Philippines grab her wrist tightly not wanting to let go. She looked at the one who hold her and slowly, her eyes descend to him. The looked of him: sadness, desperation, and pleas; he wanted her to stay.

Not reacting, he slowly move. Every move send her strange feelings she never felt before. 'What is this?' She question looking at his eyes which getting closer. With his warm touch, he lift her chin looking at him.

Wind blows, blowing his gorgeous blue hair, and with the moon as his background, it is a mesmerizing sight. He then slowly lean closer to her face, his warm breath touching her skin-!!!

Pack!

"Ahh!" I reacted from the sudden pain in my head. In that process my phone drop from the floor.

"Mama!! Do you even need to do that?! I'm almost there!" I shouted at mom but not loudly and in frustration way as I pick my phone up.

"What there there!! Go wash the dishes! It overflowing and its getting mold stuck in the sink!!" She answer back.

"But ma!"

"But but, huh!"

Pack! Pack! Pack!

"Okay! Okay! Fine!! Stop!!" I beg to stop hitting me.

She did stop and I rub my head where she hit that hurts the most. From all the places, my head? Ma, I'm already an idiot and now hit my idiotic head, you want me to develop some brain damage?

Hmm...? I notice something. As I turn, mama is staring at me no, glaring at me-why?

"Ma, what is it?"

"Dishes! Now!"

"Ah!"

I hurriedly stand not wanting another hit, her eyes told me she will hit me again if I don't so... so I place my phone at the center table and went away.

Arriving at the kitchen, I grumble. I hate washing dishes! Its my sworn enemy, for ghad's sake why! Frustrated and all, I open the faucet for water and sadly started.

In the middle of my gloomy mood, I remember what I'm reading. Ayyie!! I scream inside, my favorite ship! Its sailing! That lifted my mood and didn't notice I finished my task. Snapping to  reality, I smile in greater mood. And whisper my self, I'm glad I'm alive~'

As I walk back to the sofa at the dinning room, grab my phone and about to sit when a call disrupt me.

"Ella! Go buy ingredients for dinner!" Mama shouted.

The happiness gone down to the opposite. Dropping my shoulders and head, I went to where mom is. I can't defy mama, she's the queen of the house, I'm nothing but a servant not a princess.

"Ella!!" She shouted again, clearly mixed with anger. She's starting to get mad. So I turn to her direction, matching in dispirited.

"List and money" I said.

"Go grab it at the table" she said in the bathroom, taking a bath.

"Okay" and I see what I needed.

Grabbing it, I left fast so she will not order me again for something. Hmm? I noticed the park not far in our house. Its pretty empty despite not yet dark. With a smile and idea pop out my mind, I went to sit at the swing to read my story!

Sitting on it, I immediately open my phone to continue but at the exact same time, my phone vibrate and a notification pop on my upper screen. Scanning the text, my heart want to stop from excitement. 'Amephil!'

Immediately clicking, the Whypad open. The new update chapter open few seconds after, with no further ado, I read it with intense eyes and great excitement, curiosity, and anticipation.

I finished reading it with a noticeable grin in my face. Closing my eyes to savor the great chapter, I lift my head towards the sky breathing the fresh air and imagining the chapter like. When I open it, it reminds me finally of the time.

'Sh*t!' I curse.

Its already sunset, no! The sun already set, it's just the orange cloud. 'I'm dead! Mama will surely kill me! Ah!' I dash to the nearest shop.

"Stupid! Why do you take so long?!" I address myself.

I tend to stop every paragraph, if not every sentence and every dialog, while reading. That aside, the mood, the feeling, and my reaction is another too making it more to consume time. Well yeah!! It's not my fault I want to appreciate the story!!

Going here and there, I finally got everything in the list. But the way back is a bit...distance. So, I gave up rushing home, I may stumble another trouble and that's more trouble. I rather scolded and nag for long than messing up. I'm clumsy the way I rush things you see.

Going back on foot, I walk in medium pace. I am walking at the side of the road, and on the way the bridge- the concrete bridge. The view over there is pretty, that every time I walk this road I always stop to watch the place where the ocean and the sky meets, even for a short time.

And like the usual, I stopped and watche it. Today, however, its more prettier than the usual  as orange clouds flocks the middle. It beautiful.

Leaning closely to watch their pretty chemistry, my hand holding the metal bar slipped.

'!!!' With a late reaction, I was pulled by the gravity and fall. Only then found myself falling in the long bridge.

'Sh*t! It did rain earlier! Of course you'll slip with your stupidity!!' I blame myself for my current situation as I'm waiting for water to swallow me.

Splash!!

"Blu-!!!"

'The f*ck!! I don't know how to swim!!' I scream inside.

Forcing myself to swim, its no used. I continue to fall underwater and that made me more panic!

'I'm really f*cking stupid!'

As I keep trying, my oxygen in the body starts losing as water enter my body. And with time, my consciousness becoming blurry. With my half dead state, I mumble...

'You...stu-'

And everything gone black.
