Heaven's POV

My tears fell as soon as I closed the front door, the moment that I dreaded the most already happened. She already found out my secret and I know who told her that.

I'll kill you David.

I cursed as I walked away still crying, I don't know where to go.

I don't know how long I'm walking but I ended up on Maggie's front door. I pressed the doorbell continuously until she opened it.

"The heck, what's the problem?" She asked me anxiously the moment she opened the door. My eyes were sore, I walked passed her and sat on her couch.

"Heaven---" she's about to talk again but I lifted my hand to tell her to shut up.

"Do you have whisky?" She nodded and walked to her kitchen immediately. I leaned my back on the couch and closed my eyes.

You're in love with your own brother! You disgust me! If I could just turn back the time I won't let you touch me! I won't even touch you because you fucking disgust me?!!

It hurts so much whenever I remember what she said, she didn't even gave me a chance to explain myself.

"Here" she poured the whisky on the glass and gave it to me, I opened my eyes and reached for it. I emptied it in an instant and took another shot.

"I assume Mischa already found out" she said then sat beside me.

"Yeah and she threw me out" I said flatly.

"Did you ride a cab?" I frowned when she asked me that.

"No"

"Seriously you walked from Mischa's condominium to here? That's far" I didn't notice that before.

"Well that's what broken hearted people can do" I said sadly. She shook her head while tapping my shoulders to comfort me.

"She's so unfair. She hurt me many times before but I accepted all of it because I love her. But me? I lied because I want her to notice me, because I fucking love her. This is so unfair, she's so unfair" I said as I let my tears fall down. She leaned closer to hug me.

"Heaven love is naturally unfair. Let's just say she doesn't love you enough to bypass what you did" I didn't respond, I just kept on crying. Maggie was right, actually she's always right.

If I could just turn back time as well I wouldn't cross the pedestrian lane so that I won't see her crying and passing by. My stupidity led me to this, I let myself be hurt.

"I just wanna die" I said before retreating from our hug.

"Don't be stupid. That's just love" she said while poking my forehead.

"I know but it hurts so much. Every word that she said hurts like hell"

"David told her I'm sure of it" I added while gritting my teeth.

"Can't blame him, but I think it's the right time that she found out the truth" I gave her a questioning look. She sighed before speaking.

"Heaven. The truth hurts for a while but a lie hurts forever. At least she already knows it and I believe that time could heal the pain that she's experiencing right now and vice versa" she explained gently. I understand her but again it hurts so much.

"She said she learned to love me but she didn't even gave me a chance to explain my side. She's close minded" I said then wiped my tears using my baggy shirt. On the other hand it's a good thing that I wore my shorts before she came home, I don't like to be kicked out of her house wearing just my undies. The thought of it made me smile somehow.

"People always confuse infatuation as love Heaven, in Mischa's case I think she's one of those" she paused.

"She refused to listen because she's mad, she felt betrayed. It hurts for now but everything's gonna be fine but you just have to be patient" she said gently. I don't know what I'm gonna do if I don't have a friend like her.

"Thank you Maggie for everything, is it okay if I sleep here for tonight?" I asked her sobbing.

"Of course, you're welcome to stay here for as long as you want" she said then kissed me on my right cheek.

"I'm gonna fix the bed okay? Just relax" she said before standing up. I reached for the remote and turned on her music player. I took a shot before closing my eyes, the band that's been playing is very soothing, I didn't know that Maggie was a fan of Band of Horses.

"No one's gonna love you more than I do....hmmm" I sang with the song.

I hate you Heaven Anderson. I will never forgive you!

"Why can't I hate you too...why do I fucking love you?" I muttered sadly.

•••••

I'm not ready to go home yet so I decided to live with Maggie for a while, she lets me borrow her clothes and other necessities, it's been a week now and I still haven't saw Mischa though I know that she's coming to school.

Maggie and I are heading to our building when we saw her together with her friends hanging around at the entrance. My heart skipped a beat, I suddenly became nervous. I stopped and faced Maggie.

"What?" She asked me frowning.

"Mischa" I said while pointing to the entrance of the building.

