It takes me back here on the edge of an island after I tried seeking Matthew. Damn it! It's a mountain cliff where a large rock can be found in front of the blue ocean. I also tried looking for Damon but I don't know where he'd gone. Damn. I was seating here all alone while doing my mental exercise. I wasn't expecting to see Matthew a while ago. What is he doing there?! That's the question that seemed to bother me and it pisses me off for having no answers! It's just it's too soon. Too soon to be exact. Damn. I can see the rumbling water in my front and the uneasy swaying of trees. The floating of small rocks and the hot air I'm feeling. I have been doing this for a while now to erase my anxiety. Damn. My jaw clenched at what happened a while ago. Every time I remember what happened to my mom makes me feel wants to kill him. Damn. Mom.

My tears start to swell again. My eyes start to turn on their black color. I can vividly see what's happening. The surrounding starts to move uneasily. The wind swayed like a typhoon, water starts to rise from its normal level, every living thing start to float somehow it turn to ashes. I need to calm down. But every time I remember everything it pisses me off! Damn it. It takes a realization for me to notice what's happening. I was abducted, my mom got killed, Pink was beaten and my dad still missing. Damn. And that Matthew still has the balls to face me? Damn him! I promised myself if I see him again I'll make sure he'll pay for what he's done.

"You should stop it now or else nothings will remain" I was back to my senses when the man I was looking at a while ago stood behind my back. As on cue I everything falls into its place. The wind on its normal temperature, the trees swayed as if nothing's happened and the water level back's to its normal along with my eyes.

"What's happening to my life?" I could barely taste my disgust in every word I uttered.

He walks beside me and takes a sit. He also picks some ashes that's fall on my thighs. Maybe it was some rocks that turned to ashes. "What's happening now has its reason" he answered while feeling the ash on his hand.

"Even if that reason don't no good to you? Or to the people around you?" He move his head towards me and smile a bit.

"Reason has its reason. You just have to deal with it. Live a life, Ada. Life is too short to make grouches" he said while looking at the ocean. He pick a small rock and started to throw it, he throw it as if making a bounce and circles.

I was in deep thought of what he said. I don't know how he can say that all like he's been through it. I don't know his story or even others. I think no one among us knows the story of each other, and I think it's good that way. Yeah, maybe I was just too sentimental. Damn. Or maybe these, all of these things are still new to me. Yeah, maybe the latter. I heaved a deep sigh and turned in front. It's just that I'm still not used to it and I think will never be. This situation is giving me a hard time.

"I'm sorry. You know for acting like a selfish, hardheaded, brat bitch! Really. I am" he never faced me instead he chuckled. There I said it!

"Don't be too hard on yourself Ada" he said half smiling.

"I am not. I just realized that I'm acting like a pro when in fact I'm just a stupid cuckoo still learning to lay eggs" I frown a little when I notice the adjectives I'm using.

He started to laugh because of it. Maybe he didn't expect it. I don't know but I found myself staring at him. His laugh is contagious. I find myself also chuckling a bit. I admit the first time we danced I'm already comfortable with him and now seeing him laugh like this makes me feel solace. He's good at making the situation lit up. And I can see that he's comfortable with me too. He just laughs carelessly like he has no problems. He has this carefree spirit. I just don't like his red orbs piercing into mine it gives me goosebumps.
