Chapter 6: Angel Hope Cortez

Angel's PoV

After what Miko did. I still feel my heart beating. I was really surprised by Autumn's scream but I was even more surprised by Miko's reaction to Autumn's scream. Anyway, the First time I saw Mr.Arrogant to laugh out loud. He even held his stomach as if he could see all the funny things in the world in Autumn. With that thought, I felt a little bit of jealousy. He laughed because of Autumn. But NO it is impossible. what if he laughed?What if he really likes Autumn? I can only imagine that but I'm feeling sad. But never mind, Autumn is really a good buddy of mine.

What are you thinking Angel! You're being Delusional. Stop overthinking. You're just friends. All of you are just friends.

"A penny for your thoughts? Your spacing out Angel."

Autumn asked softly. she's been talking for a while but I can't notice her because my brain is busy with Miko. Don't get me wrong ahh. That arrogant man is really bothering my mind. It's been 2 weeks since that incident but he still teases me and sometimes even calls me baby. That Miko is really crazy.

"I always notice you. do you have a problem? You know you can share it with your best buddy" Autumn said smiling.

"No, I'm okay, I'm just thinking. What is it again?

"Hayy I said, Daddy wants us to have a vacation. he's been asking for suggestions since 3 weeks to go it will be vacation. Can you think of a good place?

"Ah Eh am I with you?"

"Of course! You've been with us we're family right! ". Turns out Autumn said.

Hihihi my best buddy is really cute, Miko will soon like her. Hay Miko again.

"About a place, maybe it would be better if we were just stay here in the Philippines first. It's always in another country. What if in El Nido Palawa or Batanes? "

"You know what, I think we are really twins. Im wondering if we go to El nido Palawan. We really have the same thoughts hihihi. "

I smiled at what she said.If you are wondering why I am always with them on vacation. Im already living with them. My parents already died. Our house burned down. I'm the one who survives. I'm just 8 years old that time. So I went to them because of Autumn. She saves me from the grief. I was on a cliff at that time and willing to jump. Familiar scenario right? Exactly how I saved Miko. Same scenario. But Autumn saved me. she even gave me candy then. I cannot believe that an 8-year-old girl will attempt to jump off the cliff. Autumn is really a superhero. We talked just like how friends do. I told her everything. I saw the sympathy in her. After talking with her. she took me to his house. I was Stunned because of the size of their house. Away from our house. When Autumn introduced me to her parent. They were rich I was afraid they might kick me out. I was so dirty at that time. But instead of pushing me away. They hugged me. I feellike Mrs. Buenavista is my mom's hug. Autumn and Mr. also came and hugged. They dressed me, fed me, and treated me like a child. I'm really thankful to them because I saw a new family. They are the richest yet they are very humble. And with that, I promise to work hard and study hard.

I have a part-time job. But it didn't take long either because my godparents stopped me (which is Mr. and Mrs. Buenavista. I call them godparents because godparents are the 2nd parents. So that's what I call them. They want me to call them mommy and daddy. But I insist on that. They found out that I worked part-time at a coffee shop. My godfather stopped me because I didn't need to have that problem. I'm really ashamed of them so I decided to take a part-time job. they helped me. I don't know how to pay them. They even decided to legally adopt me. And they did. I am legally their child. But I still carry my real parents surname. They respected my decision. They love me equally as they love Autumn. They give me everything even if I don't ask for it. They even pamper me. I was given a room and everything that Autumn has, I have. And Autumn, She is the greatest blessing that ever comes to me. We are happy even though we are the only two we have our own world. We have our own separate world. Even when we're home together, there's not a day left for the things we want to do. Sometimes we even get scolded because of our noise hahaha. I really love my Autumn. I'm not a lesbian . I love her because he is my sister. And of course, I need to do it because of my godmother's request.

FLASHBACK.

"Angel, I know you want to repay. But I will just ask for something. Even if this is the only wish. " I'm nervous. Will they send me away? Can't I be with my best buddy anymore?"What is that?ninang ?."Please protect our Autumn. Love her as your real sister. Please be with her until the end. I mean, I know that the time will come when you want to have your own family. But please, as long as you haven't been able to settle down, please don't forget my daughter. " I was nervous there.

I know what that is. I'm confused by what my mother is saying but before she said that I already decided to be with Autumn and be her sister and best buddy.

"Don't worry ninang, no matter what happens I won't leave Autumn. everyone who fights her i will fight back ". I said it with a smile. Autumn is my Lifesaver. If I had to be in danger just to keep her safe I would. But she won't be ruined, will she?"Thank you Angel. I'm sorry .. We only have Autumn. We don't want her to disappear ".When I hear that, I sense that something is really off. I'm confused is anyone threatening Autumn?

But I promise myself that no matter what happens I will not leave Autumn.