"So what? Just pretend that she's a ghost" she said then grabbed my arm and started walking fast.

"Hey Heaven! How are you?" Michelle greeted me, I glanced to Mischa but she's talking to one of her friends. She's really ignoring me, I tried calling her many times but she blocked me. I'm not even allowed to enter inside the building of her condominium, she really wants me out of her life.

"I'm fine" I said and smiled simply as we walked passed them.

"Weeew, awkward" Maggie teased me while poking my arm using her elbow.

"At least she's mad to both me and David. That's fair enough" I said hastily.

"Are you sure? What if she forgives David? After all he's the one who told her the truth"

"I hope she won't" I said sadly.

"He's her boyfriend in case you forgot and she loves him. What would you do if they're still dating?" She asked me non-stop.

"I don't know Maggie and I don't want to talk about it" I said dismissing the topic before we entered our class. I don't know what I would do to David if what Maggie said was true. Mischa looks fine and gorgeous now it's a sad thing to know that she doesn't seem affected. I missed touching and kissing her.

I flinched when the bell rang, I didn't notice the time because I'm busy thinking of her.

"Heaven we have a meeting for the upcoming theatre play" the student org president reminded me as soon as I got out of classroom.

I bid goodbye to Maggie, she stopped me from attending at first because she knew that Mischa would be there but I told her that it'll be fine.

All of the members were already there when I arrived. I searched for an empty chair and my eyes landed beside Mischa, that's the only one left.

"Heaven, sit down now we have to start" the president said. I obliged immediately, our shoulders touched when I sat down, the feeling of her warm skin made me smile, her perfume makes me want to kiss her now.

Fudge, I really miss her. I said mentally. I'm hurt when she moved her chair away from me, it's like I have a disease.

"I gathered you all here because we have to make props for the upcoming theatre play of tourism department" the president started.

"We have to start now. Group yourselves into four then I'll give you the task"

"Heaven!" Michelle called me, I know she's gonna invite me to group with them but Mischa stopped her.

"Why do I feel out of place now?" I asked myself sighing.

"Uh, Heaven do you wanna group with us?" Cynthia asked me, I smiled and nodded hastily.

The task that was given to my group is quite easy, we just have to draw an outline of sceneries that the actors will use on the actual play.

I'm done after an hour, I can go home but I decided to stay because I want to talk to her. I found her sitting on the corner alone, she's busy cutting the letters.

"Do you need help?" I asked her smiling. She didn't even bother to glance at me. I sighed and decided to sit in front of her.

"Mischa, I know it's not the right time but please. Can we talk?" I picked the spare scissor and started cutting the letter M.

"Aren't you talking now" she said coldly.

"What I mean is, uh... I don't know how to start" she snorted.

"I can't believe you're having a hard time lying now" she said then grabbed the letter that I'm cutting.

"Get lost. If it's possible can you withdraw yourself from the student org council? I can't stand to see you" she said casually.

"You know I can't do that" I said hastily.

"Of course you can, you're Heaven Anderson. You even created a website, just create another lie and then voila, you're out of here" she sneered.

Patience Heaven, you need her forgiveness. I reminded myself. I opened my mouth to say something when she spoke again.

"Now you're living with Maggie, you're such a great actress. I wonder what lies you invented. Oh I forgot she likes you, she must be really happy because she's now your rebound---" she was interrupted because I slammed my hand on the wood parquet.

"Maggie has nothing to do with this, she's out of the picture and I have no intention of making her my rebound" I said annoyed.

"Oh really? Then why don't you just go home. Whoa now I remember, Your King is waiting for you at home" she faked an ecstatic tone.

"You should go home and continue doing your filthy acts with your brother and stop bothering me" she said then snatched the scissor on my hand.

"Ouch" I exclaimed in pain as the blood flows down the floor. I'm holding the edge of the scissor when she snatched it away so it cut my finger.

"Fudge" I groaned in pain. I looked at her and waited for her to tend me but she just smirked at me.

"Serves you right, that's not even enough" she said then stood up leaving me alone in pain.

