Will You Stay?

Prologue

Staying is a choice, but there are times that even though you really want to stay, if your time comes you'll just need to accept it. People come and go, but moving forward is all that matters. People change, people grow, you just have to accept it whether you like it or not because that's life.We're sometimes happy, sometimes in sorrow, but nothing is permanent. Life is a cycle of joy and pain, it's up to you if you want to be stuck either of the two.

Coincidence? Cursed? Fate? All of us are given freedom to think and have opinions. But not all of us are given the chance to voice it out. Some of them listens, but not all of them cares. It's life, that's life, and you should live it.

It's been years, 7 years to be exact after all of them left me. I'm so proud of myself that I did it, I made it, I survived. When he left me, it really broke my heart, I couldn't believe that even him will leave me behind.

My parents died in a plane crash when they're flying back here in Cebu for my 7th birthday but they didn't made it. My supposedly birthday celebration turned into mourning and funeral. My aunt took care of me, my mother's sister, she also managed our business the Monteverde Real Estate Homes. We flew and lived in Manila because of our business. I was home-schooled that time because of the trauma. I even undergone some therapy to recover, but after a year I had moved on and grabbed the opportunity to enroll in a normal elementary school.

There, I met my bestfriend, Tyrhone. He always protect me with the bullies, he's a year older than me but we're in the same level because I studied advance. He's like a big brother to me, we're close and also our families. Both of us lived in the same villa that's why we're really close. We're not that fond of playing outside because he has asthma that's why we only play indoor games and non-exhausting game.

A year passed, and another love of my life, left me again. Tita Lauren, was diagnosed a bone-marrow cancer, stage 4. It's so sudden, Tyrhone's family took care of me and our business was managed by Tita Lauren's secretary because I can't manage it yet.

I lived with the Bessons, they welcomed me like a family. Tyrhone is an only-child just like me that's why his parents are fond of me too especially Tita Crisel, Tyrhone's mom.
I continued to live my life normally with them, and I'm really blessed to meet them. I can't feel like I'm not belong because they really treat me as one of them, I thought we will be really happy throughout the years but again, nothing is permanent.

Together with Tyrhone's family, we decided to have our second Christmas Vacation together in Cebu. But, life really sucks. Accident. Our van didn't have break and there was another van coming towards us. Our supposedly vacation, got ruined.

And fate really wants to play with me, I can't say that I'm lucky, but I am the only one who survived. Funny, I wished to go with them too, at peace. I think I couldn't bear the pain, this time, not just one or two, but the three love of my life left me again. A 10 year old girl, was left again, and there's nothing she can do but just cry.

All of them left me. And I'm all alone.

Is this my fate? Or I am just cursed? Is this all coincidence?

Nothing lasts. They will leave you, all of them will. Just like me, and me is
