The Bitch, The Brat, and Me

The BITCH's POV

I almost flew off to the hospital after hearing about what happened to Joaquinne.

Pagdating doon ay agad kong hinanap kung saan ang kwarto niya. Ilang pinto pa ang nabuksan ko bago ko narating ang aking destinasyon.

Pagbukas ko ng silid ay bumungad ang natutulog na si Joaquinne, may ilang bandages siya sa mukha; sa gilid ng labi at sa bandang panga. May maliliit rin siyang sugat sa labi, at sa braso na hindi na nilagyan ng bandage.

I swear, I'm gonna kill whoever did that to her.

Kahit hinihingal pa sa ginawang pagtakbo mula sa secret haven ko hanggang dito, ay mabilis akong lumakad papunta sa kama niya. I leaned in my face to hers and feel her breath against it. I closed my eyes.

I returned my head and gazed at her sister, whose mindlessly staring at the door.

I sat down beside her. "Hey," Don't blame me, I'm not good at starting conversations.

Hindi naman ako bigo dahil lumingon siya sa 'kin, bakas ang pagod sa kanyang mukha. Somehow, I felt a pang of pity.

"Hey." She replied and give me a small smile. I can already tell how good her personality is.

"Kamusta daw ang ate mo?" I asked her, as if I'm her friend.

"Okay na siya, just waiting for her to wake up so she can take her meds."

I nodded.

I want to ask more. Like, who did that to her, who brought her here...

Tila narinig niya ang iniisip ko. "Lorraine. Lorraine Sebastian ang pangalan ng gumawa sa kanya niyan." I clenched my fists along with jaws because of unexplainable anger. "At si Cassie Sasaki ang nakakita at nagdala sa kanya dito."

Iyon ang hindi ko ine-expect.

The BRAT's POV

Even if I want to stay by Joaquinne's side I have to find that sh*thole and beat the hell outta her.

I want to cut her air supply with my own hands but I know I can't do it all by myself.

And so, right now, I'm heading to Mr. Sebastian's Office, the Headmaster. And Lorraine-the-devil's father.

I pushed the top floor button of the elevator here at the 46-storey building, the tallest and largest building here in Regona. Pagbukas na pagbukas pa lang ng pinto ng elevator ay sumugod agad ako sa pinto kung saan nakaukit ang mga salitang HEADMASTER'S OFFICE.

Sinubukan akong pigilan ng secretary pero huli na siya dahil naibalibag ko na ang pinto ng opisina ng ama ng demonyang si Lorraine. Bakas ang pagkagulat sa gwapo niyang mukha na agad ding nabura.

Magkasalubong ang kilay na naglakad ako sa harap ng desk niya and slammed my fist on it.

"What can I do for you, Jeonathan?" He really knows how to piss me off.

"First, kill your daughter. Second, I am not a f*cking guy for f*ck's sake so call me by my name!"
Pagsabog ko ng galit sa kanya.

He laughed because amusement. "She almost died after you beat her. You know, she's my daughter. I still care for her." Kalma niyang saad. "And Jeonathan is your name--"

"Shut the f*ck up or I'll tear you to pieces." I growled.

Lalong lumakas ang halakhak niya na nag-echo pa yata sa buong opisina. "Nakakaaliw ka talaga, inaanak!" Oh, man. "Anyway, tungkol kay Lorie, I grounded her for a month--"
