WHERE IS MY AMYTHYST?

LJ's POV

Hey people! Leone James Montez here! I just want to tell you a little secret. I didn't tell even a single soul about it yet. I'm planning to tell T about it now but seeing him like this, I wanted to know what happened that night first. All of us got curious of what happened because C suddenly left us and T changed so much. We needed to find out what happened before I tell T that I saw her already. That I already know where she went and what she had been doing for the past 5 years. We needed to know everything that had happened before C and T meet again.

DRIX's POV

It's weekend so it is understandable that the bar is so crowded. But even on regular days, it is always fully booked. By the way, the owner of Lexus' Night is no other than Lexus Caezar Saavedra. The reason why he could get any girl he wants.

The bar consists of three floors. The Pool on the ground floor where you can find the dance floor and cocktail tables around it, the mini stage, and the bar counter; the Private and VIP lounge on the second floor where you can find private couches, private rooms and the private bar and DJ's corner; and the Thrones on the third floor where you can find our spot. It also have the control room and is enclosed with a sound proof glass.

From the bar counter, we transferred to our usual spot here in LN. The Thrones. We chose this spot because we could monitor everything from up here. We are all stockholders of this bar but Lex is the owner.

We're just having our usual conversation when I saw my sister entered the bar together with her friends. I didn't mind her because she usually goes here with her friends to relax a bit. They're stressed out not just with their own business but also in finding her as well. But what caught my attention is the girl they are with. I can't see her face because she's facing her back at me.

I suddenly felt like someone punched my chest lightly while looking at her back. It's been a long time since I felt this strange feeling. And I'm only feeling this when she's near. I couldn't be wrong. Because the very first time I felt this way was when I saw her crying at their subdivision's club house.

*Summer 2014*

Sunday. 8AM.

We are here at the basketball court of a subdivision near our place. The team is already complete and we are just waiting for our opponent's team to be here. We've been waiting for this match since last month. We don't want to have a fist fight because of some petty childish challenge so we better end everything this way.

"Bro! I'll just jog around the area. Beep me up when they arrive." I said to Lex.

"Copy Captain!" he replied.

I did my stretching routine first before jogging a few laps around the area. And when I reached the club house, I decided to take a rest under a shady tree beside the entrance. I'm about to scan for a good music on my phone when suddenly, I heard someone sniffing from the other side of the tree. I got curious so I tried to take a peek. The first thing a saw were sheets of paper with sketches of different designs of gowns lying on the grass. And beside them are coloring and drawing materials. Next to those is a girl. I can't see her face because her hair is blocking it. I can say that she's been crying for a couple of minutes now because she's been sobbing and hiccuping. After a while, she took a deep breath and fix herself. She made her hair into a messy bun using a color pencil then stared at a sketch book on her lap. It has a drawing of a hall full of elegant decorations. I don't know if she's the one who drew these but if she was, she must be a professional designer. These are amazing!

"Okay Cloe! Stop wasting your tears for those people who took advantage of you. You don't deserve them. You don't need them!" the girl said to herself.

After hearing her voice, I suddenly felt like someone punched my chest. That voice was the most soft and angelic voice I have ever heard. And when I take a look at her face, even if I only could see her side profile, I could tell that she got the most mesmerizing features ever. Even when her nose is red and her eyes are a bit puffy because of crying, she is still gorgeous. It seems like my world stops in just a mere sight of her.

"But how about these? I made these for them! I've spent almost a month just to make these perfect for them and then what? They'll just betray me? Say that they were just using me all these years? Why? Why does it have to be me?" Then she started crying again. I don't know why but it angered me when I heard the things that she said. It made my blood boil. Whoever those people who made this pretty face cry, they must be above her. Because if not, I'll make sure that they will all go down.

I suddenly got back to reality when I felt the vibration of my phone. I received a message from Lex saying that the match is about to start. I don't want to go yet. I don't know why but I feel like I need to stay and comfort her. But I should go. First, she doesn't know me. I don't know her, neither. I might creep her out if I show my face to her. Second, I don't want to disappoint my team. We've been preparing for this match so they won't bother us again. I really need to go.

I silently look for a clean sheet of paper and a marker. I'll just leave something for her. And I do hope it could make her smile.

"Love is not love if it is not painful. Any kind of love is painful. Cry now. Dance with pain. Your tears only proves that you showed them the real you. But they wasted such a precious gem as you. They don't deserve you. You deserve someone who won't treat you less. You may be alone now. But who knows? You may meet someone who will treasure you the way you deserve. And someday, I hope to see you smile as bright as the stars in the night sky. ---TDM"

*****

My sister approached her and pointed our direction. When she turned around to look at our way, I was not surprised at all. But my heart beats erratically as our eyes meet. It was just a few seconds but my heart couldn't stay still. She immediately look back and nodded at my sister. Then they proceed to go up here.

Something has changed. Might be because I just saw her now after so many years. She's absolutely still a stunner though. So gorgeous. Ghaad! I miss her! I really do. But what if she hates me? What if she had changed her heart because of what happened? What if she doesn't love me anymore? What should I do?

She's finally here! Right here in front of me. So near yet so far. I can't even make myself to try talk to her. I'm just here standing in front of her, looking at her beautiful face. Those innocent eyes. D*mn it! I really miss her!

"Hi TD!" She said energetically. She said it so casually. Like we're hanging out so often. Like nothing happened almost 5 years ago. But why does it seem so cold to me? Why do I feel like I am being torn into a million pieces?

Where is the girl who calls me by my second name even if I told her not to?

Where is the girl who looks at me so dearly with those warm and loving eyes?

Where is my Amythyst?
