It Started When It Ended Chapter XCIV: The Other POV (8)
Chris didn’t answer me. He probably figured out that by now, our memories are finally syncing. I don’t know if that made me stronger or it did bother him because he won’t speak to me. At All. Ha! I don’t worry about the money at all, money isn’t a problem to me. He is. He is my huge problem. Leira is gone. After being mended by the nurses, Chris was met by the other girl who was really named Selene. “Hindi niya sinabi sa akin kung saan siya pupunta, kanina pa siya umalis.” Chris panicked but they were called by the nurses and asked for some information about the other girl. They had a long interview and talked about the other girl’s condition, they were also asked what happened and discussed the hospital policy. Chris and Selene were keenly listening while I cannot stop thinking about Leira. All of us don't know where she went. I have become a soul inside this body, it was less than I expected. I thought the soul wanders around and has an ability to penetrate concrete. I had wa

My strong feelings affect everything that is happening around here. It makes me stronger too. I can overcome Chris and take my body back due to emotions. Now the only problem is, how could I maintain it? Chris knows this. He basically knew this and he knew I would figure out this trick. Maybe I could cage him as well or just imagine him being gone into our lives and he would miraculously be gone. I would never know, until I try. This place – Ariel City – had caused her so much pain. Not just this place but the people who are living here, specifically her family. She blames herself for what happened to her mom, she thinks that she killed her. But that wasn’t the case. That is just what her father told her, he made her believe that it was entirely her fault. And now she doesn’t even trust herself, her decision, and she’s reluctant to everything yet impulsive. My girl. For the meantime that I am still figuring out how to control my emotions, I hope Chris would take care of h

One thing is for sure, Leira’s father knew something about the real identity of Chris. That he isn’t me. Chris and Leira’s father's conversation was just for them. Although Chris’ and my mind is in sync, those only that happened in between is what I could remember. Some were still vague and what Chris is thinking right now, doesn't go directly to what I think too. We still have separate memories. Leira’s father wants something from Chris. His grin never faded, his menacing smile towards Chris when he saw him with Leira was one thing that I could remember. Chris and him made a deal, “it is a deal then, be here by next week. At this exact place, I know you could go here without a hustle so I will be waiting.” Leira’s father said but Chris was eager and instantly asked for an extended date. He was holding Leira’s hand. Until new year’s eve. New year’s eve is just two weeks from now. Does that mean that I would be able to get back my freedom by that time? “Hey dude?! Is tha

I’ve been waiting for Chris to tell Leira everything. I have already thought that he is really something else. Of course I know and I should know how to look at the person. I do businesses, so it matters to assess if the person that I am talking with has real intentions. I risk but safe risks where I know I would win and I am not the one who will be below the hands. I looked at Leira and there was fear in her eyes, while Chris just continued his story. I want to put the matters in my own hands. “Shit! Shit! You’re scaring her!” It felt like Chris was smirking at me and he was telling me that, ‘this is what you want – to tell her everything, and now that I am telling her everything you wanted me to stop?’ He is just looking directly at Leira, making me look at her expression too. “You just have to bear with it, you deserve to know the truth. You deserve to know who he really is.” I said to her in my mind only. I can’t voice it out now because she’s unable to hear me, Chris would

Chris treated Leira’s wound. He also took the time to clean her face using a towel while whispering sweet words towards her. “You are the definition of a psycho.” This time he didn’t just answer me, he even looked at me once again through the mirror intentionally, “yes. This psycho is you and this psycho would have the girl he wants.” He said then paid attention to Leira again. Leira finally woke up. She had a confused look on her face. This feels more and more of a drama on the television that my family was hooked on. Like any moment now I want to be on the scene and kill the bastard who was hurting my Leira. I hate what I see and hear but it would be much of a problem if I wouldn’t pay attention to what is happening in front of me. Seeing Leira’s condition right now – a girl who just wanted to get away from everything makes me belittle those girls who were just crying because of me. I mean, I could say I am a trash kind of a person. I don’t deserve the things that I have bu

