Twisted Lovd

CHAPTER 1 •

It's been three days since the incident between me and my parents and I still have no intention of consenting to that arranged marriage. I also locked myself in my room for three days. I have no intention of showing up or talking to my parents because I am still sulking with them.

"Baby please open the door. And eat." Pity Mom said. I was fired because of that. I will open the door as long as they stop their antics.

I didn't answer and instead I called Aera who had earlier called me. It rang three times and she answered immediately.

"It's good that you thought of calling me too. Why don't you answer our calls? Where have you been and why have you been absent for three days? Do you want to meet me tonight?" Aera was kind to me. I took the phone away from my ear because of her scolding.

I immediately pictured Ae's face with her expression and I'm sure I'll be hit when I'm with her. Last night she called me but I wasn't in the mood to answer that because I was still emoting.

I couldn"t help but cry every time I remembered the events.

"A-aera..." I cried calling her name. I can't help it.

"Hey, are you crying there? I haven't even hit you yet." She said jokingly but there was a trace of recollection in her voice.

They didn"t even know what was happening to me because I didn"t say. I would have liked to but Dad wouldn't let me out of the house because I might run away forever and never come back when I tried to do it a few times but unfortunately they always catch me.

That's why I chose to lock myself in my room. I also don't want to see their faces.

"C-can you come here to the house?" I still can't stop my voice from cracking.

"Why? What happened?"

"I'll just tell you later when you get here."

"Aera, who are you talking to there?" Mom still couldn't stop pitying me, which I ignored.

"Okay. Don't worry I'll be there in ten minutes." It's not difficult for Aera to come here because it's Saturday and there's no school so I'm sure she can come. She said goodbye to me because she was going here. Mom also stopped annoying me. Maybe go to work.

I got up from my seat and faced the mirror. I smiled bitterly because of my overall appearance. A pale and blast Night is before me now. I don"t eat at the right time because I don"t want to catch them Mom on the chin. My eyebags are getting bigger because of the tears.

I got my clothes ready and decided to take a bath. It took me a few minutes in the bathroom before I stopped. I want to feel the cold water so that I can never forget the events

After I got dressed I heard a faint knock from the door.

"Your friend is here tonight." Manang's words. Mom is gone. I left my room and went down the stairs.

I caught up with Aera in the living room who was impatiently waiting. She looked at me with a frown mixed with concern.

"Hey witch, what happen to you? and your pale?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. I smiled wryly and sat down next to her.

The there I burst out everything. I told her everything that had happened since the pageant.
