Game Over

Chapter 01

'He was gone, and I did not have time to tell him what I had just now realized: that I forgave him, the she forgave us, and that we had to forgive to survive the labyrinth.' [Looking for Alaska by John Green]

"Sky!!" I heard his voice once again. Sighing for the nth time of the day, I closed the book I was reading and looked at him.
"What?!" I asked, a bit irritated. He had been calling me all morning without any reason, if he doesnt have one now I am gonna kill him.
"Woah there.." he said as he raised both of his hands up in the air. "Ang aga aga napakasungit mo.." he stated
"I was reading a book and you kept interrupting me since this morning!!" I blurted out, glaring at him.
"Seriously sky? You've been reading that book for over a thousand times already, di ka ba nagsasawa? Saka bakit ba panay ang english mo? Wala na po tayo sa US!" He said then stuck his tongue out at me.
"Its none of your business. I can speak whatever language I want." I replied then rolled my eyes at his childish behavior.
"Hey! Im your older brother! Your business is my business!" He exclaimed making me roll my eyes once again
"Yeah.. older by a few seconds.." I mumbled to myself. Yes, you red it right. He is my twin brother, we're fraternal twins. "Whatever, what do you want this time?" I asked
"Its Saturday, my dear sister. Kailangan mo nang magrecord ng video para may maiupload naman ka naman. At sabi mo nagrequest sila ng colab vid kaya eto ako, ginugulo buhay mo.." he said, grinning like an idiot.
"Fine.." I said then stood up, leaving the book on my desk to set up my camera.
"Nagpractice ka ba?" I asked as I went into another room which was our studio then set up the tripod in front of a chair.
"Oo naman.. Palagi mo ba naman akong sabihan eh.. Akala mo ikaw yung mas matanda.." I heard him say as he entered the room.
I looked at him with furrowed brows after Im done setting the camera up.
"Excuse me?" I said as I placed my hands on my hips. "Mas matanda ka lang ng ilang segundo sakin Cloud, so stop acting like an older brother." Pagtataray ko sa kaniya
"Every second counts.." he replied then shrugged. Konti nalang talaga, makakapatay na ako ng tao. My twin brother to be exact.

I took a deep breath before letting go. "Relax, sky. Tiisin mo nalang yang kapatid mo.." sabi ko sa sarili ko
I took my guitar and sat down the chair before I started recording.

"Hey guys, Sky here! And welcome to another cover video by yours truly.." I greeted then bowed my head a bit. "I am very sorry guys if I havent had the chance to upload any videos as we were getting ready on going home to our home country, The Philippines! Which is where I am currently taking this video at.." I continued.

"So.. as a thank you for the long wait, we're now recording for the collaboration video you guys wanted me to do with this guy I called my brother.." I added and pointed at Cloud who was currently standing by my side. "Which is named Cloud, by the way.." he added. "Whatever." I said then looked back at the video cam and smiled. "By the way guys, he has his own youtube channel so subscribe to 'DarkCloudyNight' if you havent.." I said the gestured on the air where i would put the his channel name later. "Or you can just click the link in the description below.. He does dance covers and song covers too if he's in the mood.." I added. "Yeah.. we know.. we're one very talented twins.." Cloud said then I raised a brow at him. "Dont be too arrogant or no one will subscribe at your channel.." I said before facing back to the video cam.

"Anywho, we're going to cover the most requested song by you guys recently, Paper Hearts by Tori Kelly. And yes, Cloud is doing the dance thingy.." I said then cloud nodded. "So.. I hope you guys will like it.." I added then readied my guitar. I looked at cloud then nodded.

"1 - 2 - 3.." then I started to strum my guitar.

'Goodbye love, you flew right by love..' I sang as I continued to strum my guitar.'

Sana lang di ako magkamali dahil tinatamad akong mag edit ng video.

' Remember the way you made me feel
Such young love but
Something in me knew that it was real
Frozen in my head '

I looked at cloud at he started to dance.

' Pictures I'm living through for now
Trying to remember all the good times
Our life was cutting through so loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind
I hate this part paper hearts
And I'll hold a piece of yours
Don't think I would just forget about it
Hoping that you won't forget about it

Everything is gray under these skies
Wet mascara
Hiding every cloud under a smile
When there's cameras
And I just can't reach out to tell you
That I always wonder what you're up to

Pictures I'm living through for now
Trying to remember all the good times
Our life was cutting through so loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind
I hate this part paper hearts
And I'll hold a piece of yours
Don't think I would just forget about it
Hoping that you won't forget'

I live through pictures as if I was right there by your side
But you'll be good without me and if I could just give it some time
I'll be alright

Goodbye love you flew right by love

Pictures I'm living through for now
Trying to remember all the good times
Our life was cutting through so loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind
I hate this part paper hearts
And I'll hold a piece of yours
Don't think I would just forget about it'

I sang as he danced completely in sync with my singing, ending the song with the last chord.

'Hoping that you wont forget..'

Bigla namang pumalakpak si cloud ng napakalakas matapos ng emotional na paglulumpasay niya jan sa tabi. Actually, he was great but I'll never admit it. Lalaki ulo niyan eh.

"You were so great my dear sister!" He exclaimed at alam ko na na inaasar lang niya ako.
"Whatever.." I said then looked at the camera while smiling. "There we go guys.. An emotional paper hearts performance with my twin brother Cloud.. I hope you guys liked it and dont forget to comment your thoughts and leave a like!" I said cheerfully. "See you next time.. Byeeee~" I added then waved at the camera with Cloud waving back too.
"Hay.. natapos rin.." pagrereklamo ni cloud at umupo sa sahig. "Medyo hirap pa ko sa steps nun ah.." sabi niya
Tumayo naman ako at sinave you nirecord namin.
"Akala ko ba nagpraktis ka?" Tanong ko bago naglakad papunta sa laptop ko na nasa gilid ng studio.
"Oo nga.. pero isang linggo mo lang ako pinagpraktis.. Do you think the steps were that easy?" Sabi niya
Di ko nalang siya pinansin at sinimulan ko ng iedit yung video namin. Yung dulo lang naman tatanggalin ko at napasama yung pagrereklamo ni Cloud.

"Yeah.. yeah.. Just leave already.." sabi ko habang busy sa pageedit. I heard him grumble before I heard the door shut.

Finally, peace.

Well, anyways.. I havent introduced myself. I am Sky Gabrielle Tolentino and that was my twin brother Cloud Gabriel Tolentino. We're both pure Filipinos but our family migrated in US when we were five. My twin and I are both quite popular youtubers that does covers and play games for people's entertainment since we were highschool students. Di ko alam kung ano bang naisip naming magkapatid noon pero we're both glad that we make people happy with the videos we make. And I needed to live my life cause you know, you only live once. We're on our first year of college and we just moved from US to here. I dont know what the reason is but Im glad to be home after so many years.

Nagfocus na ako sa panunuod ng video namin ng may mapansin ako sa intro namin.
"CLOUD!!!" I screamed. Pano ba naman kasi?! Yung magaling kong kapatid ay nagmamake face habang nagsasalita ako ng introduction namin. Bakit hindi ko manlang napansin ang kalokohan nitong kapatid ko?! I put to much trust on him when we recorded! "Wala ka ba talagang gagawing matino sa buhay?!"

"Hahaha! Peace be with you Sky!!" He screamed back then I heard the front door shut.
I groaned in frustration. Wala na akong choice!! I hit upload.
