Medusa

Cassiopeia's Point of View

~~~🌸~~~

"It's been months since you've been away, Cassie. Many things have changed in just a short span of time, but one thing is for sure. We want you to stay with us." 

We are heading to the hospital again to check on Veronica. Visiting hours had already passed, but because it was a hospital owned by Erin's family, we could get in.

"But we don't want to be selfish, Cassie. We understand, if you don't want to be part of it again." 

Lumingon si Barbie pero sa daan sa harapan ang kaniyang tingin. She's with us earlier when Eya and I were talking so I hope they get my point when I told them that. It's not that I don't wanna be part of them again. Ayaw ko lang sila na mapano ng dahil sa akin, but then I heard about everything that happened while I was gone. I don't think I can still walk away from them.

"H-how about Kenneth?" I, somehow manage to ask other things. Dahil tutal kahit papano ay nalilinaw na nila sa akin ang ilang bagay, gusto ko ng lubusin ang lahat.

I decided to stay with them again, but I want to know everything. I don't know if I can regain the trust I lost with these people, but I want to try at least.

"Kenneth? Hindi pa ba sinabi sayo ni Lance?" She asked back kaya umiling ako.

"Well, I will understand if you are still mad at him but Kenneth didn't do anything wrong, Cassie. Nangyari na nagkakilala si Kenneth at ang kapatid ni Rhian one time. Nakuha niya ang loob ni Rhowan without him noticing that Kenneth was just acting since day one. Rhowan was desperate. At akala niya makukuha niya si Kenneth and can convince him to totally turn his back on his friends."

Now that I am hearing it, hindi ko alam kung sino ang paniniwalaan pero gusto ko maniwala. Gustong-gusto ko maniwala pero hindi ko kaya sa ngayon.

"Siguro ang mali lang niya, he did it on his own way. Hindi muna niya sinabi sa mga kaibigan ang balak niya. Kaya ang nangyari, inakala ng lahat that he was a traitor. He was also the victim, Cassie." Saglit akong nilingon ni Barbie pero agad ding tumingin sa daan sa kaniyang harapan.

"Rhowan was really a mad man. He tried to set something up against, Kenneth. Nakuha nila Lance noon sa gamit ni Kenneth ang isang maliit na bote na naglalaman ng gamot na nagamit mo noon that made you forget the things in the past. And the small handbook which has some information about Rhian and Rhowan's group. Though, it was a setup kaya useless din after they checked all the information."

Papasok na kami sa basement ng hospital habang nauuna ang sasakyan ng iba at kasunod naman namin si Lance.

Hindi na ako nagsalita. Hearing these makes me think twice. Yes, I was still a bit hesitant to trust him again, but maybe time will let me heal. Isa pa, dahil nandito na ako, I will have the means of knowing what really happened. Hindi sapat sa akin ang naririnig lang ang mga ito at alam ko rin that we are still not done with what happened in the past.
