EPISODE SEVEN


DEREK'S P.O.V




  I laid in my room, remembering the guy I had seen with Tricia the other day. Who is this guy, and why does it seem like I've seen him somewhere? Why does it always have to be others guys that Trish have to move with? Why can't it be? Am I not good-looking? What's it that makes other guys really special in her eyes that I'm not? These questions ran through my mind, getting me distracted from what I was reading.




  I managed to get up, a sigh eluding my frost-covered lips, as I called to Oliver's attention. "You stepping out, bruh?"




  I couldn't think of a much better question to ask, so I went for that instead.




  He averted his gaze from his phone and looked at me in a weird way. "Stepping out?"




  I sighed and waved my hand. "Oh, never mind."




  I made toward the door, got hold of the doorhandle and thought of where else to go. Having no desired place in mind, I let go of it and made back to my bed.




  "Thought you were going somewhere?" My roommate smirked.




  I returned it, and laid back down; my two hands placed on my head.




  "Relationship drama?"




  "Hmm?" I released my clasped hands and turned to him. 




  "I know what can make you feel okay," He said.




  I sat upright and stared eagerly. "You do?"




  He grinned. "Yes, I do!"




  The air was filled with crazy boom songs being played, and the loud roars coming from the people in the club wasn't helping the situation. I placed my palms on the sides of my head, properly covering my ears so as to drain the noise, as it wasn't of any effect. I looked to where Oliver was busy with some girl in a skimpy black outfit, and I moved to the side, having no intention of partying like the rest of the people.




  "Hey-hey people. Who's ready to rock this house?!" The DJ's voice echoed loudly, erupting pretty cheers from the crowd.




  "Is this what you said would make me feel better?" I said to Oliver, as he paid no attention, with his downside aimed at his acquaintance's butt.




  I watched as she ground her round ass on him, her boobs making some alluring dangling moves, making me lose focus.




  Those boobs! My mind swiftly went to Tricia's gifted melons, as I felt my dick get real hard.




  "Hey, handsome." A female voice spoke, as I turned in the direction.




  She looked really gorgeous, not as gorgeous as Tricia, though, and had really perfect legs. 




  I could feel the hotness in my boxer's area, as she threw her half-naked body on me, moving her ass in rhythm of the song. I could see my dick sticking out from its comforts, and I swallowed really hard, feeling beads of sweat gather up on my face. I can't do this. I can't...! I breathed, pulling away from the dancing lady.




  "What's wrong, baby? Aren't you having fun?" She asked coyly, drawing closer as she ran her hand on my already-hard drive.




  A part of me so wanted her to have me all in, but I had my fears. I pushed her off me, turning to Oliver as I saw the girl he had with him focused mouth-in on his dick, as he had her lead him on.




  I stared in disgust, giving my eyes a sharp roll, as I stormed off immediately, taking the first cab I saw back to my hostel.




   "Haha haha haha!" Noisy laughter filled my room, jerking me up from sleep.




  "Oh, you're home," 




  I stared at the drunken state of my roommate and the girl from the party, who was all over him. "You got to be kidding me!Is she sleeping here?"




  "Come on in, baby. We've got plenty of room for you." He staggered to his bed, making me seem like I was invisible.




  I sighed and laid back down, my head turned to the wall, "Some annoying night this is."




  "Oh, baby. I think your roommate's so grumpy." The girl teased, and he laughed.




  "Isn't he?" 




  I groaned and grew jealous, hearing them kiss, as it grew deeper, with soft moans hovering in the air - and the sound of spurting and yelps, and a rustling sheet following closely, making me groan even more.




  I turned to face them, frowning at the sight, as I pulled my blanket with me, getting up. I made to leave, and, with a final look at the couple, turned the handle and stepped out!




  




  "Hey, is Joan home?" A black girl in a strapless gown asked.




  "Home?" I tossed my book on the drawer by the corner.




  "I mean... oh, you know that already." She smiled.




  I heaved a sigh and crossed my arms. "No, she's not."




  "Okay. But can you please tell her someone came looking for her?" She asked meekly.




  "And why is that? Am I her messenger?" 




  "You don't have to be so rude, please. You don't even know me."




  My eyes widened and I huffed. "Oh, fine. I'll inform her about it."




  "Thank you," She breathed. "I'm..."




  "Sophie!!" A voice hollered outside the room.




  I groaned inwardly and watched, as another black girl entered. "OMG!"




  "Sophie, where are the cookies I asked you to keep for me?" She questioned, showing her the empty plate.




  I can't believe this girl actually stays here, I gaped at the two girls as they argued.




  "Um, excuse me. Can you girls not do this here? I was reading before you came in." I interrupted and they stopped.




  "Oh, dear. Don't mind my sister. She just gets really..."




  "Really what?!" The other girl whom Chelsea had earlier introduced as Daphne, cut in furiously.




  "Sisters?" I gasped.




  "Yes, sisters." Sophie affirmed, tugging at her arms. "Come on, D, let's go."




  "Not when you bring them cookies back! I'm starved!" She whined playfully, following her sister out the door.




  I laid back down, feeling relieved again, as I thought of what next to do, since I actually had no zeal of picking my book back up.




  I sat upright, giving a stretch, and picked my phone up, logging into Facebook as I began scrolling through pictures.




  I came upon a post I had earlier skipped, realizing who it was, and rushed back to get a clearer view of the people in the picture.




   I gasped at the sight and my phone fell to the floor. "Oh, no!"

I like your question Well, it's not a repeat. It's a rewrite. I wrote "My Campus Life" when I was still grooming myself in the writing world, and, now I feel I'm getting good at it, I went further into deleting countless scenes. Stressful, but worth it. And, cause it's super-dee-duper helping And oh, feel free to check out my stories. I'd really appreciate that. And those that are yet to read most of 'em, you can find them here, too. Thank you

EPISODE EIGHT

I was shaken by the sight, my mouth going dry instantly, as the image of the two hovered in mind. I don't believe this! So Daphne and Philip are together? I breathed heavily, feeling my insides grow hotter than ever before.

I looked to where my phone was on the ground, and contemplated on whether to pick it up or not.

Having no urge to do so, I brought my pillow close to my bosom, trying to hold myself from crying.

I thought about my chance of being with him, and how impossible it would be. No! No,Trish. This is not the end. You can't back down. Not now! You're not the type that backs down easily, and you won't! So don't let this pull you down! You've got James. Phil's not the only guy.

I laid down totally, burying my face in my pillow, as I screamed into it. "You got to put yourself together, girl! You're better than this! You are!

I slammed my fist on the bed and raised my head up again, placing it properly on the fragrance-coated pillow, as the spirit of sleep came drifting me off in no time.



"Howdy, girl." Philip greeted, sitting beside me.

I pretended not to have heard him and buried my head in my books.

"Um, what' you got there? Working some problems out, hey?" He teased, rubbing his arms on mine.

What does it look like I'm reading, I wanted to spit, but kept quiet, trying not to let my anger get the best of me.

"Ooh, looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today," He joked, poking my ribs.

I groaned and turned to him. "Can you please quit it?! I'm not in the mood for your silly games."

He stared in shock, as I got up, took my bag from the desk, and walked out on him.


PHILIP'S P.O.V

I had no idea why she had done that, but I was anxious to know why. Tricia has never for once ignored me, or acted rude towards me, so what would make her act this way? Why does it seem like she's angry with me?

I looked back at the table, noticing an unusual book seated perfectly on it. Her diary! I gasped. She must have dropped this by mistake.

I got up, heading for the hallway, as I rolled my eyes around, catching no sight of her.

I sighed frustratedly and walked back to my seat, praying things would turn out fine, before the evening light came.



"Gosh, I don't believe this guy. How could he act like everything's okay, whereas it's not?" I grumbled to myself, sipping my orange drink out of its juice box.

I stared blankly, having no notice of the passersby, as I tightened my lips on the straw.

"You okay there?Hmm?" A voice startled me, as I looked up.

"Chelsea?"

"Mm-hmm. You know I saw what happened back there," She sighed and sat down beside me.

"So you did -" I bit my lower lip and let go of the juice box in my hand.

"Why don't you just come out and tell him how you really feel." She opined, like she had actually read my mind.

I gave a forceful smile and looked down at my fingers. "You just don't understand, Chels. It's complicated."

She repeated, "Complicated?"

"Uh-huh," I nodded and clasped my arms. "I mean, he's dating, and I'm... gosh! Like it would mean anything if I told him the truth?"

"Dating?" Her eyes widened. "Trish, if you're talking about Daphne, then you're wrong, cause they're certainly not doing anything!"

"Really?Then explain this?!" I grinned and showed her the photo of them clad in a fluffy sweater, having an "I LOVE YOU" boldly written on it.

"You mean that?" She chuckled softly.

"That was a memory from last two months, Trish. Didn't you check the date?"

I eyed her and thought, I definitely didn't think of that, did I? I looked up at her. "So they're not really a couple?"

"Certainly not!" She laughed. "Daphne is Philip's ex," She explained. "Well, ex turned friend." She added, "There's nothing going on between them, believe me."

I breathed a sigh and felt relieved at that moment. "So they're just friends, and nothing more?"

She smiled and said, 'Uh-huh. So don't you worry, friend. Philip is going no where!"

Uh-oh! Seems like this chapter is a bit short. 736 words. Oops. Don't worry, guys, I'll make the next one better. Giggles

EPISODE NINE

  Having heard everything Chelsea said, I gave a thought about it and made for my bag, aiming to write in my diary.

  I kept a journal; my trusty friend as I called her. My journal was the only thing I could express my feelings in, and also pour out my hearts and emotions whenever I felt not at ease.

