Were you mine? A loan proposal
Phill's POVIt was way beyond my duty hours. It was the dead of the night. I had come back to check on Lea before going back home. Thank goodness that I did. "Lea? " I did not have to go to her cabin to find her. I found her limping with her drip and cast and everything, at the corner of the hall, overlooking the French window. " What are you doing here?How did you... nurse?? "She looked at me with anger filled in her eyes. " Can I not be left alone for sometimes? "Her eyes were red and her hair was a mess. " Of course you can. Lea, you can do whatever you want. But your bones still need time and rest. Your drip line is completely tangled. You got blood flowing into your IV line. Let me help you, Lea. I promise I will not disappoint or disrespect you. I will be right here to help you with your choice. "I cautiously approached her. She looked extremely vulnerable. "GO AWAY! I don't need anybody's fake promises. I just want to die, alright. I don't want any of your sympathy.
Were you mine? The Rodgers
Meanwhile at the Rodgers' mansion -" Mama! It means so much to me! How could you hide that letter from me? It's a good thing that they thought of using my alternate number. You were keeping a tag on my phone and my computer? Am I your daughter or a prisoner in this house? "Mercy erupted like a volcano when she learnt that her mother had been personally keeping her away from her dreams. " Do you have any idea how many people struggle to get a contract from that brand? " She was fuming. But her mother did not lose her calm even for the split of a second. She elegantly put her tea down and went behind the drawers and fetched some papers, throwing them on Mercy's face. " Did you forget, little girl,that you are not 'everyone'. I could make you a shareholder in that brand if it means so much to you. But modeling for them is like giving your precious body to them as a clothes hanger. You are my only daughter. You share my last name. You need to always be mindful of that fact. You can'
Were you mine? Guests
Ting Tong! Ting Tong Ting Tong! Phill looked puzzled as the bell went berserk. He rarely had any visitors if not none , that too in the middle of the night, when he already had someone over. Lea looked at him with her question filled eyes as she held the files in her hand. Phill had brought Lea home because she wanted to go somewhere away from the hospital. Jake had paid her another visit and just like all his visits, she was left vulnerable and broken after he left. Phill and Lea were discussing work over a cup of late night coffee. " You should take the door. " Lea had to urge Phill on because he looked unsure about what he ought to do. Phill went to check the CCTV and frowned as he looked at his sister. " Mercy!!!What the heck are you doing at my house this hour? And... do you have bags with you? What's going on? " He asked over the speaker which pissed Mercy off. " Open the damn door, Phill. What am I? A thief that you are interrogating over the... "Phill quickly yanked
Were you mine? AFTER A WHOLE FREAKING MONTH
Lea's POVIt was as if my life had become one hiatus after another. I was finally able to make up my mind. I left Jake. I finally broke up with him. I left him with a note. Just a note and then I disappeared from the hospital. It was a great thing that Rosa had come to visit the day before I made my final decision. Her words were cruel but crucial. I needed someone to tell that loud and clear for me to make my move. It was for the best. It was for Jake's sake that I broke up with him, over a note. Phill had helped me with that job like he promised but unlike I promised him, I couldn't live in the same city where Jake was. This time I was going to disappear as in, vanish from existence. I didn't even get back to our aunt. I just told her that I was going to go away somewhere for a job and that I was not going back home. I changed my number. I blocked everyone I knew. If Jake was not going to be a part of it, the life that I previously knew, the Lea that I was... was better o
Were you mine? Absence
Lea's POVI woke up early that day because I had to wrap up a lot of work. I would be taking the day off but that didn't mean I would slack at work. I preferred to finish my work in advance and it impressed my employer a lot. And no, it wasn't Phill like we had previously decided. I was already indebted to him for all his support. I could not burden him anymore. I had landed myself a perfect job in a reputed script writing agency. The mode of the work allowed me the flexibility of working both in the office and at home. I loved my work. And I loved the pay more. But most of all I loved to work because it kept my mind busy. It kept me from going back to thinking about Jake. The only reason I was taking the day off was because I had an appointment at the gynecologist. The pregnancy was complicated and I was advised to take a scan every month. I was really anxious as I pulled on my hoodie and a pair of joggers. As soon as I opened my door," Surprise! " It was Phill standing at my
Were you mine? The month
Jake's POVI refused to believe what Rosa had to tell me. I almost shoved her down the stairs by accident when she told me what Lea had to tell her. There was no way she was telling the truth. I wouldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. That was until she vanished again with just a letter for me this time. The last time was different. We could still talk over the phone, even though it was not regular or for the fact that she kept making weird excuses. This time around, she literally vanished from my life... from our life. She changed her number and even abandoned our aunt. I could not believe that Lea was capable of doing something like that. Not the Lea that I knew. Never. Not after what happened between us. Not after I let her know how I really felt about her. I thought I was very clear with my actions. And it did seem she wanted it that way as well. Then what went so wrong that she had to abandon us all of a sudden. I still refused to believe Rosa's theory. Was Lea upset
Were you mine? Coincidence
Jake's POVDamn! We just landed and then my stomach started to act up. It must have been due to the prolonged alcohol abuse. I never had a high alcohol tolerance. Neither did I have any tolerance for substance abuse. But it had become my norm for quite some time. " We will do a quick check up and then reach the spot. You guys go ahead. There is a descent hospital on our way. Might as well stop and get Jake checked. "I heard my manager tell the rest of the team and crew as we changed our course ahead of the next bifurcation. I sat with my hands under my stomach, couched. " Jake, are you alright? ”My manager rubbed my back as I squirmed my face in pain. " I'm fine. Don't worry. I think I just need some pills... ”He frowned before settling back in his seat and I didn't have the energy to clarify what I mean. The car turned right after entering through the main gate. As we were headed towards the parking lot my manager suggested that the two of us got off at the emergency entranc
Were you mine? Fate
Lea's POVI rolled down the window looking out from the car as we drove back home. There was a traffic diversion up ahead so we had to take another route. The road was marked with colourful decorations and lighting which I was sure would look wonderful in the evening. The sign boards pointed towards the university up ahead. As we crossed, my eyes took in its magnificent beauty. The campus looked huge even from the outside. I had no idea that the area boasted such a grand facility. " You want to take a look in. The event is free for all. The entire town is invited. I took the day off. I can bring you here in the evening if you want. "The difference between Jake and Phill was that Phill noticed minute details. He observed me while saying nothing. He would say the exact thing that my heart craved yet my lips hesitated to say, making things easier on several occasions. While Jake was the opposite. He never understood any underlying meaning. He was impulsive but passionate. He didn'
