Landon looked at the girl sleeping soundly on his bed. He was supposed to wake her up and kick her out of his house, but he decided to bring her to his room since he felt a little tired after all the drama at the party.He thought he could rest and sleep immediately from tiredness, but it was washed away as soon as he entered his room. He decided to take a quick bath before engaging himself in reading some documents while drinking some coffee in his home office.He was in the middle of his bath when he heard someone scream and followed by pleading words and sobs. He immediately took a robe, covered himself and ran as quickly as he can to the room. He then saw crystal sobbing, with a tear falling on her cheeks, from having a nightmare.He went closer to her side, lightly tapped her arm and soothed her with warmth, "Shh... I'm here. Don't worry." After a few seconds, she immediately stopped sobbing. Then, soft breathing followed,

It was already the fifth day I had talked to her about it, getting out of Landon's car and not letting him know what was going on even though that meant I had to walk to my apartment.But then again, I was the one who had created the mess of inviting people to a wedding that only I knew about, and I was tired and sick of telling mom that it wasn't actually happening. So yes, I had to go through with it.After waiting a few minutes for her to read or at least receive them, I got tired, threw the phone on the bed and sighed, wishing I had never told her in the first place. She had only replied to the message that had my address with a "k", and that's it.I was about to move out of my bedroom when Mario called. I had already told him everything. First, he had laughed hysterically. Then he said he would sort everything out after getting done his work. He informed me that he was back and was going to arrange a meeting for our parents."They'll get to know each other, have a good time, and t

Oh, crystal?" someone put a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see a cheerful, as usual, Mia."Hey..." I tried not to make any eye contact."What's up?"Seriously? You ask me what's up?"I am here to uh...""How about a drink?"--------------------I don't know why I agreed to it, but I decided to drink with her anyway. Perhaps I was curious, and I wanted to know how her life was going on. I wanted to listen to her after so long.She led me into the VIP bar and ordered her favourite drinks for both of us. I remember our old times when we talk the whole night and drink together. We used to have so much fun. "So," she said, sipping delicately from the glass ", What's going on."Rich people are the same everywhere. I was one of them before, but now, I thought as I observed her. Everything about her reminded me of how we were like back then. I downed the drink in one

I woke up to a throbbing headache the next day. It felt like someone was drumming my head with spoons. I looked around and realized I wasn't at my apartment. An uninvited memory reminded me of some of the events of last night, particularly how Mia cleared our misunderstandings.I gulped down, wondering if he was still here. A smile formed on my lips as I got up from the bed, thinking about all the things I would tell him when I see him.I walked towards the living room and looked for him. Then I searched the kitchen, but he wasn't there either. Instead, on the dining table, there was a huge bowl of soup and an envelope beneath it.With a sinking heart, I opened the envelope and saw a letter in his hand.Dear crystalI don't know how to start, but one thing I know for sure, I hurt you more than you deserved. I punished you for nothing, because of misunderstandings... I don't have any excu

Landon suddenly threw her clothes at her making her shocked at what he did." Put your clothes on and get out. "He said coldly, making tears formed in her eyes.
