Snorlax
Keifer's POV
Angelo's words are recorded in my mind. A broken record that keeps playing. My head hurts over and over again. He's alive. I have a brother who is older than me and still a boy. The inherits or my inherits are now in jeopardy. I need to ï¬nd him before he ï¬nds out about our family. I looked at Honey approaching. She was carrying the gift I wrapped or her. "Done." She said before handing me the gift. "Thanks." I said in a plot tone. I took out my cellphone and checked to see if Ervin had replied. But there's none. I just threw the phone on the coffee table. Honey sat down on the sofa opposite me. He looks at me and my phone until she notices my other phone. The one that I use to contact Jay. "New phone? What's this for?" She's about to pick it up but I grab it ï¬rst. "It's my private phone." She pouted her lips. "Does Keigan know that?" "No. Better not to tell him." "It's up to you..." She said and stood to leave. "...When you ï¬ght again, we won't defend you anymore." I just let her go. Keigan are becoming more bossy each day. And when we ï¬ght about who should be followed, the next thing is he will act different. Sometimes it takes a while but most of the time it's just a moment. It's like he's getting my stress from what's going on. Last night we received a call from one of my cousins. He asked me to celebrate my birthday Watson style and they will organize everything. I knew they had a plan so I declined. I felt like they were just sucking it in because my birthday was coming up and the day everyone would pass on my name. With each passing day, I was having more and more difficulty. It felt like I was being strangled. I gripped my phone out of frustration. Before I could even read that, I thought I'd text Jay-jay. I was going to say hello since it's St. Valentine's day. I was still smiling as I pressed send. Not that long when I received her reply. I laughed so hard when I read it. From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: Pakyu! Profanity! Keep cursing. I'm mentally listing it. At least the weight I was feeling was reduced. Jay-jay really knows how to make me feel better. How I wish I could do the same to her. I decided to go to Ci's birthday party. I brought the gift I wrapped for Honey. I put it at the passenger seat of my car. I ran normally because I had no reason to hurry. I reached Ci's condo building. It's owned by the Peraltas. Not sure though which one owns this. Maybe his brother or sister. I went down with my gift. I didn't know where the event was so I decided to go to Ci's unit. When I got there, I pressed the doorbell button. "Keifer? Hi..." It was his mother. "...come in." I did what she said. Ci-N's family was complete but I couldn't see that she was happy on her face. "Mr. Watson! Nice to see you here." His Dad greet me and offer his hand for a handshake. I accepted it and gave him a short smile. "I came here to give it personally." I handed Ci-N my gift. He smiled widely while accepting it. "Happy Birthday." I added. "Thank you! Can I open it?" Referring to the gift he was holding. I nodded shortly giving him the permission. He opened the gift while biting his lip. I looked at the open gifts on his coffee table. Most of the gifts are gadgets and shoes. Probably from his family. "What is this?" He said while reading the certiï¬cation. "Ownership? Jet plane?" His eyes widened and he shouted in joy. "It's a real jet plane ? For me?" I could see Ci's parents were surprised so they took the rest of the gift. The manual, contract and target design of his plane. They were all surprised. "Y-you're giving my son a private jet plane?" His father asked before looking at his wife. "Yes, but he can't use it now." Ci looked at the other contents of the gift. His smile never left his face, especially when he saw the toy ï¬gure of his future airplane. His name was written on its tail. "Cool! When can I get this?" "When you turn 21. You still have time to study piloting." His whole family immediately looked at me. They were clearly against what I said. "I think that's impossible. He's going to Medical School after high school." His Mother explained. "I know, but no one can fly that plane. Its voice recognition process." His brother immediately shook his head. He then left without informing any of us. Someone is pissed off. "I think I'll wait outside. Maybe my friends will come." His sister said and followed their brother. "I have a plane!" Ci-N said while playing with the toy ï¬gure. Ci's Dad faced me and looked at me seriously. "Can