Messed Up With The Montefalcos

Chapter 44: Acting Cold

"That's when our grandparents manipulated Xian's birth certificate and made him look like he's my cousin." Sky finally told everything to me.

"I know this isn't something you'll hear in any conversation but it is what it is Zoe our family is kind of messed up from the start." he added.

"Kaya sana mapatawad mo na si Xian kung hindi man niya sinabi sayo ang lahat. Alam kong mabigat iproseso ang lahat ng ito ngayong kasasabi ko lang lahat sayo. He isn't acting towards like you like that because he's playing with you Zoe, mahal ka talaga ng pinsan ko." Skyler said.

"I guess everyone has a story tell huh?" I asked.

"Hmm?" Sky hummed asking me.

"Akala ko ako lang ang may pinagdadaanan sa buhay, the time I lost my father I trieed to pull myself to the very limit dahil takot akong maging mag-isa." Wika ko.

"I finally realized how selfish I am, not knowing that the people around me are hurting too..." I uttered.

"I understand Zoe that you can't forgive us right away but please can you somehow open your heart for us again?" Sky asked. "Just a friend asking to get back with his best friend again?" He added.

Napangiti nalang ako matapos suyuin ni Skyler.

Ngayong sinabi na sa akin ni Sky ang sikreto ng pamilya nila ay hindi parin ako makapaniwala dahil parang sa tv ko lang naririnig at napapanood ang ganitong mga bagay.

Pero kahit papaano ay nasisimulan ko ng maintindihan si Xian. The fact that he didn't want Sky to tellme who he really is because he's scared I might avoid him for life says a lot.

"Ayos ka lang Zoe?" Sky asked, waking me up after talking to myself for a minute.

"Ah... Oo, nawala lang ako saglit sa sarili." Wika ko at nginitian si Skyler.

"Zoe!" a familiar girly voice shouted for my name.

The moment I heard that voice I already knew that it was non other than Lizzy. Lumingon ako sa likuran ko at nakita si Lizzy na natakbo papalapit sa kinauupuan naming dalawa ni Sky.

"What are you doing here?" Lizzy asked. 

After pausing for a minute she stared at Sky that's seating right next to me and glared at him so suddenly. Lizzy then grabbed my hands and protected me like I was about to be abducted by Sky. "Sinabi ko na sayo kanina Sky diba layuan mo muna si Zoe?!" nagagalit na sikmat ni Lizzy.

Binitawan niya ang kamay ko at pinaalis ako. "Bilis tumakbo kana Zoe bago ka mahuli ng kumag na ito come on!" Nagmamadaling iwinika ni Lizzy sa akin.

"Come one why aren't you running?" She asked.

"You should be running by now if you wouldn't want him to get you alive Zoe!" She continued pushing me away from Sky.

"Actually..." natigilan si Sky sa kaniyang sasabihin nang tignan siya ng masama ni Lizzy.

"Try talking or else I'll cut your tongue." pagbabanta ni Lizzy kay Sky.

I grabbed Lizzy's hand when I was about to explain everything to her that Sky and I already talked about everything and that there is nothing to worry.

Kaso pagka-hawak na pagka-hawak ko palang kay Lizzy ay tinulak nanaman niya ako papaalis.

"Biisan mo na Zoe!" wika ni Lizzy.

"Actually Sky and I already talked things out..." I said.

Lizzy suddenly stopped like she was processing what I said to her that Skyler and I already talked about everything I should know.
