My Turn To Cry

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Noelle's POV

I was in the middle of my sleep when I heard that my phone is ringing endlessly, I know that it is not my fvcking alarm because I forgot to set that last night, I don't want to get up and just planned to let it be but I can't go back to sleep because it keeps ringing and it made my head hurts, thats why I forced myself to get up to look for it and if I can, I want to throw it outside and just ask my brothers to buy me new one.

Gosh where is it? I said while I am here in the floor like a rug, I was checking my phone under my bed because I can't see where is it, it keeps ringing but I can't follow the noise where it came from because I am still half asleep and my mind is not functioning well, and the bad thing is, it stopped ringing, so what should I do to find that fvcking phone who disturbed my sleep.

I sat on my bed and just try to let it be and just planned to go back to sleep since it is not making a noise anymore but when my face trying to meet my pillow, that phone ringed again and I saw that it is just on my mini table beside my bed.

I just cursed to myself and reached it, I was ready to answer the call and cursed the one who is disturbing my sleep but I get up hurriedly and slide the answer call sign when I saw that it was Aunt Jade who is calling.

Aunt Jade? I said.

Hi Honey, I'm sorry if I call you this early, are you already awake?, did I disturb you? She answered, and I sensed on her voice that there's something wrong.

Of course not Auntie, but I just want to ask why? Is there something wrong with Kent? Is he drinking nonstop again? Or is he breaking something inside his room again? I asked while panicking, I hurriedly get up and go to my walk-in closet, I heard Aunt Jade sighing before answering me.

Yes Honey, I am here in front of his door for almost 30 minutes knocking endlessly and calling him but he he didn't open his door, but I know that he is inside since I can hear him, I am so worried honey but I really don't know what will I do about my son, Noelle, so please come here and help me, I can't also find the duplicate key to his room, maybe he get it from my room iha she pleaded and I heard that she tried to knocked again and called him.

Yes Auntie, I will go there immediately, I will just get dressed, but please Auntie, don't stop knocking and calling him, we don't want something bad to happen to him I said while getting any clothes that I first touched.

Sure Honey, thank you Noelle and I am sorry again for disturbing you always because of him she said, I shooked my head like she's infront of me.

No it's okay Auntie, it's a little things, and also anything for Kent, I'll hang up the call Auntie, wait for me there, it will be fast I said, she said yes and I hanged up the call, I just throwed my phone onto the couch inside my walk-in closet and run as fast as I could inside my bathroom.

After I freshen up, I didn't bother to put some makeup or even powder on my face or blow dry my hair, I just go down immediately and saw our maid since we are child downstairs dusting those big curtains.

Oh Noelle, it is just 7 am in the morning, you get up so early, where are you going? She asked while still dusting.

I'll just go to Kent's house Yaya Leony, where's my brothers anyways? Did they go to their work or school already? I asked while I am trying to check my school bag, since I planned to just went to school directly from Kent's house, since it will be hassle if I will go home first and go to school from here.

Your brother Nico already went to your company, while Nick didn't went home last night and said that he will stay at Luis' house overnight for their friend's birthday, and your twin brothers already went to school earlier since they have project to make, how about you? Are you going to school or will stay in Kent's house? Do you want to eat? I already made breakfast, you can just check in the kitchen she said, I just shooked my head as an answer to her endlessly questions.

I have a class later at 10:00 am so I will just go to school from Kent's house, and I am on diet so I don't want to eat this early, anyway, is Aljhur still there, I need him to drive for me I asked

He is not there Iha, he drives for Nate and Nale, since Nate is grounded for using the cars and your brother Nale can't also use the car since there's a chance that Nale will borrow it from him, and your parents is already at the company, so I will just call a cab for you then she said, I immediately stand and just shooked my head

How about Yaya Erly's motor bike? I will just borrow it

Ah yeah you can just borrow that, she is not using it anyway since she will wash the clothes, just get it from the garage, I will be the one to tell her, you can get the key from there also, she said and I immediately run to our garage and start to drive it.

