James POV

For 3 weeks I’ve been trying to apologize to Ann. I’ve been courting her all over again sending her flowers, apology letters, emails, text, call, I even serenade her , name it I’ve done it but nothing seems to work. I know I hurt her, terribly I might add but I can’t let her go, I can’t give up on her ,I love her too much to let this little misunderstanding took the only person I love. My Ann.

For 3 weeks I cried myself to sleep. My friends tell me that I should just give her time to think. But isn’t 3 painful weeks enough for us to be separated. I love her so much and I hate myself for making her suffer like this, to be hurt, to be broken. I know I sound like a love sick puppy but I am. I missed my Ann too much, her touch, her scent, her hugs and kisses. Everything that reminds me of her makes me want to shatter into million pieces.

I even tried drinking to forget the pain even just for once but nothing seems to work I just get drunk one night and be totally sick the next. I know now my only cure is my princess, My Ann. I almost got kicked out of the basketball team because I can’t focus during practice. Most of all I hate to see her sad, our project together was even neglected and we both failed but I don’t care I just want my Ann back. But she keeps ignoring me. So I just get tired one day, I let her rest from the pain, so I quietly leave her alone but watch her from the distance making sure she was safe. Now I sound like a stalker but who cares even were not together I still and forever will love her.

Today I decided to drink again but with some boys this time for being alone just made me feel a lot worst. I called Ryan and Bret to join me and surprisingly they agreed. But instead of me getting drunk they ended up drunk and me still wide awake, cleaning after their mess as I feel again lonely and incomplete.

As I sat down on the sofa staring at the door and wishing or more like praying that Ann will open the door and welcoming me back to her arms.

When I was about to doze off, the door opened and came in Ann with Tricia

“Lord thank you for making my wish come true” I said and smiled and I close my eyes

Ann's POV

We came to James house and we were surprise to see Ryan and Bret and James sleeping soundly at the living room.

“Have they been drinking” I asked Tricia

“I swear both of you are miserable without each other” She answered with a slight chuckle as I gave her a glare

“Tricia this isn’t funny “I said as she stop laughing silently

“Yes it is, you guys should make up 3 weeks ago but NO…If haven’t found out that my sister is the one that cause all this ,you’ll be still at home crying your heart out, I swear if I ever see her , I’ll give her a piece of my mind.” She said as I went closer to James to check him

“Thanks Tricia, I really owe it to you, to finally give James a chance to explain everything, but I don’t think he needs to do that” I said as I look at my sleeping James

“We’ll I’m glad you finally gave in, I really happy I became friends with you, don’t worry about my sister I think I can Handle her, just be happy with James Okay” She said

“Yes I will be Happy with My James “ I said as I went near James face hoping that he could hear me

“Well I guess you two should talk tomorrow, don’t worry I’ll go with you, if you want”

“Yeah I guess you’re right, thanks Tricia, your really are a nice friend”

“No problem, so I’ll go ahead see you tom then”

“Just wait for me I’ll go with you”

“Okay see you outside, I’ll let you alone with your man for a while, I know you missed him so much” She said as she winked at me and left.

I can’t help but to blush. I do miss him.

“See you tomorrow My James” I whispered to his ear and kiss him on the cheeks and I left with Tricia

That Night I sleep happily waiting for the next day with glee

“I love You My James”

James POV

I woke up feeling happy today, I had the greatest dream, Ann Finally forgive me

I think my dream is a sign. Maybe I should go visit her today.

I went to get ready feeling refresh and energize to win My Ann back.

On my way out I saw Ann with Tricia 

*Or at least I think I did. Is this another illusion*

I blinked 3 times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming it was really her and she going nearer and nearer

As I wait my for My Ann to reach me someone tapped my shoulders from behind

It was Devon

“What are you doing here, didn’t I told you to never show me you face ever again”

“James I have something to tell you” She said 

I got a feeling this will turn out bad and the presence of Ann gets nearer by the second I can feel her.

“Please just get out of my sight; I don’t want to ruin my chances to get My Ann back” I said as I fight the feeling to push her as in literally

“James, listen to me first I have something important to tell you”

“I don’t have time Devon, please just stay out of my life”

“James? Devon? ” She said. It’s Ann, how I missed her sweet voice but I swished she don’t have to see this.

