This is the night that Ethan thought it was just an ordinary evening which he always did sing at the Moonlight Bar. He did not expect it to happen next. This is an unforgettable night for him, the beginning of his destiny.
"People say that I'm a fool,
Well, I don't know.
At least I found out
What it takes to be strong.
I was dreaming all day long
A drifting cloud,
With eyes wide open
I would choose not to see…"
In one corner of the bar there was Chloe and Jane drinking; Chloe was upset when
Raymond refused her; she never thought that he doesn't feel anything for her.
She and Raymond were together almost every day, he's kind, he's sweet, he always made
her happy and she was always taken care of, so she thought that their feelings
are mutual. She never expected to hear those words from him, that . . .
"You are just my sister!!! Is he stupid? He only considers me as his sister? Eh, so
why is he holding my hand every time we are together, huh?" Drunken Chloe
said while drinking the wine.
"That's enough Chloe, you're drunk! I will be scolded for that, when your Mom finds out
you drank!" Jane stopped her from drinking.
"I do not care!" Then she drank it again in a beer bottle.
"Do you know what is more painful? I am the one who made the confession, I was so
stupid! I should not have told him my feelings! Rrrhhh! He's a bastard! I hate
him!! He just made me hope!!!" Chloe said angrily.
"That's enough Chloe, let's go home, it's late." Jane invited Chloe to go home,
but she was still not content and satisfied with her sentiment sitting in their
chair.
She noticed the man singing on the stage, she watched the man singing carefully.
He was tall, handsome, wearing a black leather jacket and gray shirt underneath,
wearing black ripped jeans and sunglasses.
'Wait, why is he wearing sunglasses?' she asked in astonishment in Chloe's mind.
"Day after day,
Leaving the past behind.
Coming to terms with
Stitches and burns,
And learning to fly again…
Now I to see you anymore!
Don't wanna be the one to play your game,
Not even if you smile the sweetest smile,
Not even if you beg me darling, please."
Chloe emptied the entire bottle of beer and suddenly stood up and walked to the
stage. Jane was surprised when Chloe suddenly stood up.
"Hey, where are you going? Come back here." Jane stopped Chloe, but she just
kept walking.
She held Chloe in the arm, but she refused to be held.
"Chloe, come on, where are you going?"
Until Chloe reached in front of the stage, Ethan noticed the drunken woman approaching him,
but he just continued his song, while staring at the woman standing in front of him.
"Now, I don't want to see you anymore!
Don't wanna be the one to play your game."
Chloe suddenly stepped on the stage and approached the man singing.
"Not even if you smile the sweetest smile –"
Ethan finally stopped singing when he saw the woman standing in front of him, and the
band also stopped playing. He thought it was just one of his admirers or fans.
He looked closely at the drunken woman who could not even stand up still.
She was wearing a loose black shirt and jeans, her hair was long, white skin and with a
simple beauty.
She even stepped closer to him before speaking.
"Hey, you! Why are you still wearing sunglasses! It's already night! Stupid! There's
no sunlight! Remove it now!'' Then she suddenly removed Ethan's sunglasses.
Chloe and Jane were surprised to see who the man in front of them was.
"Wait, I think I know you; I think I saw you somewhere." drunk Chloe said while
pointing finger at Ethan.
"Oh, really?" Ethan nodded.
Jane also went to the stage and pulled her friend.
"Chloe let's go, it's so embarrassing." Jane whispered to Chloe as she tried to
pull her, but Chloe did not want to go.
"Let me go, I have more things to say!" and suddenly she pulled her hand away
and turned back again to the handsome man.
"Hey you! I know you, that such a face deceives women!" said Chloe loudly.
"What?!!!" Ethan asked in surprise.
"You handsome men always bring false hope to women, then when they fall in love with
you, you will leave! You are so bad! You are shameless!" Chloe shouted angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she's drunk. What are you doing Chloe, stop it!" Jane
said emphatically, but Chloe still did not listen, she continued to speak
hurtfully.
"Handsome people like you, should be buried alive or thrown into hell!" Chloe said
angrily as she pointed Ethan in the chest.
Ethan did not say anything, but just shook his head at what the drunken woman was saying.
"Come on Chloe!!!" Jane shouted, as she tried to hold Chloe by the arm, but Chloe
went wild.
"No, I will get revenge on this idiot!"
After Chloe said this, she suddenly grabbed the man's leather jacket and pulled it closer
to her face, Ethan bowed to the woman's sudden action and at that moment their
lips pressed together.