I threw my bag on the couch as soon as I arrived at Maggie's apartment. I was about to remove my uniform there when someone coughed.

"King" I said frowning, he's standing on the door frame of the kitchen.

"You haven't changed, you're just gonna remove your clothes anywhere without thinking if someone's around" he said chuckling while heading to me, I ignored him and continued removing my uniform.

"Where's Maggie?" I asked him flatly.

"She's in the kitchen, making some food" he said then picked the clothes that I threw on the floor.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I sit comfortably on the couch beside him.

"I'm fetching you" he said simply while folding my uniform neatly. His habit of taking care of me and my things hasn't changed.

"What makes you think I'm coming home with you?" I asked while raising my brow.

"Because I know what happened" he said then stood up and went somewhere. He came back with a shirt on his hand and gave it to me.

"Wear this, it's cold" he commanded which I obliged.

"Who told you?" I asked him with a blank expression.

"It's obvious, you won't stay here for a week if you're good with Mischa" he explained politely. I snorted.

"I won't go home, I don't like the people living there" I said pouting.

"Ven, mom missed you so much, dad as well"

"Liar" I said hastily.

"You don't have a choice but to go home. Your plan was already busted and it's not good that you're staying here with Maggie"

"Why?" I asked him curiously.

"Because you've been away for a long time, our relatives are starting to be worried especially aunt Ysabelle, remember she has a high-blood" I suddenly missed my favourite aunt. I'm her favourite of all her nieces.

He's right I'm starting to be a bother to Maggie though I know that she's not complaining. I should go home now since I have nothing to hide to Mischa.

"I guess you're right" I said sighing heavily.

"But I have to tell this to Maggie" I said and about to stand up when he stopped me.

"I already told her, I explained everything while we're waiting for you" I shook my head gently.

"That's not enough, just wait here" I said before heading to the kitchen. She's busy cooking while humming a song, I smiled because she looked cute wearing her violet apron. If I could just avert my feelings to her I'd do it right. She didn't notice me so I walked closer and hugged her from her back.

"Heaven" she said startled, I didn't respond. I just savoured the feeling of hugging her from her back.

"Maggie thanks for helping me out when I'm in need" I said sincerely.

"Of course I'll help you, what are you saying" she said nervously.

"I need to come home now. I don't wanna be a burden to you and I want you to know that I'm happy that you're my friend" I released her back and turned her to face me. I gave her a peck on the lips and hugged her tight once again.

"Okay enough of the drama, what are you cooking?" I said changing the awkward atmosphere, she's completely shocked that I kissed her so I took the spatula and continued sauteing the pork. When I go home I'll be back to my old lifestyle, the Heaven before Mischa came to my life.

•_•

"Heaven baby! I'm glad you're safe!" Mom welcomed me with a tight hug. I hugged her back though I'm not in the mood.

"Where have you been huh?" She asked me while sobbing.

"You don't know?" I asked her frowning. She retreated from our hug and looked at me seriously.

"So it's true? You stayed at Mischa's house?"

"David already knew and he didn't tell us. He waited until Alfonse have you investigated" she stated.

"Oh" was all I said. Nothing's changed in the house since I left seven months ago. It's still the same boring big house with our big family picture in the centre wall of the living room.

"I'm gonna take a rest" I said and about to walk to my room when dad appeared.

"So you came home at last" he said frowning.

Obviously...I replied mentally.

I ignored him and started walking again.

"You're lucky Mischa is a very nice girl. She treated you like her sister"

Yeah like her little sister. I sneered mentally.

"What's your problem dad?" I asked him annoyed.

"You're the problem! You stayed in Mischa's house for months. You fooled her. What would she think when she found out that you're David's sister huh?" He's angry now.

"She already found out that's why I'm here. David told her everything, she kicked me out of her house and she's mad as hell" I said while rolling my eyes.

"It's your fault! I'm sure Mischa's mad at David as well! Of all the people why did you chose your brother's girlfriend huh?" I massaged my forehead in annoyance.

"I found Mischa first. David just appeared all of a sudden then courted her. She's supposed to be mine. She's my girlfriend" I said while gritting my teeth.

