Broke
Keifer's POV
I think something is wrong. As far as I remember I'm the oldest among the three of us. But why does Keigan seem older than us now. "Why do you still know the Doctor?" He asked while glaring at me. I couldn't swallow my food because of what he was doing. Even the butlers and maids were surprised by his behavior. Early in the morning but he was already lecturing me. He's angry because of what I did to leave the hospital even though it's not really possible. We were supposed to have a normal breakfast but my brother chooses to scold me while eating. "Babylyn!" He called one of the maids and we all flinched because of his voice. "...Please follow the diet the Doctor gave to my brother." "Yes, Sirâ€"." I cut them off. "You don't have to." "No! You have to." Keigan insisted. I was starting to get annoyed at his behavior. He's still smart to me and he still seems like the Boss here at home. I drink water igorously and look at him straight in the eye. "I said, you don't have to." My tone is calm but can still sense authority. "...do you even want to know about my food?" "The Doctor bought it so your wound can heal quickly." "It's like something new is happening to me. I 've been stabbed and broken bones several times but I haven't followed that diet plan once. I don't even take medicine." He wipes his lips using the table napkin after putting down his spoon and fork. He looks at me seriously not showing any sign of giving up the conversation. "It's different now. You can't see my weakness. We already talk about this before." "I have no weaknessâ€"." He chuckled bitterly. "Really? What do you call that wound ? Why were you stabbed?" I look away. He didn't even know I saved Jay-jay. All he knew was that I was in a simple ï¬ght. The people we were ï¬ghting with turned to me and helped me when I was alone. "I was occupied. I didn't notice the knife." I simply explain. I saw him mouthed 'bullsh*t'. I didn't like him talking like that in front of me. I cross my arm and my orehead crease. "Yes, it's really bullshit. Especially that you're not there and didn't see what exactly happened!" I'm starting to raise my voice. He looks guilty before avoiding my eyes. I looked at my wrist watch and released a heavy sigh. "Get ready, you'll be late for school. I said before looking at Keiren. He looked so uncomfortable. Maybe because of our conversation. Keigan and I almost had a ï¬ght in front of him. "I'm done." He said almost whispering. I force a smile. "Your personal butler will drive you to school." "Why not you?" I pointed to the part where I was stabbed. He tilted his head slightly to look at that. "Still giving me trouble to drive." I explained and he nodded. I motioned for his butler to approach Keiren. He helped him get his bag but my youngest brother was stubborn . He insisted that he do it. Keigan followed them after. "Make sure you won't do something crazy again." He said before leaving the Dining room. I motioned for the maids to leave ï¬rst. I wanted to be alone. I washed my face with both my hands. I gave Keigan my full trust for the We had a plan but why do I feel like he's taking advantage of what's happening to make me do what he wants. I was confused by his behavior. I chose to ï¬gure out our bigger problem ï¬rst. For now I have to go to school. I took my phone and dialed Yuri's number. It took just a few seconds before he answered. ["Keifer..."] "Are you going to school? I'll ride along again." I heard him sighs. ["You know I'll pick up Jay-jay, right?"] I smiled mischievously "I know. That's give me more reason to ride along." ["Fine. I'm on my way."] He said and I ended the call. I stood up and picked up my bag with a single piece of notebook inside. I was walking out of the house when I noticed some bodyguards in the garage. I quickly approached them. "I told you not to show up here. What are you doing?" I ask them sounds irritated. "Sir... Just reporting. We saw some of your Dad's men. They're hanging around the house." "Any casualties?" This time I sound formal. "None Sir. But we suggest bodyguards for your protection." I shook my head. "No. I don't want bodyguards." "But Sirâ€"." "I said no!" They all bowed down together. I sighed after holding my breath. "Did you go to Jay-jay?" "Sir, Kiegan stopped us." Damn it! He already said he would intervene. He thinks Clyde and I will ï¬nd out if they see that I still have a connection to Jay-jay. My only hope is for our friends. This is annoying. I feel like we're on an island in the middle of a big ocean. Resources are scarce and the only way to save Jay-jay is to put him on a boat leaving the island. What should I do now? I saw Yuri's car at the gate of the house. I just signaled the bodyguards to go back to work before ï¬nally approaching the car waiting for me. I knocked on his car window. I heard the door unlock so I opened it and got in right away. "Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded shortly as an answer for him. "Last time you've been with me?" "And why?" His forehead creased. "You're bothering Jay-jay and me." "Wow... Shame." I sarcastically said. He drove his car while still talking. "How will I make her mine when you're always around? She's still mixed emotions so it's not nice to see her." "Around her or not if she'll be yoursâ€"she will be. Because you're not a loser." "Tss..." He sounds pissed. I can't help but smile. Maybe he has plans for Jay-jay today. But he obviously have to postpone it because of me. Not that long when we arrive at our destination. He