He Who Changed Me

Chapter 1

8 years ago

When I was a child I used to have a happy family. I have a loving parents. I really valued them. I always idolized my mom because she was a good wife to my dad. I also want a man who would love me the way my dad loves my mom.

"Mommy where's Dad?" I asked. I just got home from school. I was 10 years old and in 5th grade.

"He'll be home in a while honey. And chocolates again? Buti walang flowers?" said my mom. Even though I was born in states I know how to speak tagalog. My mom taught me how. Minsan ayoko kasi ang panget pakinggan ng tagalog ko.

"Mom It's so tiring to carry them to the car. Besides I gave them to some of my girl classmates. I'll just changed my clothes. Oh! Here's the chocolates. You can have them. I'll get fat if I eat them all." Nakakasawa na araw araw nalang. Ang bata bata pa namin ang hilig na nilang lumandi. For Pete's sake! Were just 10 years old. Even though I'm just 10 years old I'm more mature than girls of my age. I'm taller than them.I look like a 7th grade already because of my height that's why some High school guys wanted to be my boyfriend.

Actually dating Model si Dad. Past time niya lang pala yun para inisin si Lolo. Ayaw kasi ni Dad na imanage yung company ni Lolo. Nasa Brazil kasi yung main company and Dad was a Brazilian. Not until he fell inlove to my Mom. He became more responsible. He accepted the responsibility of managing the company. That's why I really love my Dad.

I climbed up to my fluffybed as soon as I get to my bedroom.

Oh. That's Snowbelle. It was a Persian cat that have white fluffy fur. Naaalala ko pa nung napanood ko yung Stuart Little may nakita akong pusa doon. Pangalan Snowbelle. Lagi ko yung pinapanood kasi nanggigigil ako sa kanya. Lagi ko nun kinukulit si Daddy kaso ayaw niya kasi daw allergic si Mommy. Magmula noon di ko na siya pinilit. Tapos nabigla na lang ako nung 6 years old ako pagpasok ko sa room ko may white na pusang nakahiga sa kama ko. Agad agad ako nun nagtatakbo papunta kay daddy. Pinagkikiss ko yung buong mukha niya. Kaya niya lang pala ako pinayagan kasi para daw di na ako malungkot pag wala sila sa bahay. Para may kasama na ako. Basta daw wag ko daw ilalapit kay mommy yung pusa.

I am just spacing out when I heard my phone ringing I just stare at it until it finally went off. Then it rang again for many times. It was always like this anyways.

Kinuha ko yung phone ko na nasa side table. 12 miscalls 5 texts. From different guys. I don't even have an idea who. Ilang beses na akong nagpapalit ng number. I don't even bother to read the text. Tinatamad ako. Di nga ako laging nagtetext parati call. Why bother texting? Pwede namang call nalang.

My phone started ringing again. I looked at the Id caller. I smirked. I didn't answer it though. Then another beep sound na alam ko naman na siya yun. binuksan ko yung text nya.

Ej: Where are you? Damn it. I told you to wait for me after I'm done breaking up with Cassie so that I can get you home.

Ohhhh. So he really do break up with her?

Me: How was it?

Ej: She slapped me.

Biglang kumulo ang dugo ko. No one is allowed to lay their filthy hand on my Ej.

Me: Come here.

After 15 minutes I heard my door opening. I don't need to turn because I know that would be Ej. Sanay naman akong laging basta basta nalang pumapasok yan sa kwarto ko. Bestfriend siya ni Dash kaya pati sa akin dumidikit dikit yan. I've known him since forever. Hindi ko na nga maalala kung kailan ko ba yan nakilala. Sila lang dalawa ni Dash ang lagi kong kasama at kalaro but sometimes hindi ako makasakay sa mga trip nila kasi parehas silang lalaki. Dash is my cousin.