"What are you saying!?" He asked me confused while his arms on his waist.

"The reason I left is because I love her! I found her first. David was the one who got in the way. You should be scolding him not me!" I argued like a child.

"Heaven Anderson! Since when did you became a lesbian huh? I never raised you as that! Mischa is David's girlfriend so stop saying such things. Stop playing games to all of us!" He said pointing at me sharply.

"Dad relax. Ven is just tired, let's just continue this discussion tomorrow" King said while tapping dad's shoulder.

"No King, your sister crossed the line. This is too much" he said sternly.

"I should've just thrown you in Europe as well if I just knew that you'll be like this" he added angrily. I snorted and faced him.

"Yeah if it's not for your selfishness I might not end up being like this" I said sarcastically. My mom's eyes widen in shock.

"Heaven baby stop answering back to your father" Mom said anxiously.

"Isn't it the truth mom? If you all didn't threw King to Europe to stop our relationship then maybe I won't end up being like this, I won't end up bei--"

"Heaven! Shut it. Go to your room!" I flinched when King yelled interrupting me. I looked at him sharply before walking away.

"I don't want to come back here in the first place!" I yelled while stomping my feet on the floor. I removed my pants and bra then threw it on the floor. My eyes widen when I saw Mischa's umbrella hanging on my ceiling. I displayed it there one year and seven months ago. I walked closer to touch it. It's the only memory that's left of me from her. She really hates me now.

"Ven" King said after knocking at my door. I didn't respond so he entered after a few seconds of waiting.

"Ven I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you" he said then sat on my bed. I glanced at him for a while before walking to my fridge. It's full of yogurts and Yakult.

"Yeah right" I said as I open the cover of the Yakult that I took from the fridge. I sat on my mini couch facing him.

"You shouldn't answer back to dad like that" I rolled my eyes at him. Now he's preaching me.

"You're not the pope so stop preaching me. I just told him the truth, Mischa was mine before David came in the picture" I said irritably.

"Ven, they have the rights to be mad. You left without saying anything" I snorted.

"As if they care. All they think about is their money and reputation" I said hastily.

"That's not true" he defended.

"Stop defending them!" I said then threw the bottle of the Yakult on him. His reflexes are good so he dodged it easily.

"Are you still mad at them because they threw me to Europe? If that so... I'm here now, I won't leave again" he said then stood up and sat beside me.

"Two years ago that's the reason, but now it's different. Everything now is about Mischa" I said flatly.

"Mischa, Mischa, Mischa! Ven can you please stop saying her name? It's starting to sound annoying" he said then grasped my right hand. I raised my brow at him while waiting to what he's gonna say next.

"I'm here now. I can help you forget her" I smirked and snatched my hand away.

"You can't even defend me to our parents. All you do is follow what they told you to do. You left me and I will never forget that, you're still the same. You say sweet things when our parents are not around but when they do you're back to being just my brother" I said feeling hurt.

"Just give me a second chance Ven" he said while looking at me intently.

"So you're applying as what? A rebound?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Ven. I know I still have a place in your heart, just let me help you mend your broken heart. I love you still Ven, it didn't fade through the years" he said then caressed my cheek, his hand is so warm and soothing. I closed my eyes to savour the feeling, somehow what he said made me feel at ease and comfortable.

Then our lips touched, once again I felt a tingling sensation. He pulled me closer and kissed me harder. I'm enjoying what he's doing but I pushed him away when we heard a knock.

Fudge it's wrong. My mind said hastily.

"King, Heaven please come out and eat with us" mom said while still knocking at my door.

"Okay mom" King responded smirking. He stood up and grabbed my waist closer to him.

"You kissed me back and you moaned" he teased me. I pushed him away but he's strong. He chuckled and released my waist but he grasped my face and gave me a peck on my lips.

"I really missed having you here in our house, my days gonna be brighter now" he didn't gave me a chance to respond because he pushed me outside of my room until we reached the dining area.

"Where's David?" King said frowning.

"He's having dinner with the client" mom replied simply. I'm
