CHAPTER 11

Alexa was at the middle of putting her necessities in her bag when a door bell was heard.
"Hey" Sky greeted her.
"Hi"
"For you" Sky handed her a bouquet of flowers, Alexa gladly accepted them.
"Thank you" 
"Are you ready?" Sky asked.
"Uh yeah let me just get my bag" Sky nodded. Axela wore a simple black ripped jeans, paired with her black sneakers and a black shirt she also brought with her a small black sling bag.
Axela and Sky went to watch a movie but this was not in a typical movie theater Sky actually rented the whole theater just for the two of them.
"Shall we sit at the top of in the middle part?" Sky asked her.
"I think it's better if we sat at the middle part, for better viewing" Axela said, Sky nodded to show that he agreed to what Axela said.
They both sat and waited for the movie to start, both stayed silent for a few minutes when suddenly a man came to them and handed them Popcorn, Drinks, Chocolates and even burgers.
"I asked one of the employees to prepare food for us, they gave me VIP access to since I rented the whole theater" Sky said, Alexa nodded at him.
The movie started.
"You know what?" Axela caught Sky's attention in the middle of the movie.
"What?" Sky asked.
"You didn't have to rent the whole cinema Sky" Axela said.
"Axela, this is a date and I wanted us to get our privacy as we treasure this moment" Sky said.
"Treasure the moment?" Alexa asked.
"Yeah didn't you say to me before that if ever you have something that you really want to do that is to watch cinema, go to beaches, have picnics, and even get to go to concerts?" Axela was surprised it was not just their second time of going on dates they have gone multiple times and most times Sky would ask her about it, she was surprised that at each times Sky asked and she answers he remembered them.
"I added those to my bucket list, so one down more to go" Axela silently felt happy, she felt thankful.
As the movie progressed both watch silently and eat snacks.
Axela looked deep into the movie then she froze and slowly looked at her left hand resting on the arm of the chair.
On top of her hand was the soft hand of Sky. Her eyes slowly went to meet Sky's sweet gaze.
"Thank you for coming into my life" A wide smile appeared and this time Sky was really thankful, as time passes he slowly got used to Axela's emotions.
He could sometimes read her emotions by looking at her eyes because of that Sky has been having second thoughts about his plan.
"Does Gorge still come to your unit?" Sky suddenly asked.
"It has been a few weeks since Gorge has been there, his busy with family things" Axela said, Sky nodded with her answer.
"How about Jon, I haven't seen him for quite some time" Axela asked.
"Well that guys rarely shows himself to me as well after class, he said his looking for someone I asked him who was it but he said it was a secret" Sky said.
"It confuses me actually, both Dale and Jon have been acting quite weird lately" It confused Axela as well.
"Why do you say so?" Axela asked.
"I just have a feeling both are having somewhat a problem" Sky frowned his forehead as he said it to Axela. As they talked Axela could feel Sky's fingers slightly rubbed her fingers the tension she felt from the actions Sky did was so unexplainable to Axela it was not the first time she felt these tingles from Sky's touch.
An hour later and the movie has gone to its end, Sky's hand which was resting on top of Axela was now intertwined with Axela's hand. Axela on the other hand did not mind she actually felt comfortable with the feeling of Sky's hand held in her's.
Both went out of the cinema hand in hand. Sky just removed his hands when his phone rang.
"Wait a sec" Alexa nodded.
"Hello?" Sky moved a few inches away from Axela.
"Queenie, I'm on a date" Alexa heard Sky said.
"Okay I'll be home after dinner" Axela knew who Queenie was, since Sky talks about his family to her.
"Yeah, yeah. Tell mom I miss her" Axela was happy to hear that Sky was still family oriented even though he is almost at the right age.
"And dad too. Bye Queen" Sky went back close to her as he hang the phone down.
"Shall we have dinner?" Sky asked Axela.
"Let me guess, Galveston" Sky laughed to Axela's remarks.
"Right on track" Alexa slightly smiled as Sky dragged her towards the parking lot.
Both went to their current and only favorite restaurant Galveston staff are already familiar with who Axela was that's how many times they have.
"I ordered your favorite" Sky said. Sky can see sparkles in Axela's eyes as he said those words.
Sky have been noticing that these small gestures and actions actually important for Axela.
An hour later and Sky found himself looking out in his window at his parents' home.
He was deep in thoughts when suddenly a knock was heard.
"Come in" The door opened at and it revealed her sister Queenie.
"Hey" Sky said to her sister without looking at her.
"Hey" Queenie can sense her brother has a problem.
