"Philip!" Dad shouted. "no, Dad. I will never do that" I stood on my opinion. He wants me to marry the daughter of King of another country."Let him be, Henry" Mom stood in the middle of me and Dad as he is about to punch me again.I already received multiple punches today, yey?"phil" my little sister approached me, she's crying. I hugged her and tapped her on the back. She doesn't deserve to witness all of thi. She doesn't deserve to witness how Dad beat me up.This might trigger her, this might be a trauma for her. She's too young."Mom, go get Sophie. Just leave us alone" I said and passed Sophie to her. "Phil" she called, not wanting to leave. "Mom, Sophie is here. Don't let her have a trauma" I said and gently pushed her.I saw Sophie cry and it breaks my heart too. She's stretching her small hands to me, wanting to touch me. But I just smiled at her. °•"does it hurt so bad?" Mom asked as she treat my wounds."just follow your Dad's order" Miss Sarah suggested. They're both
AMELIA'S POV"You're not fine" I said, Philip keeps on saying that he's fine but I am sure that he is not. How an he say he's fine while he has those wounds and bruises all over her face, plus his stomach hurts.He just gave me a weak smile "I'm fine, Amelia. Don't worry""how can I not? you look so tired and weak and you're hurt. Tell me what happened?" I asked as I sit next to him, he just don't want to tell me and acts so strong.He looked at me and gave me a small smile, "promise me you won't tell anyone?""I promise" answered again. I sat comfortably and listened to him. I heared him chuckle so I creased my forehead ,"you're already hurt and yet you still have the energy to laugh? wow""of course. Just because I'm hurt doesn't mean I'll dwell on it right? I should still be positive even if everything keeps on crashing down at once" he looked at me with his eyebrows up as if asking me if he's right or not ,"hmm?""yeah, right" I answered, giving up. "So, what's wrong? what happene
PHILIP'S POVDay's have passed so fast that we didn't noticed it that tomorrow would be Amelia's birthday.I've also been counting the days that I first met her and it has already been 11 months, close to one year. Nothing changed actually. We're still friends and she still didn't know about my feelings.Mom then already got used to me going outside the castle and going home late. Dad is still like that, he still beats me up. Amelia on the other hand already have a lot of clients lately. Her art business is going fine and going much better than before. She can pay her own rent now without me buying her arts and I am so proud of her.She's saying that she won't prepare anything for her birthday since she will be saving it for the opening of her coffee shop.I've been pushing her to go pursue her newly found talent that she can actually turn into a business. She can make very delicious coffees and now, we're at that point in where we're making the menu. "Mom what can I give Amelia?"
AMELIA'S POVPhil is acting so weird. He said that he missed me. He's being childish again and it's not something new to me already. He acts childish from time to time and who am I not to play along. I hugged him back and I felt that he buried his face on my shoulders. He loves to do that, whenever he hugs me, he always do that. "did something happen, Expensive Philip?" I asked. He just shook his head and he parted from the hug. "I just missed the best artist Lia" he answered snd hugged me again with his face buried on my shoulders. He's acting like a baby again so I just got along with it. "it's already 9pm, Phil. I'm tired, I wanna rest" I answered. I had to finish a big painting for tonight and I made it for about 8 hours which is pretty tiring. "can I stay here? even just for a while and I'll go home" he insisted. I parted from the hug and pushed his shoulders so that he'll look at me. "it's late. We're both tired, just go home and take a rest as well, okay Phil?" I asked
PHILIP'S POVI didn't knew that Amelia was mad by me calling her stubborn. She must be very tired since she got mad at me. Now that I've known her for almost a year now, I know that she don't get mad easily. She only gets mad easily when she's super tired."can I give you a hug?" I asked. Hugging is like a very normal thing between us, no malice at all and I love it that hugging doesn't makes her uncomfortable."are you that tired?" she asked.I nodded. "you must be tired since you're asking for a hug" she replied and she's the one who hugged me first. She buried her head on my chest and I saw that she closed her eyes."you must be tired since you're being mad at me" I replied as well.I hugged her back.And here she is again where I feel the most safe— her on my arms.We stayed like that for a couple of minutes and I saw that she's already asleep. I can feel that she doze off as when I talked to her, she didn't responded.I can't sleep here, she will get mad at me. I stayed with
AMELIA'S POV"yes it's straight, just stick it where you're placing it right now" I instructed Philip. We're decorating, yey! I actually never imagined that Philip would visit me today, he's such a busy person. But then now that he's here, I am very thankful. Good thing I won't be sleeping the whole day in my birthday. He got down from the sofa and stood next to me.He then flicked me in my forehead ,"you said it's straight" And then I realized, it's not straight. I just laughed and he stood in my sofa again to fix the banner."should I blow the balloons now?" I asked Philip.He turned around and shook his head."you can't, the birthday girl shouldn't be working" he answered. I just laughed, what am I supposed to do then?Even though he told me not to work, I still opened the bag full of balloons and started blowing them.Philip tried to take it away with me, well he did took it from me but I decided to watch him first.We both are sat down on my carpet and he's trying so hard to b
PHILIP'S POVMy plans didn't go well. They didn't go the way I planned them to be. My plan for today is to celebrate her birthday at her house with decorations and then she'll blow the candle and I'll give her the bouquet and give then we'll eat and we'll go the the park which I reserved ahead of time.But I'm happy for her since she's genuinely happy today. Her Father whom left her years ago showed up on her birthday. And I can see that she's so happy. I couldn't give the flowers since her Father already gave her one and I'm shy to give it to her now."Phil, come let's eat" Lia called me. We're done singing her a Happy Birthday."handsome man, let's eat" her Father called me as well. "No thanks, Sir, Lia. I need to leave now, I still have something to do" I smiled at them. I saw how Lia lose her smile but I just scrunched my nose."Sir, I'll go now. I just helped her to decorate her house for her birthday. I'm sorry again" I said. They let me go nicely and I literally left with
Philip's Pov"are you sure you're fine?" Mom asked. We're now on her favorite place of the palace— the garden.Sophie on the other hand is playing on her playground just right infront of Mom's little tea table."of course, she's happy then I'm happy" I answered. We just had breakfast but we're having tea again, Mom just never get fat. Wherein Amelia always go on a diet since she says that she easily get fat but I don't even notice it, she's always beautiful no matter her size. Gosh, I remembered Amelia again. I remember her in many random things, random thoughts."how about I pay her a visit as well?" Mom asked which made me spit my tea. Mom panicked and gave me a handkerchief ,"careful, is it that surprising?"I just nodded. It is indeed surprising. Mom doesn't like to leave the palace, she just leaves if it's really that important."but you don't like leaving the castle" I mouthed and wiped my lips with the handkerchief that she gave, good thing I didn't spilled the tea to my clo