Jane was shocked by what Chloe did, she was dumbfounded and even the people at the bar,
and she could not believe that Chloe would do it.
"Oh, no… is my friend going crazy?" Jane said dumbfounded, as she watched Ethan
and Chloe kiss.
Ethan smiled and responded to Chloe's kisses, after a while she slowly stopped,
stared into his eyes and suddenly released him and stepped back and then walked
away from him.
"Let's go!" she whispered to Jane as she was stunned, Jane immediately followed
her out of the bar.
Ethan was left shaking his head, as he watched Chloe out of the bar; he never thought he
would meet that kind of woman tonight.
Ethan's band mates and audiences screamed because of what happened.
"Yey, Ethan has a girlfriend!" one of his band mates shouted.
"Yey, nice shot!" Henry shouted, his drummer friend.
"Tssk! She's not my girlfriend!" Ethan just laughed at their jokes, he asked for
a break before continuing to sing.
Meanwhile, while inside the car, Jane talked to Chloe.
"Chloe, why did you do that?" Jane asked.
"Which one?" she innocently asked, while struggling to resist drowsiness.
"The one that you did at the bar earlier, why did you kiss Ethan?" Jane asked.
"Uhhmm."
But Chloe did not answer and she finally fell asleep, leaning on Jane's shoulder.
"Chloe, hey… tsk!"
Jane just shook her head and sighed loudly.

The next day at noon when Chloe woke up, she slowly stretched her arms while lying on
the bed. At the same time, Jane entered the room and approached her.
"It's good that you woke up!" said Jane as she sighed.
"Why what time is it?" Chloe asked sleepily as she sat on the bed.
"It's noon, dear Queen! It will be twelve o'clock in the afternoon." said Jane
and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Tssk! It's noon. Aaahhh, my headache." Chloe complained of a headache.
"Your head will hurt even more, when you remember what you did last night." Jane
said while smiling at her.
"Why, what did I do last night?" Chloe asked her while massaging her head.
Jane then took the cell phone from her pocket and handed it to Chloe.
"Here, look at your craziness!" said Jane and Chloe quickly looked at the cell phone.
She saw the video of her talking to Ethan angrily and cursed him, and the last thing
that shocked her was that she kissed Ethan.
Chloe was shocked by what she saw and the phone fell on the bed. She did not know how she
would react and feel what she did. She gasped in surprise at what she saw on the phone.
"Omgee!!! I'm dead!!!" crying Chloe said in embarrassment and at what she had done.
"So now, have you realized what you did last night?" Jane said to her as she crossed her arms.
"Omgeee!!! Why didn't you stop me?!" she shouted at Jane.
"How many times I tried to stopped you, if you only knew? I don't know what went through your mind and you suddenly cursed Ethan! And worst, you kissed him, in front of all the people inside the bar! You not ashamed, you stupid girl!!"
Simultaneously pulled Chloe's hair.
"Aaarrhh, that's enough! Stop it! I don't know… That Raymond's fault! Grrhhh! I hate him! I don't want to drink again. Jane, what should I do?" cried Chloe.
"You are crazy! Of all people, Ethan is the one you chose to beat! You know he was
known at our school, people will definitely gossip about you! Fortunately, today is a holiday, no class, by any chance, maybe a week - no, you will be absent for a month for what you did." said Jane.
"Tssk, it's Ethan, that's why, his face was so familiar last night." she said sadly.
"The good thing you can do is apologize to him for what you have said and did!" said Jane.
"I don't want to, I'm embarrassed." Chloe said, frowning.
"Well, just pray that Ethan doesn't chase you." She smiled teasingly at Chloe.
"Huh, I'm not afraid of him! Besides, the Powerpuff Girls are ready to defend
me!" Chloe boasted.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Then Jane got up and left the room, while Chloe went straight to the bathroom to wash and
brush her teeth. While brushing her teeth, she remembered the scene last night,
as she kissed Ethan.
"Tssk! Erased! Erased! Erased!" she said firmly to herself.
Grinning after she rinsed, again she remembered Ethan's smooth face, while his lovely
eyes staring at her, as he kissed her.
"Wait… he also kissed me last night."
She whispered and she slowly touched her lips, while looking in the mirror. It
seemed as if that night had returned, she could clearly see Ethan's puffy eyes
and it also gradually closed his eyes as he kissed her, she suddenly felt
nervous and touched her heart.
"Chloe! Aren't you done there yet? We will eat lunch." Jane shouted outside the
door.
Her imagination was interrupted by Jane's loud knock on the bathroom door. Then she
went out the door and ate.
