Darlene's Point of View
I wipe my tears when I get out of the house. I hate my sister. I hate Frederick. I feel like everyone always cheats me. I feel like no one ever chooses me. I feel like I'm so lonely.
I grow up feeling jealous with my sister Joylene. Our parents always praises her, she's always right in their eyes. Joylene is their favorite while me? No matter how hard I tried to please them, I never felt that they appreciate me.
One day, our Father died. One week after my father's burial, my mother died too.
There, I saw how good Joylene is. She always prioritize me and sacrifice her fancies for me. I thought that I have her and she's on my side. I thought that she would fulfill her promise to our parents that she will protect and make me happy until our last breath. I thought that finally, someone chooses me and it is Joylene.
But now? The time run so fast. I fell in love with a boy which chooses my sister too. And my sister chooses Frederick over my happiness too.
Why? What's wrong with me? Why do everyone always chooses my sister over me? What does she have that I don't have?
Joylene took everything from me since I was born. I thought that she would help me to have Frederick. But in the end, she just take him from me too.
I hate her so much. The world is so unfair. I have nothing but myself. I'm alone!
I only bring my cellphone and wallet. Bellas is the nearest casino and I go there to gamble my 10,000 pesos.
I already win and got all their money in playing cards. Then, a guy come near to me.
"I lose 500,000 pesos to you. You're so good in playing cards and maybe your also good in playing on bed hehehe," the guy said and I kicked his a*s.
"You got the wrong girl dude," I said and stand up. I'm about to get all the money that I won when the guy hold my hand.
I slap his face and spit on him.
Then, 5 men encircled me.
"Want a fight? I will give you what you want," I said and knocked down the 5 men in just a blink.
At last, I found someone to give some of my anger.
Everyone looked and get their cellphones so I immediately wear my glasses and hat. They took pictures of me but I don't care.
I look at the guy and he look so scared. I show him my red blood eyes and he shouted.
"A monster. She's a monster," the guy said and run away. The people around also fled and go out of the casino when he shouted that I'm a monster.
"I'm not a Monster," I shouted at them. "I am a Demon," I whispered.
Then, I found a bag and I put all the money inside. I saw a fire from one of the couch and it immediately spread because of the alcoholic drinks that scattered around. The fire maybe caused by a cigarette or whatever. I run away immediately when I saw it.
I look for a taxi and go to an open mall. It's already 9:00 pm and luckily they are closing at 10:00 pm.
I buy some cloths, foods from Jollibee and other necessities. Then, I look for a cheap hotel.
I took a bath and get the food that I bought lately. I turn on the TV and eat my dinner.
I change and change the channel but they are showing the same thing. Reporting the fire on the Bellas Casino and my blurred face.
F*ck! They are saying that I'm a monster and I burned the Casino. How pathetic.
This world is really full of judgemental people.
I turned off the TV and put my eating stuffs on the trash can.
I lay down and get my phone. I found my bullsh*t sister's miss calls. After everything, she still have a guts to give me 29 missed calls? Tsss.
I throw my phone on the table and I'm about to turn off the light when someone knocked on my door.
I thought that it was one of the hotels personnel but when I opened the door.
"What are you doing here?" I angrily asked my sister but she just pulled me inside. Then, she closed the door.
"What have you've done? Why did you burn the Casino?" she asked me.
"I burned nothing. Now, go out of my room," I told her but she just smirked.
"You burned nothing? Then what happened to the casino huh?" she asked me again.
"Since when did I lie? You're only like them. Judgemental!" I shouted on her and she seemed to realize what she's doing.
"Now you can't speak?" I asked her. My tears wanna flow right now but I stopped it. "You're the liar, not me. You choose others over me. Now get out and don't wait my hand to do something wrong on you," I said angrily.
"I'm so sorry," she said. "I'm just worried about you, I'm sorry," she added and hold my hands.
"Get off your hands from me," I said and pushed her. "You believe what others say but now you are telling me that you are worried?" I asked her. "Stop pretending Miss Detective, you better go to the crime seen. Not here," I shouted.
"No, no! I believe in you. I'm just asking to know the truth and I believe on what you said," Joylene replied.
"I thought you know me better than anyone. If you really know me, then you don't have to ask me anymore. I thought you will protect me? I thought you will defend me from others judgement? You're just the same with them," I said to my feeling holy sister. "Get out!" I shouted.
"Took toook toook!" Someone knocked at the door and I immediately opened it.
"Are you alright? I heard someone shouting from here," the guy asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry for the noise," I replied.
"It's alright, who are you talking with in there?" He asked again.
"It's just my sister. Just having a little quarrel. I'm going inside now," I said and immediately close the door.
I saw that his shock with my attitude and was about to say something but I don't care anymore. I hate someone entering my own problems. Can't they just don't enter other's life?
When I look back, Joylene is not there anymore. Well, it's better that she's gone. Such a disturbance.