opened the car door and got out. "Behave!" He said with a warning shot in his eyes before slamming the car door. Sometimes it's really nice to annoy a friend. I can't help but think of something new to do. My phone suddenly rang. I took it and got out of the car before answering. "What?" ["Sungit... Where are you?"] It was Honey. "I guess I'm going to school." ["Whatever. Uncle said we should set another meeting. We're leaving soon."] Leaving soon? How? Why? "Wait! What's up soon?" ["Hhmm... Well. You're not talking to me so you don't know."] I washed my face with one hand. It felt like there was a change in plan. "What is it?" ["We have to leave earlier than the original plan."] No! No! Not yet. I can't leave yet. I can't leave Jay-jay yet. I haven't been able to talk to our friends properly. I haven't given up on the people who want to hurt him yet. My plan for her wasn't complete yet. I looked at their house and stood up straight when I saw her walking towards the car. It wasn't possible yet. "I'll talk to you later." I end the call without waiting for her answer. I saw Jay-jay bowing as he approached Yuri's car. He almost crawled. I slowly walked towards her. I stop just a meter away rom her. From the back of the car she stood up and tried to peek inside. Maybe spying to check something inside. She seemed to be checking if I was inside. "What are you doing?" She was stunned when she heard me speak. She clearly wasn't expecting this. "Again... What are you doing?" I ask again. She slowly turns around to ace me but her head is slightly looking down. I want her to face me. I want to see her eyes . I want to see the entirety of her even though I know the only reaction I'll see from her is anger . I miss staring at her. "None of your business." She answered. She's about to walk away but I stop her by blocking her way using my arm. She was about to pass by but I did the same. Both arms were blocking her on both sides. She was trapped and my body was just a little closer, I could claim her lips. But I wouldn't deny it. My wound was aching because of my arm being raised. I hid the pain I was feeling. She couldn't tell. "W-what?!" She asked sounds irritated while avoiding my eyes. I don't want her to avoid me. I badly want to see her eyes. I know there's an emotion inside her and I want to see it. Yes, she's angry with me but I also want to see that. I'm really getting weirder. I also don't understand why I want to see her emotions. Maybe I'm waiting to see something. "Look at me." I command but she didn't move a muscle. I release a heavy sighs. "Look.At.Me." She still didn't do anything. I smiled slightly. Her head was still hard . She really was the typeâ€"if you don't want, you don't want. I have to be persistent. "Look..." I hold her chin and force her to face me. "...At..." I look at her straight in the eye. "...Me." There it is. I saw it immediately. I saw different emotions and feelings. A mix of emotions. Anger, pain and what I was looking forâ€"longing. How I wish that was for me. That's all I wanted to know to make sure I was still mine. But this girl was just annoying. Her trip and the things she was doing were really strange. She played with her own eyes. She looked around. I don't know why she had to do such a thing. My forehead slightly creased. "What the hell." That didn't last long either. She looked hurt by her own foolishness. She just closed her eyes after touching it with her hands. "You're welcome." I said. She opened her eyes after a few seconds. She looked at me with a wicked look and looked ready to get tough with me. "Go away!" She shouts but I didn't listen. "Just go! Go away!" Profanity. My lips automatically form a smile. I feel like sometimes she really meant to curse so I could kiss her. But I know, right now that she's not doing it on purpose. "Keifer." I almost roll my eyes. But this Yuri is the other way round. He really disturbs us. "...Let's go." He said I didn't move a muscle. My eyes still looking at Jay-jay. I'm still smiling like a lunatic. I really miss being so close to her like this. If only I could always do this. If only I could always be close to her like this. I don't want to let go. I can't let her go. "Go away!" She shouts again. I slowly move closer to her. I saw her moving away and trying to avoid me but that only made me get closer to her ear. "Profanity." I whispered and kissed her neck. I was going to kiss her on the lips but that was impossible. I immediately left in front of her and got into Yuri's car. I leaned over and held my wound. It took a long time for the pain I was feeling to go away. I usually ignore this kind of pain but this one lasted a long time. I think I should be careful and it might even be the reason for my defeat. Yuri and Jay also got into the car. We were silent the entire trip. When we arrived at school, the car hadn't even parked when Jay-jay immediately got out.The person next to me just sighed. "What's your plan Keifer?" Yuri asked lifelessly. "Huh?!" "You pushed her away and now you kissed her." Shit! I should really think about what I'm going to do ï¬rst. This is so reckless. I probably won't stop someone like this from asking. "I'm just playing around." I didn't wait for any answer from him. I step out of his car and walk away. I went to the room ï¬rst. When I got there, I found Ci-N teasing Jay-jay. As expected, they were trying again. I feel sorry for this kid. It looks like he's going to have a hard time wooing Jay-jay. Maybe later I should talk to him. I'll need his help when