CHAPTER 15
Huling Na-update:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was exactly midnight as I went back home.
My whole body was in sore. My left leg, there was a cloth attached to it to stop the blood from flowing, and have fractured knee.
I had also tons of small cuts in my arms, a single cut on my neck. My right palm had the long but not so deep cut due to clutching those two-sided blade weapon earlier. And the rest are bruises.
Good thing is, I can still drive home, and I am still alive. The high-pitched, turquoise-headed bitch is also breathing before I left her lying in the ring.
I reached my destination. I could see the guard opens the gate as I enters and proceed to the garage.
The cold breeze of midnight air touches my skin as I open the car's door. I winced in a great pain. I could feel the sore in my left leg as I finally moved out of the car.
The other guard suddenly appeared in front of me. "Ma'am, anong nangyari? Bakit ang dami mong--patay..."
"Where is Desmond?

When Don'ts Became Do's CHAPTER 16
We silently drove along the city's highway. I am right behind him in the passenger seat while his eyes focused on the road. He's driving. I throw him glance sometimes, and I'm afraid he might notice it.We were heading towards the hospital, just like what he have said last night. That's why I quickly prepared myself as I woke up, and no, I am not excited. Really. I turned my gaze back in the side mirror and felt a sudden suspense as I saw the same, white Mustang after us. It sounds following us since earlier.I may be too paranoid, so I shrugged that thought off and focused my gaze to other direction.We reached the hospital and he helped me out of the car. I wandered my eyes in the surroundings, searching for the Mustang who was following us. "Is there something bothering you?" Desmond asked from my behind.I can no longer see any signs of the suspicious car, so I sigh in relief. "No, nothing. Let's go--oh, fvc
When Don'ts Became Do's CHAPTER 17
We went back to our usual quiet state. No one is dared to talks, nor start a conversation. Kung gaano s'ya kaingay kanina ay ganoon rin s'ya katahimik ngayon. I can sense how speed he drive is, it was different from its usual rate. It was all sign of madness. His eyebrows didn't also separated away from each other, since we departed that place. It confused me. He should be thankful for I'll be going away from him, right? Because I am complicated and stubborn. I'm a huge pain in the ass. At nagawa ko pa s'yang ipahamak. Inihinto n'ya ang sasakyan nang makarating kami sa loob ng gate. Ibinuka ko ang aking labi, akmang magsasalita at kausapin s'ya ngunit agad n'ya akong tinalikuran at pabagsak na isinara ang pinto.Natulala ako nang ilang minuto bago itinikom muli ang nakaawang labi.I let out a heavy sigh.I assumed he will assist me, just like what he did on the hospital. But I was wrong. Akala ko s'ya ulit magtutulak ng wheelchair ko hanggang kwa
When Don'ts Became Do's CHAPTER 18
Living here in Italia brought me into a great adjustment again. Everyone was treating me like a crappy princess. I have to stay here inside this fvcking mansion where maids and butlers are everywhere, and go with stupid bodyguards if I'll be going outdoors.I hate it, but must to bare with it. I have to bare with these stupid closet of dresses and girly pairs of shoe that grandma brought for me. Ayaw nila akong umakto na parang lalaki at ayaw na ayaw nilang magmura ako na parang hindi babae. They're fvcking conservative, protective, and above all, dramatic.But in the midst adjusting, I found myself taking my old stuffs away. I forgot what alcohol tasted like. I forgot the noise of clubs sounds like, and so as the scent of cigarettes enters my nostrils. I am now preferred staying my room, reading books, and scroll on social media--things I lately called as stupidly, girly stuffs. I know, it's bullshit. But I getting used to it.

"That dress looks good in you," his deep voice uttered.I could see Desmond's reflection from here. He's observing me, lying on my bed with his both arms pillowed his head, together with a playful smirk lingered on his face.Nakatalikod ako sa kan'ya ngayon, kalahating nagtatanghal ng mga ipit mula sa buhok at kalahating sinasabunutan ang sarili habang nakaharap sa salamin. My whole face was still painted with embarrassment and I flushed even more with his sudden compliment.I cleared my throat. "Thanks."A part of me wants to puke. Seriously? 'Thanks?!' Oh, fvck. I can't even figure out if he really mean it, or he's just being sarcastic!I blinked. "What are you doing here, anyway?" I asked, changing the topic. "Nevermind that question. I know Dad sent you here." I fake a laughed and got choked with my own saliva. I awkwardly cleared my throat once again."He didn't." He shook his head. "I went here with my o

