Chapter-276

Letting go

Keifer's POV

"Did you give her the
phone?" I ask Percy. He looks at me while standing next to his car. He's actually about to leave but I stop him.
"Yeah, Felix told me she broke her old one." I took my phone out of my pocket. "Give me her new number." He
smiles widely before sticking out his tongue like a child. "I don't want to." "I'm not in the mood to play with
you." Sounds like a threat for him. "I ain't playing with yah!" He raps while moving his hand like a real rapper. I
sigh. I've come from death and everything but I'm still stupid. What does it have to go through to mature? Do I
have to smash my head against a rock to change? Whenever I'm serious, here he is, teasing me. Nothing has
changed. "Percy." I called him in a serious tone. "...just give me her number so I can leave." He stopped what
he was doing and looked at me. He probably sensed how
I am serious. He scratched his cheek for a moment before speaking.
"Sorry, I don't trust you. I really don't want you to get close to
Jay-jay. After what you've done to her." He said while shaking his head.
"...and then you still haven't explained the incident with Freya."
"You don't understand my situation with Jay-jay and I have nothing
to explain about Freya." I put my phone back to my pocket. "...if
you don't want to give it, fine. I can still get her number anyway."
I'm about to walk away when he called me. I turn back to him. He frowned
like a child and took out his phone.
"You're demanding, aren't you? It's annoying!" He said while typing out something in
his phone. "...it's good that I'm more handsome than you."
I don't see the connection.
I approached him while waiting for the number I was asking for.
His nostrils were still wide.
"I'm just in a bad mood."
I raised a brow. "What?"
"Please explain what happened to Freya."
Like I have a choice. I nodded shortly before he handed over his phone to
me. But I didn't see any number on his phone. It's a dialing
keypad only.
"Type your number. I'll send it to you when you give me what
I'm asking for." He said making an assurance.
I just shook my head while typing my number. It turned out
he didn't trust me either. It's a tie then. I don't trust him either.
I gave back his phone and let him do his thing. He put it in his pocket and
looked at me. He looked at you as if mocking.
Asshole.
"See you later at KingsGround." He said before getting
inside his car.
I let him leave. I just watch the back of his car. I couldn't help but
hold my fist in my hand. It's aching!
I felt like I was overreacting last night. I was so angry when Kiko
and Jay-jay met, I think I cracked the skulls of those we were facing. It was
supposed to be a warning for the other group who claim to touch Jay-jay.
Those who are trying to try to touch him.
But I'm not satisfied with beating them up. Edrix almost
laughs at me while shooting a video and taking a picture. He says I look like a
demon that will consume the human race.
Shh... I am pissed.
It's worth it because I haven't heard any answers from them yet.
They look like they're scared.
I'm back at school. Lunch break is almost over and I hope
Jay-jay has eaten well. He still doesn't want to eat with me
.
If Percy doesn't give me his number, I'll be forced
to play tricks on him. Maybe it would be better if I steal
his phone first so Edrix can put the app on it too but
he might wonder if it was stolen and then it will be returned to him.
He's definitely suspicious now and it's hard
to trust.
I was at the door of the room when I saw Yuri standing in front of
Jay-jay. My forehead creased but when I saw Jay's blouse I almost lost my
sanity.
"What the..." I said that caught Yuri's attention.
He had a worried look.
"Why is she like this?" I asked with authority.
"She's tipsy." Yuri answered quickly.
I turned back to Jay-jay. I was just as shocked when I saw
her slowly taking off her blouse. I quickly took off my polo to
cover her. Yuri did the same.
I know she's going to complain. Before she could say a thing I carry her
and put her over my shoulder.
"Stop it! Put me down!" She shouts.
Damn! Profanity.
"Keifer..." Yuri called me. "...What are you going to do?" What am
I going to do? I don't know either. I just have to get her out of here
and stop her. Whatever she's drunk, I know she can't take
it.
"I don't know!" I shouted to Yuri and released a heavy sigh. "...I just
have to stop him!"
I don't know what to do. I look at our friends who's looking at us.
Never mind!
I walked out of the room while Jay was still drinking. I quickly
left the room. I was going to put him in the car to take him somewhere
but I looked at the stairs leading to the second floor. That room!
That's possible instead of walking away.
I climbed the stairs. I can sense Yuri behind me.
"Where are you taking him?" He asked.
I didn't give him an answer. I continue walking until I reach the room at
the end of the hallway.
"Put me down! I'll throw you up!" Jay shouts again.
I took the keys from my pocket. I had a hard time getting them.
I immediately threw them at Yuri who caught them.
"Open this gaddam door!" I said in an uproar voice.
He followed me even though he didn't seem to be in his element. I immediately
went in and opened the door. I threw Jay-jay on the sofa.
