CHAPTER 11
—
"You don't look good, Dems," Kyla said, we're here in cafeteria.
"Yap, I noticed that too, her eyes looks tired," Liesandra said and lean on the couch, she sipped her coffee while looking at me.
I shook my head, "I'm fine, just a little stress," I replied to them.
"School works?" Balerie asked with her accent.
"Hmm, maybe—"
"If that's because of the school works then I should also be stress like her, we're in the same course, remember?" Piloer said.
I pursed my lips and sighed, "It's just a family problem," I uttered to them, I look at my food and eat.
"About Dysthe?" Liesandra asked and give me a knowing look.
"Everyone is talking about her, there's a rumor saying that she fail her major subject because of a man and your father... ahm," Balerie sighed and didn't continue.
"If she'll fail then it's because of a man, she'll never forsake her priorities for just male species," I said, I bit my inside cheeks and look at her.
She shook her head, "She shouldn't, by the way how is she? Is she okay? She's the main topic of the university right now," Balerie added, her voice is genuine.
"She's always okay, you know, she can handle everything if she wants,"
"Did you try to ask how does she feel?" Piloer asked while chewing her food, she covered her mouth.
"Yap, I did. A lot of times." I replied to them.
"There's a student in our class, she said that she has a proof that Dysthe has a boyfriend," Liesandra said and stare at me.
"Picture? What is it? Did you saw it?" I asked, I felt myself being so nervous, I need to turn it down before it went on any social media. My father might see it and Dysthe will be doomed.
She shook her head, "I think she's just splitting some fake news case she can't show us the picture," Lie said.
I nod and sighed in relief, "Okay," I said.
"Is the rumors true?" Kyla whispered to me, she's looking at me with her menacing eyes.
I shrugged to her, "I'll just tell you some other time," I said to her.
"You better do, I was just busy this past few weeks but I never said that I don't have time for you,"
I smiled at her, "I know that Kyla, you don't have to worry, I'm gonna tell you once we're already free,"
"Okay, I'll look forward on that," she said and turns to her food.
We're all girls in the table, Hexon and Dizen wasn't around cause their schedule doesn't meet ours. We're five in the table, all of us became close in those weeks that we spent together, it's been two weeks since we go to the mall and that's when our closeness start.
"We have to one week vacation, right? Do you have plan already?" Liesandra asked us.
"My family will go to New York, they want me to come," Kyla said.
"Me too, I'll be going out of the country," Piloer uttered.
I pursed my lips, "I still don't have a plan though," I muttered,
We look at Balerie, she shrugged, "I don't have a plan to," she said and chuckled.
Liesandra chuckled, "Same, I don't have anything to do with the one week vacation, do you want to hangout?" she asked and glanced at Balerie and me.
"I'm game," Balerie replied.
"Hey, that's unfair, we're not around," Kyla said and pout her lips to us.
"I don't want to just stay in our house, Kyla," Liesandra and shook her head, we all laughed when Lie face palm.
"I'll go too, just tell me the date so I can tell it to my parents," I said,
Piloer frowned, "I want to go with you guys, that's not fair," she said and scratch her nose.
"You'll spent your whole week in other country?" Balerie asked.
"Yap, my Auntie miss me already so I have to stay their for a while,"
We nod at her, "How about you, Kyla?" I asked.
She shrugged, "I don't know, maybe it will take three to four days but I'm sure that I still have time to spent my vacation here," she said.
"That's good," Lie uttered.
I chuckled at her, she just shook her head and chortled.
"Hmm, hey liar," Piloer said as she looks at Lie, that's her nickname to her and it's making Lie annoyed.
"Can you make some unique name and not just a liar, I felt like I'm being called one," Lie said sarcastically.
Piloer laughed, "It's cute,"
"Cute my ass, Pillow," Lie fired back.
I shook my head at them, like what I have said, we're already comfortable to each other.
After the encounter in the cafeteria, we went to class and I went home after that.
I'm lying on my phone rang, I sighed and look at it, it's Dizen.
:Hey, Zen. Why did you call?
[Hmm, you always asked me why, can't I just call you whenever I want,]
He said jokingly, I laughed at him.
:Whatever, so, why do you need, huh.
[Hmm, I'm here in Alouette's Feral Bar...]
He said, he sounds hesitant to continue.
:So? Are you asking permission to me? Stop playing, Zen.
I said and chuckled at him, he's sometimes being so naughty, we became so close, we talked a lot and I can share to him my problem, I just felt really comfortable with him.
[No... I just, fudge,]
My forehead wrinkle, he' serious, it must be important.
:What's the matter, Zen?
[Can you check your sister if she's home?]
He said, my lips parted at what he said, why? Why is he asking?
:Hmm, do you need something to her?
[No, just check it,]
:It's already quarter to ten, I'm sure she's studying in her room.
[Just do it, stand up and go to her room,]
He said, I exhaled deeply and do what he said, I knocked on Dysthe's room, "Dysthe? Are you busy?" I asked.
