All Chapters of Once Upon a Life: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

With Vanessa and Edwardo.Edwardo: Hey, where are we going? (Walking into the forest along with Vanessa)."I'm not really sure myself but... I had a feeling that I need to check something. (Still walking)."Edwardo: Is it just me or are we lost?"We are not lost Edwardo, I mean lucky for you I remember which path we came from (Moving branches away from her face)."Edwardo: Are you sure the last time I remembered, you said that you had a bad memory."I had a bad memory when it comes to the past not when we go into the forest or studying for a test. I mean if I had a bad memory then I would be failing all my classes."Edwardo: Well yeah that's true."(Still walking towards) ..."Edwardo: ... (In his mind) Well, this is awkward... maybe this is the right time to talk to her. Even though I know she won't answer my question right away, I want to be able to know what is going on with her lately. I feel like, since the day she

"(End of flashback) (Shaking out of fear) Every time I go to bed, I get nightmares every night and I always see her in them. (Tears coming out) You don't know how horrible my nightmares were, I felt like the only way to solve it was to never bother you guys at all and act all cold towards you. (Hic) But the day you found out about everything, I still didn't have the guts to tell you because she was always in my dreams even if she's not near me."Edwardo: Vanessa you should have never kept it and she had no right to hurt you like that. I can't believe I was so foolish not to realize that she did not only hurt me but also you, my sister. Good thing I made the choice to break up with her, that's why ever since my break up I decided not to date any other girl until I go to college."(Hic) (Wiping her tears) Why would you make a stupid promise like that?"Edwardo: Well be surprised since the days I've depressed over my break up I've been thinking a lot."(Hic)

"(Smiles fades away) Well... I could but Nayzett is holding me so tight that I don't think she would let go for a while (Still hugging Nayzett)."Edwardo: Ah...(Sighs) (In his mind) Thank god, I'm saved! I'm glad Nayzett is the type of person who won't let go until she calms down. Now I need to make sure Vanessa doesn't remember about her plan on killing me because I made her best friend cry."Anyways we should get going it's getting late and we have school tomorrow. We don't want to be late again like we did today and yesterday, right Nayzett and Jacob (Looks at Nayzett then at Jacob)."Nayzett: Yes mam (Hugging her still while giving her a big smile).Jacob: (Sighs) That's for sure, I rather not get detention just because I'm late for the third time."(Sighs as well) Indeed. Also... (Looks down at Nayzett) will you ever let go of me?"Nayzett: (Looks up) Hmm let me think about it (Puts her finger on her chin)... Nope! (Smiles at her).

In the morning."(Gets ready for school)."Mrs. Fernandez: (Walks towards the stairs and stops) Vanessa! Breakfast is ready!"Coming! (Ties her shoes and grabs her bag) (Walks towards her door) (Stops when she hears her phone buzz in her bag). Who could it be? (Takes her phone out of her bag) (Checks who it is) ... (Reads the message) *Dad* Hey V, sorry if I yelled at you yesterday. I was just surprised that you would not be coming this weekend with us. You know how much I love you but sometimes it hurts me that you choose your mother over me. I just don't want you to start forgetting to come to visit me as your brother did, once he started high school. Just remember your mother's husband is just your stepfather and I'm your real father, got that? That man is nothing more than a threat to you and trying to keep us both apart. Plus your mother will start forgetting you once your little sister starts growing more, then eventually when that day comes, she will only

Mrs. Fernandez: (Surprised) Really!? I didn't know that Vanessa was into growing flowers?Edwardo: Yep. Not only that she even knows the meaning of each type of flower. I was amazed at how she described them. You should have been there mom, she described them while smiling and enjoying herself (Smiles).Mrs. Fernandez: Was it a real smile?Edwardo: (Says it in a happy tone) Yeah! She was showing her real smile and her laugh. I was so happy because I thought I would never see her happy ever since... (Smiles fades away).Mrs. Fernandez: (Looks at him)... I know but... (holds his hand) I'm glad that Vanessa is starting to show her emotions again. I was really worried about the fact that she wouldn't be happy or smile ever again. She was always so cold and distant that I feel like that it was partially my fault for making her feel emotionless (Starts crying).Edwardo: (Talks to her calmly while holding her hand tight) Hey mom, don't blame yourself.
