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.

Zero to One Hundred Real Quick

Zoey woke up on the bed with a blanket that was tacked her in, a glass of water on her bedside and a piece of sweet lullaby music playing across the room. After she lost her consciousness behind the door while shouting Michael's name, she doesn't remember anything anymore.

She checked herself under the sheet only to found out that it is not a new set of clothes that embraces her body. She timidly cries by herself when the door slowly opens.

"Zoey?" An old lady said as she slowly enters the room with a tray of porridge and a glass of hot cocoa. Zoey skeptically looked at the lady who walks slowly towards her. Never in her wildest imagination that Granny C will tolerate the craziness of her grandson.

"Hello, there to my favorite granddaughter in law." Granny C smiled wildly to the girl lying on the bed. "You knew this Granny? Zoey asked with mixed emotions.

Should she be happy that she wasn't completely alone with Michael and that she might help her escape or whether to be happy that maybe, but please, Granny C attended her needs from the start and not Michael?

"I know your hungry Zoey girl, here eat your porridge. I made it myself. Michael will be here any minute now." Granny C neglected Zoey's question of whether she knew all of this or not.

Michael is Granny C's favorite grandchild. She knew that he was just young and immature when he lost the love of his life when he cheated with her best friend. Zoey is also her favorite relative-in-law that is why she helped her grandson execute this abduction to make her realize that Michael is really the man for her.

Michael keeps his contact with his grandmother ever since he moved out of his paternal home. For him, it is always his granny that has his back from the beginning so he promised that he would never keep a secret from her.

Indeed her favorite grandson, because Granny C planned everything to make this young couple be together again.

Despite all the years that had passed, Granny reconnect with Zoey's grandmother to have an insight of all Zoey's activity since they started planning this abduction. Zoey's grandmother is oblivious of all her granddaughter's hardship under the Cortez lad.

Even though this information was all useless because what would a grandmother with dementia knows about her child's well being.

"Zoey considers this as a recreational vacation for you and Michael. You, young people, need to have time together to rebuild your love from one other." Granny C said as she set the table for Zoey.

'Craziness is real in their blood. Eh?'

"Don't worry. I would let anything happen to both of you." Granny C assured her that no one would ever find them.
