Mom said that if I truly loved Colin, I should fight with him. His future was my future too. We shared a future, so we should fight for it together.I agreed with Mom, but how was I supposed to tell that to Colin when we hardly met each other? Lately, we weren't able to call each other as frequently as before. And if we did call each other, we'd just relay how much we missed each other and wish each other well before hanging up.There was no time to talk about this kind of thing during a conversation that took place once in a blue moon.Work-wise, Colin's extended absence had affected two of the projects he was in charge of, so much so that the school had intervened. He had to look for solutions during work, and after work, he had to look after Felix. He was overwhelmed.Aunt Mel and Uncle Austin had gone back to Southsville, so Colin was Felix's sole caretaker. He had a lot on his plate."I'm good. I miss you a lot, babe. You have no idea. I can't sleep or eat. I just want to hug

The caller left a few reminders before ending the conversation. Felix, on the other hand, looked even more disheartened.Colin didn't know it'd be a congratulatory call from his colleague. Otherwise, he wouldn't have answered it.Felix was once Mr. Popular of the school. He was smart and handsome. He had the look of a business elite. He even received offer letters from various mega corporations in his final year of university.When he worked, he was as professional and confident as Colin. If it weren't for that accident, he would have had a bright future ahead of him.But that accident took everything from him. He couldn't stand nor see the sun. The successes he was due to achieve would no longer be his. How could he not feel hopeless?He had resigned to survive instead of living his days. But that phone call that brought good news managed to shatter his will to survive.I stood by the door, concerned. I made sure they wouldn't notice me.I knew looking after Felix would be chal

Within half a year, my relationship with Colin was once again cursed by someone else.The first time, it was his mother. Now, it was his younger brother.What did we do wrong? We merely fell in love with each other. Why did they have to wish us ill?I did not want to cry. I shouldn't cry.I had done nothing wrong. I was devoted to a man. We were loyal to each other. I was not going to cry.But tears would not obey my command. They came gushing out incessantly, wetting my jacket.Felix rejected me back then. How could he force me to come back to him again? How could he force my life to revolve around him?Shakily, I pushed the half-ajar door open. I took a good look at the interior.In a corner previously hidden from my view, there were glass shards. A computer was shattered on the ground, the chairs were toppled, and the leather sofa was slashed by something sharp. Its yellow foam spilled to the ground as if it had been gutted.There was a long wound on Felix's left ankle. The

I exited the apartment building, distraught. It was a sunny day, with the rays illuminating the whole world. Yet, I did not feel warm.Perhaps after the accident, my life would never be sunny and warm anymore.I did have a bad feeling back then, and I hated my hunch. When I wanted it to work, it never did. When I didn't want it to work, it always worked.I dragged myself back to campus and back to my apartment. As soon as I was in my room, I flopped on the mattress, allowing the darkness to consume me.I slept for a very long time. Were it not for Queenie's call, I would still be in my slumber until tomorrow morning or even later than that while dreaming of something eerie.If only I could sleep forever. That way, I wouldn't have to face the dilemma."Luna, were you crying?" Queenie asked apprehensively when she saw me.She was my good friend, alright. Despite the distance, she could tell something was about me right away."I was." I sniffled. A listener would do me good when I

"It's okay. My shoulder doesn't hurt anymore. No need to worry about me, Colin. I'll let you know if there's anything." I didn't want Colin to feel guilty, so I replied to his message.Colin replied to me instantly as if he had been staring at his phone and waiting for my response. "Take good care of yourself. Once I handle everything here, I'll find a way to make it up to you. I miss you and love you. Many kisses.""Okay, Colin. I'll wait for you."After I sent the text message, I placed my phone against my chest and closed my eyes.Colin didn't text me that afternoon. I didn't send him anything to bother him either.At night, Mom had a video call with me and asked if Felix was doing okay. I told her what happened during the day and asked, "Mom, if I had to pick either Colin or Felix one day, who should I pick?"Mom tried to console me with her affectionate gaze. "Oh, my baby girl. We want you to live a happy life. A life that owes nothing to anyone. As a mom, I want you to foll
