H.U.R.T
Rooms

Steve sees the room. There's really nothing interesting there. However, he was like returning to 14 years ago where he used to spend his time in the room. The study desk is still there. Lexi's walking desk on her 16th birthday.

You can't refuse it, I'm saving for this, and since you're the one who's going to receive my gift, I was forced to buy a table that was a little cheap because I knew you wouldn't be willing to accept expensive furniture. As your thanks, you should remember me every time you study. Only when studying, no problem for me.

Uh! Steve would never forget Lexi's words back then. A table that is a little cheap he said, can actually buy 100 good study tables according to Steven's version at the time.

His books are still there, too. Well-organized. Obsolete but not dusty at all. This room is always cleaned. On the table there is also a photo frame. The photo of Lexi he secretly took while the girl was asleep, as they studied together. In the past, he always hid the photo in his book sheet. Who put it in the figura?

Steve's gaze shifted from the study table. Unconsciously he stopped breathing when he saw a small bed with a mattress that was not comfortable to occupy. However, the bedding explains that Lexi often slept there. Pink sheets with cherry blossom motifs. Why are the bed and bed not replaced?

Only a fool doesn't know the answer and Steve is certainly not a fool. Lexi wants everything about Steven Percy alive.

Steve took his foot closer to the bed. He landed his ass there. Holy hooch! He couldn't imagine Lexi sleeping there. The mattress is very thin, making sleep uncomfortable.

Next to the bed, there is a wardrobe. It seemed like the only thing that was replaced in his room was the closet. He remembered that if his wardrobe used to be weathered, his legs began to be eaten by termites and there was no cover. He wondered what was in the closet. He would bet that his old clothes would still be there. For God's sake, behind the bedroom door, Steve even saw his school bag still hanging sweetly, parallel to Lexi's expensive bag.

Steve returned to his eyes, his heart warmed as he looked at the simple mirror hanging in one of the corners near the window. There's some Lexi's cosmetics. This room is like the room of the two of them.

"I told you, this room won't be able to be occupied!"

Lexi stepped wide and pulled Steve a little rough to get out of bed. The girl cleared the man's buttocks from there. Lexi tidied the bed back up.

"This is Steven's room, you should know your limits, Ivarez!"

"You sleep here?"

"Besides Steven's room, this is also my room! Then what's the problem if I sleep here?"

"The mattress is getting weathered."

"Yes. But it's warm enough."

"Warm?"

"I feel like I'm being hugged. Holy hooch! Stop talking about my ex-boyfriend. I don't want you jealous of the spirits. And behold! My face always shines every time I remember it."

My situation now is even worse than being jealous of a spirit, Lexi. I am jealous of myself!

"What makes you so crazy about her?"

"Eitherway. I can't explain. Come outside. I feel like a shameless wife."

"You mean?"

"This is our private room." Lexi hit her arm a little strongly. The girl's face flushed again and Steve pu sillyly felt her blood rustling violently. Our private rooms. Uh! Sounds very intimate. Steve liked. Likes intimacy between her and Lexi.

"And I brought another man in. Holy hooch! So bad of me!"

"Oh my God, your words almost choked me."

"Come on Ivarez, get out of this room right away. You can't occupy it. You're the man I'm gonna be in a relationship with. I don't want our relationship to feel awkward if Steven is always among us. I wouldn't be able to be your natural lover if there were things around that reminded me of Steven. I'll feel like a traitorous woman."

"That means, I'll sleep in the guest room with you."

"I'll sleep here and you'll be there."

"Ck! What's the point of staying overnight if you sleep apart."

"What did you expect?"

"Sleep while hugging you."

Lexi spontaneously smothered Steve's mouth with her hands.

"What did you say?! Holy hooch! You want Steven to hear that?"

Steve lowered Lexi's hand from her mouth, "If she heard it, she wouldn't be able to do anything, Lexi. What could he do?"

"Yes, you're right. She also would not be jealous and caring," Lexi let out a long sigh. "Is Mom and Dad still here?"

"You want to meet them?"

Lexi shook her head. He wanted to meet them but he was not ready either. Seeing his family, he will automatically remember Austin. Where's that guy? How's things going? Lexi wanted to know why Austin would do such a shameful thing to her. It's just that he's not ready to listen to his worst answer yet. Remembering what happened between him and Austin made his body tremble.

"You're cold?"

Steve's touch on his shoulder made him flinch. Lexi looked up, finding the worried highlight of the man's bead.

"Aren't you really going to leave me no matter what?"

"Of course" Steve answered quickly.

"Whatever happened?"

"Whatever happens." Steve parroted in a more assertive tone.

"So I'm going to see Mom and Dad, do you want to be with me?"

"While I'm lazy to meet Pax Willson, I'll keep you company. Are you gonna live there?"

"I haven't thought about it."

_____

Olivia visits her father and sister. Both are having dinner.

"Good night," he said hello.

Mr. Phyllida did not reply, the middle-aged man continued to eat without poking at his daughter. To be precise, he avoided eye contact with Olivia.

"How are you, Alea?" Olivia rubbed her sister's head gently.

"good. Exceptionally well. You gonna stay the night?"

Olivia nodded, "Yes, I'll stay the night. You missing me?"

"Yes. We're gonna play before we go to bed?"

"Of course."

The chair was pulled roughly, making the two women startle and simultaneously turn to the source of the voice.

Mr. Phyllida ran away from the dinner table without spending her dinner.

"You haven't finished your meal yet, Dad."

Olivia's words stopped Mr. Phyllide. "I'm not feeling any more."

Olivia laughs, she knows why her father left. Mr. Phyllida is the first to realize what happened to Olivia when she accidentally discovered the spell book.

Olivia and her father had a big fight that day until this moment, her father was reluctant to talk to her and reluctant to be around her. His father was anti-self.

"When are you like this? Silence me like I'm not your daughter?"

"Do you really want to hear my answer?" Mr. Phyllida lowered his head, hiding his grim face.

"I did this just to teach them a lesson! To those who have desecrated me, to those who also desecrated Oleshia even killed her. So what can you do to defend your family? You just shut up and surrender like a fool! And after I tried everything my way, you turned your face away from me, Dad."

"You're not my daughter. You are a monster who can do terrible things even to your own mother."
