Inkblots (WILL TRY TO REVIVE)

5: FOOLS

But everything is shattering and it's my mistake. Only fools fall for you, only fools. Only fools do what I do, only fools fall.

"Kisses. Breakfast na muna." Sabi ni mom as she barged into my room without even knocking. "Mom." I groaned as I sat there still infront of my laptop trying to whip out words and imagery to try to make my story come alive.

"Nako. Ikaw na bata ka. Pano gagana yang utak kung walang laman ang tiyan." Sabi nya with her hands on her waist as she finished putting the tray down near me.

The smell of bacon and eggs with tuyo at sinangag never failed to appetize me, kaya ayun si Kisses imbes na ituloy yung ginagawa eh kumain na lang.

Hay. Food, why do you keep on tempting me?

"Nako. Sabi ko na talaga gutom ka." Sabi nya as she sat there on my bed and watched me as I ate away with enthusiasm. "By the way Ed will be going back here." Sabi nya. And there, I almost choke on my food.

Good lord.

Good thing I had quickly gulped down the water that mom brought with my food.

"Oh. Ayan kasi. Dahan dahan." Sabi nya sabay tawa. Good thing she didn't noticed that I choked because of the name she just brought up without a warning.

"Really? Why is he going home?" I asked as I intently stared on my plate trying really hard not to show any interest of what she is saying.

"Your tita told me he's going home because of vacation." She said and as I lifted my gaze I quickly regretted it. She was looking at me with a very wide smile.

Uh-oh. I am smelling that something is up.

Definitely. Knowing my mom and tita there is definitely something going on and I bet that I wouldn't like it.

"Oh. Okay." I said as I try to sound uninterested, because in the first place I really am not.

"And he'll be staying here." And there it was as if I was poured by a bucket of ice cold water. I don't really know why I am so shocked, I should have seen this coming. After all mom and tita have been the best of friends since they were kids.

I just nodded softly as I finished my breakfast and once more went back into trying to write something. "Sige Kisses, maiwan na muna kita." Mom chimed and soon left me alone.

But now my mind is filled with nothing but thoughts of him.

No. Not the guy who left me, but Edward.

We have been friends ever since, best friends even. But things change as time passes by and now he lives somewhere else. I am very much sure that he has changed a lot, and he might have turned snobbish.

Kisses. Focus.

I scolded myself as I turned back to my laptop.

"Okay. You can do this." I chanted as I streched my arms and soon laid my fingers on the keyboard. But I sat there with not a clue on what should I type.

Ugh. No. Kisses. Type okay, you need this one. Come on. But still no ideas popped into my head so I stood and decided to head for the pool to refresh my mind.

I sat there and decided to dip just my legs, it is too cold to dip myself maybe some other time.

I smiled as I remembered how he loved the water, of how he tells he is a demigod who is the son of Poseidon just like Percy Jackson. And he will tell me that I am like Annabeth, the daughter of Athena because I am full of wisdom and I am intelligent.

And just like Percy and Annabeth we can get through anything.

But he was wrong.

When I was falling into Tartarus he did not hold onto my hand to keep me from falling, and most of all he did not choose to fall with me into Tartarus. I fell all alone.

We were not like them in any way.

He is a traitor.

He is nothing like Percy Jackson.

And no I am not Annabeth. I am just Kisses, who is foolish enough to love and believe him.
