Be With Me Then (Then Series #5)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Start

What a normal teenage girl can do if she is fighting with herself alone. Without someone by her side and no one to talk to.

The feeling of you want to release all the pain but you have no one. You want to stop the pain but you don't know what to do.

I need attention! Because in that way maybe battling with myself will stop. Maybe I can have a reason to fight. Because I just lose my only hope in this life because of me back when I was 17.

"Irene, your brother is here." I heard Mom shouted while I am here at the kitchen trying to cook for my brother.

Galing siyang America at doon pinag-aral ni Dad but Dad wants Kuya to study medicine here because we have our own hospital and Dad wants Kuya there. I am just a spoiled 15 years old girl na lahat ng gusto ko nakukuha ko I just need to spill what I want and they will give it to me.

I almost have everything na halos lahat ng tao na kilala ang pamilya namin at kaiingitan na lang ako. I have a Doctor parents and My sisters is smart and all wants to take medicine and also my brother.

That is why both my parents are expecting na yun din ang gagawin ko. Pero hindi yun ang gusto ko even if I always tried so hard to raise my grades dahil yun ang gusto nila. They want me to be like Ate Mendel who is beauty and brains. They want me to be Ate Ivory na magaling ng doctor sa hospital namin and also Kuya Markie that is planning to start studying medicine.

Bunso ako sa sa pamilya. Like their baby girl of the family. Ate Ivory is the eldest sumunod si Ate Mendel at si Kuya Markie. Kaya halos lahat ng expectation nila napunta na sakin.

But it's okay to me because I love them but being a doctor is really not for me. Ayoko nun. I will never want it. Isn't it enough that I have a high grades?

"Kuya! Namiss kita!" I shouted and hug my brother tightly and he just laugh at me but still hug me. In this family that I belong to Kuya is the only person that is proving me that he will support everything that I wanted to do in my life.

I am still young and hindi pa alam kung ano ang gustong gawin in the future but Kuya already knows that I don't want to be a doctor. And he said that it's okay at hindi ko kailangang sundin kung ano ang gusto ng ibang tao for me.

"Para naman hindi mo ko kausap everyday." he said. Kahit naman na kausap ko na siya every day iba pa din pag kasama ko na siya dito.

"He is still your baby, Markie." Ate Ivory said at umiling na lang sa'min at sinabing  aalis na siya dahil may duty pa siya.

"Pag si Irene naging ganyan sa'kin baka pati ako maging matamis." Ate Mendel said na nagpasimangot sa'kin palibhasa kasi wala siyang sweetness sa katawan kaya siya ganyan.

Hindi ko alam dahil parang sa'ming magkakapatid si Ate Men ang parang pinagkaitan ng langit at lupa. Maganda at matalino naman but she is hard as rock na pag binato mo parang walang magiging reaksyon.

Well Ate Ivory is sweet to me sometimes pero dahil sa sa age gap namin or what kaya sobrang hirap na magkalapit kami o talaga busy lang siya. 10 years ang age gap namin 4 years naman ang kay Ate Men and 2 years kay Kuya Markie.

Kaya siguro mas attach ako kay Kuya because our age gap is not that far. Ganun din naman kay Ate Mendel but she is scary.

"But I like this baby to be sweet all the time." Kuya said and kiss my forehead kaya napangiti na lang ako dun.

"Wag ka mag-alala kuya in the future I will be sweeter hanggang sa langgamin na paligid ko." I said and that makes him laugh.

"Ewan ko sayo, Irene Mae. All of your pasalubong is nasa isang maleta na dahil sa dami ng request mo, just get it." he said that is why I jump out of happiness but stop when I heard my fathers footstep.
