MEGAN
"She saw you! She saw you! Do you understand that, you useless idiot? And what did you do? You just sat there and did nothing! What do I do? What do I do now?" I hysterically shouted like a madman.
He was seating in a solo couch meters away from me, with his large Dr. Beats headphones in his ear. I hope that useless gear would destroy his eardrums too soon, it became too useless nowadays. He wasn't even paying attention to me, to me who was dying and hyperventilating and trying to knack my head out for solutions. How could my brother be a brat? A pathetic, useless so-called music mogul when in fact he did not even contribute a thing to me but deathful headaches? I wish I could smash his face into bits.
Ashley just called earlier after her family dinner, a family dinner probably disrupted by the presence of this ever-pestilating presence. The face I wasn't expecting to come back all of a sudden. Of all time, why now? Why now that everything seemed to be alright already, where everything can be put into the right track without hindrances. Why now? Is it really true when everything just turned alright, it would be messy again? Did the universe conspire with this bastard to disturb my peaceful life? Oh dear God do not permit this to happen. I don't know if I could take it all in. NOT. RIGHT.NOW. PLEASE. NOT. THIS. FUCKING. TIME.
I had wished to all entities in heaven and hell when I saw him this morning, driving Xanthic's car, wearing his usual fashion. They did not grant my wishes obviously, the idiot still showed up to a public place. Of all places, why Ashley's family's restaurant? If only I could pause the time and drag him away from that place. And shoot his brain.
"Xander! Listen to me will you?!" my voice was full of irritation.
I wasn't known to be an irritable person. But right now, I just exploded and I can't control it. All of my patience has drained out out of its big bottle.
"What? What's the matter if that particular person saw me? Everybody else in school saw me my dear step sister" he said with a flat tone. So flat that I decided to throw the cat's pillow at him. I hope he would die of allergy.
"Aren't you thinking about that dangerous measure you stepped in? Are you out of your head? Why did you show up this morning? Why did you even strolled around the place as if it's an ordinary thing for a Xander Villarama to do!" I shouted at thw top of my lungs.
Dear God I think I would die too soon and this bastard is the reason.
My heart was beating really fast. Really fast that I felt my cage bursting into pieces.
"I have a head Megan, and it's functioning pretty well. I would do what I wanted to do. And a silly girl you just pertained to doesn't stop me from doing that. Even if her family owns every restaurant in the city" he did not look at me. He just kept on staring at his phone.
"You stupid little bastard! Why did you even come back? Why coudn't you just stay in Europe and ejoy your westernize lifestyle? Enjoy and die" I said with bitterness.
He was sent there months ago, to fulfill his ambition and visit Europe. To escape from emerging issues surrounding him and the band, to renew his life and start all over again. Everyone in the family thought he was going to an Exclusive Arts School, never did we think he was just strolling around the streets with his damn skateboard and throwing his life way bits by bits. Useless insect! How much money did my family invest in his vices?
"Why does it even matter to you? If I decided to come back, I will come back. Mom did not even stop me, so why would you? Are you trying to take control of my life?"
"No one's trying to control yor fucked-up life Xander! Just remember why you left! You vowed to never come back! And now, what are you planning to do? Destroy everything that has been planned for you and the family?"
This time, he lifted up his face and met my fiery gaze. His eyes were unsually cold and expressionless. Did Europe change him that way?
"I came back to reclaim what's mine"
I froze. I was right all this time. He came back to reclaim Haven, the band he created and morphed into one of the most requested bands in the country. He, Xander Villarama, the original vocalist, is back. God, what would Xanthic think of this? What would Xafro think of this? What would everyone think if they ever find out that Haven doesn't only have one X, but three? And the original king who came from the wrong side of town just came back to reclaim his throne?
No. Just no.
