"W-why are you here?"I am out of breath even more now that he's in front of me.Wearing an all-black suit, even though we're outside the hotel and the lights are not sufficient, I can still tell that he's rocking the attire."You ran after me just to ask that?" He asked me in a teasing tone.I cleared my throat and fixed myself. I forgot that I'm wearing a gown tonight because of him. I put my hair in front because I suddenly felt conscious."You didn't answer my question," I pointed out."You didn't tell me they were your parents."I looked at him and remembered the conversation

We had breakfast before leaving the hotel. Uncle Lucas, Uncle William, and Rueben already left when I woke up. We shared a long rectangular table."I hope all of you had a good sleep. Lack of enough sleep might affect your daily activities. Don't let what the police said get inside you. We will find the one who did this to them so, you don't have to do anything... just carry one with your everyday life. We want you to live your normal life just like before."Aunt Irene gave us a speech as soon as she sat beside my grandmother.We tried to forget about what happened last night and just focused on the food and had a talk with our grandparents."I don't think I can leave my family like this..."

My cousins and I decided to visit my parents at the hospital today. We gave Auntie Irene a heads up so she will know what time we'll go. I found Sara shaving Daddy's facial hair. Rueben hired a private nurse and other assistants but Sara insisted on doing stuff like these especially when she has free time or she has no exams."Any progress?" I asked as I give my father a kiss on his forehead."None," she sighed.I glanced at my mother who's just beside my father. She's still unconscious, too. Until now.I sat beside her and leaned my head on her chest. I hugged her. I miss them so much. It's hard when they're not around. I hope they could open their eyes as soon as they can. I know they won't leave us. They can't leave us.

The three of us are sitting at the living space Mr. Ramos had in his office. Zaron and I are facing each other while Mr. Ramos is in the middle.Back when I visited their website I'm not sure which is his name from the list of members of his band, Blank Pages. Their names are not organized below their faces so I did not care to search his identity because I knew this day would happen, that we will meet again.And unfortunately, I am right."Zaron..." the old man breathed. "We just had a conversation earlier about your naughty tricks and impulsive actions, did we not?"That's why he was asked to pick me up from the lobby? Maybe he was currently talking to Zaron that time when the lady from the counter called him.

I went to the university as early as I can to proceed with everything I need to do for the enrollment of incoming Grade 12 students.Abigail is already enrolled and she chose a different specialization so it doesn't matter at all.The procedure was easy. I was guided by kind and considerate staff. I'm familiar with how it works because I finished my 11th year here.I submitted my requirements, took my photo for ID, fit some uniforms, and had a short conversation with my classmates. I am not really close with them. Abigail and I are classmates last year so we did everything together. I considered them acquaintances, not friends. Most of them are just after my family's popularity. Abigail and all of my other cousins are so used to it.
