2025-04-23 23:55:39The bus finally stopped, and I stretched my arms, relieved to be away from home—even if just for a few days. This school trip was supposed to be a breath of fresh air. A much-needed escape from everything… especially Edward and Cole.
Three days of peace. No fake smiles. No walking on eggshells. Just me, my classmates, and a normal school trip.
I slung my backpack and hand-carry over my shoulder, following the rest of the students off the bus. I didn’t bring much—just a few clothes and essentials. This was just a short getaway for me.
We were at some nature retreat with hiking trails, lakes, and a bunch of outdoor activities I wasn’t exactly excited about. But it didn’t matter. As long as I was far from that suffocating house, I was good.
I took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of pi

“Truth or dare, Lau?”I glanced at my classmate who was grinning at me, the bottle still spinning on the table. The entire class was crammed inside one of the log cabins assigned for our trip—some were playing cards, others drinking, and the rest—like me—forced into this ridiculous game.I should’ve just gone straight to my room.“I’m not playing,” I said coldly, already standing to leave. But Lenie yanked me back down before I could take a step.“Oh, come on! Just one round,” she begged, eyes gleaming with mischief. “It’s just a game—and besides, you’re the only one who hasn’t been picked yet.”“Yeah, Lau,

“We’re playing a game today?”I smiled at the excitement I felt upon hearing the announcement from our teacher. It was the second day of our trip, and they had set up a treasure hunt. Finally, something thrilling. Something worth my time.I glanced around at my classmates. Some of them were already pairing up, discussing strategies. Others were groaning, clearly not fans of running around looking for clues. But me? This was my kind of game.“You all have to find the hidden treasure before sundown,” our teacher explained. “There will be clues along the way. Follow them carefully. And of course, stick with your partners.”Partners.I frowned. My excitement immediately dropped.Son of a bis

I woke up to a white ceiling and the cool air brushing against my skin. My forehead creased, my throat felt dry, and I slowly scanned my surroundings. I was in a small, simple room with a thin curtain over the window, an old electric fan whirring, and an IV drip attached to my hand.A rural hospital?I closed my eyes for a moment, trying hard to remember what happened. The last thing I remember was my exhausted body, curled up in a cave. Rain. Cold. Cole.I jolted upright but immediately grimaced as a sharp pain throbbed in my head. Shit.Just then, the door opened, and our professor walked in, holding a folder and looking like he was in a hurry.“Oh, you’re awake,” he said, offering a slight smile. “How are you feeling?”

The house was dimly lit when I stepped inside. The familiar scent of home wrapped around me, but something felt off.As I walked past the living room, I froze.“What the hell are you up to?”A voice—low, hushed—came from the study.Edward.I took a slow step forward, pressing myself against the wall as I listened.“You have to be patient,” his voice was firm but quiet, like he didn’t want anyone to hear. “I told you, I’m handling it and I already told you, this isn’t the right time.”My stomach twisted.There was a response from the other end of the line, a woman’s voice—soft, but enough for me to h

The moment I stepped into school, I could still feel the irritation that I’d been trying to shake off all morning. I didn’t even know why I was wasting my time on someone like Cole. He’d rather defend his lying father than face the truth.Before the weight of my feelings could settle in any deeper, someone suddenly appeared beside me.“Laura!” Sue called, holding her pink tumbler, which always seemed to have some kind of flavored water in it. “Hey, uh… do you wanna go to the cemetery later? It’s Uncle Freddie’s birthday today, right?”I stopped for a second, then remembered the date.March 4.Papa’s birthday.I glanced at Sue, who looked uncertain, probably wondering if she should even bring i

“Wow, Faye, you look like a panda,” Cole teased, leaning against the classroom door frame. His grin was wide, and the playful glint in his eyes made my headache worse. “Did you sleep? Those eye bags are huge.”I shot him a glare, feeling the sting of his words, even though I knew he meant them in jest. “Shut up,” I muttered, rubbing my eyes and trying to ignore the exhaustion weighing me down.I hadn’t slept well in days, and it wasn’t just because of work or school. The image of Michelle and Edward kept replaying in my mind, spiraling my thoughts every time I tried to rest.Cole raised his eyebrows but didn’t press the issue.

“Okay, hear me out—fake relationship.”Cole turned to me like I’d just said I was an alien from Mars. “What?”“Fake relationship,” I repeated, crossing my arms as we sat on the empty bleachers behind the gym. “You and me. We pretend we’re a couple so we can stop Edward and Mom’s wedding.”He went silent for a few seconds. Then he let out a short, sarcastic laugh. “Faye, get a life. Seriously. You’re delusional.”“Excuse me?” My brow furrowed. “You think I’m just making this up for fun?”“Yeah,” he said flatly, standing up. “I think you’re overreacting because you’re emotional. It’s your dead dad’s birthday. I get it. But don’t drag Michelle into your hallucinations.”I stood up too. “This isn’t a hallucination, Cole! You want proof? There’s CCTV footage at the restaurant. I’m not lying!”“Then go show it to the world,” he snapped. “But leave me out of your soap opera. I’m not playing pretend just to sabotage our parents’ lives.”“So you’re okay with Michelle becoming your stepmom?”Hi

It was still early—five in the morning—and the world outside was cloaked in darkness. I was already standing in front of the house.

When Cole arrived in front of the house—where Laura was also staying—he stood there for a few seconds, unsure of how to begin. In his mind, he was ready to swallow his pride. But was he really?It was still early, yet it felt like he was walking down a dark and endless path. Every step seemed heavier than the last. He couldn’t let anger cloud his judgment any longer. He had to admit it—Laura was right.He raised his hand and knocked on the door. “God, I hate this,” he muttered under his breath. He had no other choice but to face everything now. He had to apologize—for the lies, for doubting her, for everything.The door opened. Laura stood there, her eyes hollow, her face marked with exhaustion. She was no longer the Laura who always had a smile, or even a fleeting spark of joy. That part of her was gone. What remained was emptin
