Chapter 90 – Lance It’s been several days since the wedding was over and everything went back to normal. So far nothing has gone weird or exciting and I might say it has gone back to being overtly typical. My life returned to waking up just doing my own stuff and then going to the café by the afternoon and going to my nightly gigs by nightfall. The only change I had was I am now starting to pull out all of the songs that I’ve shelved and began singing them trying find good bops because I know most of the songs that I wrote are either mid-tempo ballads or just a sad song with no sick beat. I understand the fact that in order to enter the scene, you should either have a real banger of a song or date someone famous so you could promote your music in their limelight. I’m not trying to count the days that has gone since the last time I’m with Jayler but I guess my mind’s doing it unconsciously for me. I still don’t have any form of communication with Jayler and I’ve been missing him every

Chapter 92 – Joyce They say time and tide wait for no man nor a woman. And I say that’s precisely true. Time has moved along and yet I feel like I’m stuck in the past for what I did and I’m having a strong gut feeling that I’m going to be stuck here for a longer while. Well, it’s not that I feel like it, I’m truly stuck in this mess and all I have now is myself. I have to atone for this debacle that I created myself. The stinging burn of guilt has been scorching me in the spine for years and I can’t do anything about it. I’ve got no other choice but to live with it. I’ve been cursed to be miserable and I honestly deserve it. I guess this is my karma and karma has been working harder than me. When I got out of the pizza parlor that I no longer work for after two short months, it was already past nine. It was freezing and I only have one stick of cigarette left to warm me through the night. I forgot I don’t have a car now because I sold it in order to pay for my tuition in college. I’

Chapter 94 – Jayler I stared at my own picture hanging on the wall with the words ‘Employee of the Month’ written under the frame. I’ve never been so accomplished in my life but this feels unexpectedly correct. It definitely felt good to be recognized as one of the hardworking employee of Kimmy’s even though I’m just new here. I’ve only been here for less than six months and look at me, I’m this month’s best employee. I just couldn’t stop thinking about my sister losing her job and it’s not just losing her job, it’s how she lost it. Whatever’s been eating her up lately, she should get over that and start not fucking up her job. I believe it’s already her fourth time being fired. She must be going for hall of fame. That must be hard for her. She’s been very selfless throughout this difficult times and the bills at home are all paid thanks to her. I volunteered to help but she and mom kept on returning the money that I’ve been giving to them. “Congratulations on becoming the employee

Chapter 96 – Jayler Being in a workplace with your hot boyfriend seemed to be the best thing that happened to me in this lifetime. It might be lame that I’m calling this simple thing the best thing that’s ever happened to me but it’s quite true. I can’t remember of something beyond that. Nothing really interesting have happened to since I woke up in that hospital bed. My mom and sister told me I’ve been on life-support for a year and I just couldn’t believe it. Perhaps the creator in heaven have some other plans for me that he chose to give me a second chance at life. I’m thankful for that because then, I wouldn’t have met Jesse. Jesse and I met when I returned to finish high school. He used to be this tough guy and up until now, he is tough but he’s quite a softie when it comes to me. He’s been always the type of guy who treats me good like I could never do anything bad. Every time I get sick, he’s always there by my side and he loves buying me sweets and treats. My mom personally l

Chapter 98 – Lance Georgia, wrap me up in all your-I want you in my armsOh, let me hold youI'll never let you go again like I didOh, I used to say "I would never fall in love again until I found him"I said, "I would never fall unless it's you I fall into"I was lost within the darkness, but then I found herI found you It was another typical night of me at Win’s lounge and at first, I initially thought things would be just the very same old boring shit as the day before. I’m already used to this kind of set up and I don’t have much of a choice but to suck it all up. After singing my first set, I went straight to the bar where I noticed the significant change of Randal not being there to casually serve the drink that I usually have. I sat at my usual spot and gazed over at the new bartender who doesn’t seem to know who I was. “Can I have a shot of whiskey, please?” I finally opened my mouth to speak since he doesn’t seem to have noticed that I was the one who just sang a whole
