Chapter 29: The BraceletVictoria Abbel's Point of View"I love that look on your face. Full of dread and misfortunes.""Shut up, Theo!" Nabuhayan lang ako ng loob nang makita ko si Theo na may dala ng order naming dalawa. It's been two days. Dalawang araw na hindi kami nagkita ni Trevor. Nang maihatid niya ako sa aming bahay ay agad din itong umalis nang hindi man lang nagpapalit ng kanyang damit. Now, there's no contact from him! Napaka unfair talaga ng mundo. Kapag nakaramdam ka ng sobrang kasiyahan ay katumbas naman nito ay sobrang kalungkutan!Mula ngayon kasi ay pinagiisipan ko pa rin ang sinabi niya sa akin ng gabing iyon. Who is he to talk about my worth? I mean what he told me was perfectly on point but this is my decision. I decided to wait for him, what's wrong with that? Baka ang gusto lang niyang iparating sa akin ay hinding-hindi darating ang araw na magugustuhan niya ako. And I must be lying if I didn't break from his words. He's always hurting me. Hindi naman dahil ara

Chapter 31: The CodeTrevor Dmitrí's Point of ViewI run my fingers through the thick hank of my wet hair. The droplets are rolling down to my cheeks. Nakakaramdam na rin ako ng matinding pagkalamig dahil sa basang mga damit ko. Even my underwear is wet!Napailing na lang ako sa aking sarili habang inaalala ang nangyari kanina. Naligo lang naman kaming dalawa sa ulan at kahit ilang beses akong tumanggi ay alam kong pipilitin lang ako ni Victoria na lumabas.I felt something building up inside my nose and I started to sneeze. Oh, God! The concert is just around the corner and I can't be sick now. But what else can I do? I can't refuse Victoria Abbel.Her image started to flash in my mind like a panorama. And it's true, she's quite charming. At her age, she's such a femme fatale type of person.I never felt good being with a woman. The moment that we've done it, it was good. Far from good actually. Alam ko rin na hindi siya makapaghintay itanong kung ano ang nararamdaman ko sa kanya. I

Chapter 33: PerceptionTrevor Dmitrí's Point of ViewI don't know how many times I sneezed inside my car. I lost count already. And that's because of the fucking rain. But when I was with Victoria Abbel, the rain was oddly good. It was warm enough and didn't give me chills to the bone. Sinimulan lang akong lamigin nang makabalik na ako sa studio. I sigh. Tori, Tori, Tori, what have you done to me?Bumaling naman ang atensiyon ko nang tumunog ang aking phone. I groaned. I am tempted to turn off my phone.I've also been getting a lot of calls coming from my bandmates but I declined all of them. Alam kong kukulitin na naman ako ng mga ito kung sasagutin ko lang ang mga tawag nila. They'll ask me where the hell I am and I should go straight to the studio. I know my responsibilities, they don't have to remind me.We're actually going to decide which songs to sing at the concert. And I've decided to sing my new song entitled It's Never Too Late for the last part. That's why I told Victoria

Chapter 35: The DecisionVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewNapatigil ako dahil sa sinabi ni Nikos."You're losing your sense of reality that's why you can't see your Dad not until now. You refused to see the image of your dad in your brain. And everyone knows what you've done. You are a slave of your emotions and imagination, Victoria. That's what makes you think that the world is always against you." I am not even aware of myself. Oh, God, what else do I need to know? And I can feel my body hurting inside. The emotions are just too overwhelming."But we're here not to blame you for it, we're actually here to help you. We are all worried. At sa tingin ko ay dapat na natin itong aksiyonan. Masyado na kaming maraming pinalipas na taon bago sabihin ito sa'yo. We thought it would be the best if we didn't do anything about it and let you continue your life in the dark. But not anymore." It only mean that I'm sick since then. I felt numb. Hindi ko na alam kung anong dapat kong maramdaman ngayo

Chapter 37: Feel the HeatVictoria Abbel's Point of ViewHiro drove me to my place. Wala na kaming pinuntahan na iba at dumiretso na lang sa condo ko. Pero nang makababa kami ni Hiro matapos niyang ipark ang kotse ay may bumisina na lang sa may likuran ng kotse ni Hiro. Kaya sabay kaming pumunta sa likod upang makita kung sino ang bumisina ng ganong kalakas. It was none other than Nikos, riding his red convertible car. Nakababa ang roof ng kotse niya, kaya naman kitang-kita ko ang binata. Agaw atensiyon talaga ang gusto ni Nikos. Katabi naman niya si Reeve sa may passenger seat na nakasimangot."Why are you wearing like... that?" Sabi ko at tinuro siya. Napatingin naman siya sa suot niya. He's actually wearing a black sunglasses, a floral polo but all the buttons are open, kaya naman nakikita ko ang sando niya sa loob. Pati ang short niya ay pareho lang ang design sa kanyang polo."Hi, Reeve!" I waved at her and she waved back at me. Reeve is Nikos' girlfriend and I wonder why is she
