Ishmael's POV

SUNDAY. 6:53 am.

"Illyria, where's Mom?" I asked while walking downstairs.

"As you can see, she's not with me." She said in a matter of fact tone.

"Illyria Fleur." I warned, crossing my arms.

"Ishmael Fier." She mocked.

"You're imitating me, huh?"

"Am I? Oh, sorry brother." She spouted.

I gave her a warning look. She then rolled her eyes before answering.

"She visited your ex." She even emphasized the last word just to tease me again.

"You know manners?" I asked in sarcasm while pouring my glass with fresh milk.

"Who's that?" She also asked.

"You smart-mouthed kid. Don't talk to me ever again." And then I walked upstairs.

Narinig ko pa siyang humagalpak ng tawa dahil nagtagumpay na naman siyang pikunin ako. She's 16 and I'm 21 yet she treats me like I'm 8.

Pumasok ako sa kwarto atsaka tumambay sa veranda. I opened my instagram account and then I saw Siam's story.

She's holding Caidence's hand with a caption, "Please wake up."

And then the next slide confused me more.

There's no picture but it says, "Not my hand."

My brows furrowed when I suddenly saw Avia's video story. It was Caidence who is still unconcious and a man who's holding her hand while sleeping.

"Asher, wake up." Avia tapped the man's back. The man woke up and looked at Avia.

"Stop recording, Villafranca." He covered the camera and the video ended.

Seriously, Helix?

Siam's POV

"ANG SWEET MO NAMAN, PAPA KILLIAN!" Pang-aasar ko kay Asher habang tawa naman nang tawa si Avia sa gilid.

"Shut up, Alera." He spouted as he transferred to the sofa.

"Wushoo! Anong oras ka dumating dito, ha?" Tinusok-tusok ko ang bewang niya.

"Stop it, you're so noisy." Irap niya dahilan para mas lalo kaming matawa.

"Ikaw naman kasi, may pahawak pa ng kamay! Jowa ka?" Gatong ni Avia.

"Naku! Asher, I'm telling you. Hindi pa 'yan nakaka-move on." Sabat ko.

"I'm not saying anything." He hissed, napipikon na.

"Oh, e anong oras ka nga bumisita?" Kompronta ko.

"Exactly 6."

"Ba't nakatulog ka agad? Nagpuyat ka ba?" Tanong naman ni Avia at inilapag na sa mesa ang tinake-out namin from a fastfood restaurant. Amoy kemikal kasi ang pagkain sa cafeteria, no offense.

Imbes na sumagot ay kumain na lang siya. Nagkatinginan kami ni Avia at sabay na nagpigil ng tawa.

Halatang halata naman kasi itong si Asher, hindi man lang marunong magtago ng feelings!
