Elizabeth Costa POV:

" Mummy! Wake up!" Brand exclaimed trying to climb up the bed.

" Baby...we still have time my alarm has not even ring yet"I grumbled to him.

"Mummy, let's go," he pulled my hand which was dangling at the side of the bed.

I got up and quickly pulled him up onto the bed and started tickling him.

" Haha-mummy -haha - stop, " Brand said trying to breathe.

" Let's see if you would wake me up next time." I pinch his nose gently.

" Let's go and prepare, I'll go and brush my teeth and change can you do the same baby?"

" Okay, mummy" and he ran away.

I grab my phone from my nightstand and check my messages and mailbox.

"Oh. My. God... I got the job! Yes!" I got off my bed and did a happy dance. I told the good news to Emi and my parents then I check what time I had to report." 9 am. Great." I went to the toilet and did my usual morning routine again.

I wore a white lace off shoulder dress matching it with a rose gold layered necklace, a pair of round rose gold earrings and a peep toe black high heels. I sprayed some perfume on my neck and dress then let down my hair. I checked that I had everything in my black bucket bag and went to look for Brand.

Christopher Fernández POV:

'Yawn' I sat down on my couch drinking some coffee. Last night was horrible I kept thinking why is she here? Many questions were going through my mind. It's currently 7.30 am, I couldn't sleep a wink last night so I might as well wake up earlier and prepare.

Should I look for her? I mean I know where she stays since it's written in her profile. If I go, I'll look like a stalker...screw it I took my car keys and belongings then I headed over to her house.

" Yum. I love bacon and eggs. Thank you mummy" Brand said licking his lips.

"You're welcome, baby. Now go and grab your bag and we'll leave now, you don't want to be late do you?" I said wiping his mouth with a napkin.

I took the dishes and placed it in the dishwasher, I washed my hands and waited for Brand to come out from his room.

Christopher Fernández POV:

It's currently 8 am and I'm downstairs her house thinking whether I should go up. Just then I saw a familiar figure coming out and I saw her face. She looks so beautiful, her curves are just so perfect. I was too busy looking at her beauty that I just realised that there's a little boy holding her hand. I couldn't see his face as their backs are facing me, curiosity took over me so I decided to follow them. I saw them boarding the bus so I continued to follow them. Finally, they reach their destination and I manage to see a little bit of the boy's face, he looks familiar but I can't think of who is that.

Elizabeth Costa POV:

" Be good okay?" I kiss him " and have fun " I looked at him thinking ' Awe my baby is growing so fast.'

"I will mummy, see you later bye bye" he hugged me and kissed me goodbye.

I watch him walk in and then turn my heels and started walking. I decided to walk home so I can have some peace, I took out my earphones and started listening to 'nobody knows me at all' cover.

Flashback:
" Hey fatty! Get your fat ass out of my face" yelled a jerk.

During high school, I was constantly being bullied by kids from my school. Getting called by names hurt, but it doesn't matter to me as long as I have my friend with me. She ain't just any friend, but a friend who was there with me whenever I needed her. Keyword was. She betrayed me, all the secrets that I told her, she told everyone about it. She acted like a bitch using harsh words on me and from then on I don't know her anymore. She changed. Due to all the terrible comments anxiety ate me and I didn't dare to go out. When I was pulled to go out by my Mother it felt like everyone is laughing at me. They look like monsters to me. Their laughter kept ringing in my ears, I felt so damn horrible. It hurts, my heart was torn, even stitches aren't  able to put it back together again. I hid from everyone, I locked myself up. Until one day I woke up, it felt like I broke free from the chains that are tying me down. I looked at myself in the mirror. I grimaced at how horrible I looked, I told myself 'Only you can destroy yourself, no one else can. Do your best to show them wrong that they are wrong. I'm not some fat ass, I'm not some weakling.' My parents were overjoyed knowing that I'm starting to heal up. From then on I went on a nutrition balance diet and I worked out a lot. Till I had this body now. After that I went back to school, no one recognised me except for that bitch. Many people who then recognised me were shocked and speechless. Many of them became sweeter and tried to talk to me but I became cold, people who talk to me will only get a cold hard stare.

But one day, there was a new girl. She looked very pretty, her beach wave hair looks so flowy and her light brown eye matches her. But still, I had to keep my ice wall strong I can't let it melt... or it's more like I don't want to get hurt anymore. We had almost every lesson together, she tried to talk to me, follow me for lunch, to my locker. Till she gained my trust and that's how we started talking and became close friends.

Back to the present Elizabeth Costa POV:

My eyes felt wet I cried, again. I sighed and blinked my tears away and continued my journey back home.

Christopher Fernández POV:

I continued following her, I saw her lost in her own thoughts and her eyes turned red. It hurts. Why does it hurt? After what she has done..why..why did she did that to me. Annoyed I turned around and starting driving to work. I'll be seeing her from now on and I'll have some fun with that. I'll make her pay for what she did.

Author's note:
Hello everybody, I just want to say that sometimes the strongest person isn't strong in the inner but soft. They have to put on a stronger side so that they will not get hurt. So sometimes it's not that a person wants to mean and be cold but they are afraid that they will get hurt again.
