Mean to Be (Mean #2)

Chapter Seven

 

Chapter Seven
Still Mean

 

My hands are buried in my head as I waited for my coffee to be made. My head's currently in magnitude of 5 earthquake and I absolutely feel terrible. Even the moment I woke up was terrible. I can't remember how I got home. Or what happened when I got home. Or how I managed to find myself in bed. I was still wearing the same clothes that I was in last night. 

I wanted to call or send Kade a message but I also wanted to drink something to get rid of my headache kaya iyon ang inuna ko. I went downstairs, heading straight to the kitchen and asked for something warm to drink.

"Where are my parents?" I asked the maid, groaning as my head vibrated whenever I talk.

"Maaga po sila parehong umalis. Inakyat ka po ni Ma'am sa kwarto niyo kaso po natutulog pa po kayo. Gusto niyo po bang ihanda ko ang breakfast niyo?" I almost puked when she mentioned food. I don't think I can eat something without throwing it up.

Inilagay niya ang baso sa harapan ko matapos isalin ang brewed coffee. I sighed at the smell but my head's still aching like hell. "Can you get my phone upstairs? And get me some advil too."

"Sige po, Miss Maxie." She left as soon as I told her to.

I am one hundred percent sure that it was Kade who brought me home. What I wanted to know is if he's the one who brought me up in my room and if my parents know that I lied to them and that I went out last night.

Pinanuod ko ang pag-alis ni Rush kasama ang babae niya kagabi. It was like watching my heart break over and over again. Seeing him another girl is like feeling every pain unimaginable. I never thought he could destroy me just by simply being with someone else. After wiping my tears, I went inside and decided that it was time to drink all the pain away.

The maid arrived with my phone and medicine in hand. She placed it in front of me and I dismissed her. I swallowed the advil, finishing the rest of my warm coffee. I next reached for my phone and started typing Kade's name. I opted for a message since I'm not sure if he's already awake. I didn't want to bother him and I want to stab myself for being considerate. I just thanked him for driving me home last night and that was it. Wala naman na akong sasabihin sa kanya. 

My phone rang in my hand. I was half expecting it was Kade who's calling me but turns out it was Grant. I accepted the call before placing the phone beside my ear.

"Hey," I greeted.

"Are you feeling better, love?" Napangiti ako sa concern ni Grant. Kahit na hindi na katulad ng dati ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya, natutuwa pa rin ako na nag-aalala siya sa akin. 

"I'm good. Are you in the office?" My eyes searched for the wall clock and found out that it was almost nine. 

"No. I'm driving. Papunta ako sa inyo." I frowned.

"You're driving and you're on the phone, Grant." 

Ayaw na ayaw ko talaga kapag kinakausap niya ako habang nagda-drive siya. It always frustrate me when he's being careless. Pinagsasabihan ko siya ng minsan tungkol doon pero tinatawanan niya lang ako lagi. It's not my fault that I've seen too many horrifying incidents involving cars, alcohol, and being sidetracked.
