Expect The Unexpected(Season 1) COMPLETED

Chapter 18: A Plane Away

Cheska:

"Are you sure? Pwede ko naman siyang ipatapon para di mo na siya makita sa school. I can also staple those judgmental mouths of the students in Aspencart."

I looked at him. Ibinaba ko ang mga damit na ilalagay ko sa maleta. He looks so angry but worried.

"Kuya, you don't need to. Babalik din naman ako. I'll just stay there for a week. Since wala namang classes ngayon kasi intramurals, I'll grab the chance to pay a visit in Beijing." Nawala yung galit sa mukha niya pero mas lalong naging worried ang mukha ni kuya Lance. "And, I think I need to breathe. I need to be away from here. Hindi ko naman tinatakasan ang problemang pinasok ko. I just need some time."

"None of this was your fault Cheska. It's his fault. Hindi ko siya titigilan. He made this mess, I'll give him war."

Tumalikod siya but I can see his jaws tightened.

I heard the gang disbanded because of me. I never thought Kuya will do all of this because of me. Akala ko palagi siyang naiirita sakin at wala siyang pakialam sa akin. But I'm wrong.

"Chescute, ready for a plane ride again?"

Sasha lurked towards me and gave me a tight hug.

She pulled back and cupped my face. "I'll miss you Cheska. Mamimiss kong kabaduyan mo."

I let out slight giggle.
Despite all the pain JJ caused, Sasha made me feel contented somehow.

"You know what? I've always liked you." I gave her a confusing look. "I liked you for being fragile in the outside but strong inside. I wish I'm like you."

"But Sasha, you're a.."

"A bitch? Yes. But I'm weak here." She pointed on the left side of her chest. "You, you're strong enough to handle all your burdens without anyone's help. You can think of a way to take it out easily. You're a dauntless."

"I'm a stiff." We both laughed. "Fuck off those divergent expressions of yours."

Inayos na ni kuya ang mga gamit ko.

"C'mon Chescute, I'm sending you to China!"
Sasha shrieked.

Yes, I'm going to China. Time to visit a father. :)

Justin:

"Dude, umaga na. Uwi uwi rin."

I groaned when I felt the guard poking my underarm by his flashlight.

"Fuck-- Where am I?-- Sht. Anong oras na?"
Iginala ko ang mga mata ko and I saw tables. A stage. Stools and alcoholic drinks all settled. Fuck.

I'm still in the bar.

"Ikaw yung nakipag away dito kagabi. Nag iinuman kayo nung barkada mo tapos may sinuntok kang lalaki. Ang lakas mo tsong. Natakot tuloy sayo yung bouncer."

Hindi ko na siya pinansin at kinuha ko ang car key ko sa bulsa then went straight to the parking lot.

I drove my way to Aspencart.

After 15 minutes, nakarating na rin ako. Late as expected. Nagmadali akong pumunta sa SC office ko at kumuha ng spare clothes.

"Justin, galit na si coach. Ang tagal tagal mo. 2nd quarter na. They're beating us."

I nodded at Vitto and walked past him.

Everyone looked at me when I reached the court. Oh, I almost forgot. I still have bruises from yesterday's fight. And new ones from last night's fight at the bar. Fuck those eyes off!
