The Last Embrace Chapter 387
Advertisement
When the waiter brought her order in the table, Hazel began munching on her light snack which consists of a cheeseburger, french fries, and orange soda.
While she was chewing on her food...
Her attention was glued to the singer belting a romantic ballad in the center of the bar, he got a melodious and soulful voice that can penetrate one's heart and soul. She kept staring at the singer and thoroughly enjoying his breathtaking performance.
Hazel stayed inside the bar until 1:00 in the morning just listening to the singer's soulful voice.
Finally, the resto-bar was now closing for the night.
Hazel was still sitting in her table, she doesn't want to go home yet!
Then the singer walked to her table. "Miss...were going to close for the night..." he informed her, smiling a bit.
Hazel smiled shyly. "Ah, um...okay...sorry I did not realize it's now closing time. I enjoyed listening to your music," she commented.
"Thank you. By the way, my name is Perry," he said, smiling.
"Nice meeting you, Perry!" Hazel responded. "My name is Hazel..." she introduces herself to him.
They shook hands.
Perry stared at her for a long time. "You know what...your face looks familiar to me!" he finally said, his eyes gleaming.
Hazel looked at him. "Yeah, you look familiar too!" she said.
They stared at each other's eyes for a few minutes.
Perry broke the contact. "Tell me where you live, I can bring you home. I have my motorcycle with me outside," he offered.
Hazel stared at the floor. "I don't want to go home yet..."
"Why—?" he asked, frowning.
"B-because I caught my boyfriend cheating behind my back with a naked woman in our house," she said teary-eyed, her voice distraught, she was near to breaking down again.

Perry looked at her with deep sympathy in his eyes. "Ah, I see. You are facing a relationship problem, no worries, I can bring you to a nice beautiful place...so that you can talk as much as you want while I listen..." he said.
"W-where is that beautiful place?" she asked curiously.
"On the beach outside the town, it's going to be a one hour drive from here. Would you go with me?" he asked.
Hazel fell silent for a minute or two, then she finally spoke..."Okay, I will go with you..." she said.
They exited the establishment.
After presenting his motorcycle to her, Hazel get in at the back of the motorbike and clung at Perry's jacket.
Perry was driving his motorbike smoothly in the deserted highway heading out of the town, going to the nearest beach.
Jessy was smiling in amazement while hovering above them, she was following the motorbike closely.
Perry and Hazel finally arrived on the beach.
They soon found a quiet place to sit down and within just a few minutes, they were able to admire the beauty of the beach.
Perry glanced at Hazel's eyes filled with tears, he gave his handkerchief to her. "So, what happened between you and your boyfriend? Why you caught him cheating on the house you both shared? Did you have a terrible fight before he cheated on you?" he began asking questions to encourage her to speak her mind out. Discussing problems with other people can sometimes ease the pain, instead of carrying the heavy burden alone. This time, he's willing to listen to this woman who catches his attention, super fast! The moment he heard her voice and the way she talks, he felt like he had seen this woman before. He was instantly drawn to her like a moth to a flame.

Hazel observed Perry's face and saw the sincerity in his eyes.
Then she began pouring her heart out to Perry. "My boyfriend told me that I disappeared for more than a year that is why he found another girlfriend to take my place..." she began her explanation.
Perry's eyes were burning with curiosity. "Interesting! My friend the owner of the bar also told me that I vanished for more than a year and I just returned last week...I find it odd because I felt like I was never gone missing at all. But I think my friend was telling the truth because my room has accumulated dust everywhere from floor to ceiling, and I usually clean my room every weekend. And one more strange thing I noticed...I have no memories of the activities I have done when I disappeared. It's kind of a great mystery to me, sometimes I think I was abducted by aliens and was brought to the outer space on their planet for experimentation and they find nothing interesting about my body and brain so they dumped me back here on earth..." he joked.
Hazel broke into a giggle upon hearing Perry's outrageous claim.
Perry laughed aloud, she joined in his vibrant laughter.
Their laughter filled the atmosphere, the thin ice that separates them has finally broken.
"And maybe I'm also abducted by aliens and we are both abducted at the same time...then they returned us to earth one week apart from each other? Hmm...sounds interesting! Does it sounds like a conspiracy theory?" Hazel asked.
"I dunno..." Perry said.
Then they laughed some more.
After a while, they both turned serious.
Perry looked at Hazel. "Please continue your story..." he said, very much interested to know the woman sitting beside him. He felt like he had known her for a long time and they somehow shared a deep connection.
Hazel was glad to meet someone like Perry who is a wonderful stranger, a friendly type of guy who is ready to listen to her problems. She just wants to wipe away the pain from her chest because she felt like her heart was going to explode if she can't flush out the pain from her system. She needs to get it all out so that when she will face Greg again tomorrow, she will have the strength to accept his decision when it comes to the fate of their relationship. Then she still has to find out why she went missing for more than a year which she has no recollection at all, kind of odd and strange.
She resumes narrating her story...
Perry listens to Hazel's life story and heartbreaks without interruption.
...
Jessy smiled while watching the estranged couple reunited again...well...if they were meant to be together they will be on each other's arms sooner or later.
It's about time to go home. She's done here. If she is not busy next week she will visit the resto-bar to check on Hazel and Perry's condition. She was curious about what will happen next, now that they found each other again. Would it lead to romance or friendship only? Will Hazel and her boyfriend can settle their differences and melt back to each other's arms?
It's one of a kind life situation unfolding in front of her.
Everything happened so fast!
Jessy shakes her head. More questions are growing like mushrooms in her mind while watching the latest development between Hazel and Perry's reunion.
But she has to leave now.
Jessy teleported back into the Facility.

The Viadon Project: Extinction
In the year 2080, a group of fanatics believed that the world was going to end. In order to save the human race from extinction, a man named Damian Hunts created a time machine and travelled back in time to the Cretaceous Period alongside his fellow believers. They built a massive city on the continent of Laramidia, and named it Viadon. To keep their future generations from travelling back to a broken future, Damian and the Founding Families destroyed the time machine and created a their own version of history, completely leaving out the fact that they had time travelled, and that the Mass Extinction would happen thousands of years later. Two-thousand years later, the future generations of Viadon have no idea of their ancestors pasts, but things start to unravel quickly as Time Travelers come to warn them of impending doom. Vocabulary:Laramidia: was an island continent that existed during the Late Cretaceous period (99.6-66 Ma), when the Western Interior Seaway split the continent of North America in two.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
