Switch Series 1: Constantly Yours,

CHAPTER 64

A Secret (5)

🌻🌻🌻

"You're not leaving me, are you?"

Chris found herself sitting in a bench alone, while drinking a ramune pineapple juice. The sun is radiant from above, the trees are covering her from it's rays. She feels its warmth from her skin and the stroke of the birds chirping everywhere. The smell of the fresh air passes through her nostrils. She's wearing a simple white shirt, black tight cargo pants and her combat boots.

"I-I'm..."

She's in the Police headquarters and she just finished her report. Everything turns to be okay, their names are already cleared and The Director and Mr. Governor is under the investigation of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group.

It seems so good to everyone, but she feels so empty after what happened the night she tells Bettina the truth.

"B-Bettina..."

It breaks her heart because of the word he said before he left.

"I'm sorry..."

Inubos nya ang laman ng bote at inilapag iyon sa kaniyang tabi. She sigh and rest her arms on the bench and look up. The little sun rays touch her face so she close her eyes.

What is the fucking meaning of that 'I'm sorry'?

Gusto nya itong habulin pero ayaw gumalaw ng kaniyang mga paa. She just watch him, leave her, alone.

Chris wanted to be mad. Did he just give up on her that easily?
She couldn't blame him. It's just that, she has a secret, did she lie? Maybe.

Some secrets are made to protect someone you love. She needs to lie for them to not be involve by her past. But it failed and it really kills her inside.

Nagbuntong hininga si Chris ng makitang palabas ang kanyang tropa ng headquarters at mukhang mga masaya ito. Ewan nya ba, but seeing her friends happy makes her smile too. Sinalubong nya ito.

Nandyan si Rex, Bok, Mario, Vin, Motmot, Mhyles, Dex and Gabby. Sometimes, friends are enough to be called a family. What more she could ask for, right? As long as she have someone to lean on every time she's sad, that's okay to her. For a long time, she only care about herself, she only live for no reason, but then Bettina enter to her life. He makes her so happy, she never felt that happiness before and she never felt this sadness, before.

"Maraming salamat mga bossing." aniya sa mga kaibigan at isa isa itong kinamayan.

She is so blessed to have this awesome butches.

Nagbikit balikat si Dex, "Small thing, bossing." tugon nito at umakbay sa kaniya, "What's your plan now?" tanong pa nito.

Nagkamot sya ng pisngi, "I still don't know..."

Plano. Kung dati ay hindi sya nauubusan ng plano, ngayon ay walang pumapasok sa isip nya. Her minds turns to knots when Number 3 enter the scene.

Napatango si Mario, "Kamusta kayo ni ate Bettina? Nagkausap na kayo?" usisa nito at halatang nag aalala sa kanila ni Bettina.

"Yeah..." she sigh and scrath her cheek, "Sabi nya, I'm sorry raw...N-Nakikipagbreak na ba sya?" nauutal nyang tanong at tumitig sa kaniyang mga kaibigan.

They give her a surprise reaction. Chris is damn worry about it.

"What?" sumingkit ang mata ni Mhyles, "I'm sorry?" pagtatanong nya.

What does that mean?

Nag iwas sya ng tingin, "O-Oo..." sagot nya at kinagat ang labi, "Tas umalis sya."
