Neglected Hearts

Chapter Nine

Angelica's P.O.V.

Why didn't you tell us?" Kim said to me, I just smiled to her a bit.

"I don't want you guys to think about me more, dagdag problema lang ako sainyo, besides I don't want to talk about it more, they already planned it anyway"

"How long?"Shaina asked me.

"I don't know" I said sadly.

"You'll just leave him like that?" Sheila said.

"I had no choice"

"You'll not talk to him? Not even a goodbye?"

"This is much better, the more I hurt him the faster he can choose to get me out of his life, we are still young, we're prone in those 'mahal ko kasi' so this is also a great help for the two of us" I said and check my luggages.

This is my last day here in Philippines. Tomorrow, America will be my new home. Though it's not really what I want I know that I need it, it's better for me.

"But why Angelica?"

"I don't want to tell anyone. It hurts me even more" I said dismissing it.

"Jane, we're now ready to leave. Please go down fast" I just nodded with what my father said to me.

"Angelica" Shaina called me out on me with her concerned voice.

"It's Jane, Shaina. From now on it's Jane, because that's how they see me, their daughter that's need to be really great. They can't see Angelica who just wants to be happy" I said and smiled a bit.

"You're gonna forget us too?"

"Of course not! Whether I am Angelica or Jane you guys are still my best friends" I said and smiled at them.

The three of them jumped on me, making me hug them all.

"We'll miss you"

"So am I, I need to go. Let's go"

"What took you so long Jane?" my mother asked me but I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Angelica" Oh shit!

"Hugo" I barely said his name, how come he's here? How? He shouldn't be here, my father will be really mad at him, his scholarship is at risk if he will just force to stay.

"What are you doing here kid? Can you just go home?"

"Shaina, Sheila, Kim get him away from here please" I said to them, they just nodded at me and go near him. But Hugo's really not cooperating.

Hugo, please. Don't make this hard for the two of us.

"Let me go Shaina! I won't go home until Angelica will talk to me!'' No Hugo, you should just go. Leave me, and just go on with your life without me.

"Shut it Hugo! Let her go!" Sheila mouthed at him.

"I won't go! Angelica let's talk properly please!"

"Leave or you'll never have the chance to step on my school again!" my father said warning him that made my eyes big. Sh*t this is what I am talking about, he'll just put his scholarship at risk!

"No, Dad please, just spare him! I will now go to America right? What is still your problem?" I said trying not to raise my voice but I guess I failed to do so.
