What About Love? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Jeyah's POVAll their attention was set on me as I came inside the party venue. I noticed my group mates sitting near the entrance door, probably waiting for my arrival. My gaze landed on Darren's eyes, and I was already melting. I felt so conscious when they were all looking at me as if I were the VIP of this occasion, especially when my friends approached me with a grinning face."Jeyah, bubs! It's good to see you!" Clarisse exclaimed and hugged me."We're glad you're here, bubs, and we are now complete!" Angela softly chuckled and gave me a hug as well, while others gave me a high five."You look so pretty, bubs," Karen complimented."Thank you!""The birthday celebrant is there!" Angela spoke while looking in Darren's direction. And again, my heart was beating so fast when our eyes met. But I need to conceal what I truly feel and act normally. Though I was nervous, I need to approach him to give my birthday greetings."Hi bubs, happy birthday! I'm sorry I'm late!" I said and gave

Jeyah's POV "Bubs! Where have you been? Are you okay?", Clarisse asked, as soon as I went back to the party venue. "Bubs, are you crying?", Angela queried while looking at me intently. "Darren was looking for you awhile ago, bubs. Have you seen each other?", Eduard spoke, while sipping a glass of wine. My other group mates were just silent while waiting for my answer. "Uhm, I went to the rooftop to catch some air and yes, Darren and I met there.", I responded trying to sound natural even if deep inside I am already hurting. A few minutes later, I saw Darren and Bridgette entering the hall. Bridgette just walked straight towards the table in the front and just smirked at me when she passed by at our table. I immediately averted my gaze when I noticed that Darren was staring at me. He doesn't even know how much I've tried to control myself not to burst out in tears. I just kept my eyes on them as Bridgette was a having a chitchat with his mom. After a while, Bridgette stood up and

Jeyah's POVNo matter how much I wanted to close my eyes, I really could not sleep. Bridgette had ruined my mood. She only called me at this late hour just to tell me that she and Darren were already dating. The hell I care!I jumped out of bed and went to my music room. I wanted to be relieved from what I'm feeling right now, so I need the healing power of music. I was also thinking it's been a while since I haven't done live streaming. After setting up everything, I started my audio live stream. In just a matter of seconds, I already had plenty of viewers who were actually my avid fans and supporters. They told me in the chat how they missed my live stream. It was actually overwhelming on my part to receive such messages. I thought nobody would visit my live stream since I haven't done live streaming for two months already. Some of them asked me to reveal my face but I just told them it's not yet the right time. Well, in the first place, I was not doing a live stream for popularity

Jeyah's POVIt was already noontime, and I already felt very hungry, especially since I hadn't taken a heavy breakfast. Right after my class in my major subject, I went to the library to borrow some books, but I enjoyed reading, and I did not notice it was already twelve o'clock."Bubs, my stomach is already rumbling. Let's have our lunch now," Clarrise whispered in my ear, which made me startled. I didn't notice her when she came in. She chuckled upon seeing my reaction, and all I could do was pinch the side of her torso."Ouch, sorry, bubs," she laughed even more.I smiled while glaring at her. Then, together we went out of the library. As usual, we headed towards the school cafeteria. I saw from afar our groupmates, who were already there, waving at us."Hi guys, sorry we're late," Clarrise said and pulled a chair."Hello, bubs. Well, we thought you would not be taking your lunch," Angela spoke.I looked at Darren, who was just silent as if he was not in a good mood. I know there's

Darren's POV"What about love? What about feeling..." Jeyah hit the chorus, and it was perfectly sung.I didn't even notice I was already teary-eyed as I listened to her. Who would have thought that the woman I admired online was the same woman I had fallen for?"Hey dude, are you okay?" Eduard tapped my shoulder."Yes, I'm fine, dude," I said, my eyes still on Jeyah."He is not fine, bubs. He is in love!" Angela butted in. "Especially now that he finally sees in person the woman he admired on a livestreaming platform.""What a coincidence! The 'Jewel' you admired online is our friend, and she's been with us all this time," Eduard spoke in disbelief. "And in fairness, she has a lovely voice, dude.""Umm, yeah... she is good at singing. She has a sweet voice that touches one's soul," I said."Maybe...it's time to tell her how you feel, bubs," Andrew spoke.I was stunned into silence. Even before knowing that she was "Jewel," I really had wanted to confess to her, but I was thinking abo
