Summer Love. I didn't think the summer part mattered. Sure we did fall in love during the summer. That doesn't mean I didn't expect it to last past that. It didn't matter to me that he was Nathan Kalis's school-bad boy. To me, he was just Nathan. The man couldn't go more than ten minutes before demanding a kiss. Who always wanted me to cuddle into him. And who loved listening to me read my books out loud.

I quickly pushed the thought away. I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs. Damien was waiting for me. His eyes immediately went over my outfit. I noticed. He didn't say anything, though. Neither did I. We left the house shortly after. The drive was quiet, but it wasn't uncomfortable. I looked out the window as we drove through the streets, occasionally stealing glances at him. There was something different about being alone with him outside the house. When we finally arrived at the ice cream shop, I followed him inside.

She's not use to so many rules, and how she has to jump away from the public eye. I will admit, Main City has changed in the years since I last lived in it. The buildings have overtaken most of the land, so high, I'm surprised they don't touch the sky. Cars fly now, and I watch as a building0 builds itself. Main City has advanced alot in technology, and I smile a bit. But then I remember Celia, and the bubbling anger returns. During the trip, Zomb was able to tell us everything they had her do when she was placed in the Sunville's version of the Markets, though not as severe as Main City. It was influenced by Main City, but there were some lines they didn't cross like Main City then.

She stared at him, intently. “One crazy summer, he exchanged with my place. I was delighted to be free of Cedric’s wrath and Caiden was delighted to meet all of you. He became obsessed of being outside and not only that, he was also obsessed of you.” I bowed down and couldn’t help but clutch my head as I remember those summers I spend with Alex. Did I really do all this with her? Am I really that romantic as a child? I guess, even if I lose all my memory, I am still sweet. I continue listening to my twin and can’t help but bite the straps of my bag so as to endure the pain on my head.

"I'm too rude and cold for you right?" Xena kept his eyes on the deserted street in front of him. It was dark, dusty, and sultry. The spotlights made the dust very clear around the streets they passed. New York in midsummer is a furnace. Even the air at night is still as hot as the air in the afternoon. The hot air outside affected his mood which had deteriorated ever since he set foot on New York soil. The final destination of their journey will provide all the answers to the questions that are lodged in Lexie's mind. He will make a decision in a moment. A difficult choice. The reason behind his so long gone to Chicago.

“Why did you—” “Because I could not let them do it,” I said. The words were a truth I didn’t want to examine. I would not give her pity. I would not kiss her wounds to make them scar less. But I could not leave her in that dirt. Back in the car, the city passed in gray lines. The Reapers watched the bound thugs in the rear. Summer sat wrapped in a blanket, breathing shallowly. I felt the world tighten into a narrow line: protect her, find who sent them, and never let her be small again.

They’d even discovered some common interests, including an inexplicable love for a random football team out West. The rest of the drive passed by in what seemed a blur with only a stop or two for bathroom breaks and road trip snacks, until they were once again rolling down the main street of Pebble Point. By now, the sidewalks were full of beach goers and summer visitors down from the nearest cities, enjoying all the little seaside village had to offer. It was a perfect beach day - not too hot with a light ocean breeze - and restaurant lunch time hours had just ended. Traffic was a little iffy, but not as bad as it would be on a weekend. And soon enough, Mitch had turned down the small side

I whispered through clenched teeth, “forgive this shameless, sinful creature.” I curled up under the covers, trying to disappear into the mattress, trying to will away the memory of how he kissed me, how I kissed him back. I shouldn’t have let it happen. I was the older one. I should’ve known better. I should’ve stopped him. I should’ve pushed him away, walked back inside and told him it was wrong. But I didn’t. Because I wanted it. And that makes it worse. Now I’m drowning in shame. How do I even look him in the eye again? Maybe I should just go back to Manila. Pack up and leave this crazy summer behind before things get worse—before I do something even more stupid.

I took my phone out to see that there was an unread message from Brye. Brye: Going to stay a bit late, wait for me? Liana: Sure Brye, I made a new friend today and nasa café kami waiting for someone din naman Brye: Never mind, I’m on the way I frowned and pressed the call button out of panic. On call: Brye: I’m on the way don’t replace me now Liana: Go finish your thing Brye, and no one is being replaced Brye: What if I do? What do I do now? Who’s going to read books with me? I have these sweets from a friend, who’s going to eat these now?