  I rummaged in my bag for it, hoping I hadn't misplaced it, as the search didn't go well. "Now, where did I keep it? I'm quite sure I left it in here!" I grumbled hopelessly.

  I looked around, under the bed, atop the table, and still there was no sign of it anywhere.

  I looked to where Joan was busy with her laptop, and I had no choice but to ask if she had seen it. "Jo, have you seen a yellow thingy with a flower patch on it?"

  She curved her lips and gave a negative answer, as I turned to Karen. "Have you?"

  My roommate, who entirely hates me now, gave me a "Don't-you-dare-ask-me-anything" look and averted her gaze.

  I sighed in frustration, giving a final scan and concluded it was officially lost. Sure hope no one reads it.

  I decided to go see Philip the next day, with the help of the address he had given me. Knocking nervously on the door, I imagined the expression on his face and how he would feel when he saw me standing right outside his door.

  I made to knock a second time as the door pulled open, revealing a white-hair lad in a cute denim, with no shirt covering his upper form.

  "H-hi," I stammered, staring at his well-built abs.

  "Um, who are you?" He chewed the gum in his mouth, continuously, and pulled his earpiece out of his ear.

  I stopped staring for a second and answered, "I'm sorry, I'm a friend of Philip. Is he home?" I pointed inside.

  "You mean MacKenny?"His face twitched. "Oh, you just missed him."

  "Ah. Guess I'll have to come back later then." I said, and made to leave as he clasped my hand.

  "What's the rush, chica? You in a hurry or something?"

  "And why do you care?" I replied with a question.

  "Oh, oh! There's no need for that." He let go of my hand. "The name's Xander. What's yours?"

  "Can you please just tell Philip that I dropped by?" I ignored his question.

  "You do know you're beautiful, right?" He showed his shiny set of teeth.

  "Well, can I go now?" I asked in a rude tone, not thanking him.

  "Not yet," He inched closer. "Don't tell me you're scared that I'm gonna do something? And besides, I don't bite." He went on, smirking sexily.

   "And why should I be?"

  He laughed and made a ticking sound with his mouth. "My! You're one tough lady."

  I felt the urge to punch him at that moment but stopped. "Look, man. I don't have time for this. So just tell Philip that I came to see him or you can forget all about it!" I hissed and walked away.
 

  I didn't bother going back to my hostel, since it was actually a Saturday and I had nothing doing. I decided to pay Chelsea a surprise visit, and it turned out she was around like I hoped.

  We talked about boys, had snacks, played games, and did all kinds of girls' stuff.

  Getting to a quarter to three, a knock came on the door and Chelsea made to answer it.

  "Chelsea, who's there?"

  "Trish," Philip called, as Chelsea made way for him.

  I stood up, having no nerves to talk to him, not after all the shunning, as I made to leave. "I'll be going now. I was leaving anyway." I said, and he clasped my hand.

  "Trish, please talk to me. Have I done something wrong?"

  I bit my lower lip and looked at Chelsea, who gestured to me to say something. I couldn't think of anything better to say, so I just let out the words that came to my mind. "You haven't done anything wrong, Phil. I just want to be left alone." I took my hand from him.

  Chelsea's expression grew into an angry one, and she made more signals with her eyes.

  Taking a deep breath, I looked back at him and said, "There's something I'd like to tell you." I swallowed hard, looking at Chels. "We won't take long," I said slightly and we went out.

  There was a bench seated not so far off from where we were, so we made towards it, sitting on it.

   "You wanted to tell me something?" Philip asked, and I looked nervously, thinking of whether to tell him or not.

  You can't do this, Tricia. You can't, not with James in the picture. What would happen if he finds out about this? Philip might end up getting into trouble and you would have yourself to blame!

  "Hey. What's going on in your mind?" His voice jerked me out of thoughts.

  "Phil, I... I'm sorry," I started, taking his hand. "I never should have snapped at you like that. It was totally wrong of me and I know that. Can you ever forgive me?" I pouted my lips.

  "Forgive you?" He slanted his body and placed his hand on the bench head. "Trish, I can never be angry with you." He spoke softly. "Come on, I know something must have triggered that. What was it?"

  "I... I saw a picture of you and Daphne, so I thought you two were together and..."

  "Daphne?" He stared in amazement. You know Daphne Martinez?"

  "Sort of," I shrugged my shoulders.

  "But what would make you think her and I are a couple?"

  "I don't know. Maybe the fluffy red sweaters you two had on made me think that."

  "OH. You mean the picture we took last Christmas -" He chuckled and I frowned.

  "Great! Now I'm sounding funny."

  "Oh, you so are." He laughed again. "You shouldn't have let that get to you. Besides, Daphne and I aren't together anymore."

  "So you two were together then?" I inquired like I hadn't known.

  "Well, you know, yeah. We were, but it wasn't that..."

  "Amorous?" I cut in.

  "Yes. That!" He smiled. "So we're good now, or you're still jelly?"

  "Haha! Never said I was."

  "Oh, your countenance showed it all!" He laughed alongside. "Oh, here -" He stopped and pulled out something from behind.

  "Is that..."

  "Your diary?! Yes! You dropped it by mistake." He said, and placed it in my hand.

  "Oh, gosh! I thought I had lost it!" I held it close to my bosom and asked, "Where did you find it?"

  "The library," He winked. "But don't worry, I didn't read it." He assured.

  "You didn't?"I gaped at him. "Well, why didn't you? Certainly no one will miss the chance of doing so."

  "Uh..."

  "There you are! Have been looking everywhere for you two."  Chelsea chimed in from behind, as we both turned around. "So you guys are paddy-dallies now, hm?"

  We looked at each other and laughed. "We sure are!"

EPISODE TEN

  After that day, Philip and I started hanging out more often. He and I would go to the park on Sundays, stroll the couples' lane; as it was called - a place where coconut trees were all lined up. And sometimes, would have movie nights together, and even study (even though we weren't a couple yet). But, all that didn't mean my sexcapade with James didn't continue. I made time for him, so he wouldn't grow suspicious or anything, and even spent the night at his place whenever he wanted, just so he would be satisfied.

  There was something about us that I couldn't understand. I wanted him, but I just couldn't feel the love between us. It was mostly about sex - more and more of that, and I was starting to get really tired of it, even though I didn't show it.

  The semester went by so fast, and then came another. It seemed like the previous, only things were a whole lot different. I could feel it as my friendship with Philip was getting stronger with each passing day, and mine with Chelsea wasn't left out either. They were the friends I've always longed to have. But the secret I was keeping, was something I feared would wreak havoc if it ever came out. I just didn't know how I'd handle the situation if things ever went wrong.

  PHILIP'S P.O.V

  I was starting to understand her and I liked this feeling. She made me feel so complete; so happy, and it seemed every day without her made things unusual.

  I thought about her strawberry blunt eyes and her gorgeous glowing smile - and the way she talked and laughed. She was just perfect. Wait. I'm doing that again, aren't I? I sat upright and slammed my fist on my left palm. "Phil, get your head in one piece!"

  "Huh?" My roommate, Xander, gave me a strikingly odd look.

  "Nothing! Nothing!"

  "Man, you ain't thinking about that girl, are you?" He asked, sitting up.

  "Can't get my mind off her, dude."I ran my fingers in my hair.

  "You're in love, I tell you," He joked, making funny sounds with  his chewing gum.

  "Isn't that obvious?" I uttered with a sigh, looking up at the ceiling.

  "Pfft! You're so dramatic." He scoffed, throwing a pillow at me.

  "Hey! What's that for?"

  He laughed and got up. "That's for you to stop thinking about that girl. You stand no chance with her, I tell you!" He spoke in a discouraging tone.

  "Oh, don't be such a party spoiler, you! I'm not asking her out yet." I said to him, as his pupils dilated.

  "You can't be serious!"

  "Oh, I am," came my certain reply as he burst out laughing.

  "Dude, why do you always have to act like a saint? You love her, she loves you, voila! Sex!" He gestured with his fingers.

  "Come on, Xander. That's way too early, don't you think?"

  "Not in any way," He shook his head and I gave a slight thought about it; a tap coming almost immediately.

  "Oof! I wonder who that could be!" He said with a grin and started toward the door.

  I got up, hearing Tricia's voice on the other side, as I urged Xander to open it.

  He wasted no time doing so, as an angelic figure clad in a blue jean and a sleeveless top, came into sight.

  "Trish,"I gulped as she walked towards me.

  "Um, Ken," Xander called to me. "I'm gonna be heading out for basketball practice. Catch you two later." He snapped his fingers at me, and, with a wink at Trish, stepped out.

  Or maybe that's just my imagination playing tricks on me, I shoved the thoughts off, having no positive answer to why he had done that.

  We sat down and got talking; her smile driving me crazy, almost making me lose focus.

  "So... how's grams doing? Is she getting better?" She asked, crossing her legs as her heel stuck out from where it laid.

  I could see the lining of her thighs and its smoothness from where I sat, as she ran her neatly cut fingers on the upper side.

  I was so lost and was entirely carried away, until her voice came jolting me back to reality.

  "Philip, are you okay?"

  "Mm-hmm," I gave a slight nod and got up. "Um, you want something? I think I've got tuna salad in the fridge," I motioned to the medium-sized electronic and got up.

  "Oh, please. You don't have to," She said shyly.

  I insisted and she had no other choice than to accept the offer.

  I made to the fridge quickly, taking out a plate of tuna salad, with a bottle of cold soda, as I walked back to her. "Here you go,"

  "Oh, thank you. You're really sweet," She utterly with gratitude; the words echoing sweetly in my ears. "Well, aren't you going to eat anything yourself?" She asked and raised the plate to my face, "You can have some, you know,"

  I smiled and urged her to eat to her fill, while I watched as she did. It was so magnificent doing so, and I could say everything about her was really exquisite - perfect, if I should say.

