Chapter-245

.Aries's POV

Say goodbye

*ContinuationOfFlashback...* Jay-
jay....b-why? "Aries!" I slowly opened my eyes. It was blurry, I was dizzy. I couldn't feel anything and it felt like I
couldn't move. "Wake up! Aries!" Someone shouted angrily. Only two people I know speak English when they're
angry. Keifer or Percy. I tried to move my hands but they wouldn't join in. Until I looked at the front of the car.
W-why was it likeâ€"?! Where was I?! No! Where were Keifer, Yuri and Percy! I looked at them from behind but all
I saw was Percy. Bloody and shaking with fear. What happened? My whole body was aching. The car's
windows were shattered. There was no door in the back and everything was out of order. "P-percy." I called to
him. "Aries... C-can you move?" He asked as I tried to do so. My hand was shaking and didn't seem to want to
ollow me. I tried to unbuckle my seatbelt but when I let go, the car suddenly moved. "W-what's that?" Percy
took a deep breath. "W-we're on the edge of a cliff." Cliff? I peeked out the window next to me. The front of the
car up to the first tire was in the air over the cliff. The car could fall at any time. I didn't know what to do. I was
speechless. Am I going to die here? I'm safe from what Jay did but I'm going to stay here. "W-what are we
going to do Percy?" I asked him. He looked at me and seemed to be saying that we had no hope anymore.
"Open the door next to you." He ordered me. I did as he said and to my surprise it came loose from the car. It
also caused the car to shake even more. I held on tightly to the steering wheel and the seat. The car stopped
moving. I took a deep breath to calm myself. I can't do what I should do if I'm panicking. "P-percy." I called out
to him hoping to ask what I should do next but I was stopped when I saw him smiling at me. "Y-you...have to
jump...out." He said with a broken voice. "W-what?" I looked at his whole body. He didn't move and he hadn't
changed his position since I woke up. That's when I realized what he wanted to happen. D-did heâ€"no! "N-no!
No! No! I can't! I'm not leaving you here! No!" I said as my tears flowed. No way. I can't just leave him here.
"You have to. T-this is the only way." He replied as his tears fell. "...my siblings, please. And Freya..." he smiled
bitterly. "...please explain that his boyfriend felt like a superhero." "No, Percy! Ask anything else." He shook his
head as he wiped away his tears. "You have to leave now." He said seriously. "Percy! No! I can't!" "Get out!
Leave me now!" "No! I'm not leaving you here!" "Do it! Leave me here!" He grabbed me by the collar of my
dress. His tears continued to fall. I held his hand. "There's only one of us who can live now...don't waste this
opportunity." "I-I can't." He smiled at me again. The smile that said everything was fine. The smile he was
giving us. "I'm happy that I met you." He said. "Pleaseâ€"Percy!" In an instant, he pushed me out of the car with
all his strength. I fell to the muddy ground. I tried to get up and forget the pain in my body but all I saw was the
car sliding down the cliff. "NO!" The river was below the cliff. The current was strong and the water was the
color of mud. I could see how quickly the water had eaten the car. "P-percy..." *EndOfFlashback...* I slowly
opened my eyes. The light peeking through the window dawned on me. I turned my head in the other direction
and the snoring Jay-jay dawned on me. She was still drooling while drooling. I can't hold my smile because of
her face. Yup! She's definitely my sister. I tapped her forehead to wake her up but there was no response. I
tried to get up but I stopped when I saw what was on my stomach. Jay's leg and his foot almost came close
to my face. I removed his leg and pushed him slightly but still nothing. He was still fast asleep while he had
gone to bed before me last night. "Haay... I can't believe this." I whispered to myself. I got up from his bed and
took my cellphone from the bedside table. I frowned when I saw that I had a text message from an unknown
number. From: +639********** Message: Please... wait for me. I will return as soon as I can. I immediately
deleted the message. I know who this person is. I can't be wrong. How did Keifer know my number? I looked
at Jay when he changed positions. He was the last one to use my cellphone, but from what I remember, he
was talking to someone else last night. Could it be? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jay-jay's POV
Holding the fork and ready to attack. I quickly stabbed the hotdog on the plate but I had an opponent. He also
stabbed the hotdog I was heating. There was another fork. I could have played the one in the movie. When the
enemy and the hero meet. Along with the evil stare in the middle of the fight. Hehehehe movie-like power.
"This is mine." I said threateningly. "No, this is mine." My opponent answered me, none other than Perena â€"
este, the horoscope. "This is mine! I went first!" "Jay! You've already eaten seven hotdogs." "It's too much for
Seven, only five." I explained while slowly pulling the hotdog closer to me. "You lost count, you ate seven." He
answered and stopped my pulling. "You're right there. You have your own hotdog butâ€"ARAY!!" Something
suddenly jumped out at me, causing me to drop the hotdog and let him get it. I looked at who was doing it. It
was Kuya who was still holding a cup of coffee. He looked at me with a bad look on his face so I immediately
bowed. "Where did you learn those things?" He asked authoritatively. I was still holding the back of my head
as I looked at him with a look of surprise. "What did you learn?" "What are you talking aboutâ€"about the
hotdog." He answered while widening his eyes at me. "He really has his own hotdog! There it is on his plate!"
He pointed at his plate with two hotdogs that were not moving. Aries was dead angry as he continued eating.
I looked back at Kuya and he seemed embarrassed. He was reading the newspaper he was holding but it was
upside down. Kuya must have had a brain fog. Because we had already finished the hotdog, egg, and bacon
