The Project Perfect

31: The missing link

Allison

"You are that guy, right Blaze?" I emotionlessly asked him. He stood there caught off guard. I scoffed.

"Oh? Why can't you speak? Aren't you supposed to deny it? Oh baka alam mo kung ano ang tinutukoy? Spill it Blaze." pang-hahamon ko sa kanya.

"Okay? What are you two talking about?" curiosity was painted on Ate Blaire's face.

"Nothing important. You can go back inside. Blake, may pag-uusapan lang kami." he immediately understood what I meant. Hinila na niya papasok sa bahay si Ate Blaire na naguguluhan pa rin. Nang masiguradong nakapasok na sila sa loob at hindi na nila kami maririnig ay muli kong tiningnan si Blaze.

"I'm not going to say anything, Allison." I smirked because of what he said. Of course, sino nga namang kriminal ang aamin sa kasalanang ginawa nila.

"And that text Desiree sent to you. Is that even true or you just made up everything. Sabihin mo na para isang sakitan lang tayo." how idiot of me to trust this jerk when my body was giving me signs. Yung pagka ayaw ko sa presence niya. Yung hundi maipaliwanag na hatred ko sa kaniya. Nung una inakala kong masyado lang akong paranoid pero hindi ngayon ko napatunayan na tama pala ang instincts ko. Blake will be really disappointed to him if he knew. And that will break his heart and I don't want that.

"Yeah. Keeping silent. That's what cowards like you are good at. Playing dumb. Wait, don't tell me your the who pushed Desiree?" I asked with mockery in my voice. His jaw tightened but I did not back down.

"I'm not the one you're looking for Allison." giit niya.

"Pero kasabwat ka." I retorted back.

"I just did what I have to. You may not understand it now but you will later on. You have bigger problems coming, Allison." he sounds calm but he's actually giving me heads up or more like a warning. I tsked.

"Is this the part where I'm supposed to run because of fear? No dear, a Montreux has no fear." matigas kong saad. I'm not going to lose this battle.

"You should be careful. Hindi madali ang haharapin mo. They're getting impatient, Allison. One of this days, kukunin ka na nila para gawin ang huling hakbang." I frowned. What is he talking about? Last step? What the hell is that?

"Care to elaborate so I can be a little prepared?"

"They are some sick bastards who are interested in you. Sila rin ang may kasalanan sa pagkamatay ni Desiree." paliwanag nito. So may connection nga sa pagkamatay nito ang lahat ng kaletsehang nangyayari sa akin.

"Who are they?" tanong ko rito ngunit umiling lang ito na mukha hindi rin alam ang sagot sa aking tanong. So it really seems like I'm fighting someone blindfolded. Ang daya, sila kilala nila ko habang ako ay wala man lang kaalam alam sa kanila.

"That's what I'm trying to find out. Inaalam ko pa kung anong nalaman ni Desiree na hindi niya dapat malaman. And if that's enough for her to get killed." he is serious. Teka ano nga ba niya si Desiree? Are they even close?

"Anong relasyon mo sa bruhang yon? Don't tell me jowa ka niya because that will be a little sad." I said that gained a low chuckle from him.

"Hindi. We're childhood friends. I've known her since eleven." paliwanag nito. Honestly, I don't really care on what is the reason why she died because it's really none of my business but then things started to happen around me and it is connected to her unexplained death so it already became my business.

"Ahh, so why the flushed cheeks? Are you drunk?" pansin ko kasi ang pamumula ng pisngi niya.

"Seriously, Allison?" then he gape at me. Inirapan ko lang siya.
