Can't Get Out

Chapter 15

Kuya Jem's POV

Hindi ko na alam anong gagawin ko kay Tan, after Ashley left he's now miserable and almost insane! everyday drinking alcoholic drink and always drunk! paminsan nalang pumapasok sa school at nakikipag-away pa. Si tita and tito di na rim alam ang gagawin sa kanya...

"Tan get up! Your fucking drunk again!"sigaw ko ewan ko ba!

"Get up man, we have to practice..."sabi ni Emjay at itatayo sana si Tan pero tinulak siya

"Leave me the fck alone!"sigaw niya at uminom na naman, kinuha ko yun sa kanya at tinapon sa basurahan.

"Ano ba!!"sigaw niya at tumayo pero natumba siya dahil sa kalasingam kaya kaagad namin siya itinayo at ihiniga sa kama niya ang baho baho niya!

"Linisin nalang natin mga kalat niya..."sabi ni Kuya Al at sinimulan na ang pagpulot ng bote ng alak kami naman nilinis yung ibang basag na bote.

he's really broken when Ashley left without saying goodbye, and I will admit that I'm a little bit mad to Ash kasi umalis nalang siya ng wala man kang paalam o kahit ano...

But yesterday I found out when I opened Kyzha's bag Ashley has a good bye letter but only for Kyzha she's saying sorry and hoping to understand her situation..

Dear Ate Ky,

I'm sorry if umalis nalang ako ng walang paalam I know you're really really mad at me right now, but I'm hoping you will forgive me and understand me I just need to do this for your happiness guys, sorry if I didn't say goodbye. Ayaw ko lang na malaman niyo na ooperahan na ako and I don't want you to hope that after my operation I am still alive. I know na mali ang pagdesisyon ko ng ganito and I know iniisip niyo na how selfish I am... Once again I'm sorry for leaving you without saying goodbye. Hope Tan will forgive me when we see each other again, Ate I know I have a thick face to request this but I hope you always give me an update kahit na sina Iris at Ivy ang babasa noon para sa akin. I love you all guys, I won't forget you specially my heart won't forget you love you always.

And then after I found that out, she tell me everything about Ashley, and She was in her fifty fifty condition last last month and now her operation is done but she was in her coma state... But sometimes daw nagkakaroon ng problem sa heart niya kaya di siya maiwan iwan mag-isa sa hospital.

"Fuck her for hurting me like this, for leaving me like a shit! I swear I will get my revenge and I will leave her like a trash..."sabi niya at tumawa pa, lasing na talaga siya... Tan if you only know...

I hope hindi sila magkasakitan kapag nagkita sila sa tamang panahon, I love them both and I don't want that to happen...

five years later....

Ash POV

Five years past... kamusta na kaya sila? Are they mad at me? They will still accept me even I left them without saying goodbye? How is he? I heard that he's happy now... maybe he move on already, I heard that when I left him he become miserable... he always got drunk...

I think I had no right to comeback and face them all specially him, yeah I'm scared to face them all, baka they will stay away from me because of what Ive done but if that will happen I still accept that because it's still my fault naman...

I saw him on the news he's a famous business man and traveler now, and I'm happy kasi naging succesful siya. I'm sure kinamumuhian niya na akong ngayon...

"Cous let's go? Manong is already waiting for us..."sabi ni Iris tumango naman ako, After five years staying in States ngayon lang kami uuwi... Wala naman talaga akong balak na bumalik pa kasi alam kung wala na akong babalikan, but I have no choice I need to see my Great grandma... Maybe I will stay here for a month? a week? I don't know as long as my great grandma is okay I need back to States nagleave lang ako sa trabaho ko because of my grandma and nothing else...

"Ashy tulala ka na naman..."sabi ni Iris ngumiti lang ako

"Ahm... I'm just nervous..."sabi ko at sumdal sa upuan at inadjust yun

"Babe... you don't need to be nervous, Kuya Jem, Emjay, Al, and sina Ate Ky, Yen, Sheena... basta all of them understand your situation siguro yung ibang di lang natin sila mapigilan na magalit or magtampo sayo. Just trust me okay?"sabi ni Iris tumango ko nalang ako at sumandal ulit tsaka napabuntong hininga

"How about him? I hope he don't mad at me..."

bulong ko at napapikit nalang...

"Twin what are you thinking?"napalingon naman ako sa tabi ko it's Asheley, she's my twin sister she stay in States with my grandparents...

"Nothing twin, it's just my heart..."sabi ko kaya napasigaw naman ako ng biglang magpreno si Manong

"Masakit na naman ba puso mo Ashley?!"tanong ni Manong

"Twin tell us!"my twin sister

"Bumalik na naman ba?"Iris

"Should I call Mommy?!"Ivy

"Please don't overreact! I'm just joking why you always take it serious? God!"sigaw ko sa inis muntik ng matama mukha ko sa likod ng upuan eh...

"Oh... sorry"sabi nila at nagdrive na ulit si manong

"H'wag ka kasing magbiro kapag puso mo na ang pinag-uusapan, nagpanick tulog kami..."sabi ni Ivy, I just roll my eyes at sumandal nalang

"Daan tayo sa mall? I want to buy something..."sabi ko, tumango naman sila at nag-agree tsaka tamang tama kaharap namin ang isang mall kaya nag U-turn si manong

"Ano na naman ba bibilhin mo Lallaina?"tanong ni Iris

"I just want to buy high waist jeans di kasi kasya sa akin yung mga jeans ko ang payat payat ko na..."sabi ko tumango naman sila at nagpaalam na bibili lang daw muna sila ng coffee kaya kami ni Ashey pumunta kami sa department store

"Twin what should I buy? this one or this one?"tanong niya, diba? ang dali dali niyang makapili?

"Drop waist is better than tunic, so I choose drop waist"sabi ko at namili na ng mga jeans, ang gaganda ng style ng jeans nila nagyon ah...

"Twin--Ashey? Ashey? where are you?"hanap ko sa kanya, where did she go? baka mawala pa yun di pa naman niya kabisado ang mall

"Ashey..."tawag ko, Oh God twin...

"Ahm? Do I know you?"napalingon naman kaagad ako it's her... pinuntahan ko naman kaagad siya

"I thought I lost you... Gosh you make me worried Ashey next time tell me where you want to go..."sabi ko

"I'm fine twin I'm just picking another dresses and then I saw them..."sabi niya kaya napalingon naman ako, it's Ate Ky with Mich...

"Ate Ky..."tawag ko habang kinakabahan, I'm scared baka they are mad...

"Ashley... Oh God! I miss you!"sabi niya at yinakap ako

"I-I miss you too Ate Ky..."natatakot na sagot ko, I'm scared to hug her back...

"I thought she is you..."sabi niya at kumalas sa yakap

"Ahm... she's my twin sister Asheley, Twin this is Ate Ky my classmate before and my bestfriend.."sabi ko, nagkamayan naman silang dalawa

"Asan na ba sina Ate Kyzha?"it's Ate Yen's voice...

"Go now Ash, before he sees you"sabi ni Ate Ky tumango naman ako at hinila na paalis si Ashey doon at lumayo na kami

"Stay by my side twin please?sabi ko tumango naman siya

"Okay twin..."sabi niya at namili na din ng dresses niya
