❣️Episode 37❣️
????Brenden’s pov????
I hissed in pain as I applied the antiseptic cream on my bruised face.
Fuc-k! It hurts like a bit-ch !
I sighed as I dropped the cream on the table and stared into my face in the mirror.
Damn, my face were all bruised up due to the punches I received from my father earlier ago.
I know I’m such a loser. One who can’t fight for himself. One who can’t protect himself from dangers. From his father.
To be honest, I wanted to fight back. Or at least run away from him but my legs felt so numb that it couldn’t lift itself off the ground.
It felt like I was still that eight years old boy who was locked up in that little box, fighting for oxygen…
The memory alone have been haunting till date and my father? Tsk, he felt no remorse for what he did that day. He never cared, not even for a moment.
I stood up from the chair and went to say lie down on my bed, bringing my arm to the back of my head as if it was a pillow.
My gaze rested on the white ceilings….as memories of that very day displayed in my head.
The voices…. The black box…. The yelling…. The ban-ging…. My struggles…it was traumatizing and scary.
I couldn’t escape from that past no matter how ha-rd I try.
I was still trapped in there, hoping for a savior to pull me out of that bondage, out of that cage.
I was still waiting for my redemption.
Suddenly my phone beeped three times, signifying a new text messages.
I sluggishly reached out to it in the bedside table and grabbed it.
I unlocked the phone using my face and clic-ked on the new message.
It was a text from Lexi, Arthur and Davis.
What’s wrong???
I wondered as I read my sister’s text first.
SWEETHEART♥️♥️♥️: GUESS WHAT!? GWEN IS FINALLY AWAKE!:-)
My eyes were almost bulging out of its socket at this message as i quickly sat upright on my bed, clic-king on my two best friends text.
IDIOT&STUPID: GWEN IS UP, MAN:-)
Oh my Fuc-king shit!
It’s true.
Gwen is finally awake. She’s out of danger.
Oh my God, I can’t believe this.
I had a big smile on my face which caused it to sting in pain.
This was the best news I’ve heard so far since I got to this country for the stupid business trip with my annoying father.
It’s amazing knowing that Gwen is up. Fuc-k!
~You must be very excited than her parents~ My subconsciousness said, making me roll my eyes.
I was only excited because now I won’t have to feel guilty about anything and nothing else.
Wait, do you think I’m happy because of something else?
~Something else…mhm~
I don’t have any Fuc-king feelings for her, okay?
~No one said anything, Brenden. No one~
Fuc-k this.
Just then my bedroom door was pushed open, revealing my father who wasn’t smiling at all.
“Get dressed, we are going back home.” With that said he walked away, slamming the door shut.
Now, that’s another good news.
The heavens didn’t abandon me afterall.

????Gwen’s pov????
“Stop beating yourself about this, Gwen. Your mom didn’t leave because she didn’t care.” Dad said, still holding my hand.
“Then why? I mean, every mother will wait till my child wakes up, right?”
“She did.”
“Then where is she? Why did she leave without me?” The question were already out before I could even stop myself.
I saw the hurt in my father’s face as I asked that question.
Dammit.
“No…I didn’t mean it that way… I…”
“Do you want to go back to Boston, dear?” Dad asked. I didn’t say anything as I started fiddling with my fingers. “Gwen, talk to me. Do you want to go back to your mother?”
We were both staring at each other in the eyes as I remained silent.
Like come on, what am I to say to that?
Yes? or No?
Honestly I’ve come to love New York. I’ve come to love my new school, my home,,, I’ve made new friends that were amazing and funny.
But then again, I miss Boston, my real home.
~Then does that mean, New York isn’t your real home?~ A voice from my head asked.
I don’t have an answer to that question.
I’ve only lived here for like how long? But I’ve stayed in Boston all my life!
I’m used with the environment, the people… everything.
I know every corner of Boston like it was the back of my hand.
And as for Brooklyn? I’m just getting to know the city.
I sighed, gulping ha-rd as I pulled my hand from my father’s grasp. “Dad…I love you so much and I love it here but…”
“You miss home.” Dad cut me off, staring de-eply into my eyes as if trying to spot out my sincerity.
I lowered my gaze nodding my head quietly.
“Do you want me to take you home then?” He questioned, bringing my face up to look at him. “Tell me what you want, sweetheart and I promise to do it.”
