Nightmares’ Fairytale

Civil It is

*JHOZY'S POV

We stayed in that position just me crying and keep on saying that he should believe me while he is holding me.

Since that lying incident happen my nightmare worsen than it already is, I just want to make it stop and I think if he believe me it would. Or I just want him to believe me simply because that's what I want from him a bit of trust. But what is my fight against his beautiful girl right?

"Its fine, I can't tell you I believe you cause honestly Veronica is my girl and no matter what I'll believe her but because of this occurrences I am confused so let's just forget about that event and be civil what you think?" He suddenly says softly still holding me close to him.

And just like that I woke up. I distance myself from him. How can you be so stupid? Of course no matter what he'll believe her. She's his girlfriend for goodness sake! I told myself.

Taking a deep breath to calm myself I said" Its fine I know you will always believe her, and that's fine...civil it is. I am sorry for this inconvenience, I know you are tired from work you should take a rest and please forget about this." I told him before facing my back to him, hugging my blanket closer to my body before saying a goodnight to him. I pretended to be deep in sleep until I heard my door click, sign that he already left.

* STEEVE'S POV

Hurt. Disappointment. These two is what I saw on her eyes but she hides it with her smile, trying to convince that she is fine.

She turned around and say goodnight trying to make me think that she is asleep but I know better than that, to make her at ease I just left her room making her think that she fooled me.

What I said to her is the truth. I no longer know whom shall I believe, never did once she lied to me but so is Veronica.

With my mind tangled in confusion, I gone to bed and think the whole night about what should I do. Nevertheless, no solution came up to me but to put the accident into a past without any solution nor reason.

...

"Good morning" I greeted my parents as I came down stairs to eat breakfast with them. 

"Is she still not up?" I asked my parents, about to get up to wake up Jhozy when my mom stopped me with her hand on my wrist.

" no need son she already left, her friend Brandon picked her up with Ethan." She said. I don't know but I feel disappointed. I thought we are already fine, is she avoiding me? I was thinking this when I receive a text from Ethan. 

Hey this is Jhozelyn, I am sorry I don't run out of prepaid load that is why I borrowed Ethan's phone. Just want to let you know that Ethan and Donny would be picking me up from now on so you don't need to worry about me and you can pick up Veronica without worry :)

She texted with such enthusiasm, but I know her well now that its not how she really felt. It also bothered me that we were fiancee and yet I can't even properly do my responsibilities as one.

For the entire day I feel so irritated and I don't know why, to top of it all my entire drive with Veronica is a disaster. I cannot seem to concentrate on whatever she is saying, thus resulting into our senseless fight.

The moment I got to school I immediately finds Jhozy with BRANDON again! Laughing with him. Damm why can't she laugh like that around me? Right...cause I always make her mad.

I immediately came near them and cleared my thought to caught their attention.

"Lets talk for a while, Jhozy" She turned her attention to me and look at me in surprise. Well, what would I expect right? I never talk to her in school. But nonetheless she just replied a quick nod and excuse herself to Brandon, finally, and motioned for me to lead the way.

We kept on walking till be reach the schools garden and motioned her to sit beside me in one of the empty bench. Our school's garden is spectacular. There is a mini fountain in the middle of a grass-full lawn with bench chairs on the sides. There are trees and flowers between two benches circulating the entire garden area.

"Are you avoiding me? I thought we are already okay?" I directly asked while looking at her eyes. she is wearing a blue crap top partnered with high waist pants while her hair is in a ponytail. She looks elegantly beautiful.

"No, of course not. Of course were fine. Where did you even get that idea from?" She ask in disbelieve.

"Then why won't you want to ride with me anymore?" I am quite sure that there is a hint of sadness on my voice which I try hard not to express. I don't even know why I am talking about this to her seeing as what she done is for my advantage. I mean, I am supposed to be happy and not complaining.

*JHOZELYN'S POV

the hint of sadness on his voice did not go unrecognized to me. Honestly, I am even surprise that he would talk to me in school about this matter, I thought that he would be happy seeing I would not be a bother to them anymore.

"Is that what this is about? Look Steve, I will be prank with you. We may not be a real couple but still I am a woman who is your fiancee...it is awkward to ride with you in the same car as your GIRLFRIEND with me sitting at the back like some invisible hero." I replied to him calmly 

"It is Svan for you." He speaks.

"Huh?" I asked a little bit confuse... but deeply my heart is palpitating with excitement while hearing that nickname from his own mouth.

"Svan...call me Svan. You said we are already fine right? Then why don't you call be by your nickname for me anymore? " he stated a with a hint of loneliness?.. My gosh he looks cute... He can't look straight to my eyes as he speak those words while he is rubbing his right hand on his nape.

"But I thought you hate me calling you that?" I asked looking down.

"You win the bet after all , did you not? " he said looking at me straight to the eye... Indicating about the basketball bet we had...

"Okay then... Svan" I said smiling at him.
