Odd Deceits ( Ongoing Story )

chapter 29

A glitch. What glitch is he talking about shouldn't he explained further more to reduce the curiosity he just feed of? Ah this guy.

" what are you talking about?  "

I repeated. Asking the question that is all over my mind making me entice to the answer I know I deserved. 

" Achilles! " i shouted so loud it makes him look at me. Fury ruled my body, i don't understand a thing so why won't he just spill it?

" calm down eli. " fucking what?  I am hyperventilating right now my breathing is too much it was uncertain if my heart will explode in a second.  And he have the audacity to ask me to calm down?

" its just a metaphor alright.  I foresee it in my dream. "

It was never enough for me so I demanded more explanations.  He told me I get a surgery the last day and it makes me forgot things, almost delirious.

Atleast I didn't think he's Edward Cullen or just one of their clan. The white loose shirt covered his built I don't know if he worked hard or its just there naturally.  His khaki shorts are here again with his expensive shoes.

I tried to focus on the sorrounding after I notice he see me observing him intently making me wish to get shrink and slap into the hard ground. 

The last time I remember I'm listening to 'sophia having my time alone. And after that it just turns out I have a head disease or something and I tend to forgot things not sleep like what happen the last time?

That was worst than sleeping for weeks. I don't know what to think of right now.

What if someday all of the memories I treasure all along will cease to exist that instant soon. That I can't remember a thing and I will wish to sleep and never able to wake up?

I don't want to question a thing but why am I like this. What the hell just happen to me.

" am I dying? " i ask the question, not having the guts to look at those blue eyes. It will terrified me.  It will do Ofcourse. Its like a forbidden taboo no one should dare ask. 

" you're totally fine eli. Told you your surgery is perfectly done.  "

He assure me with those gleaming smirk but I'm too skeptic for today.  I neither want to believe nor let it go. 

I let out a sigh I almost sounded like a sheep.  I nod at him as my 'see you later and head out of my room.  Leaving him there alone. 

I never expected him to follow me but he do. Crossing my arms to my chest to sign him I need time alone. His footsteps occuring and I was mad.  I wanted some time alone can he just..

Oh.

As I turn around already to scold him and give me some favor for myself to think through, he's not here.  I saw a shadow intersecting the path towards the stairs.  I follow it.

It is him going nowhere in our gentle abode. I hide myself when I saw another person approach.

" really you're that selfish huh? " that voice sounds too familiar for a female.  Nostagic it is him and zein talking, alone.

" you know thats the best thing to do.  "

" best thing hmm. can you hear yourself ?  " zein fight back.

" just leave her alone and thats the best thing for her.  "

Who are they talking about?  Preferably its not me.  Its not me who needs someone to back off.  Its not me who zein have some intention 'talking to right now.  We're not cool. Or are we?

I don't remember what happen the last days. Or if Im cool with her and if we are, then that's so stupid of me. 

I leave them there and focus on my own business. I know my birthday is almost here. Its not like I care or something its just that I saw many people today being busy and all. Some party organizer even greet me when I reach downstairs.

" Mom? " i saw her sitting in the coach being so glamorous and modest. She's talking to some people.  I needed to greet them so fast or else my mom will scold me again. 

I don't want to disappoint her more except the wedding who shouldn't be consider at 'all because duh.  I make a deal so that it'll be over.

I scooted next to her like how she did it.  Sit down nicely. Hands on your lap no crouching and at last fake your smile. 

" here's the birthday girl " luke with her sister comes. Really, how many people are coming today? its like a few days till my birthday!

He lean closer to me and kissed my cheeks. I saw zein and achilles coming downstairs so I slowly push him away. 

His sister Amara roll her eyes and hug me. You Don't need to like me Amara thats what i wanted to tell her for a long time.

All of them including zein with achilles prepare theirselves in the other couch closer to us.  The awkwardness I felt was away from me when the organizers starts to ask me question about the party.

I tell them so honestly to avoid some pink or if possible make most of them yellow.  I wanted to remind myself of the view I first saw achilles.  The epitome of my happiness.

The yellow field of the sunflowers. 

" smile eliana,  the reporters are here.  " she glance to the front door and there goes the people who I'm not familiar with.

" the princess of the NYC! " jean, the closest journalist I converse with a long time ago is here to record the whole event going on.  I wanted to please her to go since its really exhausting for me today as her birthday gift. 

She shaked my hand and I offer her to sit for a while. My mother communicated with her and I make that as my escape for drinking water.

" are we really escaping now? "
luke follows me but I just laugh. Thats too insane I don't have any plans too but I'll take that as a double meaning since he's also the one who finds me when I run away not so little long ago.

" why do you even follow me? "

He scoffed and look down. I get a glass of water and invite him to the garden.

" you should be there since you always wanted the spotlight right? "

I was kidding and I'm glad he take that as what i intend it to be. 

" hmm not really maybe a little? " i smile and nod my head.  Trying to focus and divert my eyes on the flying birds away. 

" so you don't want to go out with me this days huh?  " it was getting serious again and the group of jean is here now.  Capturing both of us. 

I was like a criminal who's caught by the police.  I don't want another issue to the news. 

" I'll talk to you later.. " i bid my goodbye to him and he was so dissapointed I'm yet guilty again.  Its not like I don't really wanted to spend my time with him as friends.  My sched was tight the day he ask me and its quite special so I don't have any options at all.

I gesture the photographers and the interviewers to go inside. I let them explore the whole mansion when I saw Amara on the balcony on the second floor.  She was looking so weird and sad. 

Atleast I wanted to comfort her. 

She was my friend before when me and luke are together. In the sixth grade or something because we aged the same.  She and luke is one year apart in age.

" hey "
I called her loud enough for her to look back.

" this idea is really bad. " she said. Her forehead crease in dissaproval and agony.  She walked pass me and go away.
