"You look horrendous. Did you sleep?" tanong ni Jassy sa akin nang magising siya.
I shook my head. It's 5 in the morning. Hindi ako nakatulog ni isang segundo dahil paulit ulit na tumatakbo sa isip ko ang mga nangyari sa amin ni Kaylee kagabi. Hindi mawala sa isip ko ang mga sinabi niya, at ang mukha niya habang umiiyak.
"I didn't sleep well. I don't feel goo— wait… why are your eyes so puffy? Did you cry all night?" tumayo si Jassy sa kama niya at lumapit sa akin upang suriin ang aking mukha.
Yumuko ako. "I'm fine." bulong ko sa kanya.
"Did you get into a fight with your sister again? You're more like girlfriends than sisters." she chuckled.
Mas lalong bumigat ang pakiramdam ko sa sinabi niya. Muling nanggilid ang aking mga luha kaya mas lalo akong napayuko. Pilit kong kinalma ang sarili ko.
"We're not fighting, but I did something bad to her." pinaglaruan ko ang aking mga daliri sa kamay.
Umupo siya sa tabi ko. "Everybody makes mistakes, Olivia. Whatever you did, I'm sure she will forgive you. She's your sister after all. She's angry all the time, but I can see how much she cares for you." pagpapagaan niya ng loob ko.
I don't think she can forgive me. Nasaktan ko siya sa ginawa ko at kung galit man siya sa akin ay naiintindihan ko. I deserve it.
"Thank you, Jassy." saad ko at pilit siyang nginitian.
"I sometimes miss being called blondie." halakhak niya.
"What about satan? Evil one? Devil incarnate?" I teased.
Inirapan niya ako at tumayo sa kama. "Hard pass." tinalikuran niya ako at kinuha ang isang container mula sa mesa niya.
"What's that?" tanong ko nang akmang itatapon na niya ito sa basurahan.
"Salad." she smiled. "Collins gave it to me last night. I can't eat it tho." she shrugged before throwing the container on the trashcan.
Napangisi ako nang banggitin niya ang pangalan ni Cole. "Are you two close now?" pang aasar ko.
Ngumiwi siya. "No. Mikhael wanted to give the salad to you but younger Parker said you can't eat it. Collins took it and gave it to me instead. I can't eat it either, but I still accepted it." she blushed.
"What's in the salad?" tanong ko.
"Olives. I'm allergic to them." she quickly answered.
My mouth formed an o. "I'm allergic to them too."
Ngumisi siya sa akin. "You shouldn't have annoyed me before. We wasted too much time."
I frowned. "You were the one who was always poking me. You even tried to kill me with a potato." I scoffed.
Lumukot ang mukha niya at binato ako ng unan. Natatawa akong umilag. Kahit paano ay nabawasan ng kaunti ang bigat na nararamdaman ko.
"I'll go back to sleep." saad niya at muling humiga sa kanyang kama.
Tumayo ako sa kama ko at nag ayos ng sarili. "I will go to the library." paalam ko naman sa kanya.
Ngumiwi siya sa akin. "Classes are suspended. Don't tell me you will go there to study?"
I gave her a subtle smile. "Maybe."
Inirapan niya ako. Nginitian ko lang siya bago lumabas ng kwarto namin. Nagpapasalamat akong wala sila Elijah at Jed. Hindi ko magagawa ang dapat kong gawin kapag meron sila dahil paniguradong hindi nila ako lulubayan. The reason I want to stay here for a while is to do some research about siphon witches. I used to be one before aunt Riley did the ritual months ago so I'm curious. I want to know everything about them.
