Chapter 10

A lot of things went straight to my head that time but....maybe she just left when I tooked the picture,I'm not much of a photographer.

That's what I chose to think that time because I fear of locking myself up again.She's Lia and she's so not a ghost.

I turned the radio and played the same song we played earlier while dancing.I cried while thinking of loosing her again.I know couldn't bate to loose her again.

When I went to school,there was no sign of Tod everywhere.Maybe I waa right,he is ashamed for everything.

I saw Meg and she was also looking for Tod,she also noticed that Tod was bothered and had been missing lately.

I went to Tod's house but their neighbors said that they weren't home.

I tried to find Tod and told Lia to postpone our next date.

I did my best but it's hard to find a man who doesn't wanna be found.

I asked help from my uncle and the company staff but still....no Tod.

I never gave up,Lia helped me to find Tod but she stayed in the car.She said that she's not so good in communicating.She came with me as we find Tod but still....he's not in town,he's no longer in town.

A month later,it was stated in the news that Tod's father was caught by the police as the main suspect for the murder of Mr. Guiverra.

I saw Tod in the news,he was screaming.....pleading not to take his father away from him.

I couldn't bare to watch him like that so I decided to go to Lia and ask her to go with me to Boston,it was were Tod's family was hiding for a while.

Together with Lia,we went at Tod's place.

"Tod?"I called him.

"Jake—Jakeeee"He said while crying hard.

"Don't worry,it'll be okay."

He continued crying and I just stayed by his side for the whole time while her mother was also crying.

When Tod finally came on senses,I told him that I brought Lia but she wanna stayed in the car.

"Oh and uhhh....I brought Lia but she wanna stayed inside the car."

"Okay....she's quite pretty.You've made the right choice."

"Anyway Tod uhhh...I can't stay long,we really have to go.We'll have to catch the next flight to Paris."I said.

"We?who is with you?"Tod's mom asked.

"Uhmmm....I'm with my girlfriend"I replied.

"Okay be careful and uhhh Jakeee....thank you"

"Your welcome ma'am."

As I went to my car,I saw Tod staring at me and at my car.I think he's trying to tell me something,I know he wanna say something but....nothing.

"How was Tod?"Lia asked.

"Ohh he's fine,I know Tod will get through this."I replied.

We went back to Paris as early as possible.We both still have class,I still have class.

My uncle got mad a little bit for not telling him I was going to Boston.I explained to him everything and promised to pay the money I used but he refused to make me pay.

Tod is currently having a though time right now but I know,he'll get through this.I know how it felt to loose someone you value the most,lucky for him that he's father is still alive.

Tod called the same night.

"Jake?"

"Oh Tod...what's up?

"I wanna tell you something"

"What is it?"

"It's about Lia...."

I got curious for what he's going to say but also afraid at the same time of what I might discover about Lia.

"What about Lia?"I asked

"I don't know how to say Jake butt uhh——"

"Tod?Tell me!"I exclaimed

"Lia is ——————"

I really wanna hear what he's going to say but the signal got broken.I shouted at my uncle to call someone to fix it but he said that it's too late because there is no way of fixing it anymore.

I didn't got the chance to hear what Tod is going to say so I've decided to find out on my own by myself.

I'm done keeping in silence,I love Lia but I——I can't tolerate lying.
