Since that letter was delivered to me, I never heard the end of it from Asher,

Cath asan ka?

Cath dito ka lang.

Cath wag kang lalabas.

Cath sama ka lang sakin.

I feel like a prisoner chained to my brother wherever he goes. Kulang nalang pati sa CR isama niya ako eh. So andito ako ngayon sa cafeteria, I was playing with the food on my plate sa kawalan ko nang gana kumain.

"Hey, the food isn't gonna fly to your mouth on it's own." sabi ni Asher.

"So you're gonna control what I'm eating now?" I said na naka taas ang kilay. I'm so pissed of him bossing me around. The plan is he's just gonna guard me, not make me his puppy on a leash.

"Hey you know I'm just looking out for you"

"Yeah! The plan is for you to watch over me, not to boss me around!" tumayo ako sa kinauupuan ko at aalis sana when he held my wrist.

"San ka?" he asked. Anywhere if it means wala ka don!

"Ano? sasama ka din sa restroom?" I just rolled my eyes at binawi ko ang kamay ko. Nag madali ako maglakad palabas ng Cafeteria, finally some time alone! Well, for just 25 seconds.

"Cath! Hold up!" lumingon ako sa likod at nakita ko si Cayden at Zane running after me. Kaylan pa ba sila naging body guards? I sighed in frustration. Gentlemen please! A little privacy here.

"Whaaat!?" I asked gritting my teeth.

"Sorry just following the leaders orders" Zane said. Maniwala!

"Psh! Since when did Asher became your leader." I exclaimed habang nag dadabog papunta sa dereksyon ng restroom.

"Well it wasn't him, it was Axvxjsnsoamdksksk" hindi ko na intindihan ang sasabihin sana ni Zane kasi tinakpan ni Cayden ang bunganga niya.

"AAHH! UHMM-- OH! ZANE LOOK MAY CHIX!" biglang sapaw ni Cayden habang tanatakpan pa din ang bibig ni Zane. Lumingon naman agad si Zane sa tinuro ni Cayden.

"Where?! Where?!" Zane exclaimed in excitement at tumitingin kung saan.

What weirdos.

Maka pasok na nga lang sa restroom. At least I'll have some time alone for even just a few minutes kasi pag nag tagal ako dito I'm sure those two outside won't have second thoughts on breaking down the restroom door.

I made my business and headed out, naka sandal lang silang dalawa sa pader smoking malapit sa pinto ng restroom. Tinapon naman nila agad ang cigar nila when they saw me approaching. Good, because I don't wanna die from second-hand-smoke. We were just walking when my phone rang.

It's from Marcia.

"hello?"

["he-- hello? Cath? *sob* *sob*"]

"Why the hell are you crying?"

["I'm so sorry to disturb you on whatever you're doing right now but I don't know who else to call"]

"Why? What's going on?" kinabahan ako bigla. She NEVER calls me, this must be serious.

["It's Quin"] my stomach dropped when she said this. Negative thoughts immediately rushed into my mind, what happened?! Did something bad happen to him?!

"What about him?" I still managed to keep calm. I looked at Zane and Cayden, these idots are eavesdropping on us.

["We went to the doctor earlier this day for his mom's weekly appointment, then the doctor revealed something to him that made him go nuts. He didn't tell me what it was, he just drove off to who knows where. I didn't know anyone else who knows him well enough than you Cath, I'm so worried that he might hurt himself again."]
