I woke up the next day because of the sunlight that's hitting my face. I smiled as I remembered how beautiful the island is. I prepared myself for the day and then decided to go down. I wore a simple black dress with my slippers and bun my hair then put some lip gloss. I look at my reflection before coming out of the room. I was greeted by the laughs coming from the receiving area of this house. I could hear Gail's voice as well so I know that she's already awake and teasing with Uno. And I'm correct. I saw almost everyone in the living room, playing scrabble. I walked towards them and laughed when I saw Gail punishing Uno for putting an unfamiliar word. I stand beside Ramiel who's also smiling while watching them. "Good morning, Miss." I smiled at him and greeted him back, "Good morning, Ram. Just call me Vy," I told him. He nodded and smiled a bit. I turned and focus on Gail and Uno who's still playing. They're really much alike. Both childing and loves to tease each other. We were laughing when Lucas came in with Samantha. I couldn't move. My eyes couldn't leave them. Lucas looked really serious while Samantha looked irritated. They weren't lookung at us and both busy with whatever they're arguing about. My heart throb and a sudden volt of pain rushed in my chest. And I felt my nerves numbed my body as I felt my nervous slowly crept in my body. All the things I've been avoiding to think of is slowly hunting me now that I saw them together. I looked away and silently turned my back on them. I made sure no one will noticed. I hurriedly go back to my room. My hand is shaking as I opened the door of my room. I leaned on it as soon as I locked it and my mind went blank. And although I know the answer deep in me, I still wanted to ask. Why is she here? Why does she know this place? My strength suddenly left my body and all I could do is sit there. I heard a sudden knock on my door and even though I wanted to ignore it, I heard Gail's voice on the other side. "Vy," she called softly. I couldn't answer and just opened the door for her. She looked at me worriedly. Uno is standing behind her. "Vy," she called again, "S-she's," Gail couldn't finish her words. Maybe Uno saw that I felt really weak that he assisted me to my bed. "I think, it's better if you'd let Lucas explain first," he said. I looked him and Gail. They looked worried and that made me even more nervous. "Do you know her?" I asked. He looked away and remained silent. Gail then walked towards him and held his shoulders, "Tell us the truth. Do you guys know her?" He sighed and nodded slowly, "Yes, we know her." That's the only thing he said but I felt my world shatter. I felt my body felt cold and my hands turned numb. Gail walked back and fourth. "No, this can't be. No," she said frustrated. My eyes watered as it slowly dawned on me. I'm right all along then. He's not really her driver. Samantha's his cousin. She's here now so that confirms everything. "Pack your things Vy, we're leaving." I looked at Gail when I heard her say that. She looked decided. "Gail, please listen to him first. Lucas won't like it if you two will leave," it was Uno trying to convince my best friend. She laughed sarcastically and turned to face Uno, "And you think I'd be happy to stay here knowing that, that girl is here?" "I'm sure she can't do anything to you both," he answered. "Fuck it. Fuck Lucas. Fuck you! I'm sure you guys knew that Samantha's involved with this issue!" she said angrily. "Why did you helped us? Is this planned? Did you guys planned to bring us here and then that woman would follow?" I can see how Uno's face become more serious this time. I don't know what to do. I don't know if I'd pack my things as Gail told me or I'll stop them from arguing. "We didn't know Samantha would be here. We didn't plan to let her know that we're here," he explained. Gail just made a face and shouted at him, "The fuck? Who are you fooling?" "You should stop cursing Gail. It doesn't suit you," he said irritatedly too. "As if it matters? Who the hell cares?" Gail sarcastically answered. I sighed and stood up to stop them from arguing. "Uno, can you just bring us back to the pier? We'll be alright after that. Gail and I will leave now," I said. "I can't Vy, I'm sorry." Gail didn't wait for me to speak again. She turned to Uno again, "Move your ass, Versola. I don't care if you're not allowed to bring us there. You will do it. If not, we'll fucking swim this fucking island. Bullshit," she exclaimed. Uno didn't say a thing and left us alone in my room. Gail walked towards me and hugged me tight. I can feel her worried about me. And as much as I wanted to cry, I couldn't. I can just feel my heart aches as it turns heavier as time goes by. "Go pack your things now. I'll just fix mine too. We can't enjoy this island anymore. The witch is here. Go, don't think too much okay? Just fix your things and we'll leave," she daid. I nodded and smiled at her convincingly. After a while, she decided to go to her room and pack her things too. After some time, Gail came back with her luggaes. Mines packed too. We were both ready so we decided to go down to leave. "You won't do that, Sam!" it was Lucas voice thay greeted us when we left my room. "How dare you do this to me, Lucas! For that bitch?" Samantha shouted back. We were in the stairs when we heard that. "You ruined my plan! You ruined everything Lucas! I was hoping you'll help me or is this your way of helping?" her voice is full of hope. "You know I didn't agree to any of your plans," Lucas voice made my heart beat faster. "Really? Then why are you two suddenly became close? Why is she here with you?" Samantha's voice sounded really provoking. I can now see them both. I was standing behind Lucas. Samantha could see me but she refused to glance at me. I could feel my hand shaking again and I'm slowly turning weak again.