  TRICIA'S P.O.V

  Oh, gosh. He's staring. He's actually staring, I thought inwardly, stealing a glance at him.

  I imagined us kissing at that point, and I craved for nothing more than to have him all to myself at that very minute. Oh, this is going to be fun, I got up to my feet. "Where is the bathroom, please?" I pretended not to know.

  "Oh, it's right there," He motioned to the far side. "Yeah, that place."

  I smirked and walked stylishly towards it, making sure my booty moved in the rhythm I wanted.

  I grabbed the handle, bending slightly like I wanted to touch my knees, and came up again, turning to face him.

  I could see the glow in his eyes, and I knew I was putting on quite a marvelous show as I grinned at a job well done.

  "You're so beautiful," I heard him say, and I threw my head sideways, running my fingers slowly on my right shoulder, as I moved them down, feeling the smoothness of my skin.

  I repeated the same on my other shoulder and I could tell from the looks of things that I was driving him crazy; the sensation birthed by my one-woman show surrounding the air.

  I made towards him again, lifting my legs up to his bed, with my finger tips caressing the upper side of my thighs as I peered directly into his eyes.

  He couldn't keep his off of me, and I was starting to enjoy the way they danced and glistened with excitement. I wasn't ready to give up. At least, not until I know he's mine!

EPISODE ELEVEN

PHILIP'S P.O.V

  I knew where this was headed for, and I had to do something before it was too late. "Trish -"

  "Wh-what's wrong?" She gave a worried look.

  "Nothing." I threw my face away as she ran her fingers lightly on it.

  "It can't be nothing, you know? I know you quite well." She leaned closer.

  "Trust me, Trish. We can't do this right now." I spoke softly, trying not to sound harsh.

   "B-but why? Don't you want me...?"

  "You don't understand, Tricia!" I snapped in an angry tone, as she gasped.

  "Did you just yell at me?"

  "I'm sorry," I said regretfully, making to touch her.

  "No! No, it's fine. I perfectly understand." She gritted, pulling away. "You don't want me, and I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. This was a mistake." She sighed and picked up her bag.

  "Trish, please..."

  "Don't, Philip!" She hushed and pulled the door open roughly. "You can have fun eating your silly tunas. What an asshole you are!" She cursed, and walked out the door.

  I made to go after her, but stopped knowing there was nothing I could say to make her come back. Why do I always say the wrong thing? I turned and made back inside, having no mood to do anything.

  TRICIA'S P.O.V

  My day with Philip was perfectly going well, until he turned out to be such a worm! What is it that Daphne has that I don't?! Does he still love her? Why can't I just have him all to myself... without anyone getting in my way?! I sobbed breathlessly.

  "Trish?" A soft masculine voice brought me to a stop. "Tricia, are you okay? Why are you crying?"

  "Go away, please." I quickly wiped my tears and made to walk past him, as he held me back.

  "Come on, Trish. Please tell me what's wrong. Did someone hurt you?"

  "No one," I sniffed a little. "And... and I wasn't crying." I faked a smile, trying not to let my tears flow.

  "Did James hurt you? What did he do now?"

  My teeth clenched at his annoying questions, and my other side sprang up. "Derek, can you please mind your business? Why do you always have to bump into me all the time?"

  He was taken aback. "I was only trying to know how you were..."

  "Oh, please stop!" I silenced him, raising a hand to his face. "I don't want you getting in my business, you hear me?! Now, if you'd excuse me, I'd best be on my way."

  "But no one's blocking you, is there?" He joked, making me sound funny.

  "Whatever!" I hissed and brushed him aside.

  DEREK'S P.O.V

  Man! Why does she have to be so rude? I shrugged, making toward my hostel.

  Few minutes on Maine lane, I sighted my pal and his girl talking not so far off from where I stood.

  I hurried towards them, happily calling out to Xan as he looked in my direction and waved.

  "Yo, man! What's kicking'?" He spoke in his usual friendly tone as I drew near.

  "Oh, you know what!"

  We laughed and hugged each other.

  "Hey, Rek." His girlfriend, Minaj, greeted.

  "Girl! It's good to see you." I said, and hugged her.

  "Hey, hey, bruh. You ain't stealing my girl from me, are ya?" Xan teased.

  "Nada, man! You know we' bros!"

  We chop knuckled.

  "So, bruh, you know that girl you were talking with?" Xander asked, as a confused expression hovered on my face.

  "Mm? What about her?"

  "You know, the brunette beauty you were talking with," He further described.

  "Yeah? You talking about Tricia?"

  "Yes. That one." He pulled Minaj to his front.

  "Ah. You know her?"

  "Know her?! Dude, you've got no idea."

  Hmm, I gave a slight thought about it and wiggled my nose. "Well, let's not talk about her. Man! You looking good." I made to changed the subject, sticking my hands into my pants pocket.

  "Where's Márcia? She's not with you?" Xander's girlfriend asked.

  "Márcia? Oh, um, she's fine." I quickly averted my gaze.

  Márcia was my rich Brazilian girlfriend. Well, was, since we broke up not quite long. I haven't told them yet about it, and certainly didn't want them knowing. Our relationship was a complicated one, owning to the fact that she and I were different. Not like I'm pained.

  "You know, babe," Minaj looked up at Xander. "I think we should go on a double date sometime. What do you think?"

  "Well, I don't see why." He laughed and kissed her forehead. "How about you, D. You bringing Márcie with you?"

  I forced a smile and replied with a nod, "S-sure. I'm bet she'll love it." I said, and added a mutter, "That's if she hears."

AT MARIONETTE

  I sat thinking of how I had messed up things; burying my head in my palms, I cried into it, knowing I'd lost my only chance. I should have taken things slowly, I thought. I never should have done that. I went on, soaking my palms with my salty tears. I shouldn't be crying! He should be the one feeling sorry for making me feel bad. Some guy he is taking me off with those five minutes-old tunas and his fancy charms.

  The door jerked open and Karen's voice came, followed by another. But, the other voice didn't belong to Joan.

  "Oh, honey," She started. "You should have seen that guy's face,"

  Their laughter echoed in the room, infecting the once noiseless place.

  "Oh, if it isn't Miss. Little Rudy pants," Karen's voice hovered, as she walked towards me.

  "What do you want?" I asked testily and eyed her.

  "Nothing -" She shrugged and chuckled in a mocking way.

  "Oh, dear. You must be Tricia," The white girl in a classy tank top, and a short skirt carved around a black net hose, said, her hand placed on Karen's waist. "Karen here has told me all about you."

  I fixed my gaze on her. "Good things, I hope?"

  "Ne-errrr," She moved her hand. "Baby, what' we going to do this Saturday?" She turned

  "The usual partying... I guess?" Karen's forehead wrinkled.

  "Ah-aah! So right." She snapped her fingers. "You coming, B?" She asked, rolling her eyes at me.

  "Oh, please tell me she isn't," Karen broke in, squeezing her face. "We can't possibly invite her to something we know she wouldn't partake in. Right, Parker?!" She threw a snarl at me, and I smirked.

  I knew my presence there will annoy her even more, so I knew exactly what to say. "What time is it?"

  "What?!" She shouted.

  "Oh, come on, Karry Woozy. She won't cause any harm." Her acquaintance said, and whispered into her ears.

  "Fine! You can come." She said to me, and turned to her girlfriend.  "But know she's your responsibility!" She groaned and started towards her bed.

  "Wait. You haven't told me your name,"

  "I haven't?" She puckered her gloss lips to the side. "Well, I'm gonna tell you at the party. Nine o'clock. Milton's! Don't be late!"

  I nodded and watched her leave to Karen's side. I gave a sigh and thought about the reply I had given, as I contemplated on whether to go or not.

  Guess it wouldn't hurt, I shrugged and got up. Making a stretch, I made for the door, pulling it open, and stepped out for a slight walk down the hall.

  After some minutes of pacing, I walked back to my room, as soft moans and girly laughter came on the inside. I leaned closer, groaning at the realization of what was going on, and sat down on the floor. "Guess I have to stay here then." I sighed, having no desire to interrupt.

  "Hey. What're you doing here?" Someone asked as I raised my head up.

  "Daphne?" I blinked.

  "Your Joan's roommate, aren't you?" She asked, and I nodded, bringing my legs up. "Can I?" She motioned to my side, and I nodded in affirmation.

  I had no idea why I couldn't make any utterance, but I felt the tingling feeling in my head, saying I shouldn't say anything that'd add to the situation that I was in.

  "Is Karen in?" She inquired, and still no answer came; only signals.

  "Ah, I forgot that lesbian Roomie of yours is another thing entirely." She laughed.

  "You know?" My eyes shone.

  "Who doesn't?!" She replied with a raised brow. "Everyone on campus does." She said.

  "Well, I'm not surprised." I said with a shrug, and we both laughed.

  It turned out she wasn't so bad after all, as we exchanged numbers and bid each other goodbye.

Okay, just before I go off totally, I'd like to say something. I broke a few rules when I was writing "MISTRESS". (Gasps ) I know, right? That's why you must have found some words that were not really in the dictionary - words like 'orgasmd' and a few others. But not to worry. In the next story that'll be coming up right after this, I'll abide by the rules. And, also make it pretty detailed and exhilarating. I know y'all can't wait. Yeah, me, either .

Ciara9251:


I like your question Well, it's not a repeat. It's a rewrite. I wrote "My Campus Life" when I was still grooming myself in the writing world, and, now I feel I'm getting good at it, I went further into deleting countless scenes. Stressful, but worth it. And, cause it's super-dee-duper helping And oh, feel free to check out my stories. I'd really appreciate that. And those that are yet to read most of 'em, you can find them here, too. Thank you

Alright, cool
Please feel free to mention/tag me when posting new ones

Nice storyline! Ciara9251 Keep it up!

