Once Upon A Time, I Was Loved
Unknown Number
Ember passed the day with no smile, no laugh, no fun, no friends, nothing.
Ember passed the day without him.
She sat in front of a mirror inside her room as she stared at her reflection, asking her insecure self about all her flaws.
Suddenly, her phone beeped with a received message.
Unknown Number
The sun shines for a reason and the world turns for the same reason.
Unknown Number
For you to live.
Unknown Number
And for you to be happy.
She didn't know who the message was from.
But... the message fits her situation well.
Unknown Number
Ahhh, sorry.
Unknown Number
Wrong number.
Ember
Although it's not meant for me, thanks
Ember
It made sense nonetheless.
Ember
And brightened my mood.
Unknown Number
Is there something wrong?
Ember was again surprised.
Ember
The number isn't saved in my contact numbers
Boyfriend
Zion
Is something going on with Ember?
Scion
Don't ask about her.
Scion
Why do you even care?
Zion
And I don't care, just curious...
Zion
I mean not the kind of care that you're saying.
Zion
Wait, what kind of care are you even saying?!
Scion
Dude, stop being stupid
Zion
You are such a bad boyfriend
Zion
You don't even know if your girl has a problem or not!
Scion
How many times do I have to tell you that that girl and I are not together?
He realized what was wrong.
Zion
I just realized what it is.
Zion
You're such a bad boyfriend, dude.
Scion
How is being faithful to Arriane bad?
With that, the two ended their conversation.
And his brother didn't know what to say.
Goodbye, a Lie
Today is quite different.
Today, the day passed with good news reaching Ember.
Once again, there was finally something that made her smile again, something that made her happy again.
Something that awakened her lost emotions and made her feel alive again.
Something that ignited the embers left of her.
Brianna
I'll be home next week!
Ember smiled at what was flashing on the screen of her phone.
It was a really good news.
Brianna
Do you really think I'm going to joke about such a thing?
Ember
It's clearly not impossible.
Ember
I believe you, don't worry....
Ember
I'm gonna ask Mom if you can stay in our house for a few days...
Ember
Although I honestly think that there's no need for that.
Brianna
You really miss me, huh.
Ember
I'm pretty much alone here without you...
Brianna
I'm actually going there just for you.
Brianna
You're not gonna believe me again?
Ember
I told you, I believe you!
Brianna
Anyway, I still have to pack up!
Brianna
I have to say goodbye for now...
Ember winced at the sight of a certain word.
And now, she won't let that word get the better of her again.
Ember almost let out a smirk of victory.
That lie that can ruin even the strongest heart.
Because there was no such thing.
There will never be good with a bye.