Second passed and no one answered, did she fell asleep already?
I sighed and put my phone on my ear.
:I think she's already sleeping, she's not answering me.
[f**k,]
:What? Are you cussing me?
I asked, I can hear his frustration, the way he breathe.
[No, Demetra. I'm sorry, I'm just annoyed cause I know you're already stress then something will... just damn,]
:What are you talking about, Zen? What's happening?
I asked confusingly, I can't actually comprehend his words, what does he mean?
[She's here... your sister, she's with Boone,]
He uttered, my mouth dropped as I heard it, what?
I put my phone down and knock on her door, "Dysthe!" I said in frustration.
Damn.
I tried to open her door but it's locked, s**t.
I have a spare key in my room so I immediately get it, when I open her room there's none, she's not here.
"What the hell, I just talked to you yesterday, Dysthe." I whispered and sat.
I hope she's being careful, I'm trying my best to cover her up, she has to do the same too.
My eyes went to the person at the door, I immediately stood up, I sighed in relief when I saw that it's just mom.
"Mommy..." I whispered as I look at her.
She smiled at me, "She's not here, again." she said.
My brow furrowed, "Again? When is the last time?"
"She sneak out every night, she left two hours ago,"
"You just let her? What if dad knows this, he'll be very mad," I uttered to her.
She shrugged at me, "I already talk to her but she's not willing to listen, her mind is already clouded by her emotions. It was too much, she was drowning at it," mommy said and sat beside me.
"You don't look like you're worried about it, mom," I said as I stared at her.
She smiled at me, "Because I know how it felt, to feel such an overwhelming feelings... and you're afraid that one day... it'll be gone, so you'll hold onto it, no matter what happens and even if the world go against you, you'll just fight for it,"
She sighed and pored at me, "Do you think she's losing her mind, right?" she asked.
I shook my head, "No, mom, I'm thinking that way. I just know that she wants to be happy and I understand, but I'm afraid that one day, she'll regret it," I said.
"Why?"
"Isn't it obvious? She's wasting all the hardship she made for all those years because of this, I'm aiming for her happiness but I don't want her to forget that she has a future to fulfil," I look at her, I hope she understand what I meant.
She held my hand, "And you'll be there guide her, she needs someone who can understand her. Who can empathize in her sorrow and sadness, but just keep it in your mind, Dems, regrets are necessary in life, cause no matter what you choose, it'll always have a 'what if' in the end," she shook her head and held my hands tightly.
"Some day, you'll ask yourself the kind of what if that will eventually lead you to something you never expect, and all you have to do is to seat around the corner and think of something you should have do cause in those times, the things you never chose... is the things that will make you bleed,"
My lips parted as I look at her, "Do you have any regret?" I asked as I look deeply in her eyes.
She shrugged as she let go of my hand, "I have a lot, but there's no room for that, you just have to be grateful cause somehow, you became happy,"
I look at her when she stood up, she lend her hand on me, "Let's go, we're invading your sister's privacy," she said as she roamed her eyes in the room.
I accepted her hand, we went outside and I locked her door so she won't think that someone barge in her room, I'll just talk to her about that.
"You're gonna sleep?" I asked to mom.
"Yes, I still have a work tomorrow,"
I nod at her and smiled, "Okay, mommy. Good night and sweet dreams," I uttered and kissed her cheeks.
"Don't wait for your sister, she'll go home at midnight,"
I look at her, "I'm going to AFB, mom. I'm gonna fetch her," I said.
My looks at me, "What? You don't have to do that, Demetra." she said.
"I need to, there's a rumor in our school that she has a picture together with the guy, if dad found this then I don't know what will happen, so I better do something," I murmured to her.
She exhaled deeply, "Okay, but text me, hmm?"
I nod at her, "Yes, mom,"
After than I went to my room to change my clothes.
I drove my car and make my way to Alouette's Feral Bar, after a long drive I stopped in the parking lot and decided to call Dizen, he's the one who saw my sister and I also want to apologize for what happened a while ago, I ended the call without even uttering any words to him.
It took a little for him to answer.
[Demetra? Hmm,]
I bit my lips and sighed.
:I'm here in the parking lot of AFB, would you fetch me here?
[What? Why are here? Are you alone?]
: Yap, I'm just alone, I just went here to pick her up.
[Just wait for me there, don't go inside without me.]
I nod at him even though he won't see it, I pursed my lips.
:Okay, I'll end this. Thank you, Zen.
"I want you stay away from my sister," I said as I look at him.
"Tell her that, don't talk to me like I'm the who wants your sister," he said coldly.
"What the f**k?" I asked as I look at him unbelievably, is he for real?
He looks at me plainly, like I'm sort of joke for talking to him.
"Do you real care for my sister?" I asked as I gritted my teeth to him.
"What do you think?" he said and smirked at me.
"f*****g asshole! Are you playing with Dysthe?" I asked frigidly.
"I'm not," he said.
I sighed in frustration, "She can't stay away from you so I'm asking you for a favor, just avoid her, just damn do it," I uttered to him as I look at him pleadingly.