Sure thing, dear

EPISODE TWELVE

I come home in the morning light
My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun...

  "You like?"

  "Like? I love it!"

  Karen and the girl who was yet to tell me her name, pecked each other.

  "Aww, Tricia. I'm really glad you made it," She said, and broke the hug.

  She made to hug me, and with a kiss on my cheek, whispered into my ears, "I'm certain we're gonna have loads of fun together."

  I smiled as she let go, pulling Karen with her, as they disappeared into a corner. Ugh. They actually left me! I grumbled, folding my arms.

I made towards the counter and sat on the chair, placing my order. "Two tequilas, please."

The bartender looked at me. "Too young for tequila, don't you think?"

  "Why? You' gonna handcuff me and send me off to the cops?" I shrugged my shoulders at him as he laughed.

  "Well, worse." He said, pushing the tiny glasses to me. "What's your name, cutie?"

"Why do you wanna know?"

  "Just asking. You're so beautiful, you know?"

  I gulped down the liquors and looked at him. "And what do you want me to say? Thank you?" I rolled my eyes at him, pushing the glass back to him.

  I took out a dollar bill from my purse, and, with a thorough scan of the packed club, caught no sight of Karen anywhere. I wonder where they ran off to, I got up, giving my eyes one more roll.

  I stepped on the dance floor, hearing the music grow louder, as I began moving in the rhythm. I grabbed hold of a light-haired bloke, and he and I started dancing.

  We went on for almost an hour, and stopped, looking around for Karen and her girlfriend. I glimpsed them at the far side, lost in the embrace of a bearded man in a cowboy's hat. Never knew they were bi's. I let go of the blond and started towards them.

  "There you are," Karen said to me, pulling away from the husky man.

  "Who is she?" He spoke, giving a lustful stare at me.

  "A friend," came Karen's reply, with her legs positioned on his laps.

  "Um, Tricia," Her friend called, reminding me of her presence. "There's something I want you to see." She beckoned to me to follow her, and I did, throwing a grin at Karen.

  I got to the place where I had seen her follow, and I scanned the area, thinking of where she had gone into.

A hand pulled me swiftly to the side, and a startled gasp eluded my lips. "What the...?!"

  "Shh!" She quickly placed a finger on my lips, before I could complete the words.

  On removing it, she glued her lips on mine without wasting time, and began kissing me, roughly sticking her tongue into the comfort of my mouth.

  Wait! What are you...? I felt the urge to pull away, but moaned into her mouth instead, letting her finger tips work themselves on my spine.

They slid down my back, the smoothness of her hands felt on my round, as I moaned louder, feeling the wetness in-between my legs.
 
  I was strictly straight, yes. But who knew kissing a girl could be so amazing.

Nice storyline!

Keep it up!

Thank you, Sir

EPISODE THIRTEEN

  Her lips tasted like strawberries and it took me off balance. She  cupped my boobs and sexily made to release them from their cups, as she leaned closer, making a hickey on my neck.

  "Want to know my name now?" She sucked my bottom lip and pulled away, making me shudder at the lost of contact.

  I nodded breathlessly and she said, "I'm Lilian," I felt her finger tips grace my lower lip, as she withdrew them and tasted them one by one.

  LILIAN'S P.O.V

  She was just so beautiful, and I certainly couldn't keep my paws off her. She had smooth, perfect skin; two gorgeous round eyes and the perfect shape I longed to have all to myself. Her breath was magnificent, and the way she let me into her, without any refusal, got me all wet underneath, making my juices flow even more.

  I sucked on the upper side of her left breast, and made to suck on the second, as I slid my hand under her dress.

  "I'm sorry. I-I can't -" She pulled away from me, and my eyes widened.

  "What's wrong? You've never been bleeped by a girl?"

  She twisted her lips. "One... yes. And, also cause I'm totally not into you. Na-ah!" She wiggled her fingers as I gaped at her.

  "You can't be serious now..."

  "I am!" She shot me an angry stare. "Look, Lilian or whatever you are, I know we had fun and all, but this... this just isn't my thing." She said, and walked out on me.

  I stormed off angrily, bothering not to look for Karen, as I boarded a cab back to Marionette.

  On reaching there, I realized Karen will be coming back anytime soon, and knowing she won't waste time reigning her bitchy attitude on me for humiliating her girlfriend, I mean, seriously, what was I thinking letting her kiss me? Grr! I better go use a mouth wash! I groaned, stealing a glance at my watch.

  I remembered Philip, and I wasted no time getting my phone out - brushing my pride aside as I gave his number a dial.

  "Hello?" His weary voice came in.

  "Phil... Phil, are you around?" I found myself asking, forgetting all about the disagreement we had.

  "Trish?" His voice jerked to life. "Trish, what happened?" I could hear his panic-stricken voice.

  "Did I wake you up? Where are you?" I asked simultaneously, looking around.

  "Of course. Y-yes. Why? Is something wrong?" He asked, as I relaxed my voice.

  "Nothing is. I just... I just want to see you right now."

  "Trish, it's almost midnight. What's going on?"

  "Nothing. I just... um, wanna spend the night at your place." I said and began explaining. "It's hard to explain,but something came up, and, I... I don't know... just please let me -" I stopped halfway, hoping he wouldn't say no.

  "Well, um... well, sure! You can home." He agreed, and I felt a butterfly feeling in my tum.

  "You' almost here?"

  I nodded and answered, "Yes... yes, just keep ten minutes. I'll be there soon." I ended the call swiftly and boarded a taxi to Maine lane.

  We got there in not less than fifteen minutes, as I got out and paid the driver, not caring about the petty change.

  I rushed to Philip's door, giving a loud, but not so loud knock on it, as it came open. "Philip!" I spoke breathlessly, rushing into his arms. "Philip, I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry! I never should have yelled at you in that manner. I really shouldn't have." I went on, feeling really bad.

  "Trish... Trish..."

  "Oh, Phil. Please forgive me. Don't stop being friends with me." I continued, ignoring his call. "Please don't stop. I don't know what I'd do if I lose you,"

  "Trish, stop," His voice softened. "You know there's no way I'd stop being friends with you. What will make me do that?"

  "Really? You still want to be friends with me?"

  "Of course. I'll never leave your side," He drew closer, wrapping his arms around me this time.

  I was happy at least, and was really glad that I still had a chance of being with him.

  It was just the two of us as his roommate wasn't around - making it pretty uncomfortable for the both of us.

  "Will you be okay there?"

  I adjusted the pillow and turned to face him. "Yeah, why?"

  "Don't know exactly, but it looks like it's about to rain," He averted his gaze from me and fixed it on the window.

  He laid back down, and with his hands placed behind his head, stared at the ceiling boards.

  I could see his muscles from where I laid, and I swallowed and stared, not taking my eyes off.

  "You're not scared of thunder, are you?"

  A blush coated my cheeks at the sound of his. "What if I was?"

  His eyes glistened as he stole a glance. "You don't look like someone who is."

  I smiled, burying my face in the fragrance-filled pillow, inhaling its scent like a child who still licks an ice cream off its cone.

   I lifted my head up as lightning struck and thunder clapped, making me jump in fright.

  "I thought you weren't scared?"

  "I wasn't," I pretended not to me scared and eyed him.

  "Ah. I can come stay with you, if you want." He offered with a grin, and I shook my head in refusal.

  Not like I didn't want it, I just didn't want us to get into a fight again. Not after the one we've had. Part of me really wished for him to stay with me, but I just couldn't let that part win, knowing I won't be able to stop myself from kissing him.

   I was still scared of the noise that was going on outside, and I so wished for it to stop. Ever since I was little, it's always been that way. I'd always have my Mum sleep by my side, until the rain stopped. I couldn't say why I feared the rain so much, but I just couldn't let my fears to be known -

  "Good night, Trish,"

  "You're sleeping already?"

  "Yep. It's few hours to morning and I've got loads of work to do." He covered himself properly with the sheet.

  "But I can't sleep. Can you please keep me company? Just for a while -" I pouted and looked at him with kitty eyes.

  "Awe. How can I refuse that?" He laughed softly. "Oh, by the way, what happened that you decided to spend the night here?"

  "Hmm. You don't like that I'm here?"

  "No. You know that's not what I mean," He said, sitting up.

  I thought of an answer to give, having had no plans of lying, and had no other option than to tell him everything, sparing the details of Lilian and me making out, out!

  "So you're saying you attended a sorority party?" His lips curved to the side, and I gave a nod, not uttering a word.

  Gosh, what am I saying? What have I done? What is happening to me?

  "Wow! Look at this. The rain's stopped." Phil announced. "Think you can sleep now?" He asked, giving me a concerned look.

  "Mm-hmm" I managed to say and relaxed my head on my palm.

  I bid him good night and turned off the lamp, hoping my conscience won't stop me from having a good night sleep.

PHILIP'S P.O.V

  I couldn't catch some sleep, not with Tricia sleeping next to me. I sat up slowly, looking to where she slept soundly and gave a smile at the pretty sight.

  I got up to my feet and slipped on my footwear - making towards her, I drew closer, looking down at her, my hand placed lightly on her cheek as I caressed it, trying to be as quiet as possible.

  I heard a soft moan being let out, and I withdrew my hand, hoping she hadn't notice anything.

  I waited for her to open her eyes as they remained shut, a sigh eluding my lips.

  I went on my knees, not minding the cold floor as I took her hand in mine, caring less on how she'd react if her eyes flung open at that moment.

