[VERONICA'S POV]
Maeji, Cherry and Jazel were 4 years older than us but we still treat them like we're on the same age.
They are here at home now because I got bored so I decided to have a sleepover and Night swimming with them.
"Ate Mary and I live here at home. If you see her, be good to her, but I think you won't see her. She rarely comes out of the room." I told them, I don't want to get into trouble,I know them. If they will not treat Mary goodly I will be the one who will scolded.
"Really? We can invite her over" Jazel said with full of excitement.
"Yeah sure but I don't think you'll like that idea" I said while arranging what I will wear tonight.
"What do you mean?" Cherry said laughing and came closer
Thank you for reading this chapter, I hope you enjoyed:) Your comments and vote are highly appreciated.
[VERONICA] “What the heck Nica! Stop what you’re doing!” Maeji shouted at me so I anxiously stopped. I was biting my fingernail because of nervousness. This is what I do whenever I'm nervous, anxious or scared. I hope nothing happened to Ate Mary. It was just a prank, I didn’t know she would drown totally. I couldn’t get close to Daddy in his seat. I knew he’s mad, he was still in police uniform and on his way home but what he found was Ate Mary drowning. “You shouldn’t have do that Maeji” I told her while crying. She then looked at me surprisingly. Yes, I'm the one who plan that but they should have stop me right? “Excuse me? It was your idea you should blame yourself” She commented. We were the only two who came because I really insisted. I'm t
[MARY] “What are you doing here?” I asked them when Nica and her friends finally leave. “Are you okay?” I looked at him in disbelief. Seriously? He’s asking me like that? “What kind of question is that Zyke?” Wayne said sarcastically he looked annoyed. I remain silent. Seconds later I speak. “Let’s try it with you then I’ll ask you if you’re okay” I sarcastically said to him. I’m not really feeling well. My head still hurts. “I’m sorry, I mean about Nica” He said so I understood now. I never thought Nica would think that of me.She’s too kind to do that but I guess even the kindest person can do bad things. “Be honest with me, do you guys hate me? Tell me, So that I can get away while it’s still early, I won’t be surprised if you’re just stabbing me in the back” I said seriously as they looked at each other, their foreheads furrowed. “Mary you are the only one who has been true to me, I consider you my
Chapter 18: Pj “Ohh! Oh! Oh hey! I don’t wanna kshdheisjsnjakskllJab ey ey is somebody to you!” They were singing. And I don’t understand their lyrics. I covered my ears because of the loudness of their voices. They played loud music but I don’t know the lyrics that they were muttering. “Please! My eardrums are broken!” Ashley said laughing. They were really loud. I regret letting them come with me. Ashley is on the window side while Zyke is in the other window. I’m between them. Kyle and Wayne are in the front seat and I don’t think they will last three hours together on the flight the fact that the two are like cats. We used Kyle’s car because he insisted he was also the one who drove. He is got his license cause he already in legal age. So no worries. After the song, slow music played. I sighed a relief. They are really loud. A police could arrest us if they continue doing a loud noise.
Chapter 19: The reason why she left “Philip?” I said out of shocked as I saw my childhood friend laughing with Zyke and Kyle. I almost forgot that we’re three. Julia, Philip and I were childhood besties. I’m still guilty of leaving him without a word. “Madison?” He was shocked to see me. Seconds later I found myself hugging him. I was speechless. I don’t know what to tell him. I had a feeling that he’s mad at me. “Can we eat first? I’m really hungry” I just realized when Kyle grabbed my hand and I followed him like a fool. We circled the round table and I followed as I watched Philip’s every move. He prepares the cutlery and glasses. I just noticed that this house didn’t even have a dust or stain, It is well care. “During the days when you weren’t here, I came here every day just in case you came back” I could no longer taste the food because of the twitter. Maybe my friends are wondering too because of him.
Chapter 20: A sudden confession“So are we just going to stare at each other?” I can’t help but to sound bitter. After crying we decided to go here to our old placed where we used to hangout.The vast field as we leaned against a large tree. When we were young we always played here.“Sorry Mary” She said with a teary eyes.“I want a complete Jul” I beg her as I held her hand.She deeply sighed before uttering the words that made me freeze.“They’ll kill you if I don’t do that to you …” She started crying again. Why does it feel like I’m in danger.“Who are they?” I confusedly asked her.“You see … your family is rich” I frowned at what he said. We’re not rich, we’re not poor either.“How did you say that? What do you mean?” Astonished I asked him. He smirked before looking at me seri
Chapter 21: Her answerI woke up when I felt a faint tap on my shoulder.I opened my eyes and felt like I didn’t want to wake up. I’m still sleepy.“It’s six o’clock Mary we need to leave” Ashley said. I finally opened my eyes and realized that she was dressed while I was still messing up my hair.“All right I’ll just change my clothes” I said softly, I waited for her to leave before I stood up. My eyes were still wide open when I stood up.I handed my bag and went straight inside the comfort room. I just had a half bath cause I couldn’t handle the coldness of the water. I’m still cold.On the way down I caught up with Zyke and Philip who were already preparing food.“Let’s eat first” Zyke whispered.We ate together and I felt something was wrong. They are all quiet. Which I’m not used to.After this meal, I went to their school; Ph
Chapter 22: A sudden confrontation There are people who really suddenly don’t pay attention. You don’t know if you did something wrong or just hit that person. In all classes he ignored me. Yes, I know that at first I didn’t really want to talk to him but he made me used his treatment to me. Why now he suddenly stopped. He is quiet or should I say he is quiet when he is with me. He was talking to my classmates but when he came to me he couldn’t even look me in the eyes. We’re on our way to the music room, the class is over so it’s time for practice. We walked together but no one spoke to either of us. I wanted to talk to him but my tongue receded and the word I wanted to say was missing. Upon entering the room we were greeted by a smiling Kyle. He was looking missing but I avoided him. “Tss” I heard Wayne say. Wait is he jealous? Or am I just assuming. What’s his problem? He looked like he’s carrying the heavy ear
Chapter 23: A day with him The next day I could barely speak when Kyle came to pick me up. Of course the Vescinzo saw him and asked him a questions. I somehow felt that they look like my family. We walked quietly down the road and the silence was deafening. It’s better to be talkative than to be quiet. I just asked him about Madelaine. Cause I can’t find the right words to say. “She’s okay, she’s talking to me and she won’t show up as Monica” He said almost laugh. I asked him how was Madelaine. “Do you ever think of surrendering her to the police?” He suddenly asked, he glanced at me. I have no intention of handing her over to the police because there’s a side of me that I want to take care of her. But it is not possible. The day will also come when the police will see her. “I don’t know …” I could only say. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her” He said and glance at me, We stare at each for a second then he smiled at me. I felt
