"This calls for a celebration." Father said from behind me. He then slowly walked towards Ethan and placed?an arm on his eldest son's shoulders with a wide smile plastered on his face. "After a long wait, I will finally have my first male grandson." He exclaimed, brimming with pride. Ethan lovingly beamed towards his wife whose hands he was holding. Elisa's cheeks turned red as tomatoes against his affectionate glance. She squeezed his hands and flashed him a tender and heart-melting smile. The…

My brother Ethan drove the car while the rest of the cars trailed behind him. Beside him, father sat with his gaze straight ahead on the road. In the backseat of the car, I sat comfortably. My gaze directed to the scene passing right through the partially opened window of the car. On the opposite side of the car, Claire gracefully sat while she conversed with grandma who was sitting in between us. The two women maintained a light conversation as our journey went on while I on the other hand…

The four hours journey back to Cordova where Crawford Mansion was located seemed to take longer than usual. I sat on my seat, listening to the songs of Taylor Swift blasting on my earphones to cheer myself up. But then I must have chosen the wrong song that I found myself? drifting in a sea of indescribable melancholy. Instead of feeling better which is my plan my chest became heavier. I decided to end the last song playing on my earphones before deciding to turn my ipod off. A deep sigh escaped my…

Watching Ace leave was painfully beyond description. I just feel that he has taken a part of me the moment he left. My life will never be the same now that he's away. After the private Jet left, I stayed inside my hospital room. All I wanted at that moment was to spend my time alone and have some privacy. Claire and father were considerate enough to give me that. After they helped me inside my room, they both kissed me goodnight and left. The moment the door closed, a deep sigh escaped my lips. My…

You don't need to promise me the moon and stars. Just promise me you will stand under them with me forever. *** After explaining everything the Doctor left to continue his rounds for tonight. When the door closed, silence reigned inside the private room. None of us said a word. Slowly, we let what the doctor said sank to our brains. The news was painful to all of us but it has a different impact to me. I feel my world turning upside down and now, the guilt hangs heavily upon my…

"I want to see him now." I said, wiping the tears from my eyes until my cheeks were dry. God knows how bad I wanted to succumb into another heart-wrenching sob. The only reason stopping me from crying all over again is the fact that Ace needs me now. I'm not supposed to act like a crybaby while he's in critical condition. I took a deep steadying breath and pulled myself together. I cast the covers that draped half of my body and sat upright. I heard father let go a deep sigh before helping me get…

I woke up to the sound of a woman crying. My eyes slowly opened. At first, I couldn't see anything. The sudden light made my vision all blurry. I blinked my eyes several times until my sight finally adjusted to my environment. When my gaze cleared, I saw Claire seated on the chair beside my hospital bed. Her shoulders shook violently as she sobbed. Beside her, father stood comforting her as she poured all her heart out. The moment my eyes shifted to the flawless white ceiling and the plain white walls,…

I was so lost as I cradled his blood stained body into my lap. Watching him like this was so painfully impossible to put into words. When I almost thought that I could be with him for the rest of my life then this tragedy suddenly struck. I don't even know if I will be able to see him again after this. I held him tightly into my arms as I whispered his name over and over again. My tears abundantly flow like an endless waterfall down my cheeks. There was a sudden piercing pain in my chest and I…

Eyes wide with relief, I continue to stare at my friend, tears falling down my cheeks in abundance. My gaze landed in her chest, the bullets were still there but she wasn't fatally wounded like what I initially thought. Her only alarming injury was the bullet wound in her right shoulder which was still bleeding. The bulletproof vest she's wearing underneath her oversized shirt saved her from a life threatening injury. Hot stream of tears flowed even more from my eyes while she looked at me. "It's…

I was so scared at the moment that I could barely breathe. Tears drift down my flushed cheeks like an endless waterfall as I watch Vince land a blow on Ace that made the latter stagger backwards. Vince wasn't content yet, he landed another blow, this time it landed on Ace's jaw. The force was enough for his brother to stumble on the floor with his lips now bleeding. Watching the scene breaks my heart into multiple pieces. And the fact that I couldn't do anything to stop it, breaks my heart the…
