Where Hopes and Dreams End

Drowning in Love or Drowning in Alcohol?

Ethan drove his car, fast and hoped that we don't get a ticket from doing this.

But there's one thing that I don't understand, why do I feel so happy that I'm alone with him.

All I want to do is talk to him and hoping that we could have a relationship or something,

and I looked at the time, shoot! I'm getting out of focus. My mind has to be serious because we're already 20 minutes late from work.

Finally, we arrived at Storyline and he rushed in, I mean we.

"Good Morning, Mr. Clark. You're late" greeted Audrey

"You too, Ms. Thompson, what's the reason?" she added

"Woke up late. Had a hangover last night" Lied Ethan

"Didn't know you two have a thing, but anyway, go to work and this should be the last time I'll be giving you a warning. Or else," She warned

"Yes Ma'am" Ethan replied

As soon as Audrey walked away, I asked Ethan

"Hangover? really." I said sarcastically

"We can't do the blame game here. It sounds too childish, but Celestine and James are going to pay back,"

"Couldn't you think of another reason?"

"Huh. Don't act that you didn't like it"

"I didn't like it, ew" I lied I did like it, "Now she's going to think we have a thing"

"Nah, don't worry. Okay go to your workplace now"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Psst! Cathy" 

"Catherine!"

"Catherine Thompson!"

"You know what Celestine, I'm not going to talk to you after what happened awhile ago"

"When will you talk to me?"

"After work"

"Sounds fair"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey ,Cathybear. I am your ride home so let's go" 

"I should buy my own car someday," I said

"You're going to buy that with me, okay?" Celestine asked

"Okay, whatever makes you happy" I replied

We headed outside and hopped into Celestine's car. The whole trip was quiet until she explained what happened;

"You know you don't have to get angry with me. He planned it all," She said shortly

Unbelievable. No.

"Who planned it? And what?" I lied. I know that she's referring to Ethan

"Who else would it be? ETHAN! You know what Cathybear, I believe that he likes you,"

An awkward silence suddenly came out of nowhere. It hurts a lot in the ears, it's too quiet.

"Celestine, you know what, I have a confession," I have to tell her this, and I need help. I can't keep it already, "I feel that I hate myself. I am being so optimistic that he'll like me or he likes me, and that I make every small move he makes as a big move,"