we talk outside?" I knew what they were going to say but I still agreed. We left Ci's unit. "You look like you need to take back your gift." He said and forced a smile. "...My son will be the most successful doctor in our family. I don't want to lose sight of what he's studying." "No worries Doctor Peralta. Piloting is just a short time away for Ci. He can still study at Medical School." He sighed. "We appreciate your gift, but please don't push my son to take piloting." "I'm not pushing him. It's up to him whether he still pilots or sells the plane." Suddenly the door of the unit opened. We both looked at each other. It was Ci-N and his Mother. "We're on the rooftop!" He shouted while raising his hands. "Stop shouting." His Mother said. His Father gave me a meaningful look before we walked to the elevator. Ci still couldn't stop smiling. Every now and then he would twitch, causing his Mother to pinch him. "Aw... Aw... It hurts." He said while scratching his back. When the elevator opened, we went out one after the other. We went through the ï¬re exit to the rooftop. As expected it was a birthday party for a 7 year old. Then they got angry because Ci was still a child. Yet they still spoiled him like a child. I saw the other mascots getting ready to wear their costumes. Most of them are males. I also saw a Snorlax. Jay-jay will deï¬nitely like you. But I don't like the idea that she will hug this Snorlax. A man is wearing a costume, what if he scares Jay-jay? I'll break his neck and bury him while still wearing that costume. "Keifer." Someone called me. It was Felix with David and Rory. I look behind them and check if everyone is here. We're almost complete. Almost. "Did you give me your gift?" Yuri asked me while offering me a drink. An orange juice drink. "Yeah." I said after accepting his offer. "I won't ask anymore. I already know what your gift is." He said and smiled. I just shrugged before looking for a seat. I saw Calix sitting alone while her girlfriend is a bit away from him. LQ? Edrix noticed my gaze so he started talking ï¬rst. "Mica already found out what we did to Jay. That's why... It looks like we're threatening a break up." "Aw..." It was Eren while holding his chest as if he's in pain. "Don't be annoying. Maybe we'll get hurt." Kit immediately stopped him and the others that were about to start. I just sat down next to Josh who was quietly observing the others. Yuri sits beside me. "Do you think Jay will come?" I heard Denzel talking to Blaster. "He's coming." He answered. "What if he doesn't." Drew interrupted their conversation so the others looked at them. "I'll pick her up then." David said that makes me look at him deadly. Grim reaper will pick you up. "And why are you picking her up?" "Because she won't come if you pick her up." He said in a matter-of-fact tone. " Burn Baby Burn..." "Roasted chicken are the best." "Where's the burn area?" They reacted one after another. There was another whistle that irritated me even more. "What makes you think she'll come with you?" It tried my best to remain calm. "Instinct." He said shortly. She turned away from us and walked away quickly. I'll let her go now but in the next few days when I see her making a move on Jay-jay, I'll break his spine. "Why did you let her?" Yuri whispered. "Right now she's the only one who can get close to Jay-jay without receiving any reprimands." I just hope Jay will really come. I only have a short time to stay here. Sooner or later we'll travel back to London. I'm just making the most of the time I'm still here and I can still see him. I'm sure I'll be busy when I get there. The others are starting to get food. I'm not in the mood to eat yet. I automatically looked at the ï¬re exit door. Please... Jay. I almost stood up when I saw it open. I hold myself immediately. I might not be able to stop myself from hugging him. But it wasn't Jay-jay who came out of the door. It's Rakki. I still haven't taken my eyes off the door. Hoping to see a very amiliar person. The door opened again and the familiar person came out. It's David and he's holding a huge Jar with a ribbon. I looked to see if anyone was following but there was none. David put down the gifts he was holding on the table then he walked closer to us. "Where's Jay?" I ask. He pointed at the Fire Exit door. "I don't want to go out." Suddenly Ci-N ran towards the Fire Exit while shouting 'Jay-jay' one after another. I didn't notice that she came towards us. "Ci-N will take care of her." Eren said while eating cake. I just