We left the school together and went to the abandoned building, they say. There is a place like this here near our school that I don't notice every time I go in.
It is on the left side of the school.
The place is dark and smelly. The smell stinks. Broken rocks and irons were scattered.
We took out our phones to serve as our lights.
"Moonlight!"
"Andrea!"
"Andrea!"
"Moonlight!"
We called her again and again but no one answered us. I thought of just calling her again to make our search easier.
We hear the ring of a phone to our left and there also comes a little light. We approached the source of the sound and there we saw Andrea.
She was unconsciously sitting on the cold cement. Her head was down and his hands and feet were tied.
"Andrea! Andrea!" Raia and Alexa try to wake him up but she doesn't respond.
Asher touched her pulse in her neck and arm.
"She's fine." He said.
He untied Andrea's hand and feet after he feels her pulse. I sighed in relief. I'm glad that she's fine.
I put Andrea on my back and then left the place. I hope she's really fine. I hope nothing bad happens to her.
"Where are you taking that gurl? Give it back." Arrogant shout of a man who looks like an onion.
He was referring to Andrea and it seemed like he only considered it a thing. I lowered Andrea and gave it to Asher for a moment.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"It's none of your business of who we are. Give it back because we haven't tasted it yet." The damn guy that looks like an onion said.
My head quickly heated up because of what he said. They're going to do something to Andrea? They are really bunch of f*cking assholes.
"You will never taste her even in your dreams, f*ck you!" I shouted at him.
He rushed at me so I kicked him. Blake also helped me so it was easier for us to bring down these assholes.
"Be thankful because this person is kind. Getting back at people like you is not on her vocabulary. If not, you won't see the sun rise tomorrow." I said.
They were all very stiff and twisted because of the extreme pain they were feeling.
Andrea
I feel a pain in my nape when I woke up. Damn, did someone hit me in the back?
F*ck.
I slowly sat up as I gently stroked my nape. What happened? Wait, why am I here in my room? I'm at school earlier. What am I doing here?
I had a hard time washing my face because of this nausea. I felt hungry so I thought of going down. I heard my older brother talking to someone at the living room.
What are they doing here? Lexa is also here, so are Dave and Azalea.
"What are you all doing here? What's up?" I asked them.
They all approached me with a worried face
What's their problem?
"Are you okay?" Asher asked.
"Does anything hurt?" Jake asked.
"What do you feel?" ~ Andrew.
"What did they do to you?" ~ Andrello
They bombarded me with weird questions. I don't know what they are talking about. I don't understand them.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Just calm down. Asked me one by one. Don't bomb me with questions" I weaned them.
"I'm fine Ash. My nape hurts Jake. I don't feel anything aside from my nape hurts Andrew. And I don't know what they did to me because I don't remember anything that happened." I answer their questions.
What really happened and why are they worried about me? And who is Andrello referring to?
"I'm hungry so let me eat first." I told the people in front of me then went straight to the kitchen.
How many hours do I sleep? Why am I so hungry?
I put ham and cheese on the bread. I made three layers of bread and two pieces because I was really hungry.
They were all watching me so I glared at them so they took their eyes off me.
Damn them. I don't like people watching my every move especially when I'm eating.
It's so delicious!
Everything really becomes delicious when you are hungry. I approached them after I had finished my food.
"Why do you look at me like that?" I asked them angrily.
"You don't really remember?" Jake asked.
"Do you think I'll asked you if I remember anything?" I asked him in annoyance.
"You and your bad temper." Andrew said.
I have a bad temper because they asking me the obvious. Who wouldn't be irritated by that?
They told me what happened.
"I called you and then my voice faded. You seen me in the abandoned place I was seen with my hands tied and unconscious?"
They nodded at me in response.
I don’t really remember. All I remember is I went to my locker and then ...
"That's why my name hurts."
"Do you remember anything?" Andrew asked.
"Everything." My answer.
~ Flashback ~
I forgot my science book so I let my classmates know that I would only be going to my locker for a while.
"I'll just take a moment." I say goodbye to them.
"I'll come with you." Ash offered but I refused.
I exited our classroom and walked into the locker room. It isso difficult to follow science lessons without a book so you should always carry your book.
As I walked down the hallway I felt someone following me. You rarely see the student now in the hallway because it's class time. I just accelerated my walk so that I wouldn't get laye in class.