  I kissed it lightly, throwing a glance at her as I breathed and thought; Oh, Tricia. Why are you making this so hard for me? I don't know where to start; I don't know what to do. It feels as though I'm living in a world where I am completely lost; a world where I can't fully express myself. My grams is sick... I have no money. Everything about me is complicated, and is making me really crazy. I just can't let you be a part of this life... a part of me. You deserve better. I'm sorry I can't give you what you want. It hurts knowing there's no way I'll ever be a part of you. Even though I wish for that. I just hope you can understand why I am doing this. I love you very much...

EPISODE FOURTEEN

I yawned tiredly, rolling to the side as my hands touched something - or someone! I got up swiftly.




  "Mm, look who's up,"




  "Philip!" My sleepy eyes stood active. Philp, what are you...?"




  "Rise and shine, sleepy head! Breakfast is ready." He announced and added with a grin, "Thought you might be hungry." 




  I pulled the mattress down to my legs and looked down at my bosom, realizing I still had his oversized shirt on. "God, my head."




  "Does it hurt?" He asked, placing the tray on my legs. "Let me see."




  "It's only a headache, you know? I'm not dying." I smiled as he went on examining me.




  I loved his kind gestures towards me; the way he cared and didn't mind if I was a bother in any way.




  Last night when he asked me to put on his shirt having a pineapple design on it, I had thought he was joking,not until he insisted that I put it on, since there was no way I could sleep with a party dress on. 




  We talked in the process as I ate the slices of bread laced with jam, and the cup of cocoa he had served me with.




  I had breakfast with him and we talked. I wondered why he didn't want to eat alongside, and I asked him, "Why don't you want to eat?" 




  He moistened his lips and answered. "I'm not yet hungry."




  I frowned and shrugged the feelings off. "Well, if you say so."




  I arched forward, getting a hold of the teacup as my hair came lose. "Oh, not again!" 




  "Here. Let me." He said, and took the ribbon from me.




  He pulled behind me a little, taking my hair in his hand, as he got it all fixed up.




  "Had a little sister once,"He said, and I looked at him.




   "Had?"




  "Yep! She had pretty brown hair like yours," He went on.




  "W-well what happened?"




   "Well, months after my parents died in that car crash, and my brother, Lionel, was no where to be found - my little sister, Rachael grew ill of pneumonia, and after few days of battling with it, died." He narrated, the sadness in his voice clearly made out.




  I couldn't believe his parents weren't the only people he had lost. Poor guy, tears dropped from my eyes as I listened, and I quickly wiped them off. "I'm so sorry, Philip. I can't believe you went through all that."




  "Heh. My life's really complicated," He chuckled and got up. "You should rest a little before you go shower. You know, cause of gas." 




  Not being able to say a word or anything, not after all that I'd heard, I just gave a nod as I watched him leave.




  My conscience pricked, knowing I was keeping something from him - something only I knew. I felt really sorry knowing how wrong it was doing so. And, also how bad it was keeping him in the dark. I have to make things right. I really have to.




DEREK'S P.O.V




  "What have I done? How am I going to tell my friends that Márcia and I broke up?" I talked to myself, having no idea when my roommate walked in.




  "Dude, what's for lunch?"




  I chuckled and shook my head. "You' asking me?"




  "Come on, bruh. Man's down." He walked sluggishly to the cupboard.




  I scoffed and ignored him, taking out a cosmopolitan magazine from the drawer beside, putting on my headset.




  He took out a cereal pack and showed it to me, uttering something I didn't quite figure out. Man, what' you saying? I can't hear you from here." I groaned and took off my head set. 




  "Maybe, you shouldn't wear that." He said.




  "I've got no time for your jokes. I'm busy now."




  "Yeah, busy staring at my ass," He slapped his right butt cheek and laughed.




  "You're crazy, you know that?"




  "Not now I'm knowing," He shook his head and focused his eyes on the cereal. "Want some?"




  I shrugged. "Nah. I'm good." 




  I fixed my eyes back on the magazine, my mind totally not on it as Tricia ran in it. Wait a minute. What if I could bring Tricia instead? 




  My face grew pale, remembering how terribly she hates me. But I could try my luck. Yes! That's what I'd do. I smiled in delight and eased my mind at the thought.




  Later in the day, I went to pay her a visit at Marionette - not like she was aware.




I waited for her at the place I had seen her humming, and I hoped and prayed for her to come.




  After an hour of waiting, I saw her walking towards the bench I was seated on, and then I knew she had sighted me from afar.




  "Derek, now what do you think you're doing here?" She questioned harshly, rolling her eyes at me.




  I breathed and thought of an answer to give, as she said, "I mean, what brings you here?" The anger in voice disappeared.




  Is she really being nice to me? I looked in astonishment, trying to make sure I wasn't talking to someone else. "Are you okay, Trish?" 




  She smiled and placed her right hand at an angle. "Well, why wouldn't I be?"




  I swallowed hard, thinking of what to say.




  "Well, why are you here?" She made funny movements with her eyelashes.




  "Well, um," I made to talk, placing my hand on the bench. "Sit, please -" I motioned to my side, and she sat.




  I was actually liking this side of her - the side that actually portrayed her meekness. 




  I cleared my throat and began talking. "So, Trish. There's something I need to ask you -" I examined the look on her face for a second. Finding not a hint of anger, I continued. "Something I know you wouldn't agree to,"




  "Why did you bring it up, then?" She sprang up to her feet.




  "Just listen!" I rolled my eyes at her, and she breathed and sat back down.




  "What do you want?"




  "I just..."




  "Yes?"




  "Um... I was only thinking if you could..."




  "Tricia!!" An angry black girl made towards. "How dare you try to kiss my girlfriend?!" She spat furiously.




   Tricia got up instantly. "Karen? Karen, when did you get back?"




  "It doesn't matter." She snapped at her. "Now tell me why you tried to make out with Lilian when clearly you turned me down?"




  I stood stunned by the scene. What is she talking about? How could Tricia have done that when she's not even gay?




  "Karen, I can explain," Tricia looked at me and back at her. "I never tried to kiss anyone, Karen. Lilian was the one that came at me and..."




  "You big lying brat!" She landed a slap on Tricia's face before she could finish her sentence 




  "Hey, hey! Just who do you think you are?" I pulled Tricia behind me, boiling hard.




  "Derek..."




  "No, Tricia! I won't allow this!"




  "You won't? Well, why don't you ask your good-for-nothing girlfriend what she did?!" She gritted and said to Trish, "You should count yourself lucky that your boyfriend was here to defend you. Bitch!"




  I turned to Tricia the minute she left and I could tell how shaken she looked. "Is what she said really true?"




  "Derek, please don't make things worse." She sighed and threw her face away.




  "Then your answer says it all!"




  "Derek, please!" Her lashes shot up. "And what was that about you defending me back there?" 




  "Huh?"




  "Yes! You shouldn't have done that. I mean, why can't you just leave me alone?!




  "Well, that's the problem, Tricia. I can't!"




  "And why is that?"




  "Because I love you!"

EPISODE FIFTEEN

I stared with eager eyes as her jaw dropped open.

  "Wait, what?! What do you mean by that?" Her questions came.

  "I said I love you," I repeated, hoping for a better answer.

  "Derek, why are you making it so hard for me?"

  I frowned at the question. "How am I making it so hard for you?"

  "You just don't understand!"

  "Then make me," I took her hand in mine and pleaded. "Please, Tricia. Just make me understand."

  "J-just stop! Stop, okay? I've got far more important things to worry about than this." She took her hand from me and turned to leave.

  "Tricia, wait."

  "What you're saying now is just too much to hold. Derek, I just can't. I'm sorry."

  I clasped her hand and drew closer. "Trish, please hear me out..."

  "Leave me alone!" Her face turned red with rage. "Is that why you came here? To tell me about your stupid feelings for me?!"

  "Stupid?" I gasped as my heart came throbbing.

  "Yes, Derek. Stupid! I don't love you, and there's no way I'll ever love someone like you. You just have to forget about me and move on!"

  Move on? I gulped in pain, watching as she walked away, not looking back.



  TRICIA'S P.O.V

  Derek, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean everything I said. I really didn't mean any of it. I just can't let you be dragged into this. My life's a bit messy now, and you coming in would make it a lot worse. I hope you can forgive me. I really hope you can.



   That night, Derek drank himself to stupor while Tricia, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on.

She had sighted him that night - in a bar where she and Chelsea had gone out for girls' night.

  She excused herself and hurried towards him - staring with pity eyes, she said, "Derek, why are you doing this? Why do you have to put yourself through all this just because of me? Why?!

  He raised his head up and asked drunkenly, "Who are you?"

  "-Derek. Derek, it's me... Tricia. You have to stop. You really have to." Tricia said amidst tears, clasping his arm

  "What do you want?" The barkeeper asked.

Tricia ignored his question and threw an angry stare at Derek. "Derek, that's enough! You've had enough drink for one night." She took the bottle of whiskey from him.

  "What's going on?" A familiar voice spoke behind. "Is everything all right?

Tricia looked at her and shoved her bag into her arms. "Here, Chels. Hold this."

  "Oh, give me that. I want more." The strong stench of liquor filled the air at his voice, as a blonde, brown-eyed lad interrupted. "I'll take it from here, you two."

  "And who are you supposed to be?" Tricia looked at him, as he laughed.

"I'm Oliver,"

  "Just Oliver?" Tricia folded her arms. "Got no last name?"

  "Oh, forgive me. I'm Oliver Jackson," He introduced fully. " Derek's roommate." He added.

Tricia unclasped her arms and said to him. "Well, Oliver. We should help Derek out of here. You can call the cab while we bring him along." She pulled Derek up.

  "You don't need to worry. He's my responsibility."

"And why is that?"

"Cause he's with me." He said to her.

  "So you're the one that brought Derek to this place? What were you thinking?!" Her face reddened, and Chelsea cut in.

