Always and Forever (COMPLETED)

Chapter 13

Weeks passed and nothing happened. I mean, I never received a threat again and I can't find that girl Alexa. Val is wrong. She never showed herself to me. There are two possible reasons. First, she's still planning something and second, she's not the one who sent me the threat. This is frustrating.

"How can a little girl like you drink so much and never get drunk?" natatawang tanong sa akin ni Jireh.

I'm bored and everybody is inside the house so I decided to go here at Jireh's bar and drink. Jireh's already drunk and his hand is over my leg right now. I want to punch him but we're with his friends so I can't. Pasimple kong tinanggal ang kamay niya at hindi na niya ito ibinalik. Sa halip, ibakbayan niya ako.

"You guys are proof that age doesn't matter." a friend of Jireh said drunkenly. "I want to have a beautiful young girlfriend too." natatawang sabi niya.

Sumang ayon naman ang ibang kaibigan ni Jireh. These pigs.

"Yeah. You're all invited to our wedding." sinisinok na sabi ni Jireh.

Lihim akong napairap. He's really drunk and he's spouting nonsense. Wedding? We're not even together.

Another reason why I don't want to stay in the house is because tomorrow is Kaylee's birthday. My old friends and my siblings are all in the living room because Val said they'll wait until 12 am. It's been their tradition to wait until midnight if one of them will celebrate his/her birthday. It will just hurt me to see them like that because I used to be part of their troublemaker squad.

It's already 11 pm. Isang oras nalang ay kaarawan na ni Kaylee at hanggang ngayon ay pinag iisipan ko pa rin kung babatiin ko ba siya o hindi. At kung babatiin ko man siya, paano ko iyon gagawin? Napabuntong hininga ako bago nilagok ang bote ng alak na hawak ko.

"Olivia, easy!" sinubukang agawin ni Jireh ang iniinom ko. "You'll die of alcohol intoxication because of what you're doing."

Said the drunk one. This alcohol has no effect on me. Mauuna pa siyang mamatay sa alak bago ako.

"Worry about yourself first, Jireh." nakangiwing sabi ko sa kanya. "I think you should sleep. You're a mess."

Nagpatuloy nalang ako sa pag inom. Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas nang kinalabit ako ni Jireh.

He smirked. "Wanna go to my room with me?"

Here we go again. When will he stop?

"I need to be home soon. I have class tomorrow." pagsisinungaling ko.

Tomorrow is Sunday and I don't have classes during the weekends. And every Sunday, there are only morning classes. Sa aming lahat ay sila Raven at Jed lang ang may klase tuwing linggo.

"Kiiijoy." saad niya at humilig sa upuan.

I think he's about to pass out. Weakling.

Iinom na sana ulit ako ng alak nang biglang tumindig ang mga balahibo ko. I feel like someone's watching me. Napatingin ako sa paligid pero wala akong nakitang kakaiba. Until I saw someone familiar staring at me at the corner of the bar. Napakunot ang noo ko. Anong ginagawa niya dito?

"Excuse me. I need to go." paalam ko sa mga kaibigan ni Jireh. "Please take care of Jireh for me." dagdag ko pa.

Mabilis akong tumayo at nilapitan ang taong iyon. Nagulat siya ng lumapit ako, lalo na nang hinawakan ko siya sa braso at hinila papalabas ng bar.

"Why are you here?" naiinis na tanong ko nang makalabas kami.

He stared at me. "I don't know." simpleng sagot niya. "You tell me. I don't know what's happening to me whenever you're around." may bahid ng inis na sabi niya.
