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.

Where is she?

When Lisa, Sweet and Shane got exhausted from dancing they decided to return to their room. Seeing an empty room, at first, they thought that maybe after peeing Zoey followed them into the dance floor.

When their other friends returned Lisa asks one of them "Did you see Zoey on the floor?" The friend she asked shook her head in negative. "I thought she was with you guys," One friend said.

They started to panic when none of them knew where Zoey was. Given that they were in a bar and men there were all under the influence of alcohol, they were afraid that maybe some perverted man took Zoey away and started taking advantage of her, who was also intoxicated from the rum she drank.

"The last thing she said was that she was going to the comfort room. I'll go and check that area. As for the rest of you, some should try to find her and some should stay here and take care of Shane." Sweet instructed.

Shane was already sleeping on the couch and was oblivious of the happenings around her.

Some of her friends searched the first floor, comfort rooms and other rooms on the second floor. A few moments later, everyone gathered again after their search. Sweet felt an unexplainable fear within her heart. If something really happened to her friend, it would be all her fault. She was already blaming herself for not paying attention to Zoey. "Zoey just got back here. She has got no idea of anything here" One friend started to indirectly blame Sweet. Majority of them thought that it was really Sweet's fault for leaving one of them behind after letting her drink seven glasses of alcohol.

"Nothing will happen even if you guys blame each other. Let's split the group again and ask some staff to get involved. We cannot let Zoey be in danger."

They split themselves into two groups consisting of six members each. Shane, who was sleeping as well as the friend who was taking care of Shane, obviously could not join the search.

The first group was led by Sweet; they were deeply checking the first floor and dance floor. The second group led by Lisa was searching the second floor and some VIP rooms. They also asked the management to check and find where Zoey was through their CCTV.

Amidst the outside's commotion, the man inside the room was staring intensely at Zoey. He already asked one of the waiters to get him a clean blanket to cover the girl. He was afraid that she would get cold after being exposed to low temperature.

While examining every part of her features, he secretly took a picture of her angelic face. He didn't ever imagine that after knowing her for such a long time, there will be a chance to be with her like this.

This guy's photography skill was so amazing that he got a very beautiful photo out of a very simple scenario. The photo he took was a portrait of a girl who's sleeping soundly, her long lashes perfectly curved up her eyelid, her lips were slightly open as if she was breathing through her mouth, her cheeks were naturally rosy, and they became even more pinkish due to the alcohol she drunk, some strands of her mermaid curly hair were loose and fell on her snow-white flawless face.

The entire photo is so perfect that no can says that it was just randomly shot by him.

After taking her picture the guy immediately posted it on his Instagram account and added a caption saying, 'What should I do to make this angel mine?'

A few moments after posting the photo, his fans promptly flooded his post with comments such as, 'Idol, who is she??', 'Does our God Photographer fell in love with an Angel of Beauty?', 'Show more pictures of our Goddess'. He chuckles after reading one commentator calling Zoey his Goddess.

He created this account a long ago. He just randomly created it when it was a mainstream trend six years ago. He had thought that maybe he could post some pictures that he took casually in his day to day life so that the photos will not be rotting in vain in his phone.

And with his renowned skill in photography, he gathered a million followers after just one year of creating the account.

He named his account as '@whereisshe'. It was actually wordplay with the letter that has a similar sound with her. His account doesn't follow anyone and nobody knows the owner's real identity.

Back to the two groups that were searching for their missing friend. One waiter approached Lisa who was about to open the door of their room. "Miss Lisa I think we found where Miss Zoey went." said the waiter. Hearing this Lisa followed the waiter inside the control room, she also messaged her friends that she was in the control room after the waiter informed her about the whereabouts of Zoey.

The waiter said, "After Miss Zoey returned from the comfort room, she entered your room then exited after a few minutes." Watching the CCTV footage, Lisa felt guilty for her leaving Zoey because she was swaying while walking and going back to their room. She also used the walls to support herself while walking.

"After exiting your room she then entered the next door," the waiter told Lisa. Lisa furrowed 'Why would Zoey enter another room?'