  "Um, you two. I think we'd better hurry. It's getting late." She fixed her eyes on her watch.

  "Chels, you should go. We can take care of the rest." Tricia said to her.

  "But, Trish, there's no how I can leave you here..."

  "I'll be fine." Tricia assured.

  "You promise?"

  "I do. Just go, all right? Oliver and I can take care of it."

Her best friend relaxed at the words and gave her a hug - exiting the bar as she took a cab back to campus.



TRICIA'S P.O.V

  Derek's room was such a sight. Even in the dark, you could still make out the posters that hanged on both sides of the wall, and the tons of shirt scattered on the bed - with hundreds of things I couldn't quite tell, piled up on the floor. "What happened here?" I turned to Oliver as the light came on. "Oh, crap!" I rolled my eyes around the room.

  "Why don't you ask your boyfriend what happened? He came back here, looking all furious and all. And before I could know it, he sent everything crashing through the ground. " He explained. "Didn't know why, really."

Oh, this is all my fault, I thought, feeling my heart race.

  I wanted to tell Oliver that Derek and me weren't together, but found myself saying nothing.

  "Okay!" He clapped his hand. "Is there anything you wish to have? Water, perhaps?" He asked.

  "No, thank you." I shook my head and made towards the bed.

  "All right, then. Guess I'll see you two later." He said, and made to leave.

"Hang on a second. Did you two, I don't know... quarrel?"

  I smiled faintly and gave a 'no', feeling the dryness in my throat.

  Was he actually leaving? I gulped, finding it so hard to accept the fact that I was spending the night at Derek's.

  I heard the door slam shut, and I breathed a sigh. "Guess he actually did." I thought aloud, looking to where Derek slept soundly.

  He uttered a moan as his eyelids slid open slowly, and shut again, relieving me a bit.

  I sat beside him, admiring the smooth curvature of his face, and felt the urge to brush a strand of hair that popped out in front aside - finally giving in to it.

  I saw myself getting carried away doing so, as I hummed, forgetting all about my anger towards him.

  His face twitched and his hand moved, and I got up instantly, hoping he hadn't heard me.

  He muttered something I couldn't quite catch, and I pulled closer, making out some of the words.

  "Márcia... Márcia, please don't leave me. Márc..."

I shuddered and took my hand away. Márcia? Who-who is Márcia? I asked myself and got up, making towards the bathroom.

  I had no idea what to do next, and I had no other option but to take a piece of cloth that laid by the corner, and a white bowl on the sink, as I filled the latter and made back to the room.



DEREK'S P.O.V

  I woke up feeling really tired, and I got up slowly, feeling my head ache badly.

  I looked to my side, noticing the presence of someone, as I made to touch her.

"You're awake," She said sleepily with her raised slightly as she squinted in the light.

  "Tri-Tricia?" I gaped at her, having no idea if it was real. "What are you doing here?"

  "How do you feel? Do you want me to make breakfast for you?"

  "Yes. I mean, how are you here? Where's Oliver?"

  "Oh, your roommate?" She yawned and laughed.  "He's not yet back." She answered and yawned again. "Just wait here. Let me just... get you something. I know you're famished."

  "Tell me what happened, Tricia. Did you stay here all night?"

  "You don't remember?"

  "Remember what?" I winced and thought, remembering going out with Oliver. "I do. I just can't recall exactly -"

  "Hmm. Well, I'll go prepare breakfast." She said, and made for the cupboard like she had actually been here before.

I tried recalling what had went on last night as memories of the previous day came crawling back. I remembered how worse her words made me feel, and how badly I wanted to drink just so I could forget.

I looked around, realizing everywhere was all cleaned up, and I marveled at how she could have possibly done that alone. Is she really changing? What's her reason for this?



Well, what do you know? Tricia might be really changing.

EPISODE SIXTEEN

  I laid the pancakes and Maple syrup out on a tray and walked back to Derek.

  I handed it out to him and sat down, trying not to make eye contact with him.

  I noticed his countenance - one vague and completely hard to understand, and I asked him what the problem was. "Is everything okay? Are the pancakes not good enough?"

  "It's not the pancakes, Trish," He said, and stopped eating. "I was only wondering what made you change your mind."

  "Change my mind?" I rubbed my legs and got up. "If you don't like that I'm here, I can just leave."

  "You know that isn't what I was trying to say," He stopped me, and I stood, uttering nothing. "Aren't you going to say anything?"

  I sighed and sat back down. "Okay. I know what I said to you back there was not really nice. And I just want to say I'm sorry." I apologized, not sure if I sounded pretty convincing.

  He smiled and thanked me, his hand rubbing mine.

  "What's the 'thanks' for?" I asked, confused.

  "Well, let's just say it's for helping me out."

  I smiled shyly and nodded in acceptance of his gratitude.

  I realized that I haven't quite asked him about the girl he had mentioned whilst sleeping, and I stopped, thinking of how he'd react if I went asking.

  "So... we're friends now?" His eyebrows arched slightly, and I smiled.

  "Yes, we are."


  Later in the day, James called me, saying he'd like us to spend the day at a certain place - a hotel like he had sounded.

  He texted me the address, and all I could think of was how to tell him that I wanted to end our illicit affair and move on.

  I didn't want anyone getting hurt. Certainly not Derek or Philip. So I knew I had to make things right, and was ready for whatever thing that came after that.


  I arrived at the place, with the neon sign placed in front of it reading - Havana Hotel.

  Rolling my eyes at it, I wondered why James had wanted me to come here instead of his place.

  I shrugged the weird feelings off and walked inside. Making towards the counter, I asked the receptionist where room 404 was, and she picked up the telephone, signaling to me to wait. I wondered why she couldn't just tell me where it was, and I waited for her to finish with the receiver - who I presumed was none other than James.

  She dropped the telephone back and directed me on how to locate it.

  I glanced at my watch, seeing the time clock half past seven, as I hurried towards the elevator, hoping James wouldn't keep me waiting.

  I pressed the button on the elevator as it slid open, granting me passage. I got in hurriedly and it shut back again, moving up swiftly as it came upon the tenth floor.

  I got out quickly, rolling my eyes in search of the door with a 404 marked on it, as I finally located it. "There you are," I muttered and ran my knuckle on the door as it pulled open.

  "Why, it's about time!"

  I ignored his grin and walked inside, not wearing a smile. "Why did you choose this place again?"

  He ignored my question and shut the door, moving behind me with his hands placed on my shoulders.

  "Do you always have to think about sex?" I made to take his hands off me as he ran his tongue on my right lobe.

  "My, you taste really sweet." He moaned softly and moved his hands down my palms.

  I felt irritated by his Hot movement and gently pulled away. "Can we not do this, please?"

  "Ooh, looks like someone's not in the mood this eve."

  "Clearly," I shrugged and looked with a neutral expression. "We need to talk."

  "Oh, that can wait. My Hot clock's quite full." He made towards me and grabbed a hold of my arms, pulling me swiftly into his.

  "James..."

  "Come on, baby. What's the matter? Don't you want to catch some fun? Hmm? Don't you wanna feel my tongue running in and out of your kitty cat? Rolling and pulling -" He talked dirty, making my legs tremble.

  God, what is this? Why do I have to be stuck in this awful situation? I shut my eyes and thought of whether to give in or not.

  The whole of me wanted to feel him again; to be in his arms and to have him all to myself - owning to the fact that we haven't been together for days. How am I supposed to tell him that I didn't want to have anything to do with him again?

  "So what do you say, huh? I know you want this more than anything." He spoke in a softened tone, moving his hands under my candy top.

  I had totally forgotten about the question I had thrown at him. And, also what made me come here. I stood lost, having no desire of pulling away, as I turned, making to face him.

  "Do it!" I instructed hastily and tightened my arms around his neck.

  He aided in taking my clothes off, leaving me only in my bra and scissors skirt, as I stood lost in his arms.

  I was slowly giving in, that I knew. But I felt sorry for not being able to save myself from the devil's grip.

  I didn't know how this was going to end, but all I wished for, was to feel those loving arms around me - those loving arms of James.

  I felt anxious fingers move behind me, and my bra came off almost immediately, as my whole front stood fully, revealing my hardened nipples which was already pink and swollen.

  The cold air blew swiftly, and I could feel the tingling sensation on them as James chest grazed them, turning me really on.

  I couldn't wait any more as I pulled James head down, bringing his mouth closer to my throbbing pinkies, as he wasted no time taking the right one into his mouth; pressing the other as he went on, making me moan in his arms.

  I threw my head backwards, feeling the warmness of his lips around my nipples, as he took turns working them out.

  He peered into my eyes and said, "I'm only beginning."

  I was ready for anything, and I moaned again, bringing his partly swollen lips down on mine as we began kissing breathlessly.

  He lifted me up in his arms, moving his hands under my skirt, perfectly relaxing them on my soft backside, as he gave a naughty grin. "You really did prepare for this, didn't you?"

  "Oh, shush. Just keep moving" I glued my lips on his, feeling my back touch the bed.

  I could see a condom laid out properly on the bed, and I watched him grab it, still not taking his eyes off me pointed tits.

  I was running out of time, and I knew there was no way my aching clit could hold it no more as it yearned to be touched.

  I pulled myself up, pulling James down on me, as he made to suck my tits.

  He ran his teeth on the right, then on the left, slowly sliding his finger down my belly, as he brought them right on my pant, running it lightly at the entrance.

  I knew what was coming, and I shut my eyes, trying to enjoy the moment as I felt his finger slide totally into me, swiftly locating my lips, as he parted them and placed his middle finger into its comfort, as his thumb worked my swollen clit.

  I felt my pants come off completely, and before I knew it, hungry lips came on me, making me really hot.