“Ann, it’s not what you think, I told her” I was cut off when I heard Devon said something

“James I’m PREGNANT!”

“YOUR WHAT?!” I said

“She said she’s Pregnant , congratulation James, I have to go now, let’s go Tricia” Ann said I can sense the bitterness in her voice as she fights the tears running down from her eyes and started to walk away from me

“Ann wait, Tell her your lying Devon, nothing happened between us.” I said as I caught Ann’s arm and hold on to her tightly as she tries to free herself from my grip 

“Yeah, wait a minute Ann, I’m sure my sister here is lying to us; tell us my dear sister, are you really pregnant” Tricia as said as she went near her sister

“YES I am I can prove it to you and I assure you James is the father” Devon said 

“ Yeah right I know you sis, did you met a guy in a bar and had a one- night stand with him or is it one of your rich boyfriend who knock you up”

*SLAP*Devon slapped Tricia

“How dare you, I’m still your sister, you should have to respect me” She said

*SLAP* Tricia Slapped Devon

“You’re not a sister to me, why do I need to respect you“Tricia said
I was about to stop them from fighting when Ann got between them

“Stop this, De- Devon your bleeding” She said and I was surprise to see she’s right I can’t moved even my eyes stopped blinking

“James don’t just stand there, help us get her to the hospital this might be your baby 

“Ann said which cause me to gain conscious again. As I help them to get inside my car.
I was the one driving while Ann is in the passenger seat and Devon and Tricia are in the back seat.

We got to the hospital in time she was rush in the ER as we three waited outside

Ann's POV

We were waiting for 1 hour now but I can’t take it anymore so I left them at the hospital
and went home. When I got home I have been thinking about my situation with James.

*She really is pregnant and as much as I want to believe that James is not the father, I can’t because he has every reason to be the father, now I will really lose My James, I don’t want the baby to have a broken family, that wouldn’t be right at all, I should just forget him and leave. *

I called my mom as soon as my thoughts of leaving James are clear.

“Mom I want to go to Paris and study there”

“Huh?, why all the sudden baby, I though your happy in your new school “

“Yeah but I want to study fashion design and I think Paris is the perfect place to learn all I wanted to learn”

* I lied on my purpose all I really want to do is get far away from James as possible*

“Are you sure about this, how about your new friends, James?”

“I already told it about them and they said they are fine with it plus James totally 
understand that my dreams should came first”

*I lied again *

“Okay sweetie if that is what you really want, I’ll arrange everything, and you should be ready to leave by next week”

“Can’t it be tonight” I said

“Tonight, why are you in a hurry to leave?”

*Because I want to get away from James as soon as Possible*

“Because I am so excited to travel again”

*Your such a liar Ann *

“That would be so hard but if you really want to travel now you can visit me and your dad. We’re in Taiwan right now and we can settle everything for your studies in Paris when you get here, we can just call your school and tell them you already transferred I will just ask Ivan to settle everything”

“Okay I’ll buy the tickets now; I’ll just pack my things, so see you tonight I guess”

“Okay see you tonight, we’ll fetch you at the airport, Bye baby have a safe trip”

“Okay Bye Mom I love you”

I ended the call and started packing once I’m done I went straight to the Airport and bought the next flight available to Taiwan lucky for me I just need to wait 1 more hour 
before I leave the Philippines and most importantly James.

“Good Bye My James I will leave my heart with you”

James POV

After 2 hours of waiting the Doctor finally come out

“Are you the Family of Ms. Devon?”

“I’m her sister, Is she okay? The baby? “Tricia said

“We’ll it seems that she’s fine but you have to take good care of her , she’s already 2 
months pregnant and it seems that it’s her first child so you better take care of her”

“2 Months” Me and Tricia said in unison.

