Chapter 1: Prologue
It's raining again.
The memories we had still lingered in my head every time it rains.
It still hurts me.
It still haunts me.
Fuck that rain! What a nuisance it is! I looked at my watch to see what time is it and it's already 9 in the evening. Gosh! I left the clinic around 7 PM and I'm still here! Stuck in the traffic!
My phone caught my attention when someone message me. It was from Lexie!
From: Lexie
I have a photoshoot on Wednesday! I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow, okay?
I immediately replied.
To: Lexie
Make an appointment with my secretary Ms. Chavez. Ask her if I'm available tomorrow.
From: Lexie
Hey Ms. Javier! Did you already forget? I'm the one who raised you? I'm the one who stayed with you when everyone left you? How dare you treat me like that?!
To: Lexie
Chill! I'm just kidding Lexie, your words are too much hahaha go to my clinic anytime! Anywhere!
After a long drive, I can finally relax my body. I feel like my whole body aches. I had so much work today. How I miss my bed so much. If it's only possible to quit my job and become jobless, I will do it. But I can't, because I have so much expenses and I love expensive things hahaha. I miss my student life where I don't have much responsibilities, home works and projects are my only problem. How I wish I could go back before. I was about to sleep when my phone vibrates again. It was a message from Dana.
From: Dana
Girl! I have news for you! You'll be shocked for sure!
To: Dana
What? Are you pregnant?
From: Dana
The fuck?! I don't have plans yet!
To: Dana
Then spill the tea girl hahaha
From: Dana
I saw Skyler today and he was with a girl and a baby
To: Dana
It's not him
From: Dana
I'm sure! It's him!
To: Dana
Well, I don't care. It's him or not. I'm happy for him.
From: Dana
Are you okay?
To: Dana
Yeah, I'm okay
Actually.
I'm not.
I'm not okay.
I'm not happy.
I'm still here feeling miserable.
If it's true, good for him. He finally found his peace. I'm kinda jealous.
Then here I am feeling hopeless. I'm not saying that I'm still hoping for a second chance. It just disappoints me that I thought he will keep pursuing me. But, I'm wrong.
I thought I'm your 'The One? Hahaha, that's bullshit.

I woke up so early in the morning to go to work because Lexie made an appointment with me. I'm the only one who she wants to touch her face. She doesn't have trust in any other dermatologist here in the clinic.
"Good morning Dr. Javier, Ms. Chavez is already here," my assistant said
"Alright, thank you" I replied then I went straight to the waiting area
"You're late," Lexie said
"You know I'm always stuck in the traffic even though I woke up early. Wait for me, I'll just prepare myself " I replied
I changed my outfit into a scrub suit and I already told my assistant to prepare the things that I needed.
"Your skin improved a lot, it looks healthy," I said while cleaning her face
"Of course! You are the one who's taking care of my skin. Only Summer touches my skin, who touches yours? Hahaha," She playfully said while imitating the commercial of Dra. Vicky Belo, a famous Dermatologist in the Philippines.
"Consider yourself lucky because I'm Summer, the famous and prettiest dermatologist," I said then she laughed
"Don't laugh, you'll get wrinkles" she stops laughing
"Summer, you know" She said in a serious tone. She looks hesitant.
"What?"
"I think I saw Skyler," she said seriously
"How can you be so sure?"
"He really looks like him"
"Let's not talk about him. I already moved on. I'm already happy and satisfied in my life. "
"Alright.."
Why do my friends are talking about him? It's true, I don't care. I don't want to reminisce the memories of pain that happened to me. He's now part of my past. A past that needs to be buried. What's the point of reminiscing? No matter how much you worry about the past, there is nothing you can do to change and make it right.
After the session, Lexie left immediately. She told me that she has another appointment. She didn't even pay, Gosh!
I was about to sit down when my assistant came into my office.
"Dr. Javier, you have a client waiting outside," she said
"Is she scheduled for today?" I asked
"No Doctor, she just wants to have a consultation with you today "
"Is Dr. Aya not around?"
"Dr. Aya is already here but, the client wants to have her consultation with you"
"Alright, tell her just wait for a while"
Why am I in demand today? It looks like I will get rich here hahaha.
I put on lipstick and fixed my hair before I went outside. Who knows if there is a handsome boy waiting for me in the waiting area.
I went to the waiting area and saw a man who's standing facing backward talking to a woman.
"Dr. Javier is already here," my assistant said then the man slowly looks back at me.
My heartbeat skips for a bit.
I can't even move.
I feel like I became stoned in my position. My heart beats faster as if I'd seen a ghost.
"Good morning Dr. Javier," He said in a serious tone.
"Dr. Javier?" He arched a sly brow
"O-oh Good morning. How may I help you?" I asked when I regained my consciousness.
"Not for me, for her," He said then he makes a way so I can see the woman behind him.
"Hi Dr. Javier" she smiled at me.
I can't help but my eyes burned with hatred.
So, it's true.
You are back.
You haven't changed at all.
I didn't know you are with that bitch.
That bitch you told me not to worry about.