Queenie then went in his room and sat on his bed.
"So..." Sky looked at her.
"How was the date?" Queenie sounded excited.
"It went well" Queenie frowned.
"Is it good well, or a bad well?" Sky sighed and looked back out the window.
Queenie stood up and went close to her brother.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Queenie rubbed the shoulders of her brother.
"Nothing" As soon as Sky answered Queenie had a gut that Sky badly needed her help, advice wise. 
"Steven I know you, you can tell me anything you know that" Sky sighed again and looked back at his sister.
Queenie gave her an assuring smile.
"I'm doing such a horrible thing Queen" Sky confessed.
"What do you mean by that?" Queenie asked.
"I'm playing with someone's feelings" Sky said.
"Is she the girl you dated today?" Sky nodded.
"Do you like her?" Sky could not answer
"Steven look at me" Sky looked in to the eyes of his sister.
"Do you like her?" Sky looked down
"So you do?" Queenie wanted to confirm it yet Sky stayed quiet.
"Steven if you like her that how come do you say you are playing with her feelings?" Queenie asked
"Because she was supposed to be a tool Queen, I was just using her to get revenge on my greatest enemy who loves her so much. I thought it would be easy since she is so emotionless it would be a miracle to fall for her so I thought. But now as I get closer to her emotionless eyes always show me her true emotions. I don't know what to do Queen it's confusing me so much" Sky's forehead remained in a frown as he told his sister his thoughts.
"Steven you have only two choices, follow your pride or follow your heart" It made Sky think of it much deeper.
"I know your brain is in great confusion, you're fighting against your pride and heart" Queenie continued.
"Now think of this, what would hurt you most losing your pride? Or losing the woman you currently are thinking of?" Sky stayed quiet as he thought hard.
"I'll leave you alone now, think of it more good night" Queenie know his brother is smart so he'll leave him to think about his decision.
"Good night" Queenie left him still thinking.
Sky went to his desk and drank a bottle of cold water. Sky was still thinking when suddenly his phone lit up.
A messaged appear on his phone.
What you doing?
It was Britney, it has been a month since both of them have been secretly talking to each other.
The sight of Britney's name on his phone made it easier for him to decide.
It was final, and he hopes he does not regret his decision loving is all he needs and all he wants for now.
THE next day Axela went to school on time, as she was walking her way to her room Ina suddenly called her.
"Axela!" Axela looked back to see her catching her breath.
"What's wrong?" Axela asked.
"You need to look at this" Ina dragged her to the parking lot area of the school.
Just as they arrived Axela's eyes fixed to two person walking straight out from the parking lot.
Alexa did not want to feel anything from what she saw yet her heart was shattered in to small pieces seeing a man she though was the one.
"Axela" Axela heard Gorge's voice yet her eyes are still glued to the two person.
"We need to go" Gorge whispered in her ears, yet Axela could not move even a strand of hair.
"Axela, please" Gorge could not finish his sentence.
"Oh Gorge hi, I want you to meet my boyfriend" It was Britney she and Sky went close to Axela and Gorge, while Gorge was throwing sharp stares at Britney Axela's eyes went to Sky who could not even look into her eyes.
"I don't care Britney, let's go Axela" Gorge tried to drag Axela yet Britney held her hand.
"Where are you going sis? Does it hurt?" Axela stayed quiet for a while.
"Looks like this time sis you could not over throne me" Britney bragged and smiled.
"Nothing's in pain when I knew for myself I am innocent" Axela emotionlessly said.
"Oh really now, stop playing and being so strong we all know you are a fake" Britney said.
"Fake daughter, a fake friends, and a fake human being trying hard to get in to someone else shoes" Britney shouted.
"If I was trying to get hard into someone else's shoes then I would rather fall into the shoes of a homeless person than to be in the shoes of a useless daughter of theft" Axela said.
"What did you say?" Britney launched yet Axela stopped her.
"Don't you even dare or else you and your whole family with suffer the pain that I feel" As soon as Axela said it everyone were more than shocked to see a single drop of tear coming out of Alexa's eyes even if she still had her emotionless face.
Sky got rooted to where he was standing as he saw in Axela's eyes the pain of what he has done.
As soon as Axela quickly wiped her tear she turned her back at everyone leaving Gorge fuming in anger.
This is what Gorge hates the most seeing Axela cry and sad, because all her life Axela felt nothing but pain and misery.
"Harry pick me up at school ASAP" Axela needed to be away, she is angry.
