"I was a drug addict, Brie." William looks at Brieanna and the look on her face didn't change. "Fed up with pleasing my parents, I am dumb enough to believe that Angel dust could fly you high enough to heaven. Obviously I was mistaken. I don't know how long I keep taking that until I just can't stop anymore. Then just one day I came home, I had no idea what had gotten into me. They said I dang choked my little sister, almost to death. It scared me so much, but I don't have the recollection of doing that."
"Is that why you are here? To stay away from hurting them?"
He took a glimpse of her and saw the sparkles in her eyes. No idea what her eyes were telling him. He nodded.
"Yeah. I just don't have the courage to face my sister yet. She probably hates me now. Without a doubt, I bet she thinks of me as a killer, a monster who tried to take her life away."
When Brieanna didn't say anything, he just wanted to leave the room. Just like she told
Evie's visit was short and Brieanna was really glad that her friend cared about her. They talked about what happen. Evie told her that she can't wait for her to come back and catch some waves together. Although she is feeling better, William insisted that she stays for one more day. But it kind of bored her just to stay inside so she went to their porch that faced the ocean. She smiled when she saw the sparkling waters. The waves were calm and like always would crash on the shore. "I want to feel the ocean," she whispers, standing up and walking towards the shoreline. Letting the soft wave on her feet, her mouth displayed a smile. The water is sure cold and if William wasn't going to get mad she probably would have submerge her body in the ocean. The breeze is just so fresh, salty it seemed. Now that she's in this peaceful place again, she could only think of what has happened to her so far. Coming here because she wanted to di
Everything is back to normal for Brieanna. She went to work before William could even offer her to give her a ride. She doesn't want a ride, she just wants to explore more the road she takes. Not everyone gets a chance escape such situations. Entering the resort, she meets Richard who was with his surfboard. This happens often but this time, she wants to start greeting him with the same energy he puts. "Good morning, Richard!" she greeted, earning a raised brow from him. "Good morning. Someone's kind of in a good mood. I wonder what happened," he said, giving a lopsided smile. "Thank you for calling William. You saved me." "I could have done better but I didn't know. I'm glad you are back safe." "Practicing again?" She looks at the board he is holding on his side. "I might join you one day with Evie." "Yeah. And I'll look forward to that. Just make sure I ain't gone by the time you decide to do it," he uttered, softly laughing.
Brieanna was upset with William that she didn't laid eyes on him anymore and just marched towards her room and slam it close, diving into her bed. She hugged a pillow, squeezing it tightly and then punching it, grunting every time her fist hits it."You stupid, Jerk!" she muttered but desperately wanting to scream it out loud. She liked the whole night market, the walk, the fireworks but why does it need to end with them arguing? "Is it my damn fault?"Just some moments later, she hears a knock on her door and her brows instantly knitted together. There are only two of them in the house and obviously it's going to be none other but William so she didn't say anything at all."I know you are mad." She hears him say. "I didn't mean it the way you are thinking. I on the other hand thought you were sick of me, that you didn't want to live with me... I'm never good with words, Brie. But you're honestly important to me. I thought I made it clear when I said I lov
Evie is on her way to the public beach when she came pass Dianne. That trouble maker is three years younger than her who acts like a know-it-all bitch. It made her scoff as she walk pass the girl. If she was in a bad mood right now, she would have attacked that Dianne. Fortunately, she's quite busy. A competition is coming up and she doesn't want to lose to anyone. She's very competitive. Makes her look back at the old days with her childhood best friend. "That idiot," she murmurs, giving a lopsided smile. "He must be happily married." Just to make it clear, Evie doesn't like Brieanna, she loves Brieanna as a sister, a friend or best friend but never the romantic kind of way. She just really enjoys when William acts possessive over Brieanna. It's nice to be young-- not like she's that old but she feels really mature. Near the shoreline, Evie warms up first, not giving a damn what other people thinks of her. After some stretches, s
Brieanna was on her way out of the resort when she saw the lady she adores, slightly bending over like she's looking for something. She would not mind helping the lady out so she approached her. "Uhm... do you need help?" The lady looks at her, blinking with those sparkling big lovely eyes. She even has beautiful eyes! She want to squeal! "If you don't mind," she said, smiling. "I lost one of my earrings! It suddenly popped out. It's a present from someone really important to me. It looks like this." The lady showed her the other one that she's wearing. Nodding, Brieanna squatted and started looking. The earring looks really expensive and it suits the lady so much. Also her voice was divine! A few moments later, the lady shouted, raising the earring. They both stood up and Brieanna smiled at the lady. She wasn't much of a dang help at all. "I'm glad we found it," the lady uttered, giving a cute a smile. "Thank you for helpi
Unlike the usual time Brieanna goes in for work, today, she was earlier than the old days. It might be because she's excited about the Funfair her and William yelled at each other about that night. She's never been in a funfair and she wants to try the rides. Passing by the lobby she spotted Bella and likewise, she waved. She was about to be on her way when Bella started striding towards her. Here comes trouble, she thought. "Good morning, Brieanna!" Bella greeted, surprising her when she suddenly did the cheek to cheek, greeting. Ugh! Reminds her of her rich aunts! "Good morning," she replied, laughing awkwardly. "Thank you again for helping find that earring. Mind having coffee with me? Or are you headed towards work already?" "Uhm, I think I have time. Just a little though." Of course she didn't want to be rude so she let Bella drag her towards the dining area. There, they ordered coffee and it wasn't her kind of coffee so she
After Brieanna's shift, she hurried outside to get home. Only at the lobby, she froze for a moment with her eyes wide. She bits her lower lip and started running back to the kitchen and into the lockers room. "You're back so quick! Did you forget something, dear?" Veron asked her. "Um... yeah! I- um..." She scratches her forehead, thinking hard what she forgot. Why did she even run back to the kitchen when she could have just walk pass the lobby? Damn! "You seemed pale! Are you alright, dear?" "I-I'm okay, Veron. I'm sorry for worrying you. I-I just need a moment here," she stammers, sitting down on the floor, her back against the lockers. "I'm not convinced but I'll let this one off," she told her, raising a finger. "Next time, I'm going to need you to spill what's on your mind, okay?" Chuckling softly, she nodded. Veron then packed up her things and left the room. Now, she's all alone, her feet gathered up. What is she go
Right when Brieanna asked it, William's eyes widened. How the hell did she know that? How the hell did she know about Bella? Did that-- "Remember when I was late? Bella was the one I helped. I helped her look for the earring an important person gave her. I was wondering why earlier she looked like she would kill me," she chuckles softly, "Then I saw you and her after my shift was over. I came to realize, something must be between you two." Brieanna pierced her cold eyes at him. Now he's seeing it, feeling the cold atmosphere that he didn't want to feel. "It's not like that. I would never want her back and I told her that. But the thing is," He inhaled and blew it out, "Where we lived before, me and her, we live in a different dang world where our lives revolves around money, stocks, companies, lands we own and power!" "I understand," she muttered, forcing a smile that appeared to him as a sweet one. "Does she need your help? To pretend like you
