Colline's POV

"Col! Colline! Hey wake up! Colline!"

I was too tired to open my eyes but when I saw who was waking me up I was like an idiot that stares at him. He still looks the same. Curly hair... Grey eyes... Sexy lips... I knew it! I knew he'll come.

But-

"Ouch!"

"Don't give me that look, I might lose myself."

He's not...

"Drew?!"

He stand.

"Who else will it be? Sorry if I entered. I've heard you scream and I think you are having a nightmare again." He said with a twinge of sadness in his voice.

I stand and he hugged me at the back. I smelled his manly scent. I don't like his scent before, but I'm already used to it.

I didn't realized he already turn me around and I was now facing his well built breast. He's kissing my hair. We remain on that position for a while.

"If only I can guard you to them, I already did."

I tightened my hug, 'coz I don't know how to answer him.

"Mommy!"

"Grover!"

He rans towards me to give him a hug.

"Hi." He greeted Drew.

"Hi young man, how's your head?"

"Fine. The stitches are gone." He proudly said and show his head o Drew.

"That's good to hear."

"Mommy let's eat. I prepared the breakfast for you."

"Wow! Is it okay if I invite tito Drew?"

"hmmm... Alright!" Drew then carried him.

Grover... he's my special dose of medicine. He's just six turning seven. He is importunate to the point that he always met accident. If Grover did not come in my life, I don't think I can recover this fast.  

It was September 7, 2009. It was now dark. I was alone, walking the streets when I planned to sit on one bench. I don't know where I am but I'll figure out how to get out of here later. For now, I want to be alone. Well, I am alone all this years. When my mom dies because of cancer, I do not know how to continue my life.

She promised me that she will be going to stay on my side until I reach my goals. Until I become an Architect.

Too many promises... Promises that soon breaks me into tiny pieces.

My grandparents whom I live after my mom died become my new hope. A new hope to continue my life. But that hope shattered when they were killed in front of me.

There came a man who rides on a black BMW, walks with guards beside him, an who wore a suit.

A FILTHY RICH AMERICAN.

He introduced as my Father. The figure I don't have since I was born.

The next thing I know, I was now in California. living in a house too big for three person- a mansion.

My dad loves control, he loves manipulating people around him. Especially me. He wants me to be like him but I don't. We fight. We always fight. There I become friends with the man I thought I will live my whole life with. We are the best of friends that soon become lovers.

We are inseparable. But time flies so fast we lost track of it. He goes to Harvard to study Business, while I go to Cambridge.

My dad thought I was studying business but I deceived him. I took another course. My first love- ARCHITECTURE. My dad found out about it, and there I was living on streets, sometimes to my friends. But most of the time here. In this place I don't know.

He cuts everything that I even work just to stay in the university. I was soon expelled because they found out about my work.

In this place where I was raped. I saw another hope. I saw a baby wrapped on a white cloth. I get him and bring him to Drew's place. He doesn't like the idea of me adopting Grover. See I've already give him a name. When Drew saw that I was happy with him, he let me.

Grover Van Syrie. He thought me how to be a mother. He is a blessing from above. He gave me a brand new home. A new hope to continue my life.
