Lies After Lies

Chapter 24.

Xyrhil's POV.

"I don't know what the hell is going on through your head, but you better start explaining everything right now."

Yung titig sakin ngayon ni Rie parang gusto ko nalang gumapang sa kung saan at magtago hanggang umalis sya sa harapan ko.

"You better start now." Meldie whispered.

I sighed, I was tired of running away from my problems and I was tired from always lying to the people who cares about me, who cares about Eve.

"It's a long story." I stared at them as they were watching me. Meldie held my hand and slightly smile at me.

"You can tell us, we don't care how long it takes." Rie walked over to the couch and motioned for me and Meldie to sit down.

"Take your time, and tell us everything." Rie stared at me as I nodded and took a deep breath.

I didn't even know where to begin. Might as well get it over with.

We were sitting on the couch and I couldn't believe that this was happening because it didn't seem real. Ni-minsan hindi ko naisip na sasabihin ko sa ibang tao yung mga nangyayari sa buhay ko, na sasabihin ko sa mga kaibigan ko lalo na nung kay Ma'am Albrecht.

But here I am, sitting on the couch at Meldie's house, telling them about my fucked up life and how shitty Cj has been treating me, and how he owes money to everyone that I knew nothing about but I'm the one who always gets in trouble.

"What about your parents? Where are they?"

See.

That's the question that I didn't want to be asked. Why?

Because it kills me to know that my parents are gone. That our Mother died and how our Father abandoned us, like we are just some kind of toys.

"My Mother died because of cancer." I looked away. "My Father? He's the biggest enemy in my life. He abandoned us and he had no idea that Mom died. He never cared."

How could he leave us?

He didn't have to leave us when we needed him the most. When Cj needed him the most.

He just told Mom one day that he fell out of love and that he wants to leave. How could he be so heartless? The last news that we had of him was that he moved to Canada because his Brother, our Uncle told us. But he didn't give us any more information about my Father, because he doesn't care enough about us, he's a jerk just like my Father.

He's a selfish bastard and he always will be.

As I was explaining everything to Meldie and Rie, I didn't shed a tear. Maybe because I'm tired from crying when the damaged has been done for years. I'm done crying that day when I was with Ma'am Albrecht.

Meldie and Rie stared at me for a few moments until they pulled me and hug me. I didn't feel anything except the pain growing inside my chest increasing. But honestly, it feels nice to be able to tell them about everything.

I've been lying to them for years and being able to tell them everything felt great and a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

We stayed like that for a moment until they released me and I could see a tear on Meldie's eyes. Sometimes, she's really a crybaby.

Well, Rie is still the same. She never shed tear even though the story of my life is so fucked up that it could be use for a drama or maybe a documentary.

I've never seen her cry, not even once.

I actually envy Rie. She could control her emotions so well that she never cry, not even once. There this one time that we watched a movie and it was so sad that me and Meldie cried a river, but Rie just sat there and stare at the two of us and asking why the hell were we crying.
