Let Him Love You First

After leaving everything behind, Zoey needs to go home and face all she have left. She thought time can heal all wounds but after reuniting with her friends, she has to face her mortal nemesis as well as her ex boyfriend. Little did she know that there is a guy who is watching her from a far that will help her mend her shuttered heart. --- To: America Message: You know what? If you thought that Zoey was wrong for treating you badly, wouldn't it be better for the two of you to sit down, relax and talk? Remember that you've been friends since childhood. Reply: Earl it's easy to say but hard to do. Yes! We've been considering each other as best of friends but why did she decide to believe other people's hearsay? For their seven years of friendship, Zoey could say that America is a hard-headed person. Zoey pretended to be someone just to have a decent conversation with her. All she wanted was to know the truth. It started when one of her classmates saw both America and Michael, Zoey's boyfriend, at the mall. At first, when she heard about this, she thought that what was the deal of seeing them? What if they were buying some stuff together? She naïvely thought that it would be better than her best friend was on good terms with her boyfriend. In that way, she can help and understand them if they were fighting. But all of those thoughts disappeared in an instance when her classmate showed her a picture wherein they caught in the act of kissing and holding each other's hands while buying Cinema Tickets. She dialed America's phone number and tried to ask where she was last weekend when someone saw them together. America answered her calmly, "I was at home sleeping. Why? You knew that Mom was mad at me, and I grounded and forbad going outside last weekend, right?" After she had heard her reply, she thought that her response was like a big slap on her face; she knew that she was lying because her friend's evidence was authentic. The photo has a date on it, and it was impossible for anyone to edit or change the said photo because she used a film camera. Zoey thought of it before she called Michael and asked the same question. After Michael had answered her phone call and heard her question, his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat. Did Zoey found out about them? He tried to calm himself first before answering, "Babe I've told you that Dad was still mad at me and ordered me to stay at home and that was the reason I couldn't pick you up after your ballet lesson." Little did he know that his answer was exactly the same as what America has said to Zoey? Zoey started to have a doubt about them. After that week, Zoey found more about their illicit romance. They indeed are having an affair behind her. When most of her friends tried to convince to break it up with him, Zoey finally decided to do it. She then again called and asked him to meet her at the park near our village. When he arrived she immediately said, "Mike, let's end this." At that moment, she was already shredding her tears as she was asking him to end their relationship. Mike wanted to hold her hand but before he even had the chance to grab her left hand Zoey already stepped backward to avoid him. "Z I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong. I know I wronged you but please don't this to me. I was tempted, I seduced. I don't like nor love America. Babe, please don't say that." Who would have thought that Michael has the audacity to say that? Zoey was confused about what to believe; she didn't know if Michael was telling the truth or if it was another set of lies. But before she turned around and leaves, she took aback when she saw him kneeling and crying on the ground while asking for her forgiveness. She took them back her words.

Malicious thought

Michael lost his mood after his short confrontation with Zick, he thought that he can now have his chance to make his name as new as ever to Zoey after saving her but he didn't expect that Zick is working on the hospital he brought her in. aside from that he also has to retrieve his license in the police station after exceeding the required speed limit.

"Why does he needs to rub on my face that I didn't belong with their family anymore. Why doesn't he just move on and forget what had happened between me and Zoey." Michael said as he drives his car to his home.

Inside America's apartment was Rick who's waiting for his daughter to return. Due to that, his plan was sabotaged by an anonymous person he decided to call it a day and left his work without saying anything. He also lost his appetite to deal with everyone in ACS.

America's apartment is a mess just like her relationship with her mother. Dishes all piled up in the kitchen sink. Bags of garbage were all waiting inside her balcony to be thrown out. Clean and dirty clothes were all placed in one place. Her bed is half like a cabinet and other as her actual bed. This is not the place for a beautiful lady like his daughter to say it.

Rick started cleaning his apartment and washes his laundry. Although he doesn't have access to all her things with his intelligent mind he always finds her way to all her passcodes and locks.

Before darkness swallow, the sky the front door opens and produce a drunk America who is struggling her way to her bed. She cannot keep her balance intact from the influence of the alcohol she had taken.

America went to a pub in a broad daylight after seeing Michael and Zoey entered the hospital. She thought of numerous reason why does he need to bring her inside a hospital. Wasn't she dying? Or worst was pregnant of Michael's child.

America knew that Michael sex life is active as an athlete's daily routine. What is Michael found a way to be in between Zoey's pants? A lot of nonsense thoughts flooded her brain what made her ask strength to the powers of alcohols.

For the days that she and Michael ended their so-called relationship, America became a drunkard every night. Thinking that with alcohol's will she will be at peace and will be able to forget the sorrows she has been experiencing.

Rick has witnessed the hardship of his daughter from the day they broke up, up until now which made his plan to take his revenge on behalf of his daughter to Zoey.

"America, wash first before going to bed." Rick calmly says. He doesn't usually have his calm persona within him all except if he is talking to his child. He knew that America has grown up with a lack of love and care from her own mother, stepfather, and half-siblings. She has been an outsider all her life Rick doesn't want her to feel that even her own father will also despise her.

Although America rudely talks to him and treat him like trash, Rick still tried to make her feel that whatever way she decided to treat him, he will always be by her side, all the time.

"What do you know? No more! Leave me alone." America throws the first thing she grabbed on her side table and tries to aim her father at the door. Good thing that with the influence of alcohol and her bad eyesight Rick was left with no injuries after that.

"Okay, sleep if you please." He let it go and close her bedroom door and continue his cleaning mission before leaving her apartment.

But before he calls it a day that night, Rick heard his daughter crying inside her room. Eagerly wanted to check on her, he silently opened the door to see what was happening.

It was just America crying in her sleep while sleep talking. Rick already got used to it because she usually sleeps talk since she starts drowning herself with alcohol.

"Why? Why is it always her?"

"Am I not that lovable for you to choose me again."

"She is with someone else, please quit chasing her and start choosing me one more time."

"Michael, I really love you, please. I love you."

"You doesn't have to ask her to bear you a child, I can do it with for you."

Rick silently listens to all his daughter's cries. He as a father felt the sadness on her voice and her prayers that he will one day choose her again over that Zoey.

"She loves her boss, she will never return to you."

Rick got confused about America's last words. Does she love her boss? Does that mean that that slut and her overly confident COO are together?

One malicious thought entered his mind in an instance and now the next phase of his plans needs to roll up.