"Yes my lady" Alexa hanged up and just continued walking until she found herself standing, waiting for Harry at the front gate of the school.
Meanwhile, Gorge launched to Sky and gave him a good punch to the face. Sky could not see it coming since his mind was still at the look of Axela getting hurt from what he did.
"I warned you Lopez, and look what you did" Gorge was being held now by his friends why Sky was sitting on the ground getting comfort form Britney. 
Gorge broke off from the hold of his friends and then walked away looking for Axela.
Alexa quickly got into the car when she saw Harry.
Harry can notice the change in Axela's breath as she went in, she was anxious and was catching her breath.
"My lady what's wrong?" Harry softly asked.
"Just drive Harry, to the safe house now" Harry can sense Axela was not in her mood so he quickly nodded and started driving.
Axela held her tears as they drove as fast as they could towards the safe house.
"Gina have you contact Axela?" Gorge quickly called his sister since Axela would not answer any of his calls.
"What's wrong?" Gina asked.
"Something happened here, Axela cried" As soon as Gina heard the work cried she was so worried of her friend.
"Okay I'll try calling her or Harry" Gina said in a hurry.
"Okay, tell me right away" Gorge said.
"Okay" Gina hang up on the call and tried her best contacting everyone who would lead to the knowledge of where Axela is at the moment.
"Axela where are you?" Gina was frustrated since not a single one of the persons she called knew where her friend was.
As soon as Axela arrived at the drive way of her safe house she went inside and said not a single word to Harry. The safe house was located 5 hours away from the City, it is a house made of hard concert and marbles so big and so strong, the house is also protected by hard high walls which also prevent anyone to see inside. In order for the house to be even more safer it can cast its own top cover which resist helicopters and other flying aircrafts to get a view of the whole property.
Harry followed inside, there he saw the only two caretakers of the house Jana and Maire.
"Where is she?" Harry asked. 
"Basement sir" Both answered because of that Harry gave of a deep sigh.
Harry slowly went to the basement, there he stumble upon an upset Axela.
Axela throw hard and strong punches to her punching bag, each punch Harry can feel the anger Axela had.
It went on for over an hour, Harry could not stop her because he knew that Axela had to let of her steam so he just waited for her to calm herself down. 
Axela let herself collapse after she let out her steam, Harry carried her and brought her to her room.
Harry creased the hair of Alexa, ever since Harry treats Axela just like his own daughter.
"Take rest now my lady" Harry then got out of the room and took his phone, there were more than a dozen calls from Gorge, Gina, and from Jenson.
"Hello" Harry called Gina.
"Harry where's Axii?" Gina felt relieved when Harry called.
"She's safe now" Harry said.
"Where Harry?" Gina was anxious to know where her friend was.
"It's best Miss Gina if you let her be for now she needs rest" Gina just gave of a sigh.
"Okay tell her I called okay" Gina said.
"Okay Miss, bye" As soon as the call ended Harry went to go and close the whole house which means he activated the top cover of the mansion.
LESS than an hour has passed as Harry was helping Jana and Marie cook for their dinner Axela woke up, she got down so slow.
"My lady sit down first, dinner will be served in a few minutes" Harry assured Axela, Axela just then nodded in a lazy way.
"Here Miss, we cooked your favorites" it was a combination of different dishes her yaya always cooked for her, not just any dish but a Filipino dishes called Humba it was cooked pork in a sweet sauce, Sinigang, Siomai and also Sardines mixed with egg.
"Thanks" Harry can hear that Axela was exhausted.
"Eat a lot after that you should rest" Harry said.
"I have already rested Harry besides I have somewhere to go later" Axela said.
"Axela, you're not yet okay just stay here and you don't need to worry I have already told Gina and the others that you are okay" Harry said.
"I'm not meeting up with them" That made Harry suspicious.
"Then who are you going to meet up with?" Harry takes care of Axela he is always worried of the young girl. 
"I'm gonna be okay Harry, I promise" Harry closed his eyes shut and took a deep sigh before nodding.
"I promise your parents I will protect you no matter what, life is not as complicated than you think Axela you just need to trust others that's why I trust you when you say you'll be okay" Harry said, Axela stood up and hugged Harry.
"You're already my second father Harry and it would pain me if you would blame yourself when something happens to me" Axela said.
"Text me you location, and don't worry I won't tell Gina and the others" Axela felt assured after what he said and nodded at him.
Axela was determined to fix everything, in order for her heart to stay intact and heal from the pain she has been feeling.
It is hard for her to set aside her pride in order to set her feelings free but she is willing to take chances right now.