hope they don't ï¬ght. I saw Rakki sit next to Mica and they chatted for a while. I had a suspicion that she and Jay were really together and David didn't pick her up. Not that long when the Fire Exit door opened again. This time, Jay-jay was with her. She immediately looked around. She must have been amazed by the Party. I saw Rakki approach and they chatted for a while. "Told yah she'll come." David boasted. I rolled my eyes. She probably didn't pick up Jay-jay. I have a strong feeling that she and Rakki came here together. That's how fast she got back. Asshole. I look back at Jay-jay who is currently talking to Rakki. Out of nowhere she stand up and shout while pointing at Snorlax. But what I didn't expect was what he did next. He hugged Snorlax. Hugging is Snorlax is okay. Snorlax hugging her back is okay. Knowing that there's a guy inside the Snorlax mascot is NOT OKAY! And it never will be! I tried to calm down. That guy is doing his job. To wear a mascot and play with the kids. With the kids....Jay-jay is not a fvcking kid and it's not part of his job! I quickly stood up and rushed towards them but Jay-jay got distracted and immediately pushed Snorlax away. I tried to follow them but because of the kids running and meeting me I had a hard time. Until they disappeared from my sight. Where the fvck are they? I'll just ï¬nd that Snorlax, I'll drop him in this building. I can't see them. Add to that the chaos of these kids. I don't think this party is for Ci-N. I was forced to go back to our table and sit down next to Yuri again. But my eyes are still searching for that Mascot. "Letting go, but here you are searching for your next victim." Yuri heard and I gave him a death glare. I went back to searching for the pokemon. Until I saw him walking and playing with the kids. "Found you! Son of a b!tch!" I said before walking toward him. I'm plotting a plan in my mind on how I will kill him. I pulled some kids to get closer. I picked them up and immediately threw them away. "Sir!" I heard from inside the mascot. "I will kill you for hugging my girlfriend!" I said and was about to throw him out of this building. "Sir, don't!" I stopped when an idea suddenly came to my mind. Jay-jay likes hugging Snorlax. I faced the mascot and forcibly pulled the thing on his head. I could see his fear of me. "Take off that costume." I ordered. " Sir?" "Take it off!" "My boss will get angry with me." He said and scratched his head. I took out my wallet and took out the money. I handed it to him and he looked at it in surprise. "Buy a new Boss that won't make you angry." I said and forced him to accept the money. He was forced to take his hand out of the costume he was wearing and accepted the money. "Are you serious, Sir?" "Just give me the costume. Then leave. I don't want to see you here anymore." He took off the costume which I immediately took and put on. He helped me and before putting on the one on his head he asked me. "Are you serious, Sir? What are you planning?" "None of your business!" He just scratched his head again before putting on the one he was holding to complete the mascot. I had a hard time walking at ï¬rst but once I got the technique I was able to move inside. It was also hot and had a strange smell but I don't care. I looked for Jay-jay but she's busy talking to the birthday boy. I didn't want to spoil the scene so I left them alone for now. Ci-N is crying and apologizing while Jay-jay is smiling genuinely. Someone is forgiven. I waited for them to ï¬nish talking until I saw Ci-N carrying his gift. But Jay-jay wasn't thereâ€". "Bulaga!" I almost jumped because of that. I looked up and she suddenly appeared and hugged me. I smiled when I recognized her. I hug her back. My Jay-jay is hugging me. She smiled while looking at me. How I miss hugging her. I feel so overwhelmed. I don't want to let go. I'm here if she always hugs me. "Sorry earlier, huh? The King of the Snakes has a bump ." She said that makes my forehead crease "...I don't understand what life is like." Are they that close to the original man who wore it and can now talk like that. It doesn't matter. What's important is that we hug now. I hugged her even tighter and it's good that she didn't surprise me. "I wish there was a real Snorlax in the world. So I could run away from that little Ulopong that's been bothering my mind and heart." That Ulopong is deï¬nitely me. It's good that there's no real Snorlax. Say whatever you want to say. As long as you hug me. Even if you insult me. I won't give a fvck! "...Never