Cathy's Point Of View
I woke up early in the morning because I have to finish my homework. It's still 3 AM, I go downstairs to make myself a hot cocoa, "on gosh!" I exclaimed. I saw a tall figure in the kitchen for a moment I thought I saw a ghost but I figured the tall figure must be him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked while opening the fridge and getting some fresh milk and cocoa powder. "I want to get some water."
I flinched when I heard him talk, the last time he talks is when he nearly cut my neck. " So you could talk?" I teased him but as usual no response. I get some cold water and pour some on the glass and give it to him.
"Do you have a name?" I asked. " Why do you think I haven't?" he said and drink his glass of water. I'm just trying to know your name okay? "I'm just curious that's all, do you want hot cocoa?" I offered, but he didn't reply and just sat at the table.
I started to make our hot cocoa. I could feel him staring at me I took a deep breath and gather some courage to talk to him again. Here you go, careful it's still not " I said and give him his hot drink and sit on the chair on his left placing the hot drink in front of me. " My name is Cathy, What's yours?" I awkwardly lift my cup and take a sip of the hot cocoa.
"Lennon," He said while staring at the cup in front of him. I'm not expecting that he would reply. But the warm feeling in my heart when I hear his name is really out of this world.
A few days became a few months, and then it became a year. I spent all days, holidays and special occasions with him. The heart that beats fast can't be stopped anymore. But I hesitated to tell him what I felt, he is not staying here anyway. He keeps on telling me that he came from far away and no matter what he should go back there, no matter what it cost.
"Cathy Perez !" Mom is calling for dinner, I lost my thoughts when I opened that book. 'The Right Door To A Happy Ending' I remember reading this before. I trembled when I read it again everything was written there, what happened before he was sucked into this world and what happened 'till now. Is that why he was so eager to go back there? He left someone so precious there. The one he was going to marry, the one he has the right to spend a happy ending with. Every turn of the pages, every flip feels like every piece of me was taken.
"Cathy? "I dropped the book when I heard his voice, and in panic, I kicked it under the bed.
"What's that?" He asked and walked towards me he hugged me and put a kiss on my forehead. I'm used to the kindness and sweetness he showed me. I don't know what we are. I don't know what I am to him. And whatever it is, I don't want to lose it. I am not going to lose him, I'm not ready for it.
"Hmmm... It's nothing Let's hurry downstairs mom should be very Furious." I said while dragging him to the kitchen he just laughed and went on with me.
' Hadeya Edith Odelia forever with Demetreo Lennon Argonza. ' Just a word from a certain novel but hit me so bad that it feels like daggers pierced through me.
"Ino, the place you mentioned every time is it beautiful?" I asked while watching him doing the dishes. I called him Ino because that is what my Mom called him since he doesn't talk before, and that's when mom gave him a nickname.
"Yes, very beautiful," he said while smiling, are you thinking about her?
"Do you want to go back there?" I already know what he was going to say that obviously will hurt like hell.
"Yes, I left something precious there that I wanted to protect." Look at that smile, I felt a fountain of tears fall through my cheeks. I tried hard to stop it so he won't notice but these tears are so stubborn.
"I see, you must love it that you want to go back for it," I said and covered my face while trying so hard to swallow my sobs.
" Yeah, that is the only thing I have left." He said while smiling so bitterly as if he misses it, or should I say her?
" I-I h-have to go back to my room. " I tried so hard not to break down while saying that.
" Okay, you should be really tired. Goodnight Cathy." He said, he was about to turn around but I ran off before he could see me crying.
" Hadeya you are so lucky to have his heart even tho I am the one who's right beside him." I cried out everything I could cry and without knowing I fell into a deep sleep.
