Forced

Chapter 13

Alaska's PoV

I ain't happy about this, Lyle didn't listen. He's the only one I am concerned about. North already left me,

"Please, Lyle, I don't want someone will hurt you" I begged.

"You think you didn't hurt me right now?" He asked in his unhappy voice.

"Lyle, -"

He hug me tightly, "I want to be with you," he whimpered.

"Lyle. Please don't make it hard for me" I pleaded.

"No. I want to be with you"

Why is he so hard-headed. I'm done. He's getting into my nerves. I push him forcibly.

"Lyle, Ano ba! You couldn't understand. YOU LISTEN TO ME, I don't want to hurt you. So, please! Just once, Lyle. Just listen to me. I don't want you, I don't want to hurt you just for being with me. I DON'T NEED YOU!" I stopped by what I said. But I said what I needed to be said just to get him away from me. 

"You don't understand"

"Lyle, I don't want to do this. Sorry" I punch him in the face. He's knocked out. I call East,

"Please go home," I let out.

"Is everything okay? Where's Lyle? Don't tell me....."

"Go home" I exclaimed and hung up.

........

I'm lying on the couch, listening to Beethoven's masterpiece. I saw him open the door.

"I have chocolate cake here. Where is he?" He asked.

"He's dead asleep" I answered.

"What should we do now?" He asked me.

I promised myself not to include my emotions when we're here. I need to find Chrono's daughter. I want to end this.

"What should we do now?" He asked again.

"Bring him back to Manila" I demanded.

"Er, there's something I badly want to tell you" I put away my earphones, "Lyle. Si Lyle kasi..."

"What?" I asked annoyingly.

"He already sells Lyle's share to us. Papa called me earlier. Papa knows about this. His Nana goes to the US" I froze.

"Before he came here, he's making sure that everything is settled there. He badly wants to be with you" he continued.

"East, I don't want him to get involved"

That's my concern. Every time I see Lyle's face, there are a lot of what-ifs that will perpetually come to my mind.

"He's deeply in love with you. You're Loka-loka naman. Why so?" He asked.

"Shut up" suway ko. I put my palm straight to my face and scrub it because of frustration.

"He's not awake, yet? Go check on him." What? Me?Why me?

"Why me? You should be the one to check on him" I argue

"Me? Aren't you the one who punched him? Now go check on him" he defends

"W-what?You should. You both are men, so why me?"

"As if you aren't kissing, huh?" I can feel my face heated up.

"He's the one who kissed me earlier, I didn't move. I was surprised" I defend

"I'm talking about your wedding, idiot. Didn't you two kiss on your wedding day?" He doubts. I thought he's pertaining the....."Wait, you guys kissed earlier, nuuuh?"