"Tang'na! When are you so good at talking!" She shouts again.
Profanity.
"Calm down Jay." Yuri said that's arch my brow.
She also tried to approach Jay but he quickly threw a pillow at her.
I can't help but smirk.
I looked at my dropped polo. My eyes quickly moved
to her clothes. I swallowed. Her thing is almost showing up.
She suddenly shouts while looking at her clothes. "Why is my uniform open
?!"
"You're the oneâ€"!" I tried to explain but she throws pillow at me.
"Why are you here?! Are you planning something for me?!" She added while
pointing fingers at us.
I almost slap my face. I don't know what's going on in her mind.
Now I'm starting to think that she's drunk.
"Are you sure that she's not drunk?" I ask Yuri to make sure.
"She's not asking for a virgin to sacrifice. So, she's not drunk."
Yeah, I forgot.
She transforms into a witch when she's drunk.
That's kinda weird. There are people who break up with
their boyfriends or girlfriends when they're drunk. Some people make
jokes that are corny and repetitive. And I know someone who thinks he belongs to the anime world
before passing out and that's every time he got drunk.
I'm not saying that it's Yuri.
But Jay-jay's is even scarier. Maybe he'll just
stab us and burn us.
Jay-jay automatically lay down at the sofa. She's probably tired or sleepy.
"It's really hot." She said and covered her face with a pillow.
I turn to Yuri and hug him. "Who gave her alcohol to drink?"
"I don't know. She's acting weird when she came back after lunch."
After lunch?
She's with Percy the whole lunch time. She's the only one who can bring
alcohol here at school. She really tolerates it. Because she doesn't know
what happens to Jay-jay when he's drunk.
Not that long when she fell asleep. Maybe the alcohol was also having an effect on
her body. I felt piece for a while. I sighed to relieve
the fatigue in my body.
"Can you..." Yuri started that broke our silence. "...tell
me the real reason."
Here he goes again.
"Why?" I said as if I didn't know what he's talking about.
I'm doing this like a punch in the moon even though
Yuri knows I'm lying.
It's really hard to keep a secret from her. But I will try my best to
hide it.
"I'm not damn stupid Keifer."
Tss... You're definitely not.
"If you're not damn stupid, then what are you trying to do?
You shouldn't be happy that I've lost my way. You can get the
girl you want." I said and looked at him straight in the eye.
Yes, enjoy the moment that I'm not around. Enjoy the moment that you're
with Jay-jay. Because that's only for a while and you will never get her.
He's obviously having second thoughts. He's too proud. He
won't take advantage of the situation. He prefers a fair fight
even though I don't seem to feel it.
I reach my pocket for my cigarette. I'm not nervous so
I brought it. I don't know if I can use it right now.
"I still want to know the truth."
"What for?" I ask while handling him a cigarette but he refuses.
"Are you really serious about quitting? I thought you're just kidding." He
makes me chuckled.
I just lit my cigarette. I need to be complacent
so Yuri won't notice me anymore. He's too critical.
My slightest mistake will only increase his suspicion.
"Don't change the topic. Please answer me Keifer."
I exhaled smoke and turned away from him.
"You know the answer, why are you still asking?"
"I don't Keifer. I don't know the exact answer."
"You were there when I planned it. I thought you were in on it but
you left halfway through."
He chuckled bitterly. "Your plan. Again?" He shook his head. "That's
your reason for this shit! That's your reason for hurting Jay-jay?!"
He's starting to raise his voice. I looked at Jay-jay and noticed
his slight movement. I couldn't see his face properly
because of the pillow he was covering him with.
Is she awake?
She probably is. Is it because of the strength of Yuri's voice?
"That's the fvcking truth." I answered with a bored tone.
I had to be even more careful. Jay-
jay couldn't hear any possibility that would give him a clue.
"I'm the happiest guy in town when you stay away from Jay-jay. It feels
good to think that I have a chance with him. But when I saw
him hurt..." He continued. "...I want to punch you.
I want to blame you for everything and make you pay."
You care a lot for Jay-jay that you forget
your own pain. You're so loving that you seem to forget to love yourself.
"Why didn't you do it?" I challenged him because I
really needed a slap.
"Because I know there's something else."
"And that something is?"
"You're lying." He said that makes me stop. "...You lied to us, you lied
to Jay-jay and you lied to yourself."
So fvcking good on observation. I wanted to scold him because of
his ability.
"I lied to no one."
"I told you. I'm not damn stupid!" I heard his heavy breathing.
"...You've been holding back your plan for so long. That's why the
whole Section E has stopped. We're not numb enough to not feel it."
I finished the cigarette stick because I was feeling tense.
I could only slip a little bit more into him.
Think wisely Keifer!
"Keifer." He called my name almost begging. "...If you can't
tell Jay-jay and the whole Section E, at least tell me
."