‘Yes is something wrong?” The doctor asked

“That means” Tricia said

“I’m not the father” I finished her sentence

“Wait , Are you sure you didn’t sleep with her before 

“No Doctor, Thank you for your time, can we see her now” Tricia said

*2 months that’s mean I’m not really the father, I knew it, I got to tell Ann about this*

“Tricia where’s Ann?” I asked her before we enter the room of her sister

“I don’t know, I thought she’s with us, I didn’t notice her, maybe she went home”

“Ahh okie , do you mind if I go now”

“Yeah sure and James sorry if my sister cause a lot of trouble between you and Ann and don’t worry I’ll tell our parents about this so they could handle the situation, just 
look for Ann and be Happy with her”

“Okay, thank Tricia, see you later bye”

Tricia's POV

I let James go . I entered my sister room. She seems to be in a deep thought. But I have to know the truth.

“Tell me my dear sister who’s the father of your child?” I asked my sister currently resting in the bed

“I told you it’s James” she said

“Cut the crap, 2 months pregnant and you tell me it’s James”

“I don’t have to explain myself to you”

“Well you do have to explain yourself to Carson”

“How dare! you called him?”

“I haven’t but if you won’t tell the truth I will be happy to make the arrangements”
She sighed

“it’s Carson’s baby, but I don’t want him to know, okay”

“But why didn’t you left James just to be with him”

“Yes, and I realized it was the biggest mistake of my life”

“Why?”

“At first our relationship was going great, I loved him more than James but -- “she said as tears starting to run down from her eyes indicating pain, suffering and sorrow. I hugged her, a hug I haven’t done a long time.

“But he started to get jealous, and we have been fighting every time since then and it came to a point that he hurt me physically and mentally” she said and now she can’t stop crying

“Sorry sis, I didn’t know you’ve been through a lot of pain” I said

“Please can you help me to get James back?”

“Sis I can’t do that don’t be selfish, James is happy now with Ann, you had your chance, you have to move on and don’t worry we will be there for you no matter what , I already called mom and dad, they are on their way here” I said as I just let her cry on my shoulders.

I let her cry her pain away . after a while she fell asleep, then I called Carson even though she resist because at looks at it she still loves him unconditionally and that baby needs a father.

James POV

As I went out the hospital I grab my phone and started to call Ann but it’s turned off
I drive quickly to her house, hoping she is there but no luck at all, so I tried calling Ivan instead hoping Ann is with him.

“Hello Ivan is Ann with you?” I asked

“No I though she went with Tricia to see you earlier, why what happened?”

“Ivan I have no time to explain now, could you try to call her, or more like find her, if 
you did find her call me back immediately”

“Okay, I will”

“Thanks man”

I hung up the phone and started to drive to places Ann might be. But no luck at all

Ivan's POV

“Hmm where could Ann be, maybe I should try to call Tita May (Ann’s Mother)”

“Hello Tita, do you happen to know Ann’s whereabouts?”

“Didn’t she told you that she’s visiting me and her dad”

“huh?” I asked

“She told me she wants to study abroad “

“What!? When is she leaving?”

“Today I think her flight is 30 minutes from now, I though she told you?”

“Okay Tita ,thanks I’ll just call you later”
After calling her I called James immediately as I grab my car keys 

“Hello James Ann is leaving”

“What?! Where?!”

“I don’t know yet, she’s at the airport right now, you have to hurry if you want to catch her flight , I’ll be there as soon as I can”

“Okay thanks Ivan”

“Hurry Man”

After our call I received a text message from Ann

Ivan 

As you read this text I’m getting ready for my flight , I’m leaving sorry if I didn’t tell you I just can’t let anyone stop me, I want to forget , to move on, please say sorry for me to our friends and James and tell him to be happy with his new girl and for their Baby

“BABY!” I stopped driving after reading the word out loud

“James is having a baby that bastard I should have known “

I stop reading her text message and called James

“James you bastard you didn’t tell me your having a baby”

“Ivan you don’t get it, it’s just a misunderstanding”

“What do mean? Ann texted me saying she’s leaving the country because your having a baby”

“No I’m not, Tricia’s sister is lying, she got between me and Ann, Man you got to help 
me, we have to stop her”

“Are you near the airport?”

“No The traffic is so heavy , what if I don’t get there in time”

“Okay , I have a plan listen carefully”

I told James my plan and texted Ann, knowing her she would wait for a reply before turning off her cell phone.

“Plan get JamLi together on the go” I said as I called Tricia to confirm James statement and it was true so I told her about my plan to get James and Ann back together.
