PHOENIXSix months later…Do you know it’s difficult to wake up someone who pretends to be asleep? And do you know when someone doesn’t like doing has always found thousands of reasons to avoid it? Well, yeah because I’ve been there—waking up someone who pretended to sleep, and gave me thousands of reasons every day.“Princess, I swear to God I will drag your sweet ass to the doctor if you won’t get up and get dressed right now!” I shake her shoulder under the blanket, but she never budges.She covers herself when I shout her name from our bedroom door. I’m already on my second cup of coffee, waiting for her to wake up until I decide to come to our bed and shake her.Now, I can’t wait anymore because I had to move our doctor’s appointment three times just for this week.“Go away, Phoenix! I need some sleep!” My wife slips her hand out of the blanket, gesturing to shoo m

PHOENIXMy heart is still pounding in my chest since I saw the News about an hour ago. I don’t know why I feel guilty even if I’m not the one who hurt her—maybe because we had history, and I loved her once somehow? Or perhaps I’m one of the reasons why that woman manipulated her into doing something horrible?I feel Samantha gripping my hand tightly. She kept telling me that Gabrielle will be okay throughout the ride to the hospital.I take a deep breath when we step inside the hospital lobby.According to the News, Gabrielle was the one who called the 911 before the drug dealer killed Suzanne right in front of her own eyes. She must be so terrified and shocked, and she will never forget that extreme brutality of the murder of once she believed was her mother. I feel so bad for her, and I can see based on that News earlier that she was also beaten by those assholes.“Phoenix, are you ready? That’s her room.”I look down

SAMMy body is shaking with fury when I see Gabrielle in my apartment door. Those things she did to my relationship, to Phoenix, and to myself make me want to strike into her, grab her hair, and drag down to the lobby, then kick her to hell.I don’t know what stops me from doing things like that, perhaps I’m a better person than her? If this only happens before Phoenix is back into my life I already punch her face.But she is not the bitchy Gabrielle—the insensitive, empathetic, and vicious woman. Right now, she cowers down while Phoenix is grabbing her and growling on her face.“Let her talk, Phoenix,” I say calmly to Phoenix while rubbing his back. He is losing his temper on her, but I can’t blame him though because we both had suffered a lot in her hands.“I’m done listening to her, Samantha. She almost ruined our relationship, and now that we are back together, she shows up again, and this time in our doorstep.

PHOENIXIt’s almost sunset—the colors of blue and violet scattering the sky with yellow-orange and red are covering the most of it.Everyone gathers at the shore, sitting at the beach chairs to witness the sunset. The chopped woods are already piled for the bonfire later.The smooth sand caresses my bare-foot in every step I make. The sound of waves rippling softly at the shores is so calm as I walk hand in hand with my fiancée, Samantha through the shoreline.This is the best feeling in the world—at this moment all I can think is I am such a lucky man—being loved and in love with the same woman.She is kicking the small waves every time they reach on our feet—it feels like a soft massage. I can’t help but smile at how she laughs when the seawater hits me.“Childish,” I mutter, grinning.She doesn’t care. I can see how much she enjoys doing it, and I’m beyond happy watching her laughing freely because i

SAMThe two-story beach house owned by Abby is beautiful—it’s a gift for her husband on her nineteenth birthday. I can’t help but appreciated the magnificent view that catches my eyes. An azure blue sea in a seemingly calming current, and the sounds of the rippling of waves hitting the seashores. fluffy white clouds drifting up in the sky, the seagulls squabbling overhead. I can taste the salty smell of the breeze.“This is the best part of the house,” Abby says proudly while we girls are leaning against the concrete balustrades of the balcony.We run over here as soon as Abby announces that she will show us the patio, leaving the guys behind us.“Aside from our bedrooms, this is the best,” Izzy agrees, giggling with Abby.“You two stop with your innuendos. Sandy is single, and I need you two to arrange blind dates for her,” I retort.Sandy elbow me with a grunt.“Oh, sister-in-law it’s been taken care

UNKNOWNSomewhere in the neighborhood...I slumped myself down to the worn-out bed after kicking off my ten-dollar high heels. My eyes are focused on the white boring ceiling that is almost yellow, and the paint is cracked at every corner of my small bedroom. This place is too old and needs remodeling, but I can’t even afford to do that.I release a deep sigh, sniffing at the overused dress that I wore almost every day to the diner where I work for over a year now. I wince at the smell of grease, sweat, and a cheap perfume I bought last week after receiving my salary.This isn’t the life I want—I always dream so high when I was a kid. I dreamt owning sky-high buildings, fashion and cosmetics lines, and of course a yacht.I love places like Greece, France, and the Caribbean—I’ve been to those places many times, and it all suddenly changed.Patience is the ke

PHOENIXMy mind goes back to the lunch I spent with my family. I can’t help but think about how Samantha’s dad died. What if? My stomach twists, and the longer I think about it, the more I feel I want to throw up.“Penny for the thoughts?”