I was about to open my locker when someone suddenly hit me in the back so I lost consciousness.
When I woke up I was in an abandoned building. This place is familiar. Here I saw that my brother Andrei was beaten shut.
Damn!
My feet and hands were bound so I could not move properly.
F*ck!
I heard footsteps approaching me. I can hear the sound of the heel of a shoe.
Is that a Woman?
"You're awake."
Damn this crazy b*tch.
"Let me go." I said but she just laughed at me. "Why would I?" She asked sarcastically.
You really are a pestilence. She took an injection from her pocket and then injected it into me.
"Ahh." I groan in pain.
I suddenly felt wilt because of what she did. What did she inject at me?
"You'll be in heaven later. You'll feel heaven. Don't worry, I'll tell them to be gentle. And I'll make sure that you won't remember anything." She said.
What is this b*tch saying? I'm so weak and I can't fight with her anymore.
"This is your punishment for messing with Blaine Cuevas." She added then left.
Blaine Cuevas...
You're a damn b*tch.
Even though I was having a hard time, I tried to take my phone out of my skirt pocket. I dialed Jake's number for help.
Jake dialed speed number 5 to me because he was one of the people I hoped would help me in this situation.
After five rings he already answered the call.
"Hey Andrea, where are you?" He asked. There was a hint of concern in his voice.
"Jake, help me." I said even though I was fainting.
I force myself to speak. I was so weak and my eyelids would fall off in a few minutes.
"Help me Jake. Please."
I forced myself to speak even with difficulty.
"Where are you?" He asked from the other line.
"Aban ----" I didn't finish what I was about to say because I had lost consciousness.
~ End of Flashback ~
Jake Is this really a woman? Her punches are so strong. "You're a jerk, you're really sensual. You can see me wearing make-up even if it's not a pageant. And you're teasing you every day, aren't you still satisfied?" "When and how can I see you with make-up on, aber? You really don't want that." "At graduation." "Really? You're going to put on make-up at graduation?" I can't believe this. Of all things, make-up is the most disliked by temper tantrum. "Even if I don't want to, I'm sure Shan will force me. Tss." Only Shan can put make-up to her. "Why did you take me with your foolishness, Jake?" Crimson asked. "You didn't say anything at the teacher before, why are you telling me that now?" "I didn't say anything earlier because I knew my moaning had no destination. I'll just waste my saliva for nothing" He replied. "Yo
Andrea "HAHAHA did you see that, Andrea? She's really annoyed." Raia said laughing. These two are really crazy. They pissed Blaine off. Blaine, on the other hand, was pissed off. You can see that she is insulted on her face. Who wouldn't be offended by what these two said? "Yeah, the look in her face is really funny." Lexa said. "Crazy girls." I said. "I just don't know what will happen to you if she targeted you." I told them. The two did not scared. They still continue to laugh. I think they are crazy. No, let me rephrase it. They are really crazy. "She can't touch us. You know that we are the daughters of two big companies. She can't lay a finger on us." Lexa's confident answer. It is difficult to resist such rich people. You'll maybe died tomorrow or the other day. No one knows your destiny if you touch such rich people. "She can't fight face to face so she's kidnapping you.
Andrea Today is the pageant day. They were so excited to see me on stage rampaging. This is why I strive for practice even though it is hard I endured it for them. Now, I just saw them so happy again. It's been so long since I last saw them this happy. The smile on their faces doesn't fade. They were all excited and can't wait to see me on stage. My sacrifices and tired days aren't wasted. "Are you ready?" Mom asked me. I gave her a confident smile before answering. "I'm so ready." I answered. "Let's go!" Andrei said cheerfully. In the van we rode to school. Alexa and the other were already there when we arrived. Everything that I will use for the pageant is also ready. As I expected Shan was my make-up artist. Ladder's sister is the hairstylist. She offered to be my hairstylist so I didn't refused. Shan told her about the pageant and she offered me to be my hairstylist.
