Chapter 2

If that's the only thing that will happen to me, I won't do what Savannah commands any longer. What I saw had already caused pain to my eyes. These people are really awful and wild. I'm not envious or anything. Simply said, I wasn't prepared to see what was in her room a while ago.

He wasn't awakened by me. I simply assisted him in removing the handcuffs from his hands after he woke up on his own. What they did is already none of my business. However, it was quite embarrassing. Is it possible for this spot I'm sitting in to simply engulf me?

In fact, we're eating right now. They feed each other food, so it's only natural that I'm giving them the disgusted look. Why can't we just dine in peace and without flirting with one another? I'm gradually becoming less hungry.

Frances taunted, "Someone's envious right now," and he grinned mischievously. I did nothing but stare at him and sip water.

"Let him be envious. He was the one who left that person. That's his karma." I spit up the water I drank in response to what Jarvis said. His mouth needs to shut up sometimes.

"No money, no opinion."

"Oh really, what if you run into him? What are you going to do?" I simply shrugged in response to the question. I didn't know what I should answer. Perhaps shock? Or perhaps I'll hide and flee from him? Yes, it is exactly what cowards like me do.

After I left him, he could never have wanted to see me again. I may already be cursed as a result of what I did to him. I simply sighed and stroked my hair.

I scowled, "Stop talking about me." They both giggled.

Wow, today they really made fun of me. They are unaware of how similar we all are in this place. I don't want to be the only fool here; they ought to be included as well.

It would be unfair if I were the only one who experienced this, as they say, "If we go down, then we go down together."

Savannah replied with a grin, "You should stop it, boys. He just lacks affection now, so don't try to test his patience with that." Wow! She is still with us today. I assumed she and her lover already have their own world. I hissed.

I raised myself and took my plate. When they were finally finished, I heard the chair move back, which was when we instantly heard Frances' booming voice.

"Rock-paper-scissors!" I threw a pair of scissors without looking at them. I heard their screams behind me. That means only one thing. It's either I lose or win this childish game.

But before I could turn around, they put plates in the sink one after the other. I heard Jarvis laugh next to me so I didn't hesitate to splash him with water.

So, I lost the game we played. I will wash the dishes. I just took a deep breath. This is what is going to happen if you live on the same roof with them. It's like you took care of kids because of their playful antics.

Savannah is the oldest among us. She is now currently working in a modeling agency. That's why sometimes, she's not here in her condo unit. Most of the time, the three of us are the only people here in her condo. Well, she let us live with her because of our personal reasons.

When she found out that my father and I had a misunderstanding, she didn't hesitate to accept and let me live here. Jarvis, who is my cousin, also had a misunderstanding with Aunt Isabel. But the case is, he doesn't tell us and we don't even ask him about it. Maybe because the topic is very sensitive. Even Frances, he didn't say either. I was surprised that I suddenly received a message from him. He said he was looking for a place to live so I told Savannah about him. Savannah agreed, so here we are now, together under the same roof.

We also took a lot of part-time jobs because we didn't want to be a burden on Savannah. Although, she already said that she's fine with it. She can handle the expenses, our allowances and such things. However, we didn't agree to that. We don't want the allowance for the three of us to come from her. It's better if we work hard for it.

And we also talked about moving out. After all, we have saved a lot. So why not look for our own place, right? We're going to college next year, so we might as well look for a place to stay. Because we won't be in Savannah's condo unit forever. But there's a part of us that doesn't want to leave Savannah even though her boyfriend is there to accompany her.

The issue, though, is how to tell her without making her hysterical and shocked. She might also wonder why we are moving out. She might possibly be mad with us.

I jumped in horror when someone asked next to me, "Are we going to find an apartment for the three of us?" Jarvis was there. He had his arms crossed across his chest and was leaning in the sink.

He always shows up out of nowhere. No one was informed that he was nearby. Not even a touch coming from him. After closing the faucet, I dried my hands with a towel. Before speaking, I sighed.

"Are you talking about it now?" Jarvis nodded. I placed my hand on the sink's edge and gazed out the window.

"What are your plans, Niro? Are we going to search on Monday?"

"Should we tell her?" I screamed in shock when someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned to the devil's son and he was actually grinning. In just a matter of time, I'll hurt a person.

I glared at him. "Sorry!" He apologized.

I just let him by my side and spaced out again. "Don't worry about Savannah. I'll take care of her. I'll tell her too. See? I have something to contribute to this friendship," he proudly assured them. At what he said, we just simply shook our heads in unison.

"You're sure about that, huh? Because if you don't do it properly, I might smack the nursing book on you. If you don't know, it's pretty thick like your face," Jarvis said. Frances grinned widely and extended her right hand as a pledge.

He better not forget it, I hope. He has a tendency to forget things easily. We are now looking for a new home, huh? Maybe, if we don't have any luck living in an apartment, I think it's okay if we live on the road for the meantime.
