Always and Forever (COMPLETED)

Chapter 44

It's been 4 days since I went home. I miss Olivia so much. We get in touch through text messages but that's not enough. I want to see her.

She's at their town with Raven. They just got home today because they travelled to another country. Sinusulit na nila ang natitirang panahong kasama nila ang mga magulang nila kaya hindi ko siya masisisi. I want to be with her, but I can't ask her to leave her family for me. 3 days left before the comet. Everyone's anxious but they don't show it. Panay ang bilin sa akin nila mom at dad, at ni minsan ay hindi pa nila ako pinapagalitan simula nang makauwi ako.

Nandito ako ngayon sa kwarto kung saan natutulog ang dalawang bata. They're too young to be manipulated. Who knows what will happen if aunt Riley didn't put them to sleep.

Napangiti ako nang may nakita akong drawing sa bedside table. I'm pretty sure that it's a drawing of Tristan and Olivia with the twins. For a three year old kid, the one who drew this is actually pretty good. Binasa ko ang pangalan na nakasulat sa baba.

Lucas Malachai S. Rivers

S? It's supposed to be M for Morgan. Maybe the kid still doesn't know the letters that well, but he has the potential to become a great artist. Sinulyapan ko ang kambal sa huling pagkakataon bago lumabas ng kanilang kwarto.

"What do you want to eat for dinner, Kaye? I'm gonna cook for you." nakangiting sabi ni mommy nang makita niya ako.

I smiled at her. "Anything, mom. I love everything you cook."

Lumapit siya sa akin at umupo sa tabi ko. "You look sad. What's wrong?" puno ng pag aalala niyang tanong.

Natahimik ako. I don't know what to say. I'm sad because I miss Olivia and because all of them will die in 3 days. But I'm afraid to tell her about Olivia. They don't like her and I'm sure they'll get mad once they find out about my feelings for her.

"Is your breakup with Mikhael still affecting you?" muling tanong ni mommy.

I shook my head. "We're okay, mom. I already moved on."

Natawa siya. "That was fast. Is there someone else?"

Again, I didn't answer. Nag iwas ako ng tingin. Ayaw kong magsinungaling kay mommy, pero hindi ko alam kung kaya ko bang sabihin sa kanya ang kung ano mang meron sa amin ni Olivia.

"I'm your mom, Kaye. You can tell me anything. You don't have to be afraid." kalamadong sabi ni mommy at hinaplos ang pisngi ko.

"I'm just sad that I will lose a lot of people I love. And also..." napayuko ako. "I miss Olivia."

Natahimik si mommy. Hindi ko alam kung ilang segundo o minuto ang lumipas bago siya muling nagsalita.

"Do you like her?" kalmadong tanong niya pa rin.

"No, mom." mabilis kong sagot. "I'm in love with her."

Narinig ko ang malalim na buntong hininga niya. "I only met that kid once but I know she's a good person. I don't know why but I feel so comfortable with her presence. It's calming."

Nag angat ako ng tingin kay mommy at nakita kong nakangiti siya habang nakatingin sa malayo. I thought she was gonna be mad.

"She has that effect on people. Even though she's a head ripping serial killer." natatawang sabi ko.

Mom laughed. "Well, your dad was even worse than her but I still fell in love with him. So both of us have a thing with serial killers, huh?"

We both laughed at what she said. I started telling her about Olivia and me and she listened attentively to everything I said. I feel so happy and relieved at the same time. I'm glad that I can share this information with my mom.