"I don't have to tell you."
I can't tell you. I can't tell anyone.
"Damn it Keifer! You're in love with Jay-jay but you choose to hurt
her! Why?! What's the fvcking reason?!"
Because I have to! I fvcking have to! I'm sorry Jay!
"I'm not Yuri. I'm not in love with her."
Out of no where, his fist hit me straight in the face. I sat down on the floor
and quickly wiped my lips.
I almost lost my temper but then I realized that I deserve this.
"You know I know when you lie but you keep on lying
!"
"I'm not."
I'm in love with her! I am! I really do!
"If you don't feel anything for Jay-jay. Why are you so
angry when another man approaches her?"
I shook my head. I couldn't answer what he wanted to say. I chose to
stand up and walk away. But I left some words that she could
believe.
"I'm just playing around." I said and walked away.
I sighed as I left the room. I have to do this.
Jay woke up, I saw him for a moment.
I feel so weak. There's nothing I can do but hurt him to
save him. Damn this family! Damn this Watson family! Nothing matters
to those people but money. They'll use everything to get what
they want.
This is frustrating. I'm hopeless. I am Keifer Watson, I can do everything
what I want but why can't I do anything for her?
I'm fvcking useless.
I don't know who to talk to anymore. I don't know
who else to approach. I took my phone out of my pocket.
Angelo the Demon King is the only person that I know who can help me.
But the price will be high. It's not possible! He's not possible!
If I talk to Keigan, I'm sure
he'll just be practical. He'll just give me the same solution he always
says.
Get rid of Jay-jay.
Who else will I talk to?
I looked at my cellphone again when I received a message
rom an unknown number.
From: +639*********
Message: don't wait for my handsomeness. Later at
KingsGround.
It's Percy. I sighed. This one went with me. It would
be better if I went first with him. Maybe liquor can help me find
someone to talk to.
I walked away from that building. I know Yuri will take care of
Jay-jay without taking advantage of her situation. I feel jealous
thinking about them hugging. But I can't do anything if Jay-jay needs a
shoulder to cry on.
So I'll leave them alone.
I reach my car and immediately hop in. I start the engine and drive fast. I
badly want to taste some alcohol now. I need it! My tounge needs it, my
body needs it and my fvcking mind needs it.
But my heart needs Jay-jay.
When I arrived at KingsGround, I just parked the car.
I didn't care if it got stolen. I went inside and Tiger's mapping
staff greeted me.
"S-sir... We're still closed." One of them said. "Boss is still
sleeping."
"It's okay. I'm not here for him. I'm here to drink."
I didn't wait for him to say anything and went to the counter bar where
a bartender was wiping a glass.
"My usual." I said while sitting on the stool.
He quickly took a glass and poured it. He handed it to me before
going back to what he was doing. I accepted it and drank it.
After putting down the glass, I immediately took out my phone and texted Percy.
To: +639*********
Message: Don't keep me waiting. I'm here dummy!
After sending, I put the phone back in my pocket and drank the contents of the
glass again. I finished it quickly so I immediately asked for it.
I had already had six glasses when Percy arrived.
His hair was still messy as if he had been hastily combing it.
"You pay for my drink!" He shouted at me before sitting on the
stool next to me.
"Whatever."
He motioned to the bartender. "Give me something just for the handsome guy."
What the...
The bartender scratched his head. He clearly didn't know what
he was talking about.
I faced the bartender. "Give him poison."
Percy immediately turned his gaze on me.
"Okay. As long as you drink it!"
I smirked while shaking my head. I also motioned to the bartender to
give me another one.
He quickly reached for me before giving Percy another drink.
He quickly finished it before asking for another one.
We're both in silent for a while before he decided to speak.
"What happened Keifer?" He asked seriously while looking at his hand
with the glass of alcohol.
"With Freya?"
"With you, with Yuri, with Aries and with our friendship."
Our friendship?
I stopped drinking and looked at him. He was still
looking at his glass.
"You see, you'll ask me." I said and took a sip.
"There's something wrong... Wrong." He shook his head before taking a sip
rom his glass.
"Wrong? Wrong that we broke up or wrong that we were in the
same school together."
"Why are you helping Aries?"
"Shh... Didn't know you suffered from amnesia."
"I don't have amnesia!" He
finished his glass and signaled to the bartender.
"Then you shouldn't ask that stupid question about Aries." I said
sounds irritated.
He shook his head and laughed in disbelief.
"I thought you were the best in everything. Except for
being handsome, of course."
I almost rolled my eyes. He actually managed to insert that into the conversation.
"What do you want to convey?" I want him to be straight to the
point.
"You're such a gullible." He give me a deadpan look.
Whatever he's trying to say, I know it's between the four of us. It has
something to do with our past and I know it might affect Jay-jay.
