Jean's P.O.V
You know what, I am gonna enjoy myself today, I have my own money, I'm with my friends, and I am at the mall.
We could literally go to the arcade and have fun, we could eat wherever we want, we could buy things...
"Hey Athena, got any spare change? I'm thinking about going to the arcade, we need coins for that" I asked.
"Um, yeah, I think I do, oh! Here it is, I have P. 50 in the form of coins, I have P. 30 in the form of piso, and P. 20 in the form of 5 pesos"
She stated while searching through her bag, we both looked at Kayla.
"You know me, guys, I always have coins in my pouch haha" she said while chuckling.
All of us went to the arcade that is just a few walks from where we are, this mall has 2 arcades in total, the other one is on the other side of the mall, near the exit.
All of us tried to get a stuffed toy from the Claw machine, we unfortunately didn't get any, however, we did get little toys that looks like a keychain.
We decided to hit the restaurant near us, perfect, it's Tokyo Tokyo.
We ordered and ate, got a few laughs and maybe even spilled some dirty secrets AKA Talking crap about the people that treats us like crap for no reason.
We suddenly talked about me and Rob, also the incident with me and Gale.
"So, I just walked away from him that Christmas Eve, I didn't wanna see him anymore, I love Rob now, I'm just hurt because of the fact that he would literally claim that he loves me and then cheat on me with 7 different girls" I explained
I was holding back my tears from falling, I didn't wanna cry here, not here, not now.
They just stared at me with sympathetic eyes and then Athena rubbed my shoulder in a caring manner.
I already told them about Rob's situation and the thing about the hospital.
I just can't hold it in for too long, it feels as if my heart is slowly sinking like the Titanic.
After we ate, we just walked around the mall amd decided to go shopping for groceries.
I need to atleast buy something for my sister.
But before I can even pick something, I saw Athena take out her phone and look at the time, 3:00 PM.
"Hey, I really need to go, I need to take care of something, my grandmother is gonna be mad at me if I stay too long at the mall" she said, Kayla and I just gave her a reassuring smile and hugged her.
"Have a wonderful new year, darling" Kayla said before watching Athena walk fastly towards the exit.
Soon enough, both of us just went home after we buy everything that we need.
I unlock the door and saw my mom sleeping on the couch with the television on, I just went straight to the fridge and place the things that I bought for the whole family in general and then went upstairs to place everything that I bought for myself on my mini fridge.
I sat on my bed and looked at my phone for new messages.
ImAPrincess-BOWDOWN: Hey Jean, thank you for today, I think I'm speaking for Kayla and I if I tell you that we had a great time.
Hey, no problem Athena, you've been there with me through out the whole year of my life, I was just this transfer student and yet when we discover that both of us likes Anime, we just clicked and felt comfortable towards each other.
ImAPrincess-BOWDOWN: I will never forget you, you crazy lady! Hahaha
I will never forget you too.
After that, I just tried to sleep.
I slept for about 2 hours and saw that my mom actually messaged me and told me to go downstairs 40 minutes ago.I did what I was told and went dowstairs, I saw my mom eating some macaroni salad, beside her was a dress, polkadots...Uh oh..
"HEY JEAN!! glad to see you're awake now! Come! Sit sit! I bought a dress for you!" My mom exclaimed while pushing me towards the couch, NOOO.
"Here, I bought this for you, It is said that polkadots are lucky whenever it's new year" my mom explained, well, she didn't need to, Filipinos knows that already.
I wore the dress and waited for the clock to strike 12:00 AM.
But when the clock was about to strike, I got a message from Rob, perfect!.
Rob: Hey Jean, I have to tell you something, I love you and I will never forget you, never forget me and let me live through your heart forever, we will fight through this, I have-
At this point, I stopped processing what is happening, when I read that line, I just collapsed.
My world stopped...I didn't know what to do.. And then I heard the fireworks go off.
12:00 AM