breakfast. I was forced to endure the pandesal. I was still hungry. I wanted to eat something to eat. "Where are
you going to the gym?" Aries asked without hesitation, which made me freeze. I also looked at Kuya for a
moment before answering him. "B-maybe in the gymnasium or the school's open auditorium." I heard the
newspaper folding next to me. I knew he was going to ask. He didn't know that we had been kicked out of the
room completely. We were about to be picked up in the hallway. "What do you mean? Why are you going to the
gymnasium?" He asked, making me nervous. I didn't want to answer him because he might suddenly rush into
the school and cause trouble. Maybe he'd fight the guidance counselor again. "W-what... c-because..." I looked
at Aries to ask for help but Gago was busy texting. "Jay-jay." Kuya called out as if he came from underground.
"...answer me." "Because...." I scratched my head. "....We've Been Kicked Out of the Room." I said
quickly but he still seemed to understand. "WHAT?!" I pretended to look at the clock even though I didn't know
where the wall clock was. "Oh look! I'm so-so late. I need to get ready." I stood up quickly and didn't wait for
Kuya to say anything. I ran to my room and locked the door. I just hoped he didn't rush off to school. It was
another scene. I took my cellphone and checked if there was a message from him but there was none. I threw
myself off the bed and lifelessly picked up my towel before heading straight to the bathroom. It's a good thing
the ghost knows how to make me feel. That's embarrassing for the King of Snakes. I don't think I really plan
on coming back here. I was already under the shower when something came to my mind. What if that idiot
already has a woman? He's in another country. There are many beautiful, tall, and big-breasted women there.
It's not hardâ€"you pretend to be the King!!! I just don't want to know that idiot is flirting with someone. I'll get on
a plane even if it's just the wings or the wheels, just to get to where he's been. I'll make him taste the pain of
revenge. There's no trace of a scar on your eyes. Even your groin will be covered in whip marks. You'll crawl in
the mud and I'll beat you up real bad. "Don't be a womanizer." I said and continued showering. After doing
what I had to do in the bathroom, I got dressed. I was almost done when I heard a knock. I couldn't help but
open it and the Horoscope for today came up. "Quickly. We're going to be late." He said annoyed and left. I
blinked. What?! Did he just use the word 'we'?! Wow! We're there?! There's someone! I'm OA but I'm like I'm
shaking. Naks! Is this it. Is this a sign that the two of us are okay? That there's no more fighting? Let's go,
okay! I smiled, grabbed my bag and ran out of the room. That feeling of happiness because of a simple thing.
A superficial reason but for me, that's happiness. It's confirmed! Okay, alright, my brother and I can predict the
uture. When I came out, I saw him standing next to his car.He motioned for me to get in the passenger seat
next to the driver. I was excited, so I got in right away, almost falling into the seat. "Shall we get in together?" I
asked him with a smile. He looked at me curiously as if I was a very weird person. Sorry...just excited!! He
started the car. He was quiet at first but would occasionally look at me. "You're weird." He whispered, which I
heard. "I'm just happy." I replied. "And why?" "Because we're okay. You can accept how beautiful I am." He
suddenly laughed while shaking his head. I just let him go because maybe he was also happy that we had
met. We arrived at the school and he didn't let me get out. I was inside until he parked the car in the parking
lot. I smiled as I unbuckled my seatbelt. "Thank you." I told him. "What for?" I shook my head. "Nothing. I just
wanted to say something." He smiled and motioned for me to come closer to him and I did. I wondered what
he was going to do but suddenly he squeezed my cheek. "Aaahhhh... Ouch! M-mashakeeet!" "Be smart! Stop
fighting!" He said while pulling my cheek. I cried when he pulled it away. I expected him to kiss me.
I put a hand on my forehead like I saw on TV.
"Get ready." He added before opening his car door.
I did the same and the
students who were looking at us and whispering couldn't escape my sight.
What a gossip!!
I just pushed them away and walked towards our building but
I stopped when I saw Edrix.
"Jay." He called to me. "...let's go to the gym."
I looked at him seriously and nodded. I turned to go towards the
gym and he followed me.
"Jay-jay." He called to me again but I didn't look at him.
"...I wish I could give you something."
I stopped and quickly faced him. I looked at my hand.
It was a flashdrive with a small plug. All I knew was
that this one was for a cellphone.
I had food on my mind.
I took it and looked at it. "What is this for?"
"I wanted to apologize to you. That's what we did. As a way of
making up, I insisted on taking all the files from your old cellphone."
My eyes widened at what he said. My old cellphone that I threw at him
when he was pretending to be the King of Tarantado but he dodged it! It was broken and
shattered on the floor.
If he got the files, it means all the pictures and videos. Y-yung
memories of us.
"I'm really sorry Jay. I'm loyal to Keifer so I followed
his orders." He said while bowing.
I suddenly held Edrix's hand. I don't know why but
my heart is so happy right now.
"Thank you, I'm in a good mood right now." I said while smiling at
him. "...so I'll give you a chance too."
He smiled at me and was about to hug me but I immediately blocked
my hand from his face.
"You're so abusive. I just held your hand and now
I'm going to hug you." I said sarcastically. "...You're so intense."
"Sorry. I was just happy too." He replied with a hand on his shoulder. "...let's go to the
gym."
He started walking first and I quickly followed.
I felt like there were so many good things going on right now. I'm holding
the flashdrive that I remember the contents of.
My smile never leaves my lips. I feel like nothing can ruin
my day.
But that's all I thought, because when we entered the gymâ€"
the punishment of the world was upon us.
