Liam's Pov

Five a.m na kami naka labas ni Ace ng kulungan. Her grandmother bailed him out, while I was bailed by my older brother, Clyde na inutusan naman ni Dad.

Ingat din kami sa pag labas ng police station dahil baka may maka kita sa amin na paparazzi o reporter. Kasi kung nag kataon 'Youngest son of billionaire business man, Tyler Breeze got arrested' will be plastered in the online news articles and news papers, and that's the least my dad want to happened. Kasiraan daw kuno kasi sa pamilya namin, kung pamilya ba naman kaming matatawag.

Those fucking reporters and paparazzi not only give a fuck about celebrities, but specifically rich, powerful and famous personalities like our family. You can't have any flaws when they are around, you have to act perfect or else you're reputation is screwed. Pag nag kataon na huli ka nila, you have to shove money sa kanilang mga bunganga para manahimik sila, it's like a win-win situation for the both parties.

Pag dating namin sa bahay, papasok pa lang kami ni Clyde, dinig na namin ang sigawan ng aming mga na paka galing naming magulang. Seriously? It's only quarter to six in the morning.

"Good morning my dear parents!" Sarkastiko kong sabi, the moment Clyde and I entered the living room. Na tigilan din sa pag aaway si Joan at Dad. Napa iling naman si Clyde.

"Ooh, am I bothering you? Go ahead, tuloy niyo na." Dagdag ko. Both of my parents are glaring ate me.

"Watch your words, Liam Joler. Alam mo umalis ka na diyan sa gang mo ha, nagiging bastos ka na e! Tingnan mo nga 'yan na aresto ka na naman, ano na naman ba ginagawa mo?" Galit na sabi ni, Joan that made me snort and roll me eyes.

"You don't tell me what to do, Joan." I replied, emphasizing her name. "'Wag mo akong pinapakailaman, hindi naman kita pinapakailaman sa ginagawa mo sa buhay mo." Dagdag ko, that taken her aback.

"Liam, apologize to your mom!" Seryoso na sabi naman ni Dad.

"Are you for real dad? You're defending that woman for real? Ha! No fucking waaay." Natatawa kong sabi, making my way upstairs, ignoring my dad's shouting my name, sumunod naman si Clyde sa akin.

The moment na makarating kami sa second floor ng mansyon, nag umpisa na naman mag sigawan ang mga magulang namin, now blaming each other kung bakit ako naging ganito. That's right, blame each other, kasalanan niyo naman talaga e.

"Thanks for bailing me out, again by the way." Naka smirk kong sabi kay Clyde bago siya pumasok sa kwarto niya, na katabi lang ng kwarto ko.

"Am I hearing that right?" Natatawa naman na tanong ni Clyde.

"I can't blame you kung na bibingi ka na sa mga magulang natin." Sagot ko.

"You don't have to thank me though, you're my brother and I care for you, saka next Saturday na birthday mo diba? Consider it as my advance birthday gift." Sabi niya, before entering his room na katabi lang ng kwarto ko.

Hindi ko alam kung pinag lihi ba sa santo 'yung kuya ko na 'yan, dahil kahit madalas inaaway o binabara ko siya ang bait pa din niya sa akin. He had all the right na patulan ako, but he never did. Ganoon din sa mga magulang namin, despite sa lahat ng nangyayari sa pamilya namin, hindi niya pinili mag rebelde gaya ko, when he had all the right to do so. Kaya nga siya favorite ng magulang namin, specifically dad because he's damn perfect.
