CHAPTER ONE : IT ALL STARTS...

“Where am I?" the girl lying in the hospital bed said. She looked around but no one in the room except her. She recalled what happens before…

“I only remember that I jump in the bridge” she remembered that she was in a bridge and under is a lake. ‘I suffered enough I just want to finish everything! Why didn’t I die when I jump!’ she thought to herself.

While she was thinking about why she didn’t die the door in the room opened. She looked at the door, she saw her mom and dad. “Phoebe!” her mom called her.

Her tears fall as she saw her parents. She wants to hug them she wants to cry while embracing them. When her mom went near her, her body reacts. Her body rejects her mom and somewhat she felt disgusted.

She falls down the bed as when her body avoids her mom. “PHOEBE! PHOEBE! Are you alright?” Her mom was shocked. Her dad went beside her mom.

Her mom tried to walk towards her and help her get up. Her mom saw her shivering in fright when she tried to go near her. “Phoebe?” her mom was confused and so is her dad. Her dad immediately calls the doctor and nurse.

…

Minutes have passed the doctor and nurse went inside the room. They saw Phoebe lying on the floor shivering and looked afraid.

“Doctor Lee what happened to my daughter! She… I was trying to hug her then suddenly she avoids me that she fell in the bed. She-she was afraid she was shi-shivering from fright! WHA-WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER!” her mom asked the doctor. Her mom was crying saying it with panic and worry in her voice.

Phoebe looked at her mom, she wants to her mom that she was fine…she was okay there is nothing to worry but she can’t her body won’t move, and she was afraid.

‘I read in some novels when someone got an accident she/he will have amnesia. Why didn’t it happen to me! They got amnesia because they experience bad things and want to forget…but me too I experience bad things almost every day for the past four years. I endure it I don’t want to tell my parents about it, but I get too tired that I jump in the bridge to end it’ Phoebe thought to herself while looking at her parents.

‘Looking back at what happened it all starts because of a guy’ Phoebe remembered the day in her third-year high school…

*FLASHBACK*

It was when a guy named Aaron looked for Phoebe in her classroom. Aaron was a famous guy, he has many followers on social media and most of the female students in the school know him.

Even Selena Phoebe’s best friend since, the first year of high school has a crush on Aaron. She always tells Phoebe about how awesome Aaron is. She would say that Aaron is so great at basketball.

But there is one thing that Aaron is not good at and it was studying. He didn’t fail the exams but unlike in novels popular guys are smart and always at the top, Aaron is average.

Phoebe is not infatuated in Aaron even though he is one of the popular guys in the school. She had it you could say, she was good at sports, good at studying, and loving parents and siblings.

“Is Phoebe in the room?” Aaron asked one of the students in the room. The student point at Phoebe who is talking in front of Selena.

“Phoebe someone is looking for you!” The student that Aaron said loud to Phoebe. Phoebe looked at the door she saw Aaron. Phoebe looked at Selena who was also confused.

“Phoebe, Aaron is calling you! You should go let’s talk later” Selena said while smiling at her best friend. Phoebe nods at her and stands in her seat and walks towards Aaron…

“Why are you looking for me?” Phoebe asked Aaron. “Can we talk when no people around?” Aaron asked back at Phoebe. Phoebe was confused and just followed Aaron.

…

They are at the secluded place in the school. Even Phoebe didn’t know the place. “Phoebe I like you since the first time I met you!” Aaron confessed at Phoebe.

Phoebe was shocked and didn’t know what to utter. She was silent for a minute then she tried to open her mouth, but was stopped by Aaron. “Please don’t answer me yet…I know you don’t like me yet… before answering me please give me a chance” Aaron pleaded.

Phoebe looked at Aaron and nod her head. She didn’t plan to give Aaron a chance but looking at Aaron pleading she can’t refuse. “But I will only give you one month,” she said.

“One month is more than enough,” he said while smiling so brightly. This was the first time Phoebe saw Aaron smile like that. Though that was the first time she looked at Aaron other than Selena asked her too.

…

After Phoebe and Aaron talked, Phoebe went back to Selena. It was lunch break at that time, so it was free time to chat for the students.

  “Phoebe, what did you and Aaron talked about?” Selena asked her. Phoebe’s heart raced a bit after hearing Selena asking about what she and Aaron talked about. She was afraid that she would hurt Selena.

“I think I know! Looking at your expression and not wanting to talk about it… It only means one thing!” Selena said looking at Phoebe seriously. “I think he confessed to you!” Selena added.

Phoebe was shocked, she didn’t think that Selena would guess right. “I-I tried to refuse him but he pleads that before I answer him I should give him a chance,” Phoebe said looking sad and pitiful in front of Selena.

“Then give him a chance IDIOT… I don’t mind you are my best friend I would not hurt if you became his girlfriend” Selena said while smiling.

Phoebe knows that Selena is lying. She knows that Selena liked Aaron for so long that she was hurt right now because Aaron confessed at Phoebe. Phoebe just became silent after it and don’t know what to say…
