delcroix heirs' academy ✔ chapter twenty four

gabrielle stephanie kane.

It's Sunday morning, but rain is not falling. Urgh. Such a dead pun. Anyway, I'm sitting down on bed while typing away on my laptop. I need something to get myself busy, kasi... uuwi daw si mum.

And I don't think I ever want her to go home. Especially at a time like this.

I was writing a script about whatever play I want in my mind, and thought about my life.

In the end, I ended up writing about every single one of us in Delcroix. What will they say kaya kung nabasa nila ito?

To be honest, I feel kind of left out. Parang gusto kong umalis dito, and start a new life. I feel like napag-iiwanan na ako.

Si Theia, she's doing great with ballet, and I feel or sense that Leo has developed some sense of protectiveness over her after going with her to Rakuzen. I'm starting to think that they could be great friends.

Si Romaine, she's gained some more entertainment and fun with her life after she and Harvee became friends. And I also think they'd be cute together, but then I secretly ship her with Vance, too. They're like the male and female version of each other.

Si Axelle naman, I saw her paintings last week. They were great. And Ethan also thinks so, because he's told me lots about her that I'm starting to think na he looks up to Axelle.

And me... I'm stuck with a dysfunctional family and a dysfunctional club.

Anyway, my phone beeped, and I unlocked it to see who messaged me.

new message.

Hay, Apollo. I don't know what I'd do with you. You could've contacted me that night pero hindi mo ginawa. Tapos dinala mo pa sa Delcroix si 'Lils'? You know what, there won't be a 'next time'. Ayokong may nagsasabi sa akin na hindi naman tinutupad.

I sighed, and was startled when someone knocked on my door.

"State your name and business with me," sabi ko sa kumatok, still sitting on my bed.

"Stephanie Kane, I want to see my lovely daughter," the voice of my mum said, and I paused.

No. I don't want to see her. Anong gagawin ko? My hand trembled, as I reached for the door knob.

My mum used to be fun when I was younger, until she went away for more movies to make. For more actors to meet. For more directors to meet. And I started thinking na she forgot about us already. Masakit, eh.

We used to giggle and eat together, go shopping together. But it was all gone and buried deep in my mind.

I opened the door, and was met with the figure of my mother.

She had ginger hair like mine, and rosy skin. Her eyes were bluish, and her smile held a secret.

But I uncovered that secret. She was going to break the news to me, and she thinks I don't know it yet or dad hasn't told me yet.

She then hugged me, and I hesitantly hugged back. She then closed my bedroom door and led me to my bed to sit down with me, with a sad smile across her face.
