It Started When It Ended Chapter C: The Other POV (14)
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

I broke down. I hugged him tightly with all I could, not minding if the cuffs were hurting our hands. I don’t know why I am trembling and crying this way – I just have a strong feeling of emotion right now. “I was really hoping for you.” I said. He’s dumbfounded. I know that I was just wishful thinking – I don’t know the real Chris, if he has the same attitude towards the Chris that hurt me but at least I am safe for now. “Please tell me that you’re not gonna hurt me.” I pleaded. I wish it was really a different Chris because if she has the same attitude as the other one – I swear to the being who has created all these dimensions that it wanted me to suffer because I am really a terrible person. I cannot explain what I feel. It was like a haven within someone’s arm even if you don’t know him – there’s just a hint of familiarity and the person’s presence radiates safety. But I should not be fooled for the other Chris made me feel that way at the beginning. “Of course I won’t, w

An hour of happiness comes with a sudden sadness and a lot of complications that drained me. But Chris helped. He’s really different from the other Chris, he is talkative and he kept me company. He’s trying his best to talk about stuff and makes me spill whatever it is that I am thinking. Which really helps a lot. He’s just like a therapist which would make you magnificently tell everything and not hide anything. He’s like that – no, more than that. Because a therapist or any psychiatrist or doctor makes me feel uncomfortable and makes me think that I am sick. But he isn’t. “And… and you know, I’ve thought of punching that asshole Chris a lot of times.” He shook his head, “but I would just hurt myself with that. I don’t want to ruin this beautiful face of mine.” He chuckled lightly and looked at me. Chris and I traveled back to Anna in order to get the camper van. He said he’s not sure if Chris from the other world is still inside his body, so we have to make sure that he is tot

By people that could help us, Chris meant his underground connections. I didn’t know that Merida has a place like this. I’ve been locked at Ariel my whole life so I don’t have much idea about the outside world and even if I wanted to explore, my energy was just enough to continue living. This must be another unconscious reason why I agreed to Chris in the first place. I just can’t admit it back then that I really wanted that. A place like the literal underground. Situated below the ground where most people come over to pass time. Oftenly kill time by killing each other through underground battle and oh, there is money involved. It’s dark here with light bulbs that look like my old apartment – it has dim lights that makes your eyes hurt every time it suddenly goes black and then comes back with a low light. “Where are the people that could help us?” I asked him while walking straight – looking at people around who were openly selling drugs or using it, making out, and fighting again

I wasn’t sure when I told Chris for us to continue traveling. We’re in the midst of the problem but all I could think about is how to get away from it. It’s just nearly a week before New Year’s Eve. Anywhere we go, there’s more and more people as they are busy preparing for the holidays. As Christmas is coming near too – an annual holiday celebration commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ as a religious and cultural celebration. I shook my head. Christmas isn’t something I have been looking forward to ever since I was a child. It’s just giving gifts and that’s it. It isn’t something special or a day that I would enjoy. I put my feet on the dashboard and looked at Chris with a serious face, “do you believe in Christmas?” I said. The other Chris would surely tell me, ‘yes!’ but I am not certain with this one. He chuckled lightly before he shook his head, “nope. I don’t believe in Christmas. Although I love the idea of Christmas because people were all trying to be good on that speci
It Started When It Ended Chapter CVI: Island of Moana
Chris had the camper van arranged inside the ferry while the two of us found a comfortable seat where we would be for four hours. I texted Patricia before we started sailing on the sea. She had several messages but I just told her that we’re on our way to Moana. I felt uneasy on my seat and looked at Chris who had just had his eyes closed. I stood up and left him to go to the deck. I stood up at the edge and watched the birds that were flying around and the endless ocean in my view. The water is not violent, for some reason the ocean is calm today and has a good ambiance. Everywhere I look inside the ferry are the people that got so many bags. Probably because they brought with them gifts for their special someone. I sat on the floor of the deck and just closed my eyes. Then I felt someone sit beside me and put his head on my shoulders. I let him, “you’re thinking about jumping on the water?” He asked, my eyes are closed so I can’t see if he’s looking at me or if he also got his

I stared at the blue ocean before me. The white sand shore and the people that are passing by. I wondered how the shore was able to meet the sea. I wondered how people met someone that could change their life drastically. I wondered how everything is interconnected and something affects another thing two ways – good or bad. I wondered how some people were able to dance under the rain and got mad at the sunny weather. I wondered about the people who were sad about the rain and those that love sunshines. And the time of course. If it is something that us – humans just made-up. I laughed at myself as I sniffed and wiped away my tears. “Sorry.” I gulped after I said that. “You don’t have to.” He said. Ngayon ko lang din napansin, the way Chris talks to me is different. He has a softer voice even though he talks more than the other Chris. He tells things easily and he’s honest to me – so far. I still don’t know why this guy likes me. He told me reasons but I cannot believe them.

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
