CHAPTER 27
"So, where's Ella?" My brother asked me the moment I stepped inside the mansion. He was sitting at the couch as he was watching the television. He's also holding a bucket of popcorn. He was focused on it and I don't know how he knew that I went home alone.
"She... She stayed at one of my classmate's place. We have a by pair project so..." I just thought about that reason just now. I don't want them to get worried. I'll solve this problem myself. I'll surely bring Ella back so we could live together again.
I just stared at the ceiling as I intertwined my hands and placed them on my chest. I looked like a dead person with opened eyes. I just can't remove the scene off my mind. Ella's brother was the creepy guy who killed her own family. But she told me before that she didn't know him. She told me he was the guy who kept on following them wherever they go. According to what she told me, she clearly doesn't know him. Was she lying to me?

I was sitting with Neil's fellow ROTC officers. They were his senior and all they do here is talk about him. They say he is a good officer. Everyone likes him.I was staring at him standing infront of his platoon on the field. Under the heat of the sun, he's commanding them to do some stuffs. I can't help but smile as I watch him. He looks so cool."By the way, we saw you with him. Are you his girlfriend?" One of them asked.I immediately looked at them beside me and gulped. Something within me is celebrating, or maybe it's just the butterflies in my stomach. They're making me insane!"N-no, I am just a friend," I answered them, feeling a little bit uncomfortable. Imagine talking to an ROTC officer. They look really intimidating with their uniforms on."Are you sure you are just a friend? I don't think so, though. He looks at you different from the way he looks at other girls.""H-he's a bully, and he thin

"Is there something wrong here?" We turned around to face the guy who spoke. I sensed something heavy and dark so I faced Neil beside me. He was clenching his fists. He was frowning, and it clearly tells me that he didn't like seeing the guy. I looked at the guy and he was wearing an ROTC officer's uniform. The difference is that he came from a different school. So he was that officer the others were talking about. He's a good-looking guy and just by his appearance, I know he's a kind person. He was smiling at Neil, didn't bother to look at him the same way how Neil looks at him right now."I'd expected that I'd be seeing you again. You haven't changed a bit." The guy told Neil."What the hell are you doing here?" Neil stated in a cold voice. He has calmed a little bit."Don't worry. I came here for the formation. Not for you.""Neil..." The girl who was sitting at the bench walked past us and stood beside the guy. "Can we talk?"

I immediately pushed him away from me. I was totally shocked, I never thought he'd do that. I felt my cheeks burning hot. Even if I feel embarrassed, I still looked at him. He didn't expect he'd do it as well. I gulped when he bit and licked his own lips, like he's trying to taste the kiss."I have to go!" I stood up and ran away. As I was running, I touched my lips with my index finger. He kissed me. What is he thinking? What pushed him to do that?But I can't deny, I liked it. Because I'm in love with him.I went back to the bench where we left the others. I didn't see Janice and Gerard, just the other officers. I decided to sit with them. Their eyes were on me and I can't help but feel uncomfortable. I wanted to leave right away but, I just can't leave here."Hey, you knew officer Vernon and that Janice's past relationship, right?" One of them who's sitting beside me asked."Janice is his past lover. And Marigold knew tha

Tears started to form in my eyes as I just nailed my eyes on them. I held my chest when I felt it tightened. I can't believe I'm seeing this right now. It felt like my world just crashed."G-gold..." Neil looked at me when he noticed someone was watching them. And there, totally, my tears fell down. He is looking at me with sadness. He suddenly took steps towards me but I stepped back. Janice, who was standing beside him, looked at me like she's saying sorry inside her mind.I decided to ran away from them, still with my tears falling down on my cheeks. But I wiped them off like what a brave woman does. I shouldn't feel like this. If Neil is into Janice, then fine.I just focused my attention on my feet and I don't care if I bumped into a sturdy structure or even fall into a cliff. What I want is that I should get away from all of them. From both of them.And what I expected really happened. I bumped into someone. I stopped and I covered my face with my h

"M-marigold..." Ella uttered the moment she lifted her head and saw me. I can see bruises on her face. I can clearly tell that she's in pain."Oh, freak. Here's your fellow psycho, by the way." Aubrey smirked as she pointed the two kneeling. I looked at the brother of Ella. He was totally defeated. But why? Why isn't he fighting back? Why does he feel helpless? Why?"Aubrey, Audrey. Please, stop it." I said."No way. We have come this far, freak." Audrey smirked.Aubrey turned her gaze around the people surrounding us."Listen up, people! This girl is just like them! She's also a psycho! Earlier, she threatened us that she'll break up our bones! We don't tolerate that kind of behavior, right?!" She shouted as she pointed me."Yeah! Kill her too!" The people shouted so I closed my eyes, trying to ignore them. I must protect Ella, no matter what.I slowly walked towards the two kneeling. I stood beside Ella, the reason for her to look u

I was listening to everything Gerard says. And I can't believe I am hearing all of it. Janice didn't intend to leave Neil years ago. She just thought that leaving him would be the best thing to do.I formed my hands into fists. Why do I suddenly feel like I'm losing? Like I am no longer a part of Neil's life? Why do I suddenly saw only him and Janice?"She was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago. We thought she's gonna die. She wanted to stay away from Neil, she doesn't want to hurt him, and she doesn't want him to suffer just because of her. She decided not to tell him about her condition." Gerard explained as he was sitting beside me. We both sat here at the waiting area. No other people are here except us. He just kept his eyes on his fingers as they were being intertwined. I can feel that he is nervous as he explained all this."She planned that we should pretend like she was betraying him. She kissed me because she knew that Neil was around. That's when Neil
Miss Wallflower CHAPTER 34
"L-let me apologize, Marigold. I know, Neil's in love with you. B-but I still have the guts to come back to him after leaving him—""You don't have to apologize, Janice. I understand the reason why you left him years ago." I cut her off."Gerard told you, huh?" She chuckled but I know, she's just forcing herself to do it because I can still see that she's in pain."You know what? I told Neil that I still love him." She said, smiling. She just focused her eyes on the ceiling.I suddenly felt something stabbed my chest so I held it with my hand."But too bad... he doesn't love me the way he did before. He feels only pity." I saw tears falling down from her eyes. There's something in me that feels happy because Neil no longer love her but I feel sad for her, though. She has a valid reason to dump him just like that! She isn't even betraying him!"I told him to lie so I could die happily. But he don't want to. He just wanted to tell me the
Miss Wallflower CHAPTER 35: THE LAST
I was on my way to Neil's house. I was seated here at the back part of the car while my driver's the one driving. I can't help but feel nervous. Neil's parents are that desperate to make him marry Aurelia? But Neil's not in love with her! How can he marry someone he doesn't even love!Suddenly, the car stopped. I asked the driver what happened and he said that a kid was blocking the way. I frowned and went out of the car. I saw the kid kneeling and no one dared to help him. So I walked to him and helped him get up."Can you stand up?" I asked him. He looked like a ten year-old kid. Why is he alone here?"Rence!!" Someone from far away called."Aunt Shiela!!" The kid shouted at her. My eyes widened when the aunt that the kid was referring to is Shiela, one of grandma's daughter who was living at the province. And the girl whom I saw with Neil that night, kissing. Geez, I should have forgotten about it.
