Chapter 04

Brieanna woke up at almost 1 pm and because she woke up late she missed her free breakfast. So now what she did was just eat cookies after getting a new sim card. She needed it for booking a motorbike from a website called Book2wheel.

Getting at that website, she started filling up all the blanks and choosing how long, which motorbike, and blah blah blah. She immediately received a confirmation email with her reservation details and number from the website after choosing to pay cash when she picks up the motorbike. The only thing she needs to do now is wait for the motorbike owner to confirm.

It was almost two thirty in the afternoon when she received the confirmation text from the owner. She stopped writing and head out.

Brieanna didn't know where the meet up place was so she started to asked people from there.

"Uhm... excuse me," she asked a shop vendor. "Do you happen to know this place?"

The shop vendor who was an old man on his 80's just stared at her with a smile. She rolled her eyes in frustration, she needed to hurry up.

There's a lot of people there but most of them are just busy people who doesn't want to be disturbed.

"Do you know where this place is?" She asked again. Then again, the old man didn't answer.

Brieanna then heard a chuckle from behind her. She immediately frowned as she saw the guy from last night.

"What's with the face?" William asked with that cute smile. He was just passing by when he saw her asking around townspeople. Curiosity drove him to follow her.

"I'm frustrated because I can't find this damn place," she answered, being all grumpy while showing him the location.

"Oh so you went and rented a bike-cool," he said.

She frustratingly sighed and rolled her eyes because she thought this guy was going to help her but no! He noticed something different.

"Yeah and so I gotta go." Brieanna turned her back on him.

William smiled playfully. This girl really isn't in a bit interested about befriending someone, he thought.

"Enter the second left alley and just go straight. When you're out, you'll see another pathway just go straight again and then turn right. From there you'll see few board walks, get to the longest one's entrance," William abruptly navigated that made Brie to look back at him. "Well, hope you find it."

After saying that he turned his back on her and grinned. Seeing that irritated face of that girl, it makes him happy.

"Wait!" Brieanna yelled that made William to stop walking. "I'm sorry for being rude b-but I really need your help so please show me the way."

William turned to face Brieanna who was holding her breath and avoiding his gaze.

"On one condition," he said.

Brieanna frowned, she hates the sound of those three words.

"Tell me your name and I'll show you the way."

Brieanna thought about it as she glares at William.

"My name's Feliz so can we go now?" She lied.

William walk ahead of her and she followed. She was getting annoyed at how his aura was all of a sudden, changed. She shook her head. It isn't her concern!

After walking for about 15 long minutes they were already at the meeting place.

"So, I'll leave you now," William said.

"Yeah... uhm... thanks for helping me out," she shyly muttered. It was getting so awkward.

"I'm sure you don't want to know my name nor get my number, so I'll see you around, Brieanna." William walked away with a smirk on his face. He saw her name when she showed her the location, her details were also there so.

Brieanna released a short gasp. How on earth did that guy know her name? Was that why he went quiet? He knew she lied!

"You're stupid!" She mumbled as she slap her forehead couple of times. He probably thought she's a liar. Well she lied so what do she expect?

"Whatever!" She murmured to herself and waited for the motorbike.

•••

William looked at Brie from inside his car. The window is tinted enough for her to not see him inside. She doesn't even have a clue that it was his car that parked just two meters away from her.

Finally, the motorbike owner came and unloaded the motorbike from his truck. They talked for a moment and then the owner left.

He watched as Brie put on her helmet and hop on her rented bike. Then she drive away. William then started his car and followed her.

"Why are you following her?" William asked himself as he turned to a short cut. He was loosing her.

Good thing he's fast and a great driver. Where is she going? He asked hisself.

She was all over the town, she would only stop when she sees a cliff. Then she would take a pen and small paper to write something down.

William continued to follow her around until she stopped in his property.

Brie walk towards the railed edge of the road and then spread her arms wide. The wind was just so fresh and she feels at peace atleast. This is the place, a beautiful place to die.

She looked at the big tall rock surrounded by the ocean. That's what she needs to climb and then boom! Her eyes caught a house at the side. There was a drive way down to the beach and that house. Then she climb the tall big rocks. Hmm maybe she can sneak in there.

Because she was so determined to make the place as her graveyard, she went down. She might get imprisoned for trespassing but there seemed to be no one living in the house.

She took off her shoes and went to the shoreline. As the wave crashed on her feet she smiled. Her smile faded when she recalled what happened when she was still seven years old.

It was a beautiful morning and she was swimming at a beach in their old town with her parents. She was at the side, almost at the shoreline enjoying the water when her parents had to go get food.

Then this guy named Effie-who was her childhood bestfriend's brother- came and took a swim too. Her parents had entrusted her to him.

Brie thought he was nice and that he came to her just to play the sand and pebbles but then...

Brie closed her eyes as she try not to cry at what happened to her. She heavily sighed looking up to stop her tears from falling.

"How could a paradise like this be the start of something so ugly and self wrecking as getting abused?" She muttered and then flashed a lonely smile. She then sighed as she thinks, it will all end soon.
