Chapter 79: Chapter 79

Vanessa Taylor's Pov.

I imagined I was Alyana, walking down the altar towards Stephen...

"That should be me, holding your hand." I looked at Camille who was here next to me

"That should be me, making you laugh

That should be me, this is so sad." his song made me laugh softly.

I know if he's hitting on me with those lyrics.

"That should be me

That should be me

That should be me, feeling your kiss

That should be me, buying you gifts."

"Stop it Camille." calm when I stop him but he continues so I just let it go.

"This is so wrong

I can't go on

Till you believe

That should be me

That should be me." I held my chest and held my breath.

'Not now please, not now.' over and over again in my mind.

I just sit down because my legs are weak.

"Why is your skin turning purple? What kind of makeup are you using?" This is a question for me.

"A-Ah, b-just a limited edition... maybe you can't buy that." When I was bragging and I heard him tsk. I rubbed my eyes because my vision seemed to be blurry.

_

"John can you take a picture of us, the three of us, Alyana and Stephen." I'm begging him.

"I was ordered tsk, okay." He shrugged and took a picture of us.

"Alyana and I." I promise.

"Stephen and I are done." I said and he did it.

"Ah--"

"Wait, you're getting too much Vanessa!" he said a little annoyed but I just smiled at him.

"Lastly, I would like the six of us."

"Eh, who won't take a picture with us?"

I taught father.

"Could it be father?"

"Oh, he's fine, no problem with me."

Alyana is here on my right side then Camille is on my left side, Flyn is next to Camille, Alyana is next to Stephen and John is on Stephen's side.

"1,2,3 smiles." I smiled widely.

"A-Alyana thank you."

"Nothing, do you have anything else to say?" he wondered.

"Uhm, what... I'm leaving tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, can I be with S-Stephen, just the two of us, don't worry, it's just for a while, I won't do anything to worry you."

"Where are you going?"

"Don only in a quiet place, fresh air..."

"Okay, go ahead." I couldn't help but cry while staring at Alyana. Why are you so kind Alyana, you shouldn't trust me anymore because of what I did to you.

"Why are you crying again Vanessa, you seem to have a tendency to cry. Is that your hubby?" He wiped my tears, I just laughed at his question.

"I'm really going to cry, to be honest, I just look brave but I'm also afraid of something." I said and smiled.

_

Stephen Wilson's Pov.

"Where are we going Vanessa?" I asked him, I was just following his every step.

I really don't want Alyana to come along if she is forced.

"Just here, we'll just sit while watching the sunset." He said staring at the sun that had already set, we are here at the beach now.

he sat on the sand and looked at me. "Sit next to me." I noticed that her skin seems to be changing color, her lips are pale, especially if she doesn't wear makeup.

"Are you sure you don't have a fever?" I looked at him carefully.

"I'm fine, don't worry." he smiled at me.

"I'm not worried, don't assume." I heard him laugh.

"It's like you're infected when I'm lying down." I sat next to him and suddenly he leaned his head on my shoulder.

"Vanessa!"

"P-Please...I have nothing else to do S-Stephen."

"J-Just like this," he held my hand and looked only at the setting sun.

If only Alyana was here, what would she think now?

I took my hand back and was about to stand up but he suddenly spoke so I stopped.

"I'm... I'm going to die soon Stephen and this is my only wish, to be with you even for a little while..."

I don't know if he's just saying that so I won't leave his side.

"What are you talking about Vanessa?" He frowned when asked but he didn't answer, instead he leaned his head on my shoulder again.

"Stephen,"

"Hmm?"

"That... do you remember the promise you made to me before?"

"Promise? oh, that's right, I'll marry you and then we'll start a family..." I stopped when I heard him sob.

"Do you remember our 1st anniversary, you gave me.... what was that again?" I heard him ask softly to himself.

Why does he seem to forget?

"I gave you chocolates and roses."

"A-Ah, yes that's right."

I frowned, I didn't give him roses but tulip flowers, that's his favorite. Also, it's just flowers without chocolate because I forgot to buy it.

"What is your favorite flower again?" I asked him, he held his head.

"Ohh, I can't... I forgot! What is that?"

"It's tulip Vanessa." He nodded.

I held his hand and looked at his arm.

"What are you doing Stephen?"

"I'm just checking if you're really okay, you haven't been acting normal since day one Vanessa. Tell me what's going on with you?!"

"U-Go home, Alyana and your son are waiting for you." He said without even looking at me.

"Vanessa?"

"I need to go, okay bye." He stood up and I saw that his knees were shaking as if he couldn't stand properly so I supported him.

"Does anything hurt?"

"No, it's just that my foot is shaking." This is a quick answer.

"I'll bring you to you,"

"No thanks, I can do it."

***

"How are you two walking?" Alyana asked when I arrived.

"Weird." None of my own words.

"Huh?"

"Nothing, have you eaten Alyana?"

"Ahm, I'm not waiting for you yet." I held his cheek and lightly pinched it.

"You should eat even if I'm not here."

"Eh, I'd like to be together." He frowned so I kissed him smack on the lips.

"Hey guys, your eyes hurt!" We looked at Alyana's brother.

"Kuya Keil, you're still awake." Alyana promised.

"Tsk, tsk, next time, look closely to see if anyone is around, my girlfriend and I just broke up and I'll see you like this here!" Shaking his head, he entered the room again.

Is it our fault that he is single? You're just really bitter.

Alyana and I ate then went to the room. Manang Daley is okay, he is now at mommy's house and my house is empty because I am here for the time being.

_

"Stephen! Stephen!" I felt someone shaking my shoulder.

"Your whole family is here!!"

_

Alyana Perez's Pov.

When I opened my eyes, I heard something outside.

Why do I hear different voices?

I rubbed my eyes and looked at Stephen, drooling again so I laughed.

I didn't wake him up, I left the room and rubbed my eyes again. I was surprised to see you people here inside.

"Good morning!" I almost fell when I saw Stephen's mommy and his daddy...

I blinked because Stephen's whole family was here. It's like there's a birthday party or some other occasion because it's crowded inside our house.

"G-Good morning everyone." I greeted and waved at him.

"Wahh, Alyana is beautiful!"

"She's still awake, how about when she and Kuya Stephen get married."

"Heheh I'll wake up Stephen first." I said and quickly entered the room, holding my chest because I was so nervous.

I shook his shoulder.

"Stephen! Stephen!"

you're stupid, you don't want to wake up! I think you want me to strangle you.

"Your whole family is here!!" I shouted at him and he quickly opened his eyes.

"What??" See if his eyes widen. He quickly got up and held my hand.

"Oh, you're already awake, Alyana actually woke up earlier than you."

"Ah, my sleep was so good mom." Stephen put his hand on his neck.

"Come here first, let's talk about the wedding."

It seems that Stephen's mommy is even more excited than me.

"Mom let's eat first, Alyana is hungry." Stephen's language.

I see you brothers who look heated here inside the house.

"Would you like us to go outside first? You can bring your table over there, we don't have air conditioning here." I promise.

"It's okay Alyana, I'm sorry we're just not used to the heat."

Stephen's siblings are really good and kind, inherit from their daddy and mommy.

I noticed that mom was the only one not here, she seems to be sleeping.

"Mom's sister?" I asked Sis Kelly who was busy preparing what we could eat.

"He doesn't want to go out yet. He's going to sleep first because his head hurts a bit." This answer made me nod.
