Liezel's P.O.V

Yes you read it right. It's my effin Point of View.

I bet you guys don't even know me. My name is Liezel Dyo Ocampo. The Goddess in the house.

I'm here at the mansion waiting for Joshua to come home. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang tagal tagal niyang umuwi kahit kanina pa dapat nakauwi na yun.

Sinubukan kong tawagan at itext pero di siya sumasagot o nag rereply man lang sa tawag at text ko. I'm starting to feel worried.

"Dyo-niichan is there something wrong?" -Karen asked

"J-just don't bother me. Just go to bed. You're already 20 Karen how come you're still like that?" - tinanong ko habang nakataas ang kilay ko

"I don't know either. I love being like this"  - she said

"Just go chit-chat with Ralph and the others." - I said

"Pff... I don't like to get close with Ralph in every single bit because of his attitude. Okay then if that's what you want I'll leave you alone. Just go to bed already Dyo-niisan" - she said

"Don't call me Dyo-niisan you're even older than me. I hate it"

"Okay then"

then she closes the door and the noises are becoming louder because of her voice.

Aish. Seriously?

Nag aalala na talaga asan na kaya yun si Joshua?

Binuksan ko yung GPS ko at hinanap kung asan si Joshua. Buti na lang hindi niya pinapatay yun.

Andun na naman siya Downtown Bar. Susunduin ko na lang siya.

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto ko at kinuha yung coat ko at susi.

"Oh saan ka pupunta Liezel? gabi na ah?" - tanong ni Aaron

"Ah, diyan lang sa tabi hehe"

"Oh sige mag - iingat ka! Hoy! Ralph ang daya mo!! ako dapat mananalo eh!" - sabi ni Aaron

"Eh tatanga tanga ka kasi eh!" - sagot ni Ralph

"Hoy! kayong dalawa wala na ba kayong alam na gawin kundi mag laro ng Wii? Mag linis nga kayo ng kwarto niyo!!" - sigaw ni Karen

"Tama na. Awat na. Mag kakagera na dito eh. Mag linis muna kayo Ralph para mag laro na kayo diyan mag damag. Asan na ba si April? nagugutom na ko" - sabi ni Roni

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. Anong klaseng grupo to? Ang sakit sa ulo. Lumabas na lang ako at hinanap si Joshua sa Downtown Bar.

Nang makarating ako sa Downtown Bar, akala ko nasa loob siya pero sabi sa phone ko sa likod ng Bar. Nang pumunta ako sa likod nakita ko si Joshua purp pasa, galos at sugat. Putok ang mga labi.

"Joshua! What the Hell happened to you?!" - I shrieked

"O-oh Ocampo, What brings you here?"

Again, calling me at my surname. Is it hard to call me by my name?

"Joshua! let's just go home."

Binuhat ko siya. Nilagay ko yung kamay niya sa balikat ko at pinatayo. Nag lakad na kami papunta sa sasakyan ko.

Lagi namang ganito ang routine eh. Kung hindi sa Downtown Bar andun siya sa Highschool na pinapasukan namin dati or sa Amusement park , where his mom died.

I don't effin know how or what. But in that day, in that day I saw Joshua's other side. Pleading for love and care for what he have lost. I even saw him crying in a week straight.
