'Lisa, I'm leaving now; I knocked on your door, but I believe you were asleep, so I decided to write this instead. I prepared dinner for you. Have your meal and go to bed early; don’t hold off for me since I’ll arrive late tonight.

Alright.........

I had nothing to express, yet I also didn't want to eat. I headed to my room and cleaned my sweaty body since I sprinted to meet him. I let out a sigh recalling the kiss that Jane placed on him.

I was sure that girl would surely kiss Believe, which is why I kissed him first; I didn't want Jane to have that as her first kiss, but what if they end up sleeping together tonight?

Believe mentioned that he will arrive late this evening.

NO.

I don’t want him to be with her. I was unable to hold back my tears due to the pain and fear I am experiencing at this moment.

I exited the bathroom and took a seat on the bed. I'm not concerned about time, but I will wait until he arrives home. I remained in my room and felt frightened as I was alone in this large house. I checked the clock and saw it was 9:00 p.m.; just three hours to go, yet I'll wait for him. I skipped eating and didn’t even go downstairs. I simply waited for him.

It seemed like a century, and at times it felt as if time had come to a halt. I continued glancing at the clock, and now it's 12:00 a.m.; it's midnight, yet he hasn't arrived. Is he alongside Jane?

Are they engaging in sexual activity? My brain was shouting with those inquiries. Once more, tears welled up in my eyes because the pain is overwhelming. I held myself responsible for expressing my emotions to him. If I hadn’t informed him, he would never side with Jane.

I checked the clock once more and saw it was 2:00 a.m. I'm simply waiting for him, and it's been 8 hours, but he still isn't back. I was unable to hold back my tears. I feared being alone in this house and was also afraid of losing him... why did this occur to me?

Why?

After countless hours, I heard the sound of the door opening; I realized he has finally returned. It was 3:30 a.m. already; I dried my tears and lay down on the bed. I truly did not wish to see him. He did this intentionally since he was aware of my deep love for him and that I would certainly wait for him.

I dried my tears, yet they continued to flow from my eyes. I no longer care, so he returned, and I’m going to sleep now. I shut my eyes to rest, but I heard a knock on my door.

"Lisa, didn’t you eat dinner?" "I prepared it for you." I listened to Believe's shattered voice. I truly felt upset due to his words, yet he showed no sorrow for me; that's why he didn't arrive sooner. He was aware that I fear the night, but still he remained outside. I hid my face with my bedsheet and remained silent.

"Lisa, I can tell you aren't asleep." "Just tell me... why didn't you have anything to eat?" I didn’t have anything to eat because I couldn’t eat without you, yet you stayed out all night, Believe. I felt like screaming and striking him, but I made myself stay composed.

"Okay then, sleep well." Believe spoke once more. He was injured. I sensed it through his voice, yet I was also hurt because I witnessed him smiling at Jane and noticed how she kissed his cheek.

Tears once more welled up in my eyes..... I shouldn't weep since he's my brother, and this isn't how I should feel, yet my heart, my emotions, everything has turned against me and loved my own brother.

I got up in the morning and my head was hurting because I went to bed too late the night before. I visited the restroom, cleaned my teeth, and took a shower. Once I was done, I got dressed for school. But I recalled...Ugh...Shoot, today is Saturday... I overlooked it. I undressed once more, put on something comfortable, and headed downstairs. I noticed that Aunt Mirian has returned and she has made breakfast.

"Good morning, young lady," Aunty Mirian was a kind woman; I truly appreciated her smile.

"Good morning, Aunt Mirian." "How is your holiday?" I inquired while taking a seat.

"Alright.. would you like to join me next time?" My eyes brightened as she mentioned that, and I promptly nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I desire." I was aware that her village was incredibly lovely and had numerous waterfalls and forests, so I really wanted to visit.

"Alright... oh, good morning, young sir." Aunt Mirian remarked when Believe arrived and took a seat. I recalled the hurt from yesterday and how Believe remained with Jane, so I truly didn't want to encounter him; I bent my head down and began to eat.

"Good morning Aunt Mirian." I listened to Believe speak, and Aunt Mirian apologized and headed to the kitchen. I didn't glance at Believe, yet I sensed he was gazing at me, but suddenly, no one spoke. My phone went off, I pulled it from my pocket and checked the number, but it was unfamiliar.

"Hi," I picked up the phone and said.

"Hey Lisa, it's Jake here." The boy that requested I become his girlfriend a few weeks back?

"Hey, how's it going?" I inquired with a grin if it was due to him being a genuinely nice person.

"I saw your brother and Jane yesterday, Lisa." I believe they went to see the new film, but you weren't present, so I'm asking if we can go watch it tonight. "Is it alright if you have seen it before?" Yes, my brother was present, but not alongside me. Tears filled my eyes as I recalled once more how he smiled at Jane. Is this guy inviting me to go out and see it with him? Sure, why not? Believe accompanied Jane, so why can't I simply go with Jake and I should also aim to spend time with a guy.

"Of course, I'll be there." "What time would you like me to arrive?" I inquired.

"Mm." "5:30 PM?" Jake inquired as I could sense his smile over the phone. "Alright.." 17:30 hours. "Catch you later." With that, I ended the call. I sensed Believe's stare at me, but I kept on eating.

"Who was it that called you?" Believe unexpectedly spoke up. I really didn't intend to respond to him, but that's not my style, so I replied.

"Jake." I avoided looking at Believe's face as I didn’t wish to see him. Heartless individual.

"Are you dating him?" Believe's voice sounded a bit strained, but I'm certain he wouldn't mind if I stayed out all night.

"Yeah," I replied with a nod.

"No... you should to be home before 4:00 in the evening." Suddenly, Believe spoke, his tone carrying an unusual intensity. Isn't it better if I don't go in? But for what reason?

"It's fine, I'll head home once I finish the film." I remarked after I completed my breakfast.

"Film?" "Lisa, I informed you that I'm accompanying you to see that film today." Why is he acting in front of me? Certainly, I'm confident he is unaware that I spotted him with Jane.

"Believe, I doubt that you have much interest in Beauty and the Beast to view it a second time." Anyway, isn't that a Disney film? "I recall that you’re not fond of watching those princess films." I gazed at him. His eyes reddened when I spoke, yet he was unaware of the pain it caused me to accept that he had seen my favorite film with that insufferable Jane. I was the person who requested him to accompany me initially, but he opted for Jane

"Lisa...I." Believe attempted to speak, but I prevented him.

"It's all right, Believe." "I'm okay with it." With that, I stood up to go, but Believe also stood and approached me.

"Stay with me, I'll get you there." Believe looked down at me as he spoke. I would certainly feel pleased if he mentioned that prior to watching the movie with Jane, but he actually went with her.

"Believe, it's unnecessary." "I prefer not to go with someone who's seen it before." My heart aches and I felt like crying, but I smiled at him.
