Behind Closed Doors (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 16

Surreal

It was midnight when I suddenly woke up because of the loud noise. I immediately when downstairs to see the commotion.

I saw Kelani shouting at her brother. Syntax was sitting in the sofa while looking at her coldly. I stopped and sat in the stairs trying to hide them.

I never seen Kelani in her furious state. She looks so mad while looking at her brother. His brother was cooly sitting in the sofa.

"Kuya, ibalik natin siya pinanggalingan niya. Hindi na ito tama!" she shouted.

They are talking to me. I felt sad and dissapointed. I never wished here to stay for long but Syntax never let me go. I don't know why.

"May nalaman ako sa pamilyang Streep hindi sila bastang ordinaryong tao! Two months ago I've done research Space's surname. We need to gave her!" she walked near her brother and grabbed his collar but his brother looked at her camly.

I gasped, she did what? I can't believe her. Why they still keep me here. I don't understand. Why she didn't tell me, why I felt so betrayed especially Syntax.

"Don't tell me Kuya gusto mo si Space." Kelani's face turned into frowned. Syntax is still silent and unbothered.

"I get it. Ayoko na!" she surrendered and walked out to the living room.

What's she talking about? Suddenly Syntax looked at my direction and uttered some words that I don't understand and he found me hiding here. The beat of my heart suddenly went crazy, I was shaking. I don't know.

"Nooo!" I shouted. I suddenly woke up and adjusted my eyes in the dark. It was a bad dream, a nightmare. I calmed myself and opened my lampshade. I thought it was real and I shaked my head slowly while closing my eyes.

I feel my heartbeat acting so strange, that feeling again. I never felt this feeling before.

Why I have this feeling?

I looked at the window, the wind blows the white curtains and the autumn leaves came in like they are welcome to my room.

I laid back to my bed and tried to erased the nightmares I had. I breathed calmly and slowly closed my eyes, I hope I'll have a good dream this time.
