Chapter 5 5

I was entering the Mansion when I suddenly saw Jernie looking angry and it came from inside. Even before he passed me, I grabbed his hand to stop him from walking

"What happened to you?" I asked her. Jernie patted my hand and sighed before answering me

"I talked to her, I said she wouldn't need to come to the Hearing but she insisted on going home. I didn't allow her because it was dangerous. we still don't know what connection his near kidnapping has to our case. She's under witness protection program, right? He can't leave this house." He said angrily.

I also thought, How long has it been since this house became Tracy's own kind of prison? He didn't enter the hospital for a few days. Fortunately, Dad is an investor in the hospital he worked for and I talked to its owner.

"We just have to understand her for now, she's been through a lot, thanks to this case." I say

"She's only thinking of herself. "Jernie suddenly left in front of me and drove his car away.

I carefully entered the interior, She is not here. I searched Upstairs and either the rooms are empty. I went down again and went to the Garden. when I saw him in the Pool sitting with his feet submerged there and I backed away.

Even if I didn't look at her face I knew she was crying. I heard her sobs but I stayed where I am.

"She's only thinking of herself, Because She was all alone. " I whispered to myself while staring at him.

*Flashback*

I watched as the ghostly woman marched out of the Convenient Store. I smiled watching the Window and see how he walks. Thinking about it, even a clueless person can be scared of her. she's the only girl I've ever seen like this.

This is outrageous. How does she continue her life as a woman?

I looked at the food he was eating next to me, Does he think I'm the one who will twist them?

Because I was just wasting time I stood up and took his mess. I stopped when I saw a Ballpen on the floor.

I took it and checked "Fountain Ballpen?" I promise. I saw the printed name on the Bottom part of it

'To Tracy'

Is it possible for him?

*End Of Flashback*

i felt sorry for her, maybe if i stopped her this wouldn't happen to her. If he was almost abducted and because of this case then I am the one to be blamed. I just ruined her life that is so pathetic and lonely.

tracy was all joyful and so funny to be with, But I don't understand why I feel this way now that I see her miserable.

My feet seemed to have a mind and they stepped out, Last thing I knew I was ver close to where she is. i think she felt my presence and she craned her back to me. He didn't expect me to be here, so he immediately wiped his tears

"Why is there an Avenger here again." I heard it said.

"24 Hours is the Avengers don't you know?" I just followed what he said

"That's why the swimming pool is dirty, you're crying." It stopped and looked at me angrily

"Just so you know my tears are cleaner than the water here."

"Do you want to go home?" Suddenly we both fell silent. Tracy didn't look at me and just bowed.

"This is not my house. It's not my life. I have a house but it's small and not as clean as this one. So, I call it a Home. It's not my house. I have a job, I'm a Nurse but I'm in jail me here." I felt her holding back her tears

"I just asked for a few hours to go out, Can't he say properly why he has to yell at me" she sounded like cursing.

I squatted down and grabbed his shoulder, "I know you're impatient, But you have to come here first. I'll promise to take you home once all of these are done. I promise." I don't know if she believes me or not. She didn't answer me and kept looking at me. I could see her swollen eyes.

"It's okay, what else can I do? This is my life. I'm unlucky. if all that hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't have worked at that hospital and I wouldn't have had problems with my livelihood. I'm the only one in life, I have so many problems."

"That defines Life. Life isn't as easy as sitting and relaxing yourself." I said so.

"They say, Life is like a wheel, Sometimes it's at the bottom, sometimes it's at the top. But if my life is really a wheel, I guess it doesn't move. I'm always at the bottom. No matter what I do, I can't feel the part of my life that is comfortable. I have always been sufferingI feel bad in my past life that's why I'm being punished. If this is a punishment, why doesn't he just take me?" I fell silent when his eyes filled with tears turned to me.

I thought she is not as emotional as this.

Although I know a part of her life...

*Flashback*

I have been playing with the Fountain Ballpen in my hand. How can I return it to that girl?

I saw the Play Button at the top, I don't know what prompted me to play this recording pen

Dear Diary, I'm going home to the Philippines, I'm afraid to know that what I was told about Carlo is true, Because Carlo loves me and he can't do that to me. Carlo and I will get married, that's our vow to each other'

'Dear Diary, I'm back in the Philippines, Carlo is gone. Even our savings are gone. The house I bought, He left me and has not yet paid. I don't know where to start again. It hurts. I only have Carlo and he's gone

'Dear Diary, I managed not to eat for a day. Is that an achievement? I've been here for a week but I haven't fixed my things yet. I don't know but I don't feel like getting up.. I don't know how many Load Cards I have. My phone is alive for almost 24 hrs a day. I kept calling Carlo. No response. I think he's blinock me.

After playing a few, I couldn't stop listening to it.

'Wahhhhhhh!!!!!' I immediately turned down the recorder when I heard a loud scream

'Tanginamo you fool! Shameless! Scourge! Earthquake Dracula! I wish you were bald! Phew!' After some cursing words I heard her sobs. I don't know how long she cried

'I loved you. I believe in your promises to me. At least three years!' I heard him scream.

*End Of Flashback*

"That is your life, and it's too early to say that." I stand.

"I know this is rude to say for this moment but..." I stopped when he suddenly got out of the pool and faced me

"You will not have somebody in your life unless you won't let go of what's hurting you"

"What if I don't?" This is a serious promise.

"You will live with that pain for the rest of your life." I said.

"Why you? You seemed so concerned about a lot of things but honestly speaking you don't have somebody."

"I have my family Tracy." I explain to him

"That how different we are. I don't have anything in my life Gab, All I have is my painful past and my not so clear future. If I let go all of them what will be left for me?"
