Happy New Year, Everyone! 🤍

I winced a little, when I felt pain on the side of my head where I was hit by a sink. Its already been stitch and bandage, but I still feel pain from time to time. The doctors said its normal, so I don't have to worry.

"Is it hurting again?"Jace asked, worriedly. He must have heard my wincing. We were on the same room, all because of Jace. Ayaw kasi niyang mahiwalay kami dalawa. Kuya James wanted us to be seperated, but the doctors thinks its a good idea, so it would be easier to check on us.

"A little."

"Tatawag ba ako ng doctor?"Tumawa ako sa tanong niya.

"Its alright, Jace. I'm fine."I assured him.

"Alam niyo.."Napatingin kami kay Kaizer na nakaupo doon malapit sa pinto. He was the one monitoring us, since our other friends were busy buying our snacks."Kanina pa kayo. Mukhang hindi niyo napansin na may nagbabantay sa iyo at naglandian pa kayo diyan. Feel ko na ang pagiging third wheel."

"Shut up, Kaizer."

"Kailan pa babalik sina Amber?"I asked Kaizer.

"Papunta na raw sila. Amber chatted me."Kaizer said and showed me his phone.

Minutes later, the door suddenly opened and we were greeted by our friends."We're here!"Sapphire shouted.

"Bakit ang tagal niyo?"

"Eh, kasi itong si Rigel pumilit na bumili ng junk foods. Ang punta lang naman natin don ay para kaila Jewel at Jace."Sapphire complained and glared at Rigel. Rigel gazed at her, looking innocent like he didn't do anything wrong as he ate his junkfoods.

"Akin naman ang pero na ginamit ko pangbili."said Rigel, while pouting his lips. The boys look tired and sweaty, because they were the one carrying the grocery bag.

"May apple?"I asked Natasha. She then check her grocery bag and find an apple.

"Here."She said and throw me the apple and I caught it, swiftly. We were shocked, because I never thought I could catch like that.

"Woah!Nice reflexes."August complimented and started opening his junk food.

We started chatting about things until kuya Jayden and kuya Jaydan arrived.

"Wala kayong trabaho ngayon?"I asked them.

"Bumisita lang kami sa soon-to-be restaurant ni kuya Jackson."kuya Jem answered

"How are you, sis?"Kuya Jedan asked as he messed up my hair and I glared at him.

"Fine."I answered."Si kuya Jaydee?Sabi niya sasama siya."

"Nandon sa mansion, tulog. Galing sa bar, eh."Kuya Jedan rolled his eyes.

"Si mom?"

"Still busy, but she said she will visit you tonight."Kuya Jem answered.

"Can I have some?"Kuya Jedan asked Rigel, who still kept eating his food.

"Sure."Rigel said and let kuya Jaydan get some chips.

"The f*cker is still sleeping."Alam namin kung sino ang tinutukoy ni kuya Jedan. It was Damon. He was still alive, brought by the hospital, immediately, to remove the bullet on his chest. Mabuti nalang hindi dito na ospital. Because I know it will cause an uproar from my family and Jace.

"Pinuntahan niyo?"I asked, curiously.

"Yup."

"Anyways, her mom is ready to fight in court for his son's innocence." Nanlaki ang mata namin sa sinabi ni kuya Jem.