I leaveâ€". "I don't want to! What don't you understand about the word I don't want to do?!" She suddenly shouts. We all looked at them. Ci-N looks down. I know he's about to cry but tries his best to hold it. "Okay, I'll put it aside. We'll eat later." He said in a low voice. Jay-jay looked at us so the others quickly turned away. They went back to what they were doing. Her eyes turn in my direction. My heart skips a bit when our gaze meets. Fck this heart! It's a good thing I didn't react right away. She just gave me a hard time before ï¬nally sitting down in her place. I also went back to my place. I looked at Yuri when he sat down in his seat. He gave me a weird meaningful look. It was as if he was saying that he would also know what I was hiding. I wish he wouldn't know. I don't want to involve him, maybe he'll completely ruin his family. His status in their entire clan is not what it used to be . Even if he won't admit it, I know that. I just don't want to force him to talk. Because he's like that, that's what I'm thinking too. Damn! Over time, I've been hesitant to be his friend. It seems like we're becoming the same in many ways. I release a few heavy sighs until I notice Jay-jay walking toward Edrix. They're talking that I can't hear. She even handed her phone to him but he rejected it by looking down. I don't like what's happening. It seems like I'm being cornered. Did she ï¬nd out the app on her phone? Edrix said it's unnoticeable because of its icon logo. Safe with password so it's hard to uninstall. They continue talking until Jay-jay shouts at him. She looks so pissed. Edrix on the other hand obviously don't know what to do. He even look at me as if asking for help. "Answer me! I'm starting to get angry!" She shouts. Everyone's eyes are on her again. They obviously don't like what Jay-jay is doing either. Until he punched the table in front of him. The others stood up because of the alarm. I can see Edrix's shoulders rise and fall before he ï¬nally takes Jay's cellphone. She looks a bit shocked when she notices that he can have an access on her phone without asking or her permission. Damn! Edrix don't have a fvcking choice. "OTJ101 stands for Operation Tracking Jay-jay Version 10.1." Edrix said and put down the phone. "I-I programmed that App to know the location of your phone. It uses a signal so it's easier to use than what the Police and regular people use." I saw Jay-jay's mouth slightly open. Deï¬nitely shocked. Now she knows how we're ï¬nding her. "B-bye..." He continued. "...This App is linked to another cellphone." He looked at me causing Jay-jay to turn and meet my gaze. "All your text messages and phone calls are also going into that App. So the linked phone can read your messages and hear your phone calls." I almost hissed. Now she knows that too. I admit that I read a few of her messages and conversations, especially the ones between her and Yuri. But I never listened to her conversations or call conversations with others. I only looked at call logs. Jay-jay obviously tries her best to calm down. She's really amazing. She still manages to keep her composure despite what she found out. "Whose cellphone is that linked to?" She asked that almost drained my blood. "K-to Keifer." Edrix answers Dammit! Jay-jay suddenly picked up his phone and threw it at me. I knew right away where it would hit so I just tilted my head in the other direction. I heard it hit somewhere and shatter. "You're so strong!" She's furious. "You really don't forgive me!" I remain calm with no expression. I need to be careful with my words and maybe that will just cause another mess in the room. "You're really persistent in your plan, aren't you?! Even private matters you're interfering in!" She shouts. "...Are you really that angry?!" For some reason, I enjoy watching her being mad at me. Even though she shouldn't be because she's so angry, that's still what it feels like. No wonder men are called assholes by women. Because we intend to enjoy seeing them pissed. Now I'm a class A asshole. I rolled my eyes with my own thoughts. Jay suddenly approached me . With her ï¬st clenching she's about to punch me but Yuri immediately holds her from her back. I almost stood up to try to push them away but Yuri quickly pushed Jay-jay away. I have to control myself. I can't always act for her. "Let me go!" She shouts while trying to escape. When they exit the door, everyone immediately looks at Edrix. He's looking down while massaging his nape. "You idiot, Pre!" Eren said angrily. "You did the right thing." Eman depends on him. "...what? Are we going to fool Jay-jay again? It's too late!" "What now? What if he gets hurt again? What will we use to track him?" Denzel asks. Edrix didn't react to what they said. He approached Jay's phone that was behind me. He bent down and picked up some broken pieces of the cellphone from the floor. "Let's just put his new phone." Rory suggested. "That's impossible! Of course he wouldn't let her touch his new phone if he knew there was an app like that installed without his attention." Blaster said. "We're already in a bad shot with Jay- jay." Calix commented. We almost sighed in unison. We missed that app so much. It's going to be hard to ï¬nd him again. "Jay-jay passed out!" Blaster suddenly shouted. He was standing at the door and peering outside. He immediately ran towards Jay-jay's direction. The others did the same. I badly want to follow them. But if I do that, Yuri will prove what she thinks of me. I need to be careful! I'm sorry Jay. +