Anyways I'm Noelle Purple Kings 19 years old, a second year college student in Burden International School, taking up Bachelor of Science in Psychology, only girl and the youngest in Kings Sibling.

Nico Blue Kings is our eldest, he is already 28 years old and he is the vice president of our main company and our Dad of course is the president.

Nick Grey Kings is the second, 26 years old and he is the one who handle our chains of resorts.

I also have twin brother, Nate Brown Kings and Nale Black Kings, they are both 21 years old, 4th year college, but they have different course, Nate is Civil Engineering while Nale is HRM since he is really good when it comes in cooking.

Once I arrived in Kent Reign Zabalde's house, I didn't bother to park the bike properly since someone will do it for me and just run as fast as I could to their third floor, and I saw Auntie Jade who seems tired from knocking outside Kent's room.

Auntie I called her, she immediately looked at me and held my hands .

Please honey kindly help me, I do have a flight to US 2 hours from now, I cannot missed it since it is important, I heard him inside and I need you since he's following you, I'm sure he will open his door if he know that it was you, please do me a favor iha, she said and I just smiled at her and lightly held also her hand.

It's okay Tita, you can go and I'll handle this, don't worry, I said, she smiled and kissed me on my cheeks.

I just watched her get her luggage and stormed out immediately, it seems like its really important since she is really panicking.

Aunt Jade is a single mother since Kent and I were first year high school, Uncle Kevin and her separated and left her and Kent for her mistress, Aunt Jade is a really kind mother to Kent but no one's taking care of their businesses beside Aunt Jade so she can't properly handle Kent since then.

Kent is really lucky that he has Auntie Jade, unlike me, I know that I have complete family but because of my parents I still feel unlucky but I just ignored it and just glad that I have four wonderful brothers who act as my good parents.

I immediately knocked on Kent's bedroom door but I didn't hear any answers from him, but instead I just heard bottles became broken everywhere.

He's drinking a lot again and it is only because of her, I am hurting because of what is happening with Kent, if there's something that I can do to make it stop, I'll do it, I don't want to see him like this, he didn't deserve this.

Please open this door Kent, it's me I said while still knocking on his door.

I saw their maid on the end of the hallway and called her.

Miss, do you know where is the spare key for Kent's room? I asked her.

Sir Kent has all the keys for his room that's why Ma'am Jade can't open it a while ago she said, I just said thank you and continue what I am doing.

What should I do to this man? It's been three months since he did this to himself, he keeps drinking, wasting himself, breaking things, bottles or any glasses inside his room. And it is all because of her, Elaine, his ex-girlfriend, he really loves her that much to the point that it made him like this when she left him. And it also really hard for me because I love him too.

The three of us, Kent, Elaine and I were friends since we are third year highschool, and luckily for their part because they fall for each other left me hanging.

It's hurt because I love him too and he knows it but ignored it because he just saw me as his long time friend or even maybe his sister only, but there's a chance that I also felt that he felt the same way to me, because since we were in preschool, we were unseparable, and when we were first year highschool that was the time when this feelings of mine for him started, I also felt that he felt the same way too but not that much as I am. And because of that, we tried to overpass our friendship but we don't have any labels, we just treat each other more than what we have and it last until we are in second year highschool. But when Elaine Daphne de Madrid transferred to our school, that was when it all changed, she's kind, really pretty and matured that Kent really likes, that is his ideal type since then that's why I am wondering some times if he really likes me since he keeps saying before that I am immature and childish.

And being stupid of me, to help Kent with Elaine, I invited Elaine to our friendship, I always forced her to eat with Kent and I during recess, I also invited her to our house if Kent was there, and I was the one who also forced her to took up Psychology in college since she wants to become a doctor, I just said that she can use Psychology as her pre-med since that was the course that Kent wants to take, I did everything for Kent's happiness and that is when everything changes.

I saw the two sometimes in the mall, cafe or some places that we used to go, bonding without me but I just ignored and act like I didn't see them, and I was not shocked when they said to me that they are already boyfriends and girlfriends, I just acted that I am happy for them and also tried to joke that they should thanked me because I was the one who match made them and they did and Kent even said sorry to me for not telling it beforehand saying that I might get hurt, he is really aware of my feelings but seems like he doesn't care about it.