  I was panting heavily, having his tongue dance in and out of me, as my juices came spurting right into his mouth - as he licked the whole up.

  James was one sex beast, and if you could let him, he'd go on for hours, not taking a pause.

  I watched as he slipped the sheath on. And, before I could say Jack, his bulging head came driving into me, taking me off.

EPISODE SEVENTEEN

My eyelids twitched. The elegant body that lay between starchy sheets stirred imperceptibly. My mind, although trapped in thoughts, protested the white sheets as I didn't sleep all night - not with the crackly sheets making silly noises under my skin.

  Perplexed and disturbed, I tried to lift myself up, but remained still. I looked up at James and realized he was wide awake and had already lighted a cigarette, having no notice of ms. I saw myself staring, and I moved up a little, taking the cigarette from him.

  "Didn't know you smoke," He said with a surprised look as he slipped his fingers into the duvet, slowly making out my hard nipples.

  "I don't. Just wanted to clear my head a little." I said, felling my head.

  "Heh. Never knew cigarettes served that purpose."

  "Oh, don't make fun of me." I scoffed and handed the cigarette back to him. "God, I can't believe I've got class at noon." I muttered under my breath.

  "Class?" He repeated with his brows raised.

  "Yep! Class." I looked around, seeing my dress scattered on the floor.

  "Awe, come on. Can't you just stay here with me?"

  I looked at him and felt my angry side lit up."James, I've already spent the night with you - in a place that isn't yours. What else do you want?"

  "Okay, fine. The truth is, I miss having you around." He confessed, and I sat up.

  "Having me around?" Seriously?" I laughed and folded my arms.

  "Come on, babe. You know it's being two weeks since we last saw each other."

"Exactly, James. Two weeks! So you gotta stop complaining, cause I need to be back on campus before twelve." I made to get up, and he dragged me down.

  "Just one last kiss..."

  "James!" I gritted and stopped, hearing a sound at a distance. "Do you hear that?"

  "I hear it perfectly. It should be coming from..."

  "My bag!" I jerked out of his arms and hurried towards where I had dropped my bag last night. I unzipped it quickly and got my phone out, clearly seeing the name on it as my thumb nervously swiped the answer sign. "Hey... Mum." I tried to relax my voice and motioned to James to be quiet.

Making for the bathroom, I heard her casual voice ring.

  "Baby, how are you doing?"

  "Heh. Fine as usual, Mum..." I dragged my voice, circling the white tiles with my toes.

  "Oh, sweetheart. How delighted I am to hear that." She said in a happy tone and I swallowed.

  "Um, why did you call?"

  "Oh, silly. I just called to check up on you. Where are you, huh? Still in bed?"

  "Oh, yes! Yes, actually. But I've got lectures soon." My conscience pricked. Why does she have to call by this time?

  "Is everything okay there? Your voice sounds, I don't know, different?"

"No-no. No, I'm fine, ma. It's just the weather." I held my breath, wishing she'd just end the call. Mum, please!

  "Awe. Okay. Well, guess what, baby,"

  "Mum, you know I'm not good at guessing." I rubbed my forehead, feeling the sweat already gathered on it.

  "Okay. Your Dad's being elected the town's mayor!"

  "No way!"

  "I know, right? Everything's happening so fast, honey. Your father and I are so excited."

  "I know, right?" I set my hand at an angle. "You know that's good news, Mum. I gotta go. Got class. Love you." I hurriedly said, and her voice came in as my fingers slipped.

  Oops!

  I looked at myself in the mirror, not recognizing who stood at the opposite side. God, what is this? Why am I having a hard time not doing what is right? Just take a look at yourself, Tricia. What is it you're doing? James shouldn't be the one with you. Why do you let him make the rules while you follow behind? This isn't fair to you. And neither it is to Philip. Why do you keep on doing this?

  My fingers worked on the faucet as I stared blankly, having no idea when the door swung open.

  "You're taking really long in here,"

  "James!" I turned around, peering into glistening black eyes. "Why did you have to make such entrance?"

  "Oh, please. There's nothing I haven't seen." He said with a smirk, and my brows wrinkled into a frown.

  "Well, that doesn't mean you can come in anytime." I scoffed and walked past him.

  He followed me, giving my butt a squeeze as I gave a scowl.

"What?! I was only kidding, you know."

  "Then quit doing that. We've had enough, don't you think? Don't you ever get tired?"

  He laughed and made to wrap his arms around me as I moved backwards.

"James!"

  "You can call me again, baby."

I groaned and slapped his hands away.

"Come on, why are you being like this?"

  "I'm being like this cause I really need to go home and rest."

  "Thought you said you had class?" He reminded and my lashes shot up.

  "Yeah, true. And also quiz." I added swiftly.

  "Qui... what now?"

  "Yes. So I gotta bounce. Good thing I had nothing unturned." I said with a shrug and walked back to the bed.

  Keeping my bag in order, I kissed him lightly on the lips and started towards the bathroom - this time not letting anything get in my way.

HAVE A NICE DAY, PEOPLE .

EPISODE EIGHTEEN

  I walked into class, and the professor stopped talking as all eyes were on me.

  "You're late!"

  Only by five minutes, I said in my mind and stammered outside. "T-traffic, sir,"

  He gave me an 'Are you sure about that' look and ordered me to sit down.

  I sighted Chelsea at the far side but caught no sight of Phil. Where could he be? I rolled my eyes eagerly, hoping to find him somewhere.

  Not succeeding in making out where he was, I walked to Chelsea's side and sat down beside her.

  "What happened to you?" She asked in a low tone

  I placed my bag on my legs and answered. "Traffic. Where's Philip?"

  She bit her bottom lip, not giving an answer to my question, as Professor Jonas voice stopped me from further questioning.

  I went got back from school early, remembering I didn't ask Chelsea of Philip's whereabouts, as I wondered why he had skipped a class - on a quiz day. Must have been really important. I shrugged the feelings of him not being okay, off and picked up my diary.

☆


Dear Diary,

  I wish today went so well like I had planned and not had to be on a James's no-fun zone. I'm still yet to tell Philip about my affair with James, and really wish to do so, but has got no liver - owning to the fact that I'm scared of losing him. I can say I'm having a tough time not telling James, either. And I'm so afraid of what might happen if I came telling James that I wasn't interested anymore. Gosh, I feel so lost and confused. How I wish Mum was here.

  Mum! I lifted my head in excitement and looked to where my phone was on the drawer.

  I pulled out a little, stretching my hand from where I sat, and grabbed a hold of it without any time being wasted.

  I dialed Mum's number and in no time, her voice came crawling in.

  "Mum. Mum, I need you," I spoke in a tearful manner, clinging to my phone.

  "Baby? Baby, is everything all right?"

  "No, Mommy. Everything is not okay."

  "Not okay? Baby, what's the matter?" She asked, and I explained.

  "Mommy, I have no idea what is happening to me,"

  "Happening to you? Honey, tell me what happened? Is campus not treating you well?"

  "Mum, it's not that. I just don't understand myself anymore. I really need you here." I uttered, seeing my tears drop onto my legs.

  I really had no idea what I was saying. All I wished for was to be in my mother's arms at that moment.
 
  "Okay. Okay, baby. Just breathe. What's going to happen now? From Henson to Mitch Burg is almost a six-hours drive." She pointed out, having a hint of panic in her voice.

  "Mum, it's not about coming here. I've got relationship troubles." I saw myself saying without thinking. What did I just do?

  "Relationship troubles? Tricia, what will you father say when he gets to hear this?" Her softened tone grew into an angry one.

  "But, Mum. You're not going to tell him, are you?" I said, almost shaken with fear.

  "Of course not! What were you thinking, really?"

  "I'm sorry, Mommy," I pouted, looking down at my fingers.

  "But we talked about this, baby. Even before you left home..."

  "I know, Mommy. But that's not the situation -" I took a brief pause and listened for what she'd say.

  "Then what is?"

  "It's complicated, Mum," I thought of what next to say, trying not to mess up the words. "Well, the truth is, I don't even love him. He's got a whole lot of plans laid out for the both of us, but I just don't want to be a part of them."

  "Then you have to tell him." She struck a straight answer, and I frowned.

  "But, Mum..."

   "You don't love a guy and you agreed to be his girlfriend?"

  "Kinda." I said with a shrug, having second thoughts about going further.

  "Baby, I think you should just tell him the truth."

  "You think so?"

  "Yes! You should come clean and let out how you really feel instead of keeping him in the dark."

  'In the dark', my mind went to Philip. "In the dark!" I said aloud, bringing the phone directly to mouth. "Mum, I think I should do just that. Thank you, Mommy. I love you very much."

  "I love you most, my sweet." She said and added. "Now take good care of yourself. And don't let things like that work you up, okay?"

  "Okay, Mum. Love you!"

  I felt relaxed a bit, knowing half the weight have been lifted off my shoulders. I looked to the little rack by the side, and I caught sight of my earpiece and made to take them.

  Grabbing hold of it, I sat down and plugged the head into my phone - and the other mouths popping out from the under side into my ears, and sent the music playing at the highest volume.

  Music was one thing that gave me comfort. I listened to my favorite jazz and laid back down. Raising the pillow a bit, I relaxed my head and in a couple minutes, wandered off to dreamland.

  "James, stop! I can't do this anymore."

  "What do you mean by you can't do this? Are you giving up on me?"

  "Yes! That's exactly what I'm doing."

  "What?!"

  "Yes, James! I don't love you anymore."

  "Tricia, you kidding right?"

  "Does it look like I am? I don't love you, James. Philip's the one that I love!"

  "You fucking chose that guy over me?"

  "Yes! And I'll always choose Philip cause he's way better than you!"

  "You slut...!

