Sixteen
It was Sunday morning.
Ethan decided to turn off his alarm and turn off his phone. He has been waking up every day at 6 AM, and for this time, he just wanted to let himself succumbed to his bed.
The sun rays are already reflecting in his living room. At this time, he should be waking up, preparing breakfast, working out, and taking a bath. It is always the same routine that he was used to.
He heard a knock on his door. It's a loud knock.
He's still not ready to wake up yet. And now, he's sitting on his bed, stretching his arms. He yawned.
I have such a bad breath.
The knocking still does not stop. He heard the knob turning, left and right.
"Wait up!"
Ethan opened the door, and there he saw Chrystyn standing.
"Oh, thank God!" Chrystyn said as she hugged Ethan.
"What happened?" asked Ethan.
"I have read about this where people who tend to have no contro

Ethan poured out the box of cereal into his bowl.It has been weeks since he's tutoring Troye. They haven't seen Mellow right after the fight happened. There's no presence of Mellow in the university. Ethan and Chrystyn thought she might have transferred to a different university or took up another degree. But considering that, it's not entirely possible knowing that it's in the middle of the academic year.He grabbed a carton of fresh milk and then poured a generous amount of it into the bowl. He mixed the cereal and milk all together. He took a spoonful of it and then ate.He thought about Troye. Everything is good with him. And it's like everything changed since the tutoring session happened. It can be said that they are already on good terms. However, they don't make conversations on campus. It's like being close together, but no one should know.He shook his head at that thought.Ethan took the last bite of his cereal a

Chrystyn and Ethan met upright in the café. They'll be having a makeup class because exams are coming soon, and there's not much time left for other topics to be discussed.It's a cold day. The clouds are gloomy. At this time, the sun should be rising, and sun rays are felt. But today, it's just cold and gloomy. Weather like this makes Ethan misses his family. They usually watch movies together with heavy comforter, eating popcorns, and having fun. And when it rains, all of them watch the raindrops together with their hot chocolate drink and marshmallows on top.Ethan entered right into the café instead of waiting for Chrystyn. He took the seat right at the very corner, which is a sofa-like type of seat. A girl approached him."Hey, I can see that you're new here. If you want to order, go into the counter, and we'll take it."Ethan took a glance at the girl, and he froze. The girl tilted her head, trying to remember something."You're

Ethan's thought is clouded. It's full of negativity. He does not know where to start. Is there even anything to start? It's like his mind doesn't know what's to comprehend in this situation. Right now, there's an external conflict going on, but at the same time, he wants to make peace with Mellow.To just let it all go and go back from the beginning.Ethan reached for his phone on the bedside table. He opened his social media accounts and saw that were some posts about him.I've heard there's a man that assaulted a woman in this university, although I don't know who.It's scary to think they're all friends and they decided to assault one of them. Poor woman.I hope he gets caught or gets suspended.Can't he be kicked out? Ethan sighed as he read the remarks of the people on his feed. They know about the issue, but they don't remember his name nor face.There's still a chance I can fix th

Ethan and Chrystyn went out of the clinic when it was already dark. Sure, there were evening classes, but at this time, it would be hard for them to be recognized, and only a few people were lurking around.“Thanks a lot for letting us stay here,” Ethan said as he got his bag.“It’s alright. Your nose is bleeding anyway, and your reason for staying here is valid. Take care, both of you,” said the nurse.Chrystyn patted Ethan in the back, and she smiled at the nurse, mouthing thank you.As they closed the door, they looked left and right, seeing if someone would recognize them.“How did you even get my bag here, anyway?” Ethan asked.Chrystyn answered, “I sneak out on the room when there’s already no one in there. I asked the janitor to open the room.”Ethan nodded.“So, what’s our plan?” she asked.Ethan sighed and said, “I&rsquo

Ethan placed the cup of coffee on the table next to where Pierre was working."Pierre, I don't get what you said earlier," Ethan said, still bothered by what Pierre told him."I meant what I said, and I am not exaggerating," Pierre answered as he kept himself busy on the task."You see, my father is not that kind of a man he is."Pierre looked at him. "He's a great father to you, Ethan. He's a good man even.""Then why?""You cannot battle business with kindness, Ethan. Your father almost failed in his business because he followed his heart. It only took some time until it hardened, and he started destroying others."Ethan did not know

Twenty-two"Are we going to take your car?" Chrystyn said as she wore a jacket. She reached the cap from Ethan's cabinet and wore it."No. Many people will notice it," said Ethan as he buttons his jacket."How can you say so?"I already attracted much attention from it."I just said so."Chrystyn nodded. "I don't have a car. We can't just take a cab, can we?""I think we'll need Wick's help for this."Chrystyn opened up her mouth. Ready to protest."Stop it. It's the only two of us now. Wick's ready to help. That makes us three. But that's all the force we h

Wick parked his car outside the Palace Towers.“Go straight to the parking lot in the basement,” said Ethan as he roamed his eyes around, looking for signs of Joseph.Wick proceeded to drive down the basement, find an empty spot and parked right there. Ethan and Chrystyn unbuckled their seatbelts.“Why are you still sitting there?” asked Ethan pertaining to Wick. “Come with us.”Wick unbuckled his seatbelt, took the car keys, and locked the door.“Why are you inviting me?” Wick asked as they started walking towards the back door of the building.“I wish to cook something for you as my way of saying thank you.”

"I should get going now," said Wick as he stood up from where he was sitting."I think I should get going, too. Troye will be here any minute now, and it would be bad if we are caught here with Wick," said Chrystyn.Ethan stood up and sighed. "Can I trust you, Wick?""Trust me on what?""Bringing Chrystyn home safely."Chrystyn interrupted. "Ethan, I can go home now on my own. Maybe they are not there anymore.""I thought what you are going through was just some mere issue," said Wick as he lowered his head. "I did not know it was this serious. I mean, this big, where they'll ambush you. I am sorry for taking it lightly."Ethan said, "We never expected this, too. But when Joseph attacked me, I knew that there would be more. And so, I hope that you'll bring Chrystyn home, safe and sound."Chrystyn smiled. "Okay. Let's go, Wick."The door closed. Wick and Chrystyn have just bid goodbye. He sat down on the sofa, just starin