Alistair That girl is really proud of herself. She likes her personality because everyone hates it. That girl was really weird. Who would like that kind of thing? She should change it because everyone hates it. She shouldn't be proud of it. The same question has been asked to me. "My intelligence." I answered. "Why?" The judge asked. "I won't be fooled by anyone because I have it." I answered. The judges nodded. I think they are satisfied on my answer. They are now deciding the winner. I don't care if I win or not. I'll consider this as one of my experience in my high school life. This is the first time that I did this kind of thing. Modeling, reciting a saying and dancing in front of the crowd. I didn't even imagine that I'll be able to do this. And I won't do this again. This is tiring and this is just a waste of time. I will never ever do this again.&nbs
James Hindi ko alam kung bakit ayaw ni Blaine dito kay Smith eh. Mukhang mabait naman siya na medyo... medyo sira ulo. Medyo lang naman. Ayaw ko na sana na kalabanin si Smith kaso nilakihan ni Blaine 'yung bayad sa 'kin eh. Wala tuloy akong nagawa. Kailangan ko ring kumita ng pera. Nakita namin kung pa'nong tinulungan ni Smith ang isang bata. Marunong din pala 'tong ngumiti tsk. Humanap kami ng magandang tiyempo bago bumaba ng sasakyan. Kinuha ko ang dos por dos na dala ko bago bumaba. Hindi ko kaya kung gagamitan ko lang ng panyong may pampatulog si Smith. Ginawa ko na 'yun dati noong nakaraan pero nakalaban siya. Nakatalikod siya sa 'min habang sumasakay siya sa 'min kaya nagkaroon kami ng pagkakataon upang lapitan siya. Dahan dahan kaming naglakad para hindi siya makahalata. Bumwelo ako bago ihampas sa kaniya ang
Andrei "Nandito na 'ko." Sabay sabay kaming lumapit sa kaniya nung marinig namin siya. "Anak." Tawag sa kaniya ni mama saka siya niyakap. Naguguluhan siya dahil sa biglang pagyakap sa kaniya ni mama pero kahit na ganun ay niyakap din niya ito pabalik. "Bakit?" Takang tanong niya. Humiwalay sa yakap si mama saka siya pinaghahampas sa balikat. Bagay lang sa kaniya 'yun. Halos mamatay matay kami sa pag-aalala dito. "Ahh ahh ahh 'ma, sandali." Daing niya. Pilit niyang sinasangga ang mga palo ni mama pero hindi niya magawa. Nag-iingat kasi siya dahil baka masaktan niya ito. "Bata ka. Kung sa'n sa'n ka nagpupupunta. Hindi ka man lang nagpapaalam." Saad ni mama habang patuloy na hinahampas si ate. "'Ma, tama na." Inawat na ni kuya Andrew si mama kasi hindi titigil 'yan
Andrea Hindi naman makatingin sa akin ang hagdan. "Why did you lose your consciousness? Tanong ni Raia. Tingnan ko siya saglit saka ibinalik ang tingin ko kay hagdan. "Bakit nga ba Crimson?" Hindi pa rin siya makatingin sa 'kin hanggang ngayon. Nilipat sa kaniya ng nga kasama namin ang paningin nila. "I lose my control on myself, that's why. It's an accident." Sagot niya. Puro excuse na naman siya. Aigoo cham. "Aksidente nga bro. Ang tanong namin, bakit siya nawalan ng malay?" Atat na tata ng tanong ni Tristan. "I...I push her and her head bumped into the door." Napabuntong hininga nalang silang lahat. "Buti nabuhay ka pa." Ani Jake. Tahimik si Alistair sa buong oras ng break time namin. Guilty pa rin yata siya hanggang ngayon. Sabay
Andrea Pagkatapos ng klase ay nagpalit ako ng damit at dumeretso sa restaurant. Para malibang ako at hindi na mag-isip ng kung ano ano. Nagta-trabaho na din dito si James. Tinanggap niya ang alok kong trabaho sa kaniya at natutuwa sila mama dito dahil masyado daw masipag. Maging ang mga katrabaho niya ay natutuwa sa kaniya dahil may katulong na daw sila. Naglilinis din daw ito sa kusina kapag tapos na siya sa trabaho niya. All around siya. Lahat ng trabaho sa restaurant ginagawa niya pwera lang s pagluluto. Hindi naman karamihan ang customer kaya nakakapagpahinga kami kahit papaano. "Kamusta dito?" Tanong ko kay James. Magkasama kaming nakaupo sa isang bakanteng table ngayon. "Ayus, nag-eenjoy ako." Sagot niya. Salamat kung ganun. "Hindi ka nahihirapan?" "Hindi sisiw lang 'to. Mahilig ako magluto
