Side of the story

I'm still bothered about what Hank said last night. What does he mean by Hade living under the name of Tycen? I am so confused. I know Tycen was a common name, but still, I wasn't hallucinating when I saw Tycen from Hade. But I'm not sure if the Tycen I know was the Tycen that Hank mentioned. I wiped my face using both of my hands, slid it straight to my hair, and held a tight grip on the strands of my hair. I let a low groan and slammed myself on the bed. The fact that I didn't hold on to Tycen so that I won't be having a headache because of a boy, yet I'm so stressed out about the theory I had that maybe Hade and Tycen are the same person. If Hade was Tycen, how would I react? Will I get mad? What would be my reason for getting angry? Tycen and Hade didn't do anything wrong for me to respond like that. Will I be happy? Of course, I would be glad if I was a help to him. I instantly sat when I heard a knock on my door. When the door opened, mom peeked at me while smiling. I fo

Mess

Hade and I stayed at the church until people came to attend the mass. We talked about his life together with Hank while on the bus. He told me that he could clearly see Hank to me when I was at home, that he was proud of me, and that my mom was so thankful for having me as their child. I doubt that I was one of the reasons why she got sick. I can't ever forgive myself for that. While fixing my bag, I saw Hade staring at me while swaying himself on my swivel chair. I raised my left eyebrow while staring at him. "What?" I asked. He slightly opened his mouth but closed it instantly; he shook his head. I frowned at him and shifted my gaze back to my backpack. "You shouldn't be doing that; it causes overthinking.", I sulk while I put my backpack on. He raised both of his brows while looking down and shrugged. He stood up and slowly walked toward me. "I'm a bit skeptical to say it to you, but I will. Just give me some more time to prepare myself, okay?" I glanced at Hade with a weird exp

Jarred

All white yet too dark. The sun shines on me, yet this cold wind still shivers my whole body. In the middle of this long wide hallway, the unfamiliar scent lunge on me, and the echo of my steps sends my ears chills. I almost forgot how hearing a sound felt. As I take my last three steps, I take a deep breath. Afterward, I put a big smile on my face as I entered this section of the hospital called Ward 12. I violently gasped for air as soon as I opened my eyes. I looked around and saw nothing. Everything was covered in white. I looked at the door when I heard the doorknob twist. Jarred came in with Dr. Kent. They both looked shocked as if I had come back from death. Jarred lunged into the chair beside me and slowly touched my left arm. He looked me in the eye and sighed. I shifted my gaze to the doctor, and he gave me a straight smile. "Ms. Soriano?" the doctor called. I raised my eyebrows as I waited for him to continue. "Did you do what I advised you to do?" he continued. I clenche

Side of the story pt. 2

I stared at Jarred's grinning face. I don't understand; I shifted my gaze at Hade. He looked down; I looked at Jarred again; he was still smiling like crazy. "I hit him with my car. With the force of the impact, he sprang backward from my car." he looked down and raised both of his eyebrows, his jaw clenched. I froze. I cannot move; I cannot speak. My mind went blank. I don't understand what's going on. I shifted my gaze at Hade; he was sitting still. His face was full of remorse. "I am the prime suspect. I am the--" "It was a fucking accident, Jarred! We were panicking that time; stop blaming yourself for the crime you didn't commit!" Hade yelled. Jarred eyebrows were pressed down and together; his lips were pressed and shaped into a straight line. He was suppressing his tears. "It was Hank. I'm sure it was Hank behind this." Hade accused. Jarred looked at him and shook his head. "It was not Hank, and I'm one-hundred percent sure of it. He was also investigating on his ow--"

Revenge is a fools game

I listened to the constant ring of my cellphone from last night until this morning. A lot of people were also shouting outside our house, begging me to show myself. Paris didn't bother to ask what was happening because it was already on the news; Jackson did reveal my identity after all. I talked to Hank last night, and he was burning mad, assuring me that he'll fix the mess Jackson made. I doubt he can. They can not withdraw the information they have already revealed. I'm not sure if I felt distressed about the news revealing my identity or maybe the thought that the report had reached dad about what was going on. I sat on my bed and stared at my phone, dying. It was already low battery. I didn't bother to charge it; I walked straight to the kitchen ignoring the two pairs of eyes watching my move. I picked up a glass and the pitcher from the fridge and poured water on the glass. I drank it and put it in the sink; I didn't put the pitcher back in the fridge and was about to enter m