mind... I can move on from that pest too. I'll lose my feelings for him too, and I can't wait ." She said that makes me stop. Did she just say the word 'Move on'? No! It's not possible! She can't move on from me. Not now! And its never! I let go of her and looked at her. "I won't let you!" I shouted and removed the head thing. She slightly moved away from me with a wide eye. "I won't let you move on. I won't let you fall out of love. I won't allow it." She couldn't speak. I slowly took a step closer to her. "You can't do that! You can't move on and forget everything that we've done!" Instead of answering me like she always did. She suddenly ran away from me. I chase her as fast as I can but this costume is giving me trouble. She's wearing it everywhere so it's making me even more difficult. The kids also confused me so it's making me even more difficult. Until I saw Jay at the top of the inflatable slide. "We need to talk!" I shouted but she just shook her head. She was supposed to go down but she changed her mind and suddenly slid down. I thought I could stop her but because of this costume I kept falling. "Damn it! Remove this thing from me!" I tried to stand up again but I was having a hard time. Until two arms helped me stand up. It was Rory and Edrix whose laughing at me. "Are you serious Keifer?" Edrix asked with a laugh and shook his head. "Stop laughing and help me remove this thing." They helped me remove my costume. It was like I had escaped from the corral and breathed a sigh of relief. I handed Rory the Snorlax costume. "Put it away. I'll take it home." Rory just shook her head while laughing. I immediately searched for Jay-jay but she was nowhere to be found. I saw Ci-N walking while holding a balloon. "Ci. I need a place where I can talk to Jay." "I still have another unit. That's where you go through the Fire Exit." He said and gave me the room number and door code. I went back to looking for Jay- jay. I went around the rooftop. It was almost 30 minutes before I saw her. "We need to talk." I said and grabbed her hand. She didn't resist or complain so I kept walking towards the room Ci pointed out to me. She still didn't move even though we were inside the unit. I was sure. I'll tell her the truth. I won't torture ourselves anymore . "I will explain to you everyâ€"." A strong slap stopped me. Anger consumed me but I needed to control it. I couldn't do anything to hurt her again. "Is it hurt? Even though, to be fair." She said sarcastically. I took a deep breath to control my anger. "I deserve this." I said in a plot tone. She chuckled bitterly. "You know because YOU TALKING! I'M GOING TO BREAK YOU SO MUCH! I want to break your bones." I bit my lips and looked away. Maybe I pushed her to her limit. I shouldn't have made this take longer. I tried to reach her and grab her by both arms but she slapped my hand away. "Don't touch me!" "Let me explain." I said calmly. Please listen to me. "Explain what? Okay, let me hear another lie of yours." I swallowed to clear the blockage in my throat. I wanted her to listen. I wanted her to hear my explanation. "Jay..." I almost beg. "...I understand that you're mad but please listen to me." "Just please! Just explain... Because I want to understand why you're playing with me. Why you keep hurting me . Why are you here again and bothering me." She gave me a fake smile. "...Just explain. Maybe it will make me clear and be a reason for me to forget my feelings for you." NO! She can't move on. She can't forget everything just like that. I couldn't stop myself from punching the wall. I breathed heavily. There's so much pain in my chest right now. "I told you. I won't let you." "Who are you to stop me? Why? Aren't you the reason I want to forget? Then now you won't let me? YOUR FACE IS SO FAR!" She starts to cry and its giving me more pain. "...I don't want it anymore. I don't want to love you anymore." "I can't." "I don't want it anymore!" She shouts. "I can't." I repeated. "Stop it! I can't love you anymore!" " I can't." "That's enough! Don't make me suffer anymore!" Please stop! "I can't!" "Why don't you let me go?! Why?! WHY?!" "BECAUSE I CAN'T LOSE YOU!" I couldn't help but scream as tears fell from one of my eyes. It hurt me to hear that he would be gone forever. I can't. I can't. How can I continue if I lose my reason to ï¬ght. "I can't lose you. So, please... Don't move on." I pleaded. Suddenly she cried loudly. I knew she was struggling too. I didn't want this. I wanted nothing more than to make sure you were safe.
