ADRIENNE I haven't been able to sit still for a while now. I am fidgeting in my seat. I’ve let out several deep breaths, desperately trying to calm myself down. When Tita George told me that she had called Daddy and informed him about my sister’s condition, I immediately went cold and became extremely anxious. I emailed Mommy four days ago , but I don’t think she has read it yet because I still haven’t received any response from her up until now. Five days have passed, and thank God, my twin is now stable. She has also been transferred to a private room. The attending doctor was also amazed by how quickly my twin has improved. According to him, this is the first time he has ever encountered a patient like my twin. He said that my twin is truly fighting to recover and fighting her way back to us. Tita Kailey arranged for her to stay in a VVIP room, which I didn’t object to anymore because I knew that there, she would receive proper care and be closely monitored by the doctors and

ADRIENNE Nagising akong may nararamdamang mainit at malambot na bagay ang dumampi sa aking labi. Matagal at tila nakadikit ng ilang minuto ngunit nang imulat ko ang mga mata ay ang tulog na tulog na si Asher sa aking tabi ang aking nasilayan. Banayad ang paghinga niya at himbing sa kanyang pagtulog. Napakurap ako at hindi namalayang pinagmasdan ang napakaamo niyang mukha. Was it just a dreamed? Tila siya isang anghel na bumaba mula sa langit upang bantayan at samahan ako sa magulo kong mundo. Sumilay ang malawak at matamis na ngiti sa aking labi. Tinukod ko ang siko at inunan ang ulo sa aking kamao, ang sarap niyang panooring kalmadong namamahinga sa aking tabi. Bagay na pinapangarap kong mangyari sa bawat araw ng buhay ko. After a moment, her lips parted ever so slightly, as though inviting a forbidden closeness from me. I swallowed, suddenly nervous. My heart began pounding wildly, stirred by a dangerous longing that threatened to overwhelm my reason. It felt as though that smal

IANA SKYLEIGH ASHER YU Every decision I make, every situation I allow myself to step into, is something I never take lightly. I was taught to think things through, to study every possibility, to understand exactly what I was getting myself into before I ever dared to take that first step. That was what my two mommies taught me, to be certain before committing, to never gamble with something that could change my life. And yet, somehow, I had ended up here. For the first time, I wasn't sure if the decision I had made was the right one. I knew I loved Amber. I was certain of it. For the longest time, she was the only person I could see beside me when I imagined the future I had always wanted. She was the person I chose, the person I believed I was meant to build that future with. So why was everything suddenly falling apart inside my head? Ever since Adrienne came back into my life, nothing had felt the same. Not a single day had passed without her crossing my mind. And I hated my

IANA SKYLEIGH ASHER Two weeks had passed since what happened at the hospital. Since she returned. And for those same two weeks, I had been avoiding her. I was afraid that the wall I had been desperately trying to build around my heart would come crumbling down the moment I stood before her. I had spent convincing myself that distance was the only way to keep from falling apart, and yet every passing day without her seemed to weaken the very foundation I was trying to protect. I didn’t want to be the reason she and Yellow fell apart. I rested my head against my pillow and stared at the ceiling. I had been awake for hours, but I couldn’t bring myself to get up and go to work. My body felt heavy, as though even the simplest movement required more strength than I had left to give. For two weeks, she had tried talking to me over and over again. And for two weeks, I had chosen not to face her. Not because I didn’t want to hear her voice. God knew how desperately I wanted to. But I was t

IANA SKYLEIGH ASHER Life is full of things we never expect. Things that never once cross our minds as possibilities, until suddenly, they become our reality. When I saw Amber suffering, when I watched her drowning in pain, I promised myself that I would pull her out of it. I did everything I could to help her forget Caitlin,the woman I believed would never come back. And back then, I was certain I loved Amber. I chose her. I chose to stay beside her when she was hurting. I chose to become the person who would make her smile again. I chose to love her because I believed that if I could ease her pain, then maybe the ache inside me would disappear too. Every time I saw Amber cry, every time she locked herself away in her sadness, I felt her pain as though it were my own. Seeing her broken made something inside me break, too. So I convinced myself that was love. Maybe it was. But love, no matter how real it once felt, does not always mean it is meant to last. I thought I understood
