gan's POV
After talking with Dexter, I felt better. After all, I didn't want to keep it from him because I knew I could trust my brother. I learned he is the only one who understands in our family. Ava is still too young to understand my decision. And I hope she will never make the sa mistake I did.
As I lay in my bed, I turn to look at my sister's bed, and I suddenly miss Ava. I will be leaving tomorrow, and she will be back the next day. And I hate to go without saying goodbye to my younger sister, but this is the only thing I can do now. But I promise to co back and tell her everything when the ti is right. And I hope that she will understand why I have to leave her. I know I had been her idol growing up, and she was proud of .
I took my ti to prepare the last of my things because I have been bringing my things every ti I t Alice so that it wouldn't be so obvious. I know this is not because I felt so guilty about running away from my parents. But my dad's decision was so unfair, I will never give up my child, whatever happens, I know I made a mistake by loving Ashton, but it doesn't an I am going to abandon my child because of my misstep.
I looked at the clock, and I realized I would be having a hard ti because it was almost 9:00 p.m., but Gael didn't return my call, and I felt disappointed since he was the only one I think who could help , and now another dream shattered as I realized I couldn't sell my music at all. It was only a re fantasy for . I should get myself ready for the battle that I need to face, I am aware of how hard it would take to raise a child as a single mother, but I still believe miracles can happen every day. I should live my life full of hopes and always think positive so that good vibes will surround .
I put my song composition in my treasure box, and there is no way I will throw them. Those things are my collections, Ashton hurt , but I have to continue living my life. He was just a mistake. And I know I should leave all his mories behind, but I can't bring my old guitar because Ava will use it, and I realized I should bring the new one with . I don't care if it was his gift for . I know with or without the guitar, I will still rember him. I couldn't deny the fact that Ashton was my first and only love, and I don't think I am capable of loving again after what he had done to .
I took a cold shower, and I was about to cry, but I fought my tears, I know Alice had been telling to release the pain by crying, but I remained firm with my decision never to cry over Ashton ever again. Tears are only for the weak, and besides, he doesn't deserve my tears. I finished my shower at once and towel-dried myself, and I put on my pajamas. The mont I held the hairdryer, I rembered Ashton again because he always blowdries my hair. I shook my head and looked at the mirror on our cute vanity table, and I told myself never to let anyone blow dry my hair ever again because I could do it myself. How I wished I could simply erase his mories from my brain so I would stop thinking about him, but I know it is still fresh; that is why I can't stop my heart and brain from rembering him.
I lay on my bed, and I stood up again, and I recount the savings that I have. I withdrew the last amount of my savings yesterday, and I have already closed my bank account because I knew I had to leave Astikoz City. The only place I know, and now I will travel to another city where my future is uncertain, but knowing I have my baby with , everything will be okay.
I felt guilty that my child would never get the chance to et his father, and I would do everything I could to protect him from them. Well, it was only in my head because I am sure they will never acknowledge my child since I ca from a low-inco family.
I didn't realize I had dozed off when I heard the ringing of my phone. I wondered why Alice was calling , but when I looked on my screen it was an unknown number. I wondered who it could be, I stared at the phone for a long ti until it stopped ringing, and I almost jumped on my bed when it rang again, and I decided to answer the call thinking it could be an ergency.
"Hello, " I answered.
"Hello, is this Ms. gan Corteza?" A guy spoke on the other line, and his voice sounds so familiar because I always listen to his songs almost every day, and I can't stop myself from crying with happiness even if my heart is still in pain.
"Yes, this is gan speaking," I replied, and I could feel my knees felt so weak, and my legs were trembling.
"Hi, g, this is Gael, and I am so sorry if it took a long ti before I returned your call." He said, and I am now smiling from ear to ear.
"It is okay, Gael; I know how busy you are," I replied, and who could have thought I would be talking to my favorite singer.
"I didn't call you during the dayti because I don't want to be interrupted while talking with you. I have been waiting for your call, g." He said, And I smiled.
"Now that you call , it only ans you have decided to share your talent with us, right?" He asked, and I released a heavy sigh.
"Yes, and I need your help because I am leaving, Astikoz, Gael," I said, and I know Gael is my idol, and he is one of the most famous personalities all over the country.
"What? I am in Astikoz right now, g. Can we et?" He asked, and I didn't expect him to be here in Astikoz because artists usually have a residence in Majuscule, the capital city of our country.
"Maybe we can et up tomorrow before I go, or I can stay one more night," I said to him.
"Okay, I understand since it is already late. May I know where you are going?" He asked, and I released a heavy sigh.
"g, I can tell you are not fine. I know I am a stranger to you, and they say it is better to share your problems with strangers because you don't know them, and their opinions don't matter." He said, and I laughed, but before I realized it, I narrated everything to Gael, and he remained speechless for a long while, and I thought he had already ended the call.
"Wow, I am speechless, g, but I salute your decision and your determination to raise your child alone, and I am so proud of you for the decision you made. You are still young, but you maturely handle things, and I could say you are a good person." He said, and I felt so excited because I am one of his fans, and never in my wildest dream did I imagine myself confiding with him with my problems.
"Don't worry, g, I will help you. I want you to know I am not taking advantage of you now, and I will still help you even if you do not allow to sing your songs, especially now that I have decided to go solo." He said, and I couldn't believe he would tell such information.
"Of course, I already told you everything, and there is no turning back. I have written so many songs so far, and you can read them in person." I replied.
"Thank you, g, for trusting with your music, and one more thing, if you want, I have a property in galopre, a town next to Majuscule, no one is living there except the caretaker who will visit once in a while, it was a beautiful place away from the city life but will only take one hour and a half drive by bus because of the bus stops if you go to the city center and less than one hour by private car." He said, and I was dumbfounded.
"You can stay there for free, g, you just pay for the utilities, you can also use my car, and I would be so happy if you will stay there, g, I will usually visit there during weekends if I don't have a tour, or I don't have a show." He said, and I beca speechless.
"Really? But I will pay for the rent, Gael." I said.
"Okay, but you will only pay that mont your songs start earning; we still need to undergo the process, you know." He said, and I cried.
"Miracles can really happen," I said, and I didn't intend to say it aloud, but I couldn't control myself anymore.
"Of course, g, all you need is your faith." He responded.
"I will et you tomorrow; just text the address." He said, and I smiled, and I never felt so relieved my entire life.
"There is another thing I want to ask you, g." He said, and I suddenly felt nervous.
"What it is, Gael?" I asked
"Make sure I will be one of the godparents of your child.." He said, and I couldn't be happier as I said yes to him.
