It's already evening when we arrive at Greenhill. Nag check in kami sa isang hotel at di tulad noong una, sa mas maayos na kami pumunta. Nakayuko lang si Olivia at sumunod sa akin papunta sa kwarto. Unlike before, this room has only one bed. Ayaw kong gumawa na naman siya ng rason para di ako kausapin.
"So that was your plan?" tanong ko sa kanya nang makapasok kami. "You planned to die without telling me or others about who you really are?" puno ng hinanakit na tanong ko.
"I don't want you and the others to get hurt, Kaye." halos pabulong na sabi niya. "I thought it was better if you knew nothing."
Mariin akong napapikit upang pakalmahin ang sarili ko. I know that I'm mad at her, but again, I fucking accept her reason. I understand her. She doesn't want us to know because it will be harder for us to accept her death and let go.
"But still, you should've told us. We deserve to know everything, Olivia." I heaved a sigh. "So we're sisters."
Mas lalo siyang napayuko. "We're not sisters, Kaye. I was adopted by mom and dad when I was a baby. Jed, Elijah and Jassy are my biological siblings."
I felt uneasy when she called my parents her mom and dad. That was just so weird.
I faked a laugh. "Yeah, right. And Raven is your real cousin. I was suspicious because Val knows you better than her. I'm guessing you only met her after we all forgot about you?"
She nodded. "I'm sorry for not telling you because I'm a coward. I don't have the courage to do it. I'm sorry for all the lies."
Glad to know she's aware that she lied to us a lot. Just thinking about all the lies she said makes my blood boil but I'm trying my best to calm down.
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. "Alright. Just please don't lie to me again." I said calmly.
Nag angat siya ng tingin sa akin ng nanlalaki ang mga mata. "Are you really Kaylee Andrea?" gulat niyang tanong.
Ah, she knows from the start that my second name is Andrea. Kilala niya na kaming lahat nang unang beses kaming magkita. That's why she didn't kill us back then. Bigla ko tuloy naalala ang sinabi ni Jassy na niligtas siya ni Olivia nang sinubukan niyang tumalon sa bangin. We all thought that was impossible because Olivia didn't know Jassy back then, but now I know that really did happen. Jassy is her sister so of course she'll save her. It's also not surprising that she was lurking around Esterville before.
Tumaas ang isang kilay ko. "What's with the question? Of course it's me."
"Why aren't you shouting at me?" nagtatakang tanong niya.
"Why? You want me to shout at you?"
Mabilis siyang umiling. She looks like a helpless kid right now. If we're not in this situation, I'd probably laugh at her.
"I still don't think this is a good idea, Kaye. I mean, running away from all of them. I'm sure mom and dad want to be with you. The others want to be with me too, especially Raven. Also, we just got our uncle Harlan back and you will lose him again after 2 days. " mahabang sabi niya.
"You wanna go back?" tanong ko sa kanya.
She bit her lower lip and looked away. "I wanna be selfish just for once."
Napangiti ako. I'll take that as a no. Hinila ko siya papunta sa kama at pareho kaming humiga ng nakaharap sa isa't isa.
"I'm so mad at you about everything, Olivia. But we only have two days left. I don't want to spend that time arguing with you." pabulong na sabi ko.
"Please call me Liv. You used to call me by my nickname." malungkot siyang ngumiti.
"And how do I call you when I'm mad at you?" I asked curiously.
