Bad Chapter 27: The truth behind lies

•••Jax's Point of View•••

"Jax! Totoo ba?" salubong sa akin ni Melissa. I can hear her heavy breathing.

"They're after you, jax!" I just smiled. I knew it even before she told me. "Ano nang gagawin mo? they are already planning on how to kill you! You must do something." sigaw nya na parang naiinis na.

I held her both arms para mawala ang kaba at takot nya para sa akin. "Im planning for everyone's safety." I said smiling.

Tumingin sya sa'kin na parang di ako maintindihan. "Lisa, you know game is just a game. You can't play unfair, you have to play according to the rules or else, you might lose." I said. But in order to save someone, you can be unfair. In that, you know you win.

"Jax, you're the only one family left that I have, you know that and I can't lose you." she hugged me.

I know "but" she cut me off..."but if you were about to save Elaine, it's fine with me then..." Hindi ako makapaniwala sa sinabi nya, so she knew everything....

"Im friends with Elaine, I know her. If she's the one you'll be saving then I think, it's more than worth it." I don't know what to say because she completely understands my situation, there's nothing more i could wish to a sister like her.

"I know you would understand so thank you." I calmly stated and she smiled but just a seconds her smile fades.

"But does she know?" nakita ko ang pagaalala sa kanyang mga mata. "she doesn't need to know anything." I said and she just let me hug her.

••• Melissa's Point of View •••

Umalis ako at iniwan si Jax para makapagisip-isip. Hindi ko alam kung anung pinaplano nya at hindi ko rin alam kung anung gagawin ko. I have to do something. I called Clei's digits. "Maghanda ka Clei, may pupuntahan tayo." payo ko at biniba ang telepono.

Dumeretso ako sa bahay ni Francine kung saan nakita ko si Clei na nagaantay sa akin.
"Anong problema? Bakit bigla mong gustong makita si Francine?" pagtatanong ni Clei habang papasok kami sa loob.

"Akala ko ba binabantayan mo si Elaine?" sa galit ko, tiningnan ko sya ng matalim at ganun din ang ibinigay nya sa'king tingin.

"You think na madali lang 'yon? Akala mo ba madali lang na lumapit sa anak ng taong pumatay sa mga magulang ko?" Ramdam ko ang galit nya nang biglang mariin nyang hinawakan ang braso ko.

"Kung ganon, sa simula pa lang hindi ka na sana nag volunteer..." kalmado kong sabi at tiningnan sya nang seryoso. "Because you failed." tugon ko.

"What do you mean failed?" bigla sumingit si Francine sa amin.

"Mr. Gil is back again, he's planning to kill Jax."

"Edi mabuti. Kahit ako gusto kong patayin yung step brother mo eh." pagtataray nya, alam kong tunog ng pilosopo iyon kaya naman nagtaas ako ng kilay.

"Wala ka man lang bang concern sa buhay ng bestfriend mo?" agad nyang binaling ang atensyon nya sa akin. "What about Elaine?" kabado nyang tanong.

"Don't tell us na si Jax ang may kasalanan na nama....." I cut Clei's off.

"Alam nyo naman na sa simula pa lang diba na kahit anong gawin nyo, si Elaine ay involved dito. Her real dad was the former leader of the Underground business and her mother was a former assasin. Bago pa lang ipanganak si Elaine, bago nyo pa sya makilala she's already involved and you can't do anything to stop it." pagkaklaro ko sa kanilang dalawa. Kaunti na lang ay magdurugo na ang kamay ni Francine dahil sa diin nang pagkagigil nya.
