Loving Him

XI

Macxim's P.O.V.
5 weeks later

"Why won't she answer me?" I cried.

It was already five weeks since Jewel went to the Philippines and she hasn't answered any of my texts or her friends. I tried calling her on oovoo, but she wouldn't answer also.

Ever since Jewel left Canada, all I have been is a mess. Every day my eyes would be red from crying, my pillow would be wet from my tears and my bedroom floor would be filled with tissues.

People tried to calm me down and tell me everything would be fine and Jewel will come back, but I just ignored them and stare at my phone; waiting for her to text me.

"Macxim," said my big brother Marty. "She will come back."

"But when?" I said with my voice cracking.

"Soon," said Marty. "Come on stop crying. Jewel wouldn't want to come back here and see you all miserable."

I nodded slowly, thinking about Jewel crying when she sees my like this.

"You better now?" Marty asked.

"A little bit," I replied.

"Well it's supper time, let's go eat," said Marty.

I slowly got out of my bed and walked to the kitchen.

Me: yeah, a little bit..

Rose: well that's good

Ara: Rose do you know what happened to Jewel? Like why she isn't answering us

Rose: well the only reason why she's not answering us, is probably because she left her phone here in Canada...

Krystal: HOW CAN SHE FORGET HER PHONE?

Rose: well if your stressed and concentrated on going to the Philippines to see if your grandma is fine, you would forget to pack some things

Ara: yeah true

Me: so that means she's okay right?

Rose: yeah I'm pretty sure she is doing alright
