Always and Forever (COMPLETED)

Chapter 31

Kaylee Andrea Sinclair

"You're alive?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko.

Ilang beses akong napakurap. Am I hallucinating? Nagtagal ang tingin ko kay Olivia na nakapako ang tingin sa daan. I can't believe this. She's alive? But I thought...

"Aren't you going to talk?" inis na tanong ko sa kanya.

Her friends and her sister are crying nonstop because they think she's already dead but she's alive all this time. Umusbong ang galit sa aking dibdib. I don't know why I'm feeling this, but I'm really so angry that I want to just shout at her.

I ran away from everyone because they're not telling me a goddamn thing. Val and Collins are not in good terms because I don't know why. Val's ignoring Collins and the latter still won't leave his room because he thinks Olivia's dead and for some reason, he's really hurt. We used to be the closest, but when I asked him about what was happening, he didn't say a word. He can't even look at me.

Then there's Mikhael. They went back to Valenn because of us who stayed. I don't know what his problem is, but he suddenly broke up with me. I asked for his reason but he didn't say a thing. I got pissed. Another reason why I ran away.

Jed is still not himself until now. Jassy is so worried about her brother, but Jed won't say a thing. It's also obvious that Val and Cole are mad at him because they think it was Jed who killed Olivia. But Olivia is fucking alive beside me.

I can also tell that my aunts know something they don't want us to know. They told us about Gale's evil plan of killing the whole family, but I know there's something else. Why are they protecting Olivia's kids? Does Olivia know that they are staying with the Sinclairs? Fuck.

I also had an argument with my dad because I insisted on staying at Valenn when he ordered us to go home. They've been so protective of me since I was a kid, and I know that's understandable given they made a lot of enemies who are constantly trying to kill us. But I'm so sick of it. I'm tired of them always treating me like a kid. I can handle myself.

Napatingin ako kay Olivia. Nakatuon pa rin ang atensyon niya sa daan. Fuck, everything's a mess because of this girl. Even if Cole won't tell me, I have a feeling that Val is mad at him because of Olivia. I can also feel that Olivia's the reason why Mikhael broke up with me.

"I'm driving." simpleng sagot lang ni Olivia ng halos pabulong.

How can she still be so calm while everyone around her is in chaos? Why don't she just come back? Sa inis ko ay hinablot ko ang braso niya at mabilis siyang napapreno.

"What the hell?" sigaw niya. "Are you trying to kill us both?" dagdag pa niya.

She's exaggerating. She's not gonna die, and I won't either. Kahit madilim ay nakita kong bahagyang nakayuko siya ngayon habang kagat ang kanyang pang ibabang labi. She can't look at me, and I can't read her facial expression. She looks pissed, or nervous. I don't know.

I'm mad at her. I want to shout at her. Siya ang rason kung bakit sobrang gulo ng buhay namin ngayon. If we didn't meet her, maybe we're all still living peacefully. Ang dami kong gustong itanong sa kanya, ngunit hindi ko alam kung saan magsisimula. This is so frustrating.

"You need to go home. Your family and friends are worried." she said in a low voice.

"How did you know that?" mapang usisang tanong ko.

Nagtagal ang titig ko sa kanya. May dumaan na sasakyan at muli kong nakita ang kabubuan ng kanyang mukha. Sa maikling sandali na iyon ay nakita ko ang kwintas na nakasabit sa kanyang leeg.

I see.

So Raven knows she's still alive, and I'm sure Raven's also the one who told her that I ran away. But how did she get here? How did she know I'm here?