What do I want?
Do I want to go back home to Boston? Or do I want to still stay here in Brooklyn?
The choice was mine to make…

????Cleo’s pov????
Dammit!
Why the hell did I ki-ss Gwen?
Am I crazy or something?
Fuc-k, I wonder how she’s going to look at me now.
I was just caught in the moment. I was so happy to see her awake and healthy…the emotions took over and I just couldn’t stop myself from making that stupid mistake.
I don’t have any feelings for Gwen. The person I love was Lexi and damn, she caught me ki-ssing someone else.
Will she ever look at me again?
Speaking of Lexi,,, why does something feel off about her?
Why does it feel like she has some kind of feelings for Gwen?
She cares too much for her and that’s just too suspicious and obvious not to point out.
I know she has a boyfriend but still!
She hasn’t said a word to me since we left the ward to give both father and daughter a chance to catch up but yet she hasn’t taken her eyes off me.
She wasn’t staring…she was glaring.
I adjusted on the bench, looking away from her as I look back at the door, hoping she would stop glaring.
She didn’t.
I could see it from the corner of my eyes _in case you are wondering how I got to know_
She stood up from where she sat and came to sit down beside me.
“Here,” She handed a bottle of water to me. I stared down at it, contemplating whether or not I should take it. “I didn’t poison it, Cleo.”
I hesitate before collecting it from her. “Thanks.”
“Wait, you actually thought I poisoned it?” I nervously laughed, taking a sip from it. “Why would you even think that?”
I shrugged. “You’ve been glaring at me from afar and suddenly you come over handing me a bottle of water, what else do you expect me to think?”
She gasped, nodding her head in understanding. “Ah…you have a point there.” She smiled. “Sorry about that.”
I brushed it off. “It’s alright. I hold no grudge.”
“Of course you won’t. I’m too amazing for you to remain mad at.” She pouted, smiling.
“Yes you are.” I agreed, not taking my gaze off her cute face.
Our gazes locked, neither of us was willing to look away.
She was just so perfect…her shaped face, her eyebrows, her eyelashes, her li-ps, her nose…they were all so perfect and beautiful.
I didn’t know I was trailing my fingers on them until she pulled away, clearing her throat.
“Uhm…” She clears her throat again, acting nervous as she adjusted, creating a little space between us. “So you and Gwen…huh?”
I gulped, tucking a strand of hair to the back of my ear. “No.”
She looks at me, surprise. “No? But you guys were just ki-ssing when we got in.”
“Um, it was a mistake.” I corrected, fiddling with my fingers.
“So she’s just a friend then?” She questioned.
“Yeah. More like a sister.” I cringed at the sisterly word used by me. Fuc-k.
“Oh…I thought…”
“Well, you thought wrong.” I interrupted. “Besides, I have someone else that I have interest on. She’s beautiful and amazing.”
“Oh really? Who is she? Do I know her? Does she come to our school?” Lexi asked anxiously, smiling.
She doesn’t sound jealous which kinda breaks my heart.
I smiled, sighing. “We aren’t too close for me to disclose that, don’t you think?”
She chuckles softly, throwing her hands in the air as if in surrender. “How can I forget that? But I will really want us to be close, you know?”
Really?
It won’t be a bad idea either to be close to her. Who knows maybe that’s the only way I can make her start liking me.
“That won’t be a bad idea.”
She nods. “I have the talent of coming up with good ideas, Cleo.” She winked.
Why was she doing this to me?
God, I’m crazy for this girl, can’t she see it?
A comfortable silent fell between us for a moment until she broke it off by asking me a question I never in my life imagined her to ask.
“How did you know you were g-ay, Cleo?”
Silence!
Silence!
Silence!
“I…I don’t know. I just felt it.” I stuttered, lowering my gaze to her pink plumpy li-ps.
“Oh. You just felt it…how?” She asked me.
I shrugged. “I took no interest in boys…their touch felt nothing to me. I once had a boyfriend actually…we made love but trust me, I felt nothing at all. It almost seemed like I was having se-x with a statue.” I explained.
Lexi suddenly stood up to her feet, with her mouth hanging open as she stared towards Gwen’s ward.
Her breathing were shallow. She kept clenching and unclenching her fist.
“Lexi…are you…” I began but she cuts me off with her next words.
“I…I think I’m g-ay.”
