MY FEELINGS

Christine POV

Weeks have passed, weeks became years. We are all grown up now, Daniel is living with my family but we did not adopt him, for he doesn’t want to. But my mother and father always treat him as part of our little family; he calls my mom and my dad an uncle. We are high schoolers and of course Daryl is still with me. He is like a brother to me, he always takes care of me whether I am sick or not, he always makes sure that I am doing great, when I am sad he will buy me some food, when I am about to cry he always makes me laugh. Daniel is the same. Once I go home he will take care of me like his little sister. I am glad to have a family like this. I am content to have them in my life. We are all happy and I wish we always stay like this forever, no pain, no sadness.

I am working a part time job. Sometimes I am a teller, sometimes I am a dog walker, I took care of them. Daniel is also doing part time to where I work he is a waiter, we always walk together when we are going to our job or when we are going to our home, we are not short of money my parents make sure of that, I have a piggy bank which I named Mr. Blue, it is color blue and I put a moving eyes on it, sometimes Daryl is bullying me whenever he saw Mr. Blue. At first my parents were hesitant to let me do a part time job, but in the end they accepted it since Daniel convinced them saying that he will also look for a job where I want to work. Daniel and I were quite convinced, in the end my parents agreed. Daryl doesn’t want to work because Aunty Michelle wants him to bond with his father.

Aunty Michelle will still visit me but not to play with me since I am all grown up, she will visit me to talk to my mom. One day I overheard her when she was crying that her husband has a stage two cancer, she said that Daryl doesn’t have any idea about this, and all their saving are being spent because of the treatment, all the money that was left was only for Daryl’s college tuition fee, her husband is suffering and yet her husband doesn’t want Daryl to know, I don’t get it, why they don’t want him to know he is their son, their only child. I feel bad for Aunty Michelle so I decided to work at the Cinema; I work at the ticket book while Daniel work at the snack bar, almost all of them thought that Daniel and I are a couple, it is really hard to explain that Daniel and I are not a couple in the end I just gave up, it is hard to explain something that they don’t want to believe in.

Daryl and I barely talk; I do not know if I should tell him what I have heard, but my mom talks to me out of it, she told me that it is not my story to tell which is true. Daniel asked me why I insist on getting another part time job when I have my hands full, I told him the truth. All my earnings from the cinema will go to my savings to help Aunty Michelle with her financial problem, it is not enough but I just hope this will help her family.

Daniel and I became close, so close that we both know each other’s secrets.

Daniel POV

Since the day that she saved me, my life has become beautiful. I want to wake up every morning to live my life to the fullest. I am with Christine, Daryl and I became close, the three of us became friends, and we all know each other’s secrets. I like Christine. I have to admit that to myself, I like her not as a sister, since the day that she saved me I want to be by her side, I want to see her happy, I want to see her eyes glitter with happiness even though I am not the person she likes. I know that she is talented and beautiful. There are dozens of boys that like her in our school. Sometimes others befriended Daryl and me in order to be close to her, but in the end they did not last. I know Daryl feels something for Christine; he just doesn’t want to admit it and I know Christine also feels the same to Daryl. This two are the brightest and the most stupid person that I ever met. They clearly like each other and yet no one has the gut to admit it. Sometimes I can hear rumors about them that those two are the golden couple of the school, Christine is our school bell and Daryl is her bright and shining armor prince. I also heard that sometimes Daryl threatens some boys who like Christine without her knowledge, well this is not a rumor because I was there when he threatened a boy who is chasing Christine like a stalker. My life for her is one sided . I have to admit that, but I know Daryl will love her and protect her in the future, these two are meant for each other. I just hope that Daryl will never hurt Christine, because if he did. I will be the one who will take her away from him; this girl deserves happiness and nothing else. I was on cloud nine when people often think that Christine and I are a couple, they think we are perfect for each other. I was already happy when I could see her happy and when I could see her eyes glitters with happiness it made me happier, that is why I never admit my true feelings to her, because once I admit it to her, everything will change.
