MariGold's POV
“Eliza, stop buying too much of these movies. You're wasting money” I said as Eliza wouldn't stop selecting films
“they're not movies dumb dumb. They're seasons of one drama. Six seasons and I'm buying all of them” she replied
“are you gonna have time to watch everything? You're gonna spend most of your time helping your mother out”
“I can watch it every night when we're back from the shop”
I rolled my eyes and looked through the collected of movies. I won't be going to Aunty Denny. She's a nightmare that I wouldn't want to repeat. Simon has already gone back to her hometown so it's gonna be me and me. Eliza has promised to always visit me though, every weekend.
“hold this for me Mari. I need to use the restroom here” she said and gave me the seasons of her so called drama.
I continued to look through the movies and my eyes caught sight of one with Will's picture on it. The title was You Only. I picked it up
“how much is this?” I asked the man selling
“it's just twenty peso ma'am. It's quite lovely to watch” he said and I nodded. I paid him and put it in my bag.

The telephone rang and I picked it up
hey Mari, you won't believe this
what is it?
your aunty is now dating Pacquiao
what!
unbelievable right? My mom just told me today, she said they've been together for about a month now
she just wants to ruin her life with drugs
she's already ruining it. She looks so skinny and pale and weightless. You need to see the way she moves
OH God. What has she gotten herself into? This is bad
well, I hope they break up for her own good
I hope so too
well goodbye. I'll call you later, my mom is coming and she doesn't want me near her phone anymore
hahaha, bye Eliza
bye Mari
I dropped the phone and sat up on the bed. So aunty Denny has decided to start following the number one drug dealer in Tondo? That's too dangerous for her. He has lots of enemies and besides that, the drugs are going to ruin her.
I sighed and shook my head. I picked up the magazine I was going through and looked through the pages I had already gone through.
Today is just boring
I closed the book and stepped out of the bed. I look through my window and saw that the sky was pitch black, no stars at all.
I decided to go and watch TV and that was when I remembered that I bought a movie. I rushed to my bag and pulled it out
“yes!” I screamed and ran to the living room. I brought out the DVD player and inserted the disc then hastily sat on the couch.
“I need candy” I said and stood up then ran to my room, I grabbed the bag of chocolates and ran back to the living room.
I sat watching the movie for two hours and I was finding it interesting. Will was an arrogant guy who was fighting for a girl with two other arrogant guys. Three different arrogant guys over a girl. They didn't actually love her, they made a bet as friends to get her but along the way, they began to hate each other and tried to dispose themselves. Well, Will fell in love with the girl and bla bla bla
“Benedicta I love you... I know I'm arrogant and stubborn and crazy and whatever it is you wanna call me. It's all true. But I want you to know that I truly love you. I love you and only you” that was Wilbur telling that to the girl
Somehow I got pissed off and stood up
“shut up! You said you love me! Now you're telling that to another girl!” I yelled at the television
I crossed my arms and stared at the TV. A knock came on the door and I wondered who it was. Should be Will, he said he was gonna check on me this week.
Will
She opened the door and I smiled at her
“hey” I hailed
“come in” she said and I entered
“what are you up to?” I asked as she closed the door
”television” she replied and I looked at the TV
Oh she's watching You Only?
“nice movie” she said and looked at the TV.
The next scene was awkward. I was kissing that girl.
I bit my lower lip and looked at her and she was smirking at me
