Lexi
When we got up to my room,pagod na pagod siya. Ang taas ng room ko ehh,third floor. Btw,hindi pala ako fluent magsalita ng tagalog pero pag iniisip ko,parang ang galing ko.
"Harry,if you want to sleep,you can sleep. I have to finish my essay though." Sabi ko para mabawasan yung awkwardness.
"I'm not sleepy. I've slept in the plane the whole time."
"Okay,you want to tour the house?"
"My pleasure."
Lumabas na kami ng kwarto ko tapos sinimulan ko nang magtour sa kanya.
"How come you only have four guest rooms? I mean,there's a lot of closed doors?"
"Want to see the things behind those doors?"
"Yes."
"Okay,here is the recording room"
Pumasok kami sa recording room. Natapos na kami lalo siyang napagod.
"So,that's all the rooms,I guess." Sabi ko.
"Nope,we are not done yet. You haven't opened that door yet." Sabay turo sa room ni Luke.
"Harry,we can't open that door. If you want to go to that room,come with Lance."
"Why?" He asked curiously.
"Come here." Sabay hila ko sa kwarto ko.
Pagpasok namin,sikence filled the whole room. I mean awkward silence.
"So,any plans on opening that door?" He asked.
"The owner of that room is the reason of my nightmares."
Harry
"The owner of that room is the reason of my nightmares." She said.
"What do you mean?"
She walked over a large cabinet thing and grab a...scrapbook?
"Here. See this guy,he is my father." Pointing to an old guy with blonde hair.
"And this lad is the owner of that room."
"Wait. You two looked like each other." I told her.
"Exactly. He is my twin. Luke. I'm three minutes younger than him,we loved each other so much."
"How come he is the reason of your nightmares? Where is he?"
"He is already...dead." I saw her eyes are being glossy.
"How did he died?"
"One day,I got hungry so I go downstairs to grab some snacks. But then I heard Luke screaming so I ran towards him. I was only twelve years old that time so I'm not well trained whatsoever. When I got into the living room,I s-saw dad. Beating up Luke. I screamed and shout everything I can but,it didn't help. It only made it worse. Dad is drunk at that time,well dad is always drunk. When he left the living room I ran towards Luke. When I got to Luke,his face is bleeding. I called mom and when she saw Luke's face she told me to call the doctor immediately but I was in complete shock that I can't even move a muscle. After a few minutes,the police and an ambulance came over to the house. The police caught dad and he was in jail but then I told them what I saw and they put dad in jail. Dad payed the bail so he is not jail anymore and he is with his new family. They are rich too,he has a God damn son. They carry Luke's almost lifeless body into the ambulance with the help of a stretcher. I followed them in the hospital until I found where mom is. She hugged me tight and tell me it's going to be okay. Luke is not gonna die. Until a doctor came over to us and she said they did everything but Luke's body can't take it any longer. My young mind processed that Luke is dead." She is crying right now. I feel pity for this girl and for her twin. I hugged her tight.
I swear when I first saw her this morning. I believed in love at first sight. She is the perfect daughter,sister and..girlfriend. And wife as well. Too bad she's still 17 and 18 on Valentine's day.
"Don't cry Lexi,I will help you cure your nightmares,I promise."
"I will hold on that promise,Harry."