Madilim na ang gabi. Walang hirap akong bumaba mula sa balkonahe ng aking kwarto samantalang nasa taas pa rin si Desmond mukhang tulala."What now?" I hissed. "They might caught us. Hurry up!" I gestured my hand and it make him snap back to his consciousness. "You aren't spiderwoman, aren't you?" he asked, trying his best to whisper against his baritone voice.I looked at him in a boredom. "I've been doing these stuffs for years," I informed.He shook his head. "You could be a great robber someday," he commented and started taking his both feet down the terrace."No thanks," I murmured but not enough to reach his ears. Instead, I saw him took a huge gulp while staring at the ground.Hindi naman talaga ganoon kahirap bumaba dahil sa mga bintanang sa baba nito. Pangatlong palapag lang din ang aking kwarto.I sighed and crossed my arms. I tapped my foot in impatience while waiting for him to fully reach the ground. Pero napatigil sa pag-hakbang pababa. "I'
When Don'ts Became Do's CHAPTER 1
"Can you act like a real lady? It’s all I’ll ask of you, just for this evening." Dad requested, that statement was surely for me.Annoyance and frustrations crept through my veins. I wince before I spoke back. "You're asking a lot of them."Ridiculous. Is he expecting me to twirl my hair, smile sweetly, and giggle a little like a stupid? Sinalubong ko ang masamang tingin n'ya bago ko nilipat ang tingin sa labas. When do he stop meddling how to live my life?"This is not just an ordinary gathering, Monique. We surely meet a ton of important personalities. Puwede bang h'wag mo munang pairalin ang katigasan ng ulo mo ngayon?" Kelly joined the conversation. She really know how to annoy me more just by using my first name.I looked at her boredly. "Bakit naman kita susundin, sino ka ba?"Ramdam na ramdam ko ang masamang tingin nilang dalawa sa 'kin. Napasulyap ako sa rear mirror at nakita kong napa-iling si Dad.
When Don'ts Became Do's CHAPTER 2
I went to the bar section to get something to drink. The host lately announced to open the dance floor. Now I can see couples dancing along the ballroom music. Kitang kita ko rin sa 'di kalayuan ang pagsulyap ni Dad sa 'kin kasama ang matalim na tingin. I just laugh inside my head. Natatakot s'yang makita nila kung gaano kalakas uminom ang magaling n'yang anak?Don't worry, Dad. Wala akong balak maglasing ngayon, not this time, not in this kind of clothes, not in this kind of footwear. My wavy hair even fell down to my shoulder, and I'm extremely not comfortable. I should bring my hair string.It also sucks how people giving me strange look as I passed near them.I can see Desmond walk towards my direction but I ignored him. I just asked the bartender for another drink and gazed back to the dance floor. "Here ma'am."I took the cocktail and gulp of it."Lakas mo naman uminom," a baritone voice spoke behind me

"Mukha ka nang diablo," Agustin commented with a thick Bisaya accent. He sat infront of me.I won't be shock if I'd seen him here. We're on the same gang. We're here on the very corner table of Bar To Lome, a bar owned by our gang's mastermind, Daryll.The bar was full of colorful, neon lights and drunk people who are making out on the different corners.My mind flew to yesterday night. Nauwi kami sa sagutan ni Dad hanggang sa nakarating kami sa bahay, at wala na akong ibang narinig sa kan'ya kundi ang katagang 'isa raw akong kahihiyan'. I'm a living disappointment of the family, I already know it, and I claimed it. It means that I don't need to be nice anymore.I woke up at 4PM lately and took a bath. I successfully went to school at 5PM without facing an argument with him. I entered and walked on our school's corridor, peacefully, it didn't last long, my major subject professors informed me that I failed our final exam.Life i

Two fvcking weeks. It's been two fvcking week and he's still confined in the hospital, unconcious. Two fvcking weeks since my conscience been bugging the hell out of me. I hated myself even more because of what I've did. I've encounter a ton of failed attempts of visiting him but everytime I stood up infront of his room's door, I lost my courage. How dare me to visit him where, in fact, I was the one who brought that to him. I deserved it. I deserved hell. 'Di ko na dapat s'ya nilalapitan. I can still remember how my heart leap as I heard the news that he's awake. After fvcking weeks of hell, finally. Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa nabalitaan I heard that the doctor didn't discharged him right after his awakening, so I haven't seen him not util now. "We're here!" I stood up as I heard Tita Teressa screams as she enters the main door. It's also been one, another week since I heard the news.

I hit forty-three mph with my usual Audi as I passed a few buildings and billboards.I'm on my way now to school. I was listening some of The Beatles playlist in my bluetooth speaker, while fingers are tapping together with the beat of the music with my both hands' on a grip on my steering wheel.The music suddenly went off and replaced the sound of my phone ringing. I slowed down the car to reached the phone with my right hand.I frowned as I saw what's on my screen."'Yung utang mo," salubong ko nang masagot ko ang tawag at malagay telepono sa aking tenga."Aguy Mol, wala na bang mas pangit na bungad d'yan?" Agustin's ironinically replied with his thick bisaya accent.I surpass a bit chuckle. "What do you want? I'm driving, make it quick.""Hinahanap ka sa 'kin ni boss."My forehead creased in a frown after mentioning Daryll, the Strike Monsters gang mastermind."Why? We just met yesterday

He kissed me again, for the third time.Pero no'ng tumigil s'ya ay doon ko nalaman kung bakit n'ya ginawa 'yon."What the fvck is that for?!""I did that to cover your face from the paps."I stared at him in disbelief.He sigh before he spoke again. "... I just realized that you don't deserve all of these. Dinala kita dito dahil gusto kong habulin ka rin ng mga taong 'yon, hindi dahil 'yon ang sinabi ni Mom and Dad. Sa lahat-lahat ng mga ginawa mo sa 'kin, gusto... gusto rin kitang pahirapan. Hanggang sa nagkwento ka, hanggang sa nakonsensya ako. I shouldn't have brought you here. I'm sorry."I stared at him for a moment after hearing those words from him.He sounded sincere.A part of me wants to push him to fall down to the ground and curse him, but that time, I realized that he just want to protect me from being chased by those paps.He protected me from having a more fatal life, at least we bo