Sin

How do the celebrities deal with these blinding lights focused on them? Everyone keeps running, talking through their headphones, checking the papers, scrolling through the teleprompter, fixing makeup. "Are you nervous?" Hank asked me. I stared at him for a minute and shook my head. I'm rather sad than nervous, plus this isn't the first time I will be shown on TV. Jarred and Hade promised that they'd stay on my side, watching me no matter what happened. I look around for the nth time hoping to spot the two in the crowd. "Are you looking for someone?" Hank asked again; I stared at him and chuckled. He seems feeling nervous than me, as if he will be the one interviewed. He scratched his nape and smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, I know we've done this many times, but I still feel nervous about the possible question they might throw in you specifically like this, live." I smiled at Hank and squeezed his hand. He became my manager, Jarred stopped responding to my calls and messages after I wal

Was responsibility a chore?

Dad came home as soon as he heard the news; he resigned from his company because his body could no longer work due to aging; he just turned fifty-two last month. I can't still believe that a year has passed as I look back. Months have passed, but we still have no news of what happened to Hade. I'm working on my new book these days and super busy. I barely have time to rest because I still have to do housework, take care of mom and Paris, and do the school work and work-related things. Dad doesn't care; he just chills at the house, laughs here and there, and drinks. He was bossing us around. I heard a knock at my door; Paris came in and locked it behind her. She slides herself to my bed and lays beside and hugs me. "Sydney, can I rant?" she asked; I slid my arm to her neck, and she climbed her head to my chest; I brushed her hair using my hand. "Can we just get out of here?" she asked. "Why?" she sighed and lifted her head, staring right into my eye. "Dad doesn't do anything h

Love is cruel

I still can't process all the happenings in my life. One day I met a rich ghost, I met his friend and made me their scholar, I transferred to T University and be able to be an executive director in an organization, I got to sign a contract with my dream publishing company, got involved in an issue that leads me from revealing my identity, became the hottest of the hottest writer in town, and now I got involve in an issue again. Someone leaked a video of my fight with Enzo, where he was begging on his knee, and his mother was pulling him up. That was an awful clip; they literally cut the scene and made me the bad guy; for sure, dad was celebrating. I wonder who took the video. I can't even focus on the new book I'm working on; I have to pass a new chapter to Jarred for revision before posting it on the site, but I can't think of anything. I'm already four days behind my deadline. Hank did great about killing the issue. The video was no longer on the internet, and the man who posted i

Fear is an illusion

I just realized the difference between important and precious, I thought these two mean the same thing, but I'm wrong; it's not. What's important will eventually become less important after some time, but what's precious breaks your heart. I'm still wondering if what I feel towards Tycen was really a genuine love or superficial. I didn't know him yet, I wanted him, but I'm not sure if the person I thought of him was really him or if it was the one I made inside my mind. I kept reminding us not to fall for each other because we didn't know each other yet; I was so scared to lose him. I really mean that. The feelings I felt for him were all genuine. I can totally relate to Bigbang's Let's not fall in love. I chuckled as I recalled the lyrics of the song. Let's not fall in love; we don't know each other very well yet. Actually, I'm a little scared, I'm sorry. Let's not make promises, you never know when tomorrow comes, but I really mean it when I say I like you. "Uri saranghaji mara

Do we need closure to move on?

I feel like my heart's going to burst any second. I'm sitting in a private room in Le' Seraphim, a first-class restaurant located in Manila; it is located near the seaside, and the sounds of the waves are music in my ears. Hade sent me the address and made a reservation. I am one hour advanced to the agreed time so that I can prepare myself and prepare which words to say. I was about to sit on the pillow on the floor since the interior design of this restaurant is a modern Japanese style. The table is low, and there are no chairs. I was shocked when the door showed Hade, who was also surprised to see me. We both froze and stared at each other with eyes wide open and mouths hanging. I avoided his gaze and sat on the pillow. I breathed in and out and listened to the door's medium thud when he closed it. I can feel the beat of my heart in every inch of my body; it feels like I'm shaking. I glanced at Hade; he was looking down, biting his lips; I saw his hands were shaking, and I co
