Chapter 5: Change For The Better part 2

Katie's POV

2 busy months have passed, and today is the big day. James will start teaching me how to pray. For some this would be very easy, but for a person like me who stopped praying for 6 years would be difficult. The faith in God is not there anymore, the part that praying would be a hobby would be a difficult thing, and praying rosaries? I don't know, thinking about all of these makes me have butterflies in my stomach. :<

James: "Kate! There you are. Galing ako sa chapel and I got you these prayer books/ prayer cards and a guide on how to play the rosary. I scanned one prayer book dito, I saw a prayer for Sto. Niño and I want you to start on this one." opens the prayer book "look here, it says you have to pray this on 7 consecutive days. This would be great. Kasi sasanayin kitang magdasal uli, tama lang itong & days of praying for starters like you. ;) Kaya mo yan, just call me when you need help or you want to ask questions. okay?"

then James gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"thank you...for everything. Your effort is priceless. I love you. :-*" I leaned to kiss James on his cheek. "uhmm, love? I just wanna ask, if I prayed all of these would it help me with everything? or maybe it'll make my every wish or desire come true? well, aside from you being a part of my life. What do you think???"

James: "Alam mo, love. Basta nandyan sa puso mo yung faith kay God. In short, isinasapuso mo ang mga dasal mo, siguradong matutupad mga dasal mo basta may kasamang 'gawa'. Oh, bagong tip ko yan. Dasal at gawa lang, matutupad lahat ng gusto mo. Manalig ka lang sa Diyos Ama. " :)

James gave me that huge comforting smile.

"okay then.. I promise I'll do everything I can. I promise I will change for the better. I promise that I will do everything, just to be the perfect girlfriend. I love you so much" then I hugged him tight "thanks again, James."

James: "with pleasure, my love." ❤❤❤❤❤

Dear Diary,

Today James helped me on how to become a Catholic again. I finished praying the rosary, the prayer for Sto. Niño, the prayer for the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the prayer for St. Ann. I did it and it felt wonderful. I feel so blessed right now. I never felt anything like his before aside from the day James became my boyfriend. I have to admit. After I prayed minutes ago, I felt this kind of relief that sort of like soothes my soul. I'm not being overdramatic but that's what I really felt and I can't wait to tell this to James tomorrow. :)

Till next time,

Katie

....unknown txt?

[Text:] "hey Katie. It's been a long time. It's me, Carlos. Been thinking about you lately. How's my little angel? I wanna talk to you soon or maybe we meet up. Just call me."

WTF!!!! Carlos?! Eh siya yung lalaking sobrang obessesed sa akin. He's a pervet. And we've been classmates in our elementary years. After we graduated elementary, he transferred in to a new school and he kept on stalking me! This creep never stopped! oh no, I better tell this to James. I don't wanna keep this from him and I DON'T WANT THIS IDIOTIC PERVERTED CREEP TO RUIN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY TRUE LOVE.
