Raven's POV:

kakauwi ko lang kasi sinamahan ko si seichi na mag coffee, I was about to enter our house when my phone vibrates. Ibig sabihin someone chatted me, i was about to check it when my brother called me.

" Gelo! " he blocked the way, here we go again :)

" yes? " i replied with force smile

" sumama ka sakin, dad wants to talk to you. Stop disrespecting our father. " he said

" how many times do i need to tell you, he's not my father. Sabi nya diba he doesn't want a son like me? so why are you here forcing me to go in that jail. " i said nicely

" gelo, it's our HOUSE. why are you so stubborn, do you think i want to go in this crappy house and sunduin ka?? huh masyadong mataas na ata yang tingin mo sa sarili mo. " my brother kevin said

" Pardon me? crappy house? this house is belong TO OUR MOTHER. You heard me right di ka naman siguro bingi. How dare you disrespect our mother's property, you know what i asked you to leave nicely and here you are being scandalous. " i said with a sarcastic laugh

suddenly he punch me hard enough for my lips to have bruise. I spit out the blood and look at him.

" want to hurt me more? mukhang di pa din kayo kontento sa mga trauma na binigay nyo sakin? HAHAHAHAHAHA " I said he grabbed my shirt again and about to punch me again when someone spoke

" you two idiots stop that. " celine said sternly as we both look at her.

" gelo, get inside the car. you're going with us. Kevin, fix your fucking attitude stop acting like you rule everything. " celine said before entering the car

i entered the shotgun seat, as my beloved sister just throw herself in me.

" don't let kevin hurt you like that, you can just punch him. Pero dapat di mo na lang sya pinansin " she said while crying

" you know achi, i can manage don't worry stop crying na it's not your fault okay? " i assured her

mins passed as we arrived at our beloved house which my father own

as i entered the main door books went flying to me.

" how dare you hurt your own brother! " he shouted

" Wala ka na ngang kwenta ganyan ka pa umasta anong pinapatunayan mo huh " i stand still ignoring his words

" wala ka na talagang balak ayusin yang buhay mo ha, hinde ka ba nag iisip paano kung napuruhan mo si Kevin " he said

" hinde mo manlang inisip mararamdaman ko, gelo pagod na pagod na ko. Umayos ka naman, makinig ka sakin " as he holds his chest, celine immediately helped him

" bakit mo ba ko pinapunta dito? " i answered looking at him sternly

" baka nag sisisi kana sa mga desisyon mo " he said

" you know what dad, leaving this house is the best decision i made. I don't even regret it. " i said

" bastos ka talaga! " kevin said and he was about to punch me again

" wala ka na talagang galang ha, lumalaki na talaga yang ulo mo " as kevin shouted

i kneel in front of them and lowered my head

" I'm sorry if i disrespect and hurted you egos. I'm also sorry for ruing this family reputation " I bowed before standing up

" yun lang naman gusto nyo diba? " i smiled fakely before leaving

as i walked celine ran to me.

" are you okay? I'm really sorry hinde kita kayang protektahan I'm so useless " as she cried again

" achi, like i said earlier it's not your fault okay? and I'm fine I'll go home na let's hangout sometimes " i hugged her before entering my car

" fuck this world " i said before closing my eyes. But before i dozed off i remembered the chat that i didn't able to check

i was about to check it but there's none, inunsend ata? di ko manlang nakita kung sino nag send.
