It was 2 in the afternoon, Mark woke up late because he didn't really feel that well. When he got up he quickly opened his phone to check if there were notifications (just like any typical millennial).
Mark: Hmmm, no messages.
He checked if his scheduled text to Psalm was sent... and it was sent... but there were no replies.
Mark: Well... this is odd.
He tried to call Psalm but it didn't answer.
Mark: Maybe... she's still asleep? Or busy?
He was a bit worried but just shrugged it off completely because he thought that he's maybe overthinking things. He went outside to drink water and probably some medicine for his really bad headache.
However, when he was about to go out his room... he overheard his brother talking to their mother on the phone.
Gabe: Yeah, Mark's here... I hope you get to see each other later... yeah... see you too... yes, mom... bye... take care...
Mark: So she's coming back?
Gab was surprised to see Mark.
Gab: ...
Mark: When are you going to tell me *paused*...
Gab: You okay?
Mark: *coughs*
Gab: Okay ka lang ba...
Gab was about to assist him... but Mark pushed him.
Mark: Get off me!
Gab: Mark...
Mark: I fucking trusted you!
Gab: Gusto ko lang naman kayo magkausap ni Mommy...
Mark: I thought you understand me! *coughs*
Gab: Naiintindihan kita! Gusto ka namin intindihin lahat...
Mark: No you don't!
Gab: Mark... please give us the chance...
Mark: No wonder why Jacob left...
Gab: Mark...
Mark: I don't want to see any of you again!
Gab: Mark please let me explain!
Mark: I don't want to hear any of your fatuous comments Gabriel...
Mark slammed his door close and packed his things up.
Mark: I'm leaving this hell house.
But his head was aching so much he had to sit on his bed... Gab quickly opened his door.
Gab: Mark... are you okay...?
Mark was breathing heavily... and tears started to come out from his eyes... he's in so much pain.
Mark: Go away!
Gab: Calm down okay...
Gab was rubbing his back trying to calm him down...
Gab: Ang init mo...
Mark: ...
Gab: YAYA!!!
Mark blacked out.
