A/N: Another one before the week. I'd probably be occupied during the whole week sooo... here's one (out of five) to compensate.
--
True to my words, I didn't really know what to do. I'm afraid that if I face Caden again, it might might be bad not just for him, but also for me. I know I seem so selfish but unbelievably as it might be, this is my first time to choose myself. Maybe now, it's just fair that I choose me.
"Krystal, are you sure you want to go home? We can spend the last few days here." Mom asked.
"Yes. I'm sure." I said, without any doubt.
Dad looked sad. I shut my eyes tight. I can't let them do this. I have to think about myself too. Staying here wasn't a good idea, anyway.
Kio suddenly stood up. "You're not running away again, Krystal. I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU!" He raised his voice.
"Kio. Calm down." I hushed him.
"NO! I WON'T. Wasn't it enough that Caden went through that shit before?! Can't you be a little considerate?"
"Kio, watch your language." I warned.
Dad looked confused and Mom was definitely clueless. "Krystal, what is your brother saying?" Dad asked in a very serious matter.
"Nothing! This is just one of his episodes!" I answered aggressively.
"That's it. We're not leaving, Krystal Siena. Talk." Mom grimly demanded.
I glared at Kio. He looked mad but so am I! How could he? I TRUSTED HIM, FOR PETE'S SAKE! THIS IS JUST NOT FAIR!
"No..." I replied in a hushed voice as I lost my balance. My chest started ro feel like it's twitching. My eyes watered.
I can't keep having attacks like this. I might not get through college if I keep losing it.
"Krystal! Are you alright?" Kio asked, concerned, holding my shoulders.
"Let me go!" I tried to stand up and made my way to my room.
"KRYSTAL!" I heard them shout.
I can't let it come back. I don't want to go crazy.
"Krystal, jump!"
"NO, I WON'T JUMP WITHOUT YOU, GIANCARLO."
"F*ck! I can't let you die, Sien. Just trust me. Please." He said as he try to take control.
NO! STOP. STOP YOUR MADNESS, KRYSTAL. GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF. IT HAPPENED LONG TIME AGO. YOU WON'T LET IT HAUNT YOU.
"He's crushed, Sir, but the girl's still breathing." I hear them talk. I can still hear them. I winced in pain but no one noticed.
"Giancarlo..." I muttered with all the strength that's left.
"Get them out of here, it's causing commotion."
Giancarlo, take my pain, I beg you. I don't want to live with it forever. Please.