The hands of the clock rotated on its own and even if I wanted to control it, I couldn't stop it. From its slow rotation, it started to rotate at a certain speed. As the rotation sped up, I felt like being sucked into somewhere. I feel like being sucked into a huge vacuum. There is no way that I couldn’t stop it no matter what I do. My head was spinning and everything that I could see was being sucked up along with me. It felt like a warp or something. It felt like I teleported and from traveling through unknown nothingness, then the sound of the chugging train is what I heard first. I closed and opened my eyes a lot of times to test if what I am seeing was real. A mountain view! And not just a simple mountain view, I am not just looking at it through what someone else was seeing. I am seeing it for myself! I almost lost my balance because of my joy. I am finally the one who is controlling my body! What feels more exhilarating is that I can’t feel the presence of Chris if he’s

I am definitely broken right now. My heart was just torn to pieces because of what she said. It was different before when I kept telling Chris that Leira likes him – him and not the real me. I never thought that this carefree time of Leira would be a reason for her to say what she truly feels. That’s a good thing, that she had finally said it. She had finally given what she truly felt and finally let it all out. I was able to hear it clearly, although we were on that ride and I purposely did not respond to whatever she said. “I think I like you but it’s absurd! You kept telling me that you’re from another world! I wish you were just someone else, I wish you’re not that complicated as I am! I hate you! But I like you too! My instinct was right – that’s why I kept telling myself not to like you even more. You are too good to be true. I cannot even answer my own self if you’re real or not and if the things that you are doing and saying we’re real or not!” I felt her tears as it

The last time I thought was making a deal with her. We’re about to travel the 6th and the 7th wonders before going to the 8th – my own wonder, my world where I would want to make her stay and that’s the very end of this journey for us. I have to find Dr. Carval as there is a problem with Leira’s father. Dr. Carval was able to travel in this world for the meantime with only his soul, both of us don't know why and maybe there is really a problem with the system. He asked me if the plan would work and if not, kill everyone that has to be killed including this body, Leira’s, and His. So then, no one would ever dare to experiment with the information that we all bear. But I can’t find Dr. Carval and up until today, my contact hasn't yet informed me of the doctor’s whereabouts. I am losing time. I feel that any second the real Chris would be able to overpower me and get his body back. He’s nosy, noisy, and talks like a crazy woman who loves to lecture people. Sometimes I wanted to shu

It Started When It Ended Epilogue
This trip is getting more weird, exciting, and mysterious. Starting from when we reached the village at Cinderella and the time that we reached Auradon. It’s just that Chris and I kept tracing the mystery people who have the same names as us. Another thing is the pictures that we’re at the village in Cinderella. Those old photos that almost faded, they said that it is someone named Leira and Chris who traveled there along with volunteers who used to help them. Leira told them about the liters of light which they still use until now. There is one photo that caught my attention, the one who resembles Chris a lot which was named Chris too. The man is shirtless and he is holding an axe. According to them they were all shocked when they saw us. They thought that it was too impossible for us to retain our young features that well and there is no such thing as incantations and magic that could do that. “Chris? What do you think about all these coincidences? The names of those two travele

My plan after graduating is to look for a job while working at the cafe that Patricia and I started. It would be as simple as that. If given a chance, I would want to come to my mom’s medical missions in the remote areas of Disney Republic, to help her and the residents that we would encounter with the degree that I’ve finished. Probably propose efficient interior house designs and then coordinate with different engineers and architects, find a funder for the project, and implement it. Mom and Dad loved the idea. But it was a too generalized plan and I have to narrow it down. I have to blend in with the locals and make sure they would love the design that I would propose as it is still a reflection of their culture. But for now, I will be away for a month. “You okay?” Chris asked as he held my hand and gently squeezed it. “Yeah. A bit excited actually.” I told him. Today is the first day that we will travel. He asked for my parents permission even after graduation, that’s why they

The days passed by quickly. And just like how our lives move at a fast-pace, Chris has been hitting on me expeditiously. It’s seems like yesterday since he thought that I was going to kill myself at the pumpkin bridge but it was already three weeks ago. And that three weeks had been eventful. Of course I consulted my best friend by that time and I’ve got Chris’ note on my note app. I screamed so loud that night and muffled it all by hugging my pillow since I don’t want to wake up my parents. Patricia was screaming with me. She said that I should just wait a bit – like for an hour before responding to Chris, “so that you won’t be too obvious!” She reasoned out. And I followed her because she’s my best friend and she’s my great advisor when it comes to theses things But this one is really different. Surely I had crushes and the feelings got reciprocated but I don’t go any further than that. It’s like I am looking for something else and I am waiting for it to come, for it to be found on