  "James... James! James, let me go. James!!!" I jerked up, Sweating profusely. What's the meaning of this?

  "Tricia? Tricia, you in?"

  I heaved a sigh, realizing it was just a bad dream.

  I answered the caller at the door and made to open it.

  "Tricia, God! Thank goodness you're here." Daphne walked in, making for my bed.

  "Thank God I'm here?"

  "Yes. It's a fashion emergency. Oh, I'm doomed." She said playfully, acting like she was fainting. "Oh, damn! Why is your bed so wet? She asked, rolling her eyes on the water mark.

  "Was sleeping," I forced a smile and sat down beside her.

  She demanded that we go shopping together, since I had a list of things that I wanted to buy. I saw that as a great way to avoid working my mind on some things. So I agreed to it.

☆

  The semester was almost over and exams were fast approaching. I read all night, trying all possible best to avoid James, while on the course of doing so, got closer to Philip. Our friendship was blossoming really well and mine with Derek wasn't left out. Things were getting less complicated, and I was still yet to make things right... all because I had my fears.

  I was determined to meet up with James and discuss everything with him after the exams came to an end. I just wanted to lift this load I was carrying off me, so my mind would be at ease once and for all.


☆

 
  "Wait here," I rolled my eyes at the white building and looked back at Chelsea.

  "Wait, what?!"

"I said, 'Wait here.'"

"Dude, you're not saying that I should stay here... all by myself?"

  "Well, I know it'd be a bit lonely for you, but can you please trust me?"

  She pouted and said, "Oh, fine! Just be safe."

  "Be safe? Chels, you're sounding as if something's going to happen to me any minute." I folded my arms, remembering the horrible nightmare I had long ago. Oh, no. I can't do this. I breathed out, seeing James trying to strangle me.

It felt like I was seeing things - things that had happened in the dream.

  "Trish... Trish!"

  "Y-yes," I felt a lump in my throat as I answered.

"Man, you've been lost in there for quite sometime. Is something wrong?" She asked concernedly and I rubbed my cheeks.

"Chels, there's something I need to tell you." A pang of guilt flushed over me.

  "Something? H-hold on. Is that guy waving at us?"

  "That guy?" I turned around anxiously, seeing James make towards us. Not now!

  "Hi, baby,"

  "Baby?" Chelsea's surprised voice came.

  I felt sweaty, even though the weather was slightly hot. I couldn't believe James just called me that. Isn't he see someone with me? "Hey." I returned his greeting and put a hand between us.

  "Uh, aren't you going to hug me?"

  "I'm not here for that." I said, not smiling. "We need to talk... alone!" I signaled to Chelsea and she copied the signal..

  "Oh, um. I'll let you guys do your thing." She said and whispered to me.

  "You are so gonna tell me all about Mr. Hottie."

  Hottie... indeed! I thought sarcastically and James chuckled at the sound of the name.

  "So what's that you wanna tell me?" He asked the minute Chelsea left.

  "Well, when I said alone... I didn't say here. Especially not with all these people watching us. They might think something."

  "I see. Let's go in then." He leaned to take my hand and I clasped it with the other. "Let's just go."


☆

I was able to let out how I really felt about the two of us being together, and I could tell how angry he was by just looking at him.

"What do you mean we can't be together? Are you letting go after everything we've been through?"

  Oh, my God, it's happening. "J-James, it's not that. I just don't want to be stuck in this. I can't keep secrets from my parents, you know. Not anymore. Please understand."

  "Understand? Understand what?!" He thundered, clenching his fist.

"J-James," I made to touch him as he slapped my hands away.

"Is this because of your parents... or because of that little weasel you're always following around?"

  "James! James, you know this has nothing to do with Philip."

  "Oh, it has everything to do with that insane brat! You think I don't see you two?"

  "James, please! Please don't drag Philip into this. He hasn't done anything."

"He's going to pay for everything. And as for you, you're going to get it!"

His firm hand came on mine and I struggled to be made free.

  "James, stop. Stop it! You're hurting me!" I shouted in fear, pleading for him to stop.

  "Oh, you haven't seen hurting, Parker!" He snarled like an animal, digging his sharp fingers into my skin.

  I struggled harder, trying to free myself as his sudden push came. "James -" The last words I uttered, remembering nothing again.

Gosh, what will happen to Tricia now?

EPISODE NINETEEN




☆



☆


☆




  "Where's my daughter? Where is she?! Where have you taken her?" 




  Mrs. Parker was so shaken with fear as her husband clung to her. He tried so hard to comfort her but to no avail, as their daughter was lying unconscious in the emergency room, and there was nothing they could do.




  Everything was happening so fast, and the hot air that seemed like a million degrees, wasn't helping the situation.




  Chelsea stood weeping at one side while Philip stood beside her, having no idea how things could have gone this way.




  "Chelsea, what really happened back there? How did Tricia get stuck in this kind of situation?" He asked bitterly, as Chelsea looked at him with tearful eyes.




  "I have no idea, Phil. How was I supposed to know things were going to be this way when she was with a guy I thought she knew."




  "A guy?" Philip let go of the wall. "What guy are you talking about, Chelsea? And how could you let the two of them be alone?!" 




  "I never knew this would happen. I really had no idea it was going to turn out this way." 




  "My God! But Chelsea, is there anyway you can tell who this guy is whenever you see him?" 




  "I can!" Chelsea's face lit. "Phil, please tell me Tricia's going to be okay. I don't want anything to happen to her. She really shouldn't be going through all this..."




  "You're right!" Mrs. Parker made towards them. "Weren't you the one that brought my daughter here? Why don't you tell us what happened, young lady? How did my daughter end up in this condition?!" She demanded.




  "Lucille -" Her husband made to stop her.




  "No, Raymond! I have every right to ask!" She rolled two furious eyeballs at Chelsea. 




  "M-Ma'am... Ma'am, I had no idea this was going to happen. Please believe me."




  "Believe you?! How am I supposed to believe that when my daughter's battling with her life right now? Tell me!" Mrs. Parker shot back angrily, as the young girl trembled.




  "Lucille, please," Mr. Parker got in front of her. "We can't be doing this right now. Let's just pray our daughter gets well." 




  "But Raymond, our daughter is in there. Our baby, Raymond! Our only daughter." She fell into his arms. "I don't know what will happen if we lose her. I really don't know."




  "Nothing will happen to our daughter, Lucille." came Mr. Parker's comfort tone. "I know that whatever thing she's going through right now, she'd be able to get through it. I know so." Mr. Parker assured and kissed her lightly on her hair.




☆




  One week passed and there was still no sign of Tricia waking up or moving a muscle. Everyone was getting really worried.




  James on the other hand, was still no where to be found. Given the descriptions by Chelsea, a search party was led in search of him, and a bounty was placed for  anyone who knew of his whereabouts.




  Philip was not at rest, either, as he stayed in the hospital, hoping that Tricia would wake up.




  "Phil, you have to eat," Chelsea said to him one day.




  She was getting really worried about him. Sometimes, she would persuade him to eat, only for him to give his usual excuse of not having appetite.




  "Don't tell me you don't have appetite this time!" Chelsea gritted her teeth. "I mean, how would you feel if Tricia woke up and found that you haven't eaten anything?" She continued, not giving up.




  Philip sighed, and looked up at her. "Chelsea, I just don't have appetite. You shouldn't worry about me." He said with a weak smile, letting go of his hands. "And, besides, how do you expect me to eat when Tricia has been in there for some days now?" His voice depicted his mood.  "I should have been there, Chelsea. I should have been there to protect her!" He blamed himself.




  "Come on, Phil. There's no need to beat yourself up. No one's blaming you for anything." Chelsea drew closer. "And who could have known that something like this was going to happen?"




  "I know but still -" His words felt heavy and he gave a deep breath. "Gosh! That guy is really going to pay. He's going to pay for every pain he's caused Tricia!" He struck his palm and talked through clenched teeth. 




  Chelsea has never seen this kind of rage in him, and she felt scared of what he might do. "Philip, please calm down. Let's not get things worse but hope Tricia gets better." She tried to comfort.




  "Gets better?" Philip fidgeted. "Chelsea, have you seen her? Tricia is in there battling with her life and you're telling me to calm down?!"




  "Look. I know what happened to her was really tragic. And I know that very soon the cops would be able to catch the culprit." Her tone was graced with hope.




  Philip turned to the door and pushed it open gently. He looked inside, catching sight of the bandage wrapped around Tricia's head, as pain and bitterness swept over him. 




  You shouldn't be going through this, Tricia. You shouldn't be going through them. I'm really sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I just hope you'll come back to us. Your parents miss you so much. Chelsea and I miss you so. Please don't give up yet. I know you can gain victory over whatever thing you're passing through now. Please just don't give up on us. I love you very much... we all do. He concluded and swallowed in pain.




  He let go of the handle and turned to leave as a loud beeping noise came from inside. "Tricia?" His eyes widened. "Tricia!" His heart skipped, seeing her body jerk up and down. "Tricia... Nurse! Chelsea, call the nurse!" He shouted in terror, rushing inside.




  Four nurses came rushing in, with a man clad in a white coat telling them what to do.




  One of the nurses ordered the panic-stricken friends to stay outside while they tend to the patient.




  Tricia's parents had just gone out for lunch, and they had no idea where they had gone to. They knew not what was going on, and was left with no choice but to pray and hope that Tricia came out alive.




Correction To The Other part (Episode 18) 





  I made quite a speech when Tricia and her mother were having a 'mother-daughter's' talk. So the right sentence is >>> "YOU DON'T LOVE A GUY AND YET YOU AGREED TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND?"




  Yes, that's it. I'd have loved to make corrections to some but I'll wait for the piece to complete 50. Then I can start.
