I was on the verge of falling asleep when I heard the door of this room opened and then closed after a while. Then I heard someone's footsteps. I didn't who entered the room because I was facing the other side.
I didn't move and acted like I'm asleep. I can feel the gaze of someone and based on its shadow, I think it's Lucas. I almost rolled my eyes and closed my eyes right away when he walked towards the side where I am facing. He sat at the couch beside the sliding door of the veranda.
I heard him sigh. I opened my eyes and was met by his dark brown eyes. He wasn't shock that I'm awake. He remained looking at me intently.
All of a sudden, I felt sad. He looks tired and not in the mood. I know he's just being nice. He's helping me because it's his nature to help someone, like before when I first know him. He also helped me even though it's not his responsibility to do so.
I looked away and sat down. I started playing on my fingers to stop myself from looking at him. I felt guilty. I don't want to cause them trouble but here I am. This wasn't his problem but I dragged him. This is all my fault. He wanted to help me even though I'm not sure if we're okay.
"I'm sorry," I said in a low voice without looking at him, "You don't have to do this Lucas. Ahmm I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm thankful with all your help but you really don't have to do this. I'll go home tomorrow, I'll talk to Gail so she won't need to go in here anymore." 
I didn't hear anything from him. I looked at him for a while and I saw how he sat in the couch looking really tired. His eyes looking for me.
"Sorry for the trouble I've caused. I don't know how to repay your kindness and help but I'm really thankful for this. You've done enough already. We do not need to leave tomorrow anymore. I'll go home and I'll just face them to end this issue," I said almost losing my voice. 
He chuckled without humor. I looked at him to see his sharp eyes directed at me. His jaw clenched and his face dark. 
Is he mad? Why did he help me then? I don't really get him. The way he acts towards me is really confusing. He helps me but he seems mad at me aswell. What the hell did I do to him?
"You aren't going anywhere. Go to sleep, we'll leave early tomorrow. You are not facing anyone there Veronica Marchella," he said firmly and walked towards me. I couldn't argue anymore, looking at him this close, he's serious and mad. 
He look hot but I still don't get him. What the fuck. He's hot? The hell Veronica. 
I rolled my eyes on him when he tried to come even closer. I turned around and covered myself with their blanket. I heard him sigh deeply before I felt him fixing my blanket. After a while, he left me without saying anything.
I felt even more sad. What really is happening between us? He's not like this to me. And it hurts, I don't understand him. If he's really mad, why is he helping me. It just made me more frustrated that he came here and acted that way to me.
I woke up the next day with the knock on my door. Two maids helped me to prepare for the plans today. I did everything that they asked me to even though I haven't really processed everything yet. I still feel unwell because of my fever. It's just four in the morning and even though my body felt heavy, I tried my best to not look like it. 
Everyone is busy. I just wore a simple white hood, black jeans and white sneakers. My head felt light and sometimes I still feel dizzy but I managed to move swiftly. I'm used to this. Aside from Gail, no one really takes care of me when I'm sick. So this isn't new to me, to act like I am okay even though I feel like my head is throbbing.
I even managed to bring my things downstairs. Some maids tried to help me but I refused. They shouldn't be bothering to help me with everything. I can manage. 
"Good morning Vy, let's eat breakfast. Come here," Harriet said as soon as she saw me.
"Ah, where's Lukcas?" I asked when I didn't see Lucas.
"Oh, he's outside. He's preparing everything that you needed. Also the things requested by your friend. Don't worry, he had his breakfast already. Let's eat."
I sighed and pushed myself to shrugged it off. It makes me sad that Lucas is like this to me. I don't know if he's just avoiding me or what. I really don't know this is the right thing to do. It seems like he doesn't want me around him so why does he want to continue with this plan.
"Hmm, Arrie." I called her softly. My voice is still not okay so I kept my voice low. She looked at me and waited for me to continue.
"Can I asked something?"
She nodded so I proceed.
"Is it okay if we don't continue the plan? I want to go home now," my voice cracked as I said that. 

"What? No. It's dangerous. Why are you thinking that way? Don't worry okay? Everything is ready, your friend will be there too."
I bit my lower lip to hide my frustration. I need to do something so Lucas and I won't be together anymore. It's obvious, he can't stand to be with me. He's doing this because he's kind.
"Then, can I just be alone in your rest house? I'm sorry for asking this. Maybe me and my friend could stay there for a while? We'll just pay for our stay. Lucas can just stay here and continue with his life," I said continuously to avoid being too emotional.
She looked at me puzzled. It looked like she doesn't understand why I am suddenly asking her this. I get it. They're nice. And I don't want to take advantage of it so I don't want to push Lucas into this.
"What are you thinking?"
I couldn't move when I heard his voice. I think he heard what I said to his sister. He might think that I'm being stubborn. I felt the nervous slowly rooting in my chest. I even felt a sudden pain in it and I tried my best to hide it.
"Lucas what's going on? What did you do to her?" It was Harried who asked him that, irritated.
"I didn't do anything on her. You should be the one I'm asking that. What did you do to her that made her think that I don't want to join her there?" he asked angrily.
I shook my head right away and faced him. The pain in my chest keeps on lingering.
"Look I'm sorry for the trouble that I've caused. I'm really really sorry and thank you for the help. For letting me stay here and for wanting to keep me safe but this is too much. Harriet, I'm really sorry for the hassle. And Lucas sorry for giving you burdens. You don't have to do this, really. I can deal with this on my own. Can I just go home to my apartment? I want to go home," I said a bit histerical. 
I didn't know that I can be this emotional. With everything that I've been through, I've never been this weak. Right now, I just wanted to go home and stop from dragging them into this trouble. 
I don't care if the media would do everything to know about me or my past. I don't care if they'll invade my privacy. I just want to end this. I just don't want them to be in this trouble anymore. Not Lucas and his family. 
I don't wanna be a burden to him.
"Fine. I'll take you home," walang emosyong sambit ni Lucas. 
"What? No! Lucas, are you out of your mind? What about her safety?" lumapit ang kapatid n'ya sa kanya at galit na sinabi iyon. 
"It's her decision Ate." 
"Oh my God! I can't believe you Lucas Andriene! Vy, stop this. Both of you drop your fucking fight okay? That's the least we needed right now. Come on," she said to us, a bit problematic.
I didn't really know what happened. They spoke privately and after that, we're here. 
Did my best to avoid Lucas. He's currently busy on his phone while I remained silent on the other side of the ar. 
Harriet was mad at Lucas before we left so I decided to not argue anymore. I don't want to be the reason of their misunderstanding. I already caused them enough trouble. 
I decided to call Gail. I feel like I needed to hear her voice. She's a family to me so she's the only comfort that I have. I wanted to be with her so I could be weak. It's hard to put up with all the emotions that I have right now.
