Broken Boy meets Broken Girl

Chapter 1

Chapter 1- My fault

Kagigising ko lang. I don't even have an idea kung bakit nagising ako ng ganito kaaga. Imagine, madalas akong nagigising siguro around 1:00 or 2:00 PM. Pero this time? 5:00 AM.

Anyway, I decided to take an early shower kaysa tumunganga lang ako dito. Then, I wore my blue-green shorts and white cropped top. Wala pang gising na maid to prepare my breakfast so I checked my phone instead.

Raven calling...

''What?!'' pagalit kong bati. It's rude, I know. But can you blame me, though? I was about to tweet something when this person interrupted. Sino ba naman ang hindi maiirita, 'di ba?

''I have to tell you something.. It's about your sis--''

''Yes Yaya. I'll just go upstairs to change my clothes. Then you can go home and take a day off.''

I overheard someone. Napa-awang ang bibig ko. Hindi ko na napakinggan ang sasabihin no'ng best friend ko because the voice is so familiar.

Then it hit me. My sister. Shit. Bigla akong nanginig. This is so not happening to me!

"Raven, I'll call you later. Bye."

''Bu--'' She was about to say something pero hindi ko na siya pinatapos. I immediately ended the call.

Nanginginig akong bumaba. Tapos ay nilapitan ko ang isa sa aming maids.

"Ya, sino yung narinig ko kanina? Do we have a visitor?" I asked like an innocent child. Oh, Lord. Please tell me hindi siya 'yung narinig ko.

"Ay. Si Lady Elizabella po nandito na." she said. The moment that I heard her name bigla nalang akong nanigas sa kinakatayuan ko. She's back.

"Ang aga aga pinagtsitsismisan niyo ako? But anyway, you heard it right, Xien. Your sister is back. Elizabella Grey is back." she said with a smirk on her face.

I slowly turned around for me to see her. ''Who are you? I mean, do I even know you?'' Nakakunot ang noo ko.

"Puh-lease, stop playing games with me, Xien. Let's talk later." maarte niyang sabi.

"No thanks. I'm a very busy person. So, I wouldn't think twice on not  wasting my precious time on you." I replied then went upstairs.

I slammed the door very hard and locked myself in. I'm so fucking tired of crying. But I want to pour my feelings out.

Aside from crying, I paint a lot to pour my emotions out.  Tama, ilalabas ko nalang 'to through painting. Just like the old times.

After I finished my artwork. Nagulat ako, kasi paint lang pala ako ng paint tapos ang emo na agad ng na paint ko. Maganda naman ang kinalabasan kahit medyo minadali. Pero at least na ilabas ko yung sama ng loob ko.

Napa-buntong hininga ako. Talk about tired and starving. I'm fucking starving pero hindi pwede. I don't want to talk to her, well kahit nga makita siya ayoko, eh.

Habang naka-titig sa kawalan ay naisipan ko nalang tawagan si Raven. Tutal naging rude naman ako sa kaniya, I might as well call her again, to apologize.

Calling Raven...

''What?!''she said with an irritated voice.

"I understand na galit ka. Kaya, I'm s-sorry.." sambit ko. Ang hina ng pagkasabi ko. Especially the word 'I'm sorry.'

''Ok. Fine. I forgive you. Nag-aalala lang naman kasi ako eh.'' aniya.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Nag-aalala? Bakit?

"Why?"

''It's about your sister. She's back, Xien. Kaya don't be surprised kung dadating s'ya di yan mamaya or maya-maya.''

"Oh, that. Thanks. By the way, 'yon na nga sana ang sasabihin ko. Kasi, no'ng binaba ko yung phone call parang may narinig ako na familiar voice kaya pinatay ko 'yung call at chineck kung tama ba 'yung narinig ko."

''Ah. Ok. I have to go na ha?'' she said. Huh? ang bilis naman yata.

I ignored it and said, "Ok. Bye."

Lalong kumunot ang noo ko. Nakakapagtaka lang. Kasi, parang she's in a hurry? Eh as far as I know, she's not doing anything nor expecting someone kasi she updates me naman if ever.  

Nag-kibit balikat nalang ako. At napa-hawak sa tyan ko. My god! Hindi ko na talaga kaya. I'm so hungry. Mukha namang tahimik yung paligid. So, siguro pwede na akong lumabas without seeing her ugly face.

I slowly opened the door and started walking. Unfortunately, bukas 'yong pinto niya and nakalimutan kong magkatabi nga pala kami ng room.

I didn't mean to check her, it's just that I'm curious kung ano ang ginagawa niya. Weird thing though, is that she's awfully quiet. 

"I k-know.. It's my fault. P-pero, b-bakit...ganun? Ang..s-sakit s-sakit.." aniya.
