"Hey, its okay I'm here," Ethan said as he parked his car. Despite Cecy saying that she was okay, Ethan knew it bothered her slightly after all she was still human.Cecy turned to him and then smiled slightly."I'll get going then," she opened the car door and then stepped out."I'll pick you up wait for me," he said. He watched as she walked away and then drove after she disappeared."Cecy , are you okay gosh I was so worried," Sandy heaved a sigh of relief when she spotted Cecy .Ever since she became friends with Cecy in kindergarten she knew more than her own parents. Cecy was the kind of person who knew how to hide her pain as she hated bothering others.In kindergarten when others cried for their parents Cecy had already learned how to use the bus or walk to school alone. She was naturally independent more independent than her own sister.Most of the times, Cecy attended her own meetings as her parents were too busy pampering Lara.As she stared at Cecy , Sandy co
"Miss, what did you have to say about your daughter? Miss Lara Smith, was what she said the truth? Miss, please answer us we want to know," one of the female journalists bugged Mrs. Smith with questions.Mrs. Smith had total confidence this was her only way one to back Lara up and also she had finally found a way of humiliating Cecy . She peeped slightly but didn't see Cecy around and knew it was her chance."Enough, I will answer all your questions before that let me introduce myself, my name is Caren Smith the biological mother of Cecy and Lara you all know Lara my daughter a superstar."While saying that, she couldn't help but speak with a lot of pride and happiness that everyone around noticed."I see you love Miss Lara a lot right?" One of the journalists asked unknown to Mrs. Smith that question was a trap.Mrs. Smith wasn't one from a wealthy family so she did not know how cruel and smart the journalists were."Ooh, yes I love her so much," she smiled happily."So what Mis
"Grandma, I missed you have you been behaving well?" Cecy 's mood immediately changed when she walked into the house."Silly girl," the old lady said softly."Grandma, let me check your pulse," after a while she let go of her hand."You seem to be doing well grandma, your insomnia has also been cured,""Yeah, thanks to you, the medicine that you prescribed worked well,""How about I prepare you dinner, what do you think of that?""Sure, but before that, we need to talk," the old lady stared at Cecy despite her cheerful smile she knew something was bothering her. The Old Lady was someone who could see through someone especially someone as open as Cecy ."My dear, you don't have to hold it in you can talk to grandma," hearing that, Cecy immediately understood what she meant."Grandma, what they said is not the whole truth, this is what happened," after narrating the whole incident, she was shocked when the Old Lady chuckled."Silly girl, do you think I'm that weak to believe a str
"And what is that?" Sandy asked."Fight back," Cecy replied coldly.The next morning, as soon as they approached the campus, a group of reporters who were led by Mrs. Smith stood Infront of the gate. They blocked the gate that no one could pass as they yelled.Cecy shifted uncomfortably next to Ethan as she watches her yell. She couldn't believe that was the woman she once regarded as her mother. After all that, she finally understood why she was so much unlike her so-called sister Lara. Like mother like daughter. At this point, she wondered if her own mother was alive."Are you okay?" Ethan broke the silence as he stared at her driven in thoughts."Yeah," Cecy replied almost in a whisper."Are you sure you want to do this? We can just use the other gate," Ethan was quite worried. He definitely understood Cecy 's character and type. Cecy was the type of girl who was silent and easy bullied but when putting an end to it nothing could stop her.But he still felt worried about i
"I'm not sure, after filming she just disappeared she didn't even attend the release of the movie itself," the manager sighed heavily."Why didn't you look for her?""I didn't know how to find her, it was at that time that I realized I had no idea of who she really was outside filming,""I never saw her parents or anyone come for her she was always alone, despite her bright and kind nature I figured out that she was broken inside,""What happened to her after?""There were rumors that she died,""Cecy ,have you heard?" Sandy walked into the room excitedly."Woah, you've not seen the news? It's all over,""What are you yapping about? I'm going to class,""Wait, here it comes, guess who is coming back to the country?""Idiot, your first love,""Hehehe, what first love sssh," Cecy smiled awkwardly."You know who Cecy , Larry aaah I've missed him it's been seven years I wonder how he is now? By the way did you get over him? Or are you still in love with him? That bastard broke your he
"Cecy ..." A dark voice yelled stopping them. Cecy turned to the person who had called her and was immediately shocked."Why are you here?" She replied slightly puzzled."Not the reaction I was expecting but I'm back Cecy for good," Larry smiled brightly. Cecy wasn't quite surprised but the happiness she always felt when she saw him had now faded away. She finally realized that she had fallen in love with Ethan."I'm aheem.... I'll take my leave," Sandy spoke feeling left out suddenly."You don't seem happy about it," Larry broke the silence. They stood for a few seconds staring at each other in awkward silence not knowing what to do.Finally, Cecy opened her mouth to speak but immediately shut it down. It was seven years since they last saw each other and she had finally grown. She wasn't the little girl who kept following and watching him from behind anymore.No, she now had a husband."How have you been?" Larry spoke again."I've been great, what about you?" She forced it
"Do you remember the person who gave it to you?" He smiled sheepishly."Would you like to meet him if you have the chance to?""How did you know it's a him?" Cecy asked. Ethan's smile immediately froze."Did I say him?" Ethan cleared his throat."Oooh, I didn't necessarily mean him I...I just used it because you know, uhhm it's easier hehehehe," he couldn't help but feel awkward."So would you like to meet him?""Why is that?" Ethan asked in slight shock."Why would I? He played a big part in my life I would love to thank him one day but not anymore, it's better this way,""Oooh," he replied with a gloomy face."Why are you curious anyway?""Hehe, we are here," Ethan alighted from the car and then walked around to open for Cecy the door."Looks like we have a visitor," Cecy turned to Ethan her face full of questions."I'm not sure, we never get visitors here, let's go," he held her hand as he led her to the house."Grandma, I'm back," Cecy yelled as soon as she walked in as sh
"Mister, mister what is your name? Wait up," the teenage girl yelled as he ran after nineteen year old boy who looked too mature for his own age."Stop following me, didn't you learn that you shouldn't trust strangers," the young Ethan stopped and then turned towards her."Oooh," she replied sadly."Where do you stay, I'll drop you off," he continued. Her eyes immediately lit up.Ever since she was young, Cecy followed everyone behind be it Larry or her Lara."Why are you walking behind me?" Ethan stopped halfway sensing that something was wrong."Oooh, sorry," she spoke reluctantly before walking forward next to him."We are almost there just fifteen minutes walk,""Mister, what is your name?""Aaah, jeez what's with the Mister again, I'm not that old I'm not even twenty yet," Ethan complained."Oooh, you seem so mature,""We are here," Cecy broke the silence."Thank you Mister but I didn't get your name yet,""Why do you want to know my name?""So that I can look for you when I