"If you don't really care about my sister then stop this shits, stop playing around," I said calmly even though I really want to explode.
"Why I would do that? Just tell her to stay away from me, it's not I would chase her—"
His lips parted as I slapped him, my chest moves up and down, "f**k you, just f**k you," I said and closed my fist.
"You have the guts to tell me that? After all the things she did for you, you freaking asshole!" I exclaimed to him.
I swallowed hard but I didn't shaken, he looks at me darkly and I did the same thing, I'm mad at him, I do hate him now, I f*****g did.
He took a step forward me, "Who told you that you're allowed to slap me," he said frigidly.
"I don't need anyone's permission, what you said is just enough for me to do that," I uttered at him and send a glare.
He bit his lips and look at me intently, he took another step so I step back but he didn't let me, he held my waist and pulled to him.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I shouted at him.
I held his chest and pushed but he's too strong and manly, I look at him, he's furious as the shade of his eyes turns darker.
"No one tried to do that, hmm," he said and moved closer to me.
"Let me go," I muttered to him.
"Do you think I would do that after what you did," he said, I bit my lips as I felt the heat on his breathe to my face.
"I'm telling you one more time, let me go, you wouldn't like—"
"Don't threaten me, I don't like it when someone think that I'll follow just because they told me so," he said and pushed on the wall.
I bit my lips as he moved closer to me, "So don't command me, you're just nothing so stop demanding something," he said and look at me in the eyes.
"Then stop being an asshole so people won't command like a freaking dog!" I yelled at him.
I felt my heart hammered rapidly when the anger in his eyes intensified, damn my mouth!
"What did you just said," he asked as he put my hands above my head.
"Damn it, Boone! Let me go! You heard what I said, don't make me repeat it!" I said as I struggle on my hands, I tried to fight but it was just useless cause he's really strong.
I scoffed when he grip my jaw and kissed me! Damn s**t! f**k!
"Hmp, s-stop!" I moved my face so I can avoid his lips but he gripped my jaw tightly
I stop moving when his tongue enter my mouth, s**t, this is not good!
I pushed, "S-stop," I whispered as he moved away a little to give me some space to breathe, I exhaled deeply.
I look at him with my ire, "Who the hell do you think you— ahm," I grip his shoulder as he kissed me again.
He's kissing me roughly, I felt like my lips will bleed if he continue kissing me like this, I wearily moved my hands down as I felt my strength being outwear.
He stopped when he saw me, "Don't try to mess up with me," he said and walked out.
I closed me eyes tightly as I touched my lips, he stole my first and second for the f**k sake and especially damn! Dysthe will kill me for this!
I sighed heavily as I regain my power, I stood up properly and shook my head, I'm a Homer, who gave him the rights to play and use my sister?! He also damn kissed me and that's gross!
"Calm down, Demetra. You can fix this, your mom believes in you," I whispered to myself.
I need to do something, I have to do something so Dysthe will realize that the guy he likes is just playing her, that Boone is just fooling him.
I step out in the room and walked confidently, I'll do everything for my sister before it's too late.
"s**t," I mumbled as I saw a lot of people, they're wasted for damn sake.
I sighed before I went down, I stopped in the last step when I felt like that someone is watching me.
I roamed around and saw a guy, he's one of Boone's friend, if I can remember it right... it's Vash?
The nice guy, it's him. He smiled at me so I did the same thing, I shrugged and went down, he's in a high table.
I walked towards him, "Hi," he said as I stopped in front of him.
"Hi," I replied to him and smiled.
"I'm shock to see you here and..." his eyes scanned my body, I pursed my lips as he did that, ".... wearing that sexy dress, you look so hot," he said.
He beamed at me and his dimple come out as he did that, I shook my head and bit my lips to hide my shyness, "Thank you, ahm, you look... good," I uttered to him.
He bit his lips to hide a smile but he failed, "Damn, I'm sorry, I can't help it," he said and shook his head.
I chuckled at him, he shrugged at me, "You look so adorable, you're complimenting me but you still look so shy about it," he muttered to me.
"I'm sorry, I'm not used at—"
"I know, Demetra. You're the opposite of your twin, she's out-going while you just like to be with your friends," he said.
I pouted, "I just don't like interacting so much," I replied.
"Yap and a lot of people envy your friends because of that," he said, I chortled at him.
"Why would they envy them? It's not like I'm popular," I said to him.
"You are, you don't know that?" he asked, I shook my head.
"If it's because of my surname then I'm not considering it," I stated to him.
His lips parted as he looks at me but then it formed a smile, "Oh damn, you're really an angel, huh, " he said, I furrowed my brow to him.
"What? I'm not," I shook my head and chortled.
"Even if you deny it, the proof is so evident just by looking at your face," he said as he stared at me intently, I pursed my lips and look away.
"You're good with words, huh," I uttered to him as I watched the people dance and be wasted.
This is Dysthe new environment, her new surroundings, I just want to know what's the reason why she became addicted.