Chris chuckled at me, he said that his mom loves old and odd names that’s why his name is Crisostomo and his sister is named Odessa. “It’s not that weird though. My name is just the backwards spelling of Ariel, since my mom and dad met there.” I explained with a smile. After I was born at Ariel my mom and dad decided to live here in Cinderella. I grew up here with my neighbor and best friend Patricia. I had the best life with my caring parents, understanding friends, and living my life to the fullest ever since. I didn’t know what I did to deserve this kind of life but I am grateful for the life I have now. I believe my parents made me become who I am right now and all these are the product of my everyday choices in life. Chris stopped walking when we got near Octavius Subdivision, “you’re living near here?” I nodded, “then we’re just one subdivision away! I just moved here recently.” He was surprised and even told me that he’s happy he chose that subdivision. My brows raised, “you’

I walked straight to my favorite eatery that resides at the end of the pumpkin bridge. Gosh! Tita Q must have been waiting for me. I had to go to Patricia to bring her the gifts from our family outing. And there I spend a little too much time at Patricia’s house. Patricia was so happy, contemplating how the hell am I able to go out on an outing when it is our final week and we would be graduating in less than a month from now. I went inside the eatery. Like usual, there were lots of people that were eating and everyone was enjoying their meals. Tita Q greeted me with a tight hug, “saan ka ba nanggaling na bata ka?” She held my hand and pulled me to a seat. “I prepared your take-outs na. Hindi ka ba kakain muna dito?” Tita Q is one of the best women I know, aside from Patricia and my mother. She has two kids which she raises alone but she’s great at doing that. She focuses on her children and hands-on with them even when she has to handle the eatery alone. When it is my free-time –

Leira is the kindest girl I have ever known. Although she says otherwise, I could see her heart that isn’t selfish. By the time we were at the village, I felt that it was the real her. She had become her true self. She teaches children, she lets me court her, she communicates with us, and shares her life. I was able to see her carefree self again and swear, everytime she let people in her life and connect with them – I feel more so happy. I haven’t felt this happy and proud just because of someone’s happiness. Then we had to leave and face the problem we left. I had a bad feeling because of the storm. I didn’t wanna leave the village and if possible that we could just stay there – we would. But I know Leira, as kind as she is – she wanted to face the mess that the other Chris had made. The storm intensified my bad feeling. More when we have to find Dr. Carval and Levy only to find Dr. Carval and his lab alone. She even did a great sacrifice of pushing me away to burn down the lab.

Seeing her in this situation has brought so much emotion to me. It was more than just a dream. She’s here. In the middle of darkness was her soul, standing in front of me. I don’t know what to say. My tongue got tied. As I let go of the hug, I didn’t know why she told me to just forget her. Unlike me, she doesn’t seem happy. She just stood in front of me. She wore the same dress on the day she died. Her body is glowing – emitting a blinding light – but I don’t care as long as I can see her. “Leira?” With a confused look, I asked her. I wanted to get near her again but she didn’t let me. Although her body appears like a soul, I was able to touch her. It feels like a dream to see her – the real her. “Let me go, Chris.” She’s pleading. Her voice had become that sweet voice that I could hear of everytime we would have an argument and she would use that mellifluous voice in order to deceive me and get whatever she wanted. I looked at her, wanting to talk with her. Like how she is,

Fvck him! I don’t need saving but he’s proving to me that I do – that I just cannot admit it to myself but everything about me screams for a six feet under help. “Are you listening?” He told me about his plan. My father contacted him a while ago. He’s now with Dr. Carval and Andrei. They were trying to see if the other Chris was gone. “Are you alright? Did he hurt you?” I shook my head as if he could see me. “Leira…” His voice is pleading for me to answer. “Yes.” From all the shouting and what I told my father, I felt like my throat was now dry and I couldn’t speak anymore. My father wanted to meet Chris so he could exchange my freedom for Dr. Carval. I said no to Chris. That Dr. Carval’s life is more important than mine. But he told me that life is equally important for all, I wanted to rebut and told him that our case is different. “Hush. Just listen to me. Everything will be alright. You’d be free – the freedom you wanted. And I would witness that.’’ I felt him smiling at me
