Chapter Eleven - The Decision's Now or Never

Chapter Eleven - The Decision's Now or Never

Hearing mom say that just struck me. I mean, she's been making me study really hard just to be on top. My dream was to be the topnotcher when I graduate...

"Joy... Joy? Are you still there?" Mitch said, but everything was blurry. My eyesight, my hearing, and my mouth was left open.

I stood up, walked a few meters, then rode my Penny all the way to the apartment. Mitch was catching up on me, trying to stop me, but I pushed him away and kept on going.

MITCH'S POV

Joy sat there frozen. Her eyes watering up, her mouth partly open, and she was just staring at a distance.

"Joy... Joy? Are you still there?" I asked. She didn't seem to hear me cause she didn't even answer me. After a couple of minutes, she blinked.

She stood up, walked away from me, then she rode Pastel a few meters away. I tried to catch up on her, also riding the Penny she lent me.

I grabbed her shoulder and asked, "Where are you going? What happened?"

She threw my hand away from her shoulder, and went on. Fortunately, I knew a shortcut going to the apartment, so I'll be explaining everything before she even comes back...

JOY'S POV

I went inside our apartment and walked what seem to be an endless hallway today.

"...then she ran away," I can hear someone say.

I stopped in the middle of the hallway. I then recalled what had happened from before... Everything was a blur, but I can still remember everything that happened.

I continued walking along going to the living room, stopping at the entrance. I saw Nela, Raf...

and Mitch.

"Joy... What happened?" Nela said, giving me a serious look.

"I-I... I don't even know," I was lost for words. I didn't even know how or what to tell Nela.

She brought out her phone, dialed someone, and held her phone against her ears.

NELA'S POV

I dialed Joy's mom's number. As what Mitch had said, her mom called when all these happened.

"Hello? Nela? Is Joy alright?" She sad, her voice creaking in.

"Yes Auntie, she's alright... Pardon me for asking, but what was the last thing you told Joy?" I asked.

"Well... I told her she may or may not enter her last year of uni this year," she replied.

oh crap.

"Umm, thanks Auntie Glends, I'll call back when she's okay," I told her then we both hung up.

"Joy..." I said.

/---/---/---/---/---/---/---/

JOY'S POV

"Joy..." Nela said. I looked at her. She was looking at me worriedly, but I don't know why she's so worried about me.

"It was a decision, Joy... You can go to college and finish it and actually earn a degree, or you won't and go home to the Philippines," she said, "it's your choice."

I was still shocked at what happened. I mean, my mom? Restraining me from studying or finishing? I can't believe what I had just actually heard from her!

"I-I don't know... I'll answer later," I said. I turned around and went to my room. I lied down my bed and faced the wall, staring at it.

The thoughts couldn't stop revolving around my head. What if mom ran out of money to let me study? What if mom didn't believe that I can be successful and all? What if... What if...

/---/---/---/---/---/---/---/

I fell asleep from all the thoughts I've been making. I checked the time, and it's 7:25 PM. I was in a sitting position on my bed, still thinking on what I was gonna answer. I approached the mirror, just to see that my eyes were swollen up. It was puffy and red.

Maybe dropping out is not much of a bad idea...

I went to the living room/kitchen/dining area and found that Mitch, Nela, and Raf bought some Chinese takeouts. They were eating in the living room.

"Hey... Umm, about the decision," I said, "I think... I'm gonna drop out, but I've thought of it, I can do so much things when I drop out."

Nela stood up, went to me, and hugged me really tight.

"That's my girl," she said.

"I know, I know..."

/---/---/---/---/---/---/---/

RAF'S POV

I was about to go to Nela's room, about to sleep, when I heard something from Joy's bedroom.

"Oh hopes and dreams, I'm sorry, but I have to give up on you right now," she said. I can hear her voice creaking, I think she was about to cry.

"Maybe I can start fresh... To new goals in life..."

I entered our room, telling Nela what she just said.

"You know, her dreams and some college stuff are really important to her," she said, "she wants to be an architect, at the same time, a graphics design artist."

"Huh. Wait till she sees my works," I proudly said.

"You know, you're such a selfish prick. Now go and wash then let's sleep, I'm too tired," she said.

Okay, Miss Bossy-pants...

/---/---/---/---/---/---/---/

JOY'S POV

"Babe, I know it's hard to accept, but you have to!" Mitch told me.

"I AM trying!!" I shouted back.

"Okay, okay, chill dude. I'm just trying to point and help you out," he replied.

Then we slept... That's all.

A/N: Everyone needs to have their POV, am i right?

But I think this is the chapter that I had put the most effort in. AND IT'S LONGER NOW.
