Chapter 21

“I apologize for that stupid question. That's just me being me. I can be very straightforward at times.”“Ah, I see. It's okay.”“Is it okay? I don't know, too.”“No. What made you say that? He has been like a father to me nothing else.”“I get it. Well, I'm impressed by your objectivity. I hope that did not make you feel uncomfortable.”“It's different when I say it out loud. And wait, what if it's true? What if he hasn't been a father to me?”“If that's the case, then, so what? He could be some stranger who tried to be nice from day one. There's nothing wrong with that.”I draw a lot of assumptions and conclusions in my head. I didn't notice that I have become silent for that long.“Hey! I was asking. Didn't you hear me?”“Oh! So - sorry. What was that again? No. I don't like him. I should not.”I didn't know my thoughts could wander that far. That question about liking Luke affected me for some reasons.Luke isn't the kind of guy who commits that's why I straightforwardly asked.As

Chapter 22

Whatever. No one will come. My batchmates have decided on a venue already. I can't split them. It is just not right.“Can't you just give an exemption today? It's one of the most important days of anyone's life. Please be reasonable.”I see him shaking his head. He seems trying to still look patient.“After what happened six months ago, I can’t let you go out freely and engage with strangers.”“You don't need to remind me of the reasons why. I am not trying to argue with that.”“All I want for you is to trust that I can do better now. I have learned my lesson.”I was trying so hard to make him understand. I made sure that I give enough reassurance but he does not give me any response.Would this be the kind of life I will have forever? It's obvious he's made up his mind. This is ridiculous!I see his indifference as he reads a newspaper in front of me.I let minutes pass to cool down the atmosphere so I can try my luck again.“Dad, I'll be with my classmates. It will be our final get-

“Ugh! I can't believe where are you getting that confidence to still pretend. You're such a two-faced bitch!”“I came in peace and I'd be glad to avoid you all throughout the night. Let's make this slip even just for tonight.”I see her taking a step back and crossing her arms. She looks at me from head to toe.“Whatever, drama queen! Suit yourself but you make sure that you'll get out of my sight all the time tonight.”I look down the floor as a sign of retreat. I know I have to adjust because it would be pointless to deal with her.I ignore her and continue to look at the crowd and move my head with the music.“You are the one who caused him to lose his leg and drop out of school!”“I can't believe that you could be that shameless to show up here! Nobody likes you.”I kept ignoring her because I don't want to make a scene.“Attention everyone! This loser here is the reason why Jason isn't here with us today. Can you believe this shameless bitch?!”I noticed that everyone is staring

The crowd is dancing body to body and I will be so awkward with the situation.Is this how they should dance? It's not my cup of tea.People around me are starting to get closer enough to dance with me.I feel suffocated. I can’t take it anymore. I want to get out of here!I tiptoe to check whether there's any space to slip away from the crowd.Ah! There! Nice.I excuse myself from the mob on my way out of the dance floor to grab a drink.I simply nod as I walk past folks I recognize.“Excuse me.”I appear to be navigating a maze to reach my destination.A drunk guy accidentally bumps into me, which causes me to lose my balance.“Ouch! Watch where you are going!”I can't believe people get drunk and cause inconvenience to others.I bump into another guy and step on his foot.“Aaah! Watch where you are going!”I immediately panic and apologize.“I'm truly sorry. I sincerely apologize. I didn’t mean to step on your foot.”The karma is quite fast. It's such a bad day. I should not have c

“Haha! Did you just pinch me? I will have you tonight no matter what.”“No! I won't let you do that to me! Let me go you, filthy moron! Get away from me.”I give my strength to untangle his hand from my arms.He is just so strong that my physical efforts turned useless. I hate to feel helpless.“Come here you dirty little bitch. I'm good at rough sex if that's what you want.”“Get away from me you stupid piece of shit!”I use all of my effort to repeatedly extricate his hand from my arms, but I can't break his tight grip.He was about to succeed in pulling you out when a figure suddenly came out of the crowd.“Aaah!”The guy didn’t hesitate to kick the frivolous man. His timing and moves seem to show that he knows how.The timing of the attack seems like he has been seeing what's going on from afar. Who's this?I gasp some air as I’m surprised to see the frivolous man lying on the floor, covering his stomach and breathing his blood.“Serves you right.”I look at the sudden arrival of

Chapter 26

When I was about to leave, I heard the sound of the guy being knocked down on the floor by Jason. It stopped me.He glanced at me. It's my first time seeing Jason eye-to-eye again. I don't know what to say.Before I even think of what to say, he looks back at the man to continue punching him.That stare doesn't seem friendly. Is he mad at me?Jason gave enough punches for the man to barely move.I paid less attention to that crazy pervert and focus more on the fact of meeting Jason for the first time in a long time.The way he looks changed. It drastically did. And I am now having a hard time. How do I approach him?“Jas--- wait!”But just as I’m about to call his name, he runs away and vanishes into the crowd. I chase him.“I don't care if you hate me. I have been waiting for this moment to come. We have to talk.”I frantically searched the dance floor for Jason Connolly, but I couldn’t find him.Where did he go? “Jason, please give me a chance to speak to you this time. Please.”I g

“Aside from what happened that night, I have been good to you, dad.”“That's not the point.”His voice doesn't seem colder than it usually is. It's working.I even walk closer to him and the distance seems to make Luke uncomfortable.“What are you doing?”I touch his shoulders and slowly rub them to feel his emotions.I know it's a mistake and I only did that because it will never happen again. That would be the last.The good rubs I'm giving him make me feel that he isn't going to be mad. It works!“Take your hands off me and go to bed.”“You should follow what I say. I’m doing this for your own sake.”Oh! The box that contains the hyacinth necklace just suddenly fell out of my bag.“Who gave you that?”“Oh! It's a graduation present from a classmate. Aw. Isn't it sweet, dad?”I was busy looking at the necklace in amusement and it was later when I notice that his mood has changed.Wait, what?! Is he mad again now? What have I done this time?“Why would a classmate give a graduation p

Chapter 28

Luke Witts saw you having a deep thought.“Stop your head from running wild. We need to go early tomorrow. We have to get you some clothes to wear.”I was interrupted in thinking.“What did you say again? Sorry. I didn't hear.”“To the mall. We’re going to buy your dress for the wedding.”I and Luke Witts go to a jewelry shop. The rest of the customers in the jewelry store have been shown out early.I don't need the jewelry I thought we are buying clothes. What's going on?Uhm. I thought we are going to buy some clothes for the wedding but why are we heading to a jewelry shop?Luke just looks at me with his blank emotionless face.He always does this. He is so confusing. When does he get angry? happy? sad?I guess I just got used to it.“Ops! The shop is already closed I guess we just have to go buy some clothes now.”Without a word, he grabs my hand and we both enter the shop. Surprisingly, it opened.“Hi there! How can I help you? Are you looking for something specific or can I reco