That's why when they were together, I learned how to be a masochists, everyday I felt like there's a lot of swords stabbing my heart, I even have an urge to tell Kent that I am hurting but I am scared that he will tell that it is not his fault that I love him and he did not.

Everyday I ignored what I felt when I saw them being in love with each other, Elaine still treating me nicely, I don't think she knows that Kent and I have a past, sometimes I want to be mad at her because it seems like she stole Kent from me but I can't, she's really nice, she is like an angel that don't know how to get mad, she is like fragile that is like if you touch her she will break anytime that's why she needs to be well taken care of, she's really precious that you will not want to raise your voice at her because it will looks like you are the bad person, she has an angelic and innocent face that you cannot get mad of.

But why? Why did she left him without giving any reasons, they didn't even broke up. She just vanished into thin air leaving Kent wasting his life. He even learned how to drink that he didn't do before.

Because if you can see them, it seems like they will last forever, you can see the love that they have for each other, no one can make them separated even me, they really suited each other, there's a lot who envy their relationship because they are almost perfect couple as they said, and I am belong to those people.

Elle I heard him saying it.

I didn't notice that he opened his door, I can't stop myself to look at his face and his whole body like what I used to do for this three months of his agony.

He is really wasted, there's some hair that is already popping out from his face, and his hair is much longer that it was before.

He even go to school once a week or sometimes he didn't go to school at all for a whole week but that was okay since our school is theirs, it was his mom's own school.

He's already thin, he loved taking care his body, he even love to go before to gym with my brother, and now, it seems like it is a different Kent, eventhough I saw him like this everyday ever since she left him I can't still used to it.

I miss the old him, I miss the old Kent Reign. His corny jokes, his sense of humor and the way they made fun of me together with my brothers, I miss all of those.

It's all gone because of her, that's why I hate her, I hate her to death, it is all her fault.

When I felt that my tears will drop I hurriedly hug him for me to stop it.

Kent why are doing this? When will you stop? I whispered to him while stopping myself to burst into cry, and this is what I did all the time, because this is our promise when we were child, that no one should cry, and I don't want to break that childish promise that we did before because I want him to know that I treasured that promise between us.

I know that he broke it many times but I will prove to him that I can keep that promise, I will keep it forever as long as I can.

He just sighed and just pushed my lightly from him.

You're going to school? He asked coldly while staring at me. I immediately nodded my head as my answer and smiled at him.

How about you? I asked him, he just slightly nodded and entered his room again.

He didn't close his door that why I also entered it, and here comes again, broken bottles everywhere, his room is totally disaster almost everyday while there's me, tirelessly cleaning it.

When he go to his bathroom, I immediately started cleaning his room, one by one I picked up those broken bottles without worrying that I will have scars from there that I already have, I saw his laundry basket beside his walk-in closet, I hurriedly get it then put those clothes that I can see everywhere, this is almost my routine, sometimes I sleep in their guest room just to wait for Kent to open his door so that I can clean his room, because he don't want his maid to enter his room, only me that he allowed, so ending, I can be the only one who can only clean his room.

When I was done, it just took me almost 15 mins since I am really used to it, I walked beside his bed and saw their polaroid photos on his wall, it is full of picture of him and Elaine, there's a picture of me and Kent but it is at the last, at the corner and can't even see it properly because it was covered by the lights, Elaine was the one who made this for their first anniversary, and I am just the one who put our picture recently, I don't know if Kent even noticed it.

I can feel my tears at my eyes starting to form when I stared at one picture that we have together only the two of us, it is even stolen, that is when he is soundingly sleeping beside me inside our classroom unlike theirs, they look so lovely. Don't I have any worth for Kent? Did he really loves Elaine this much that he even forgot that he has a best friend?

I immediately looked away from those photos when I heard his bathroom door opening, I looked at him and saw that he is on his school uniform already while walking to his big mirror that luckily still now broken, he didn't even try to look at me.

I walked to him and get the comb from him and started combing his hair, he didn't bulge and just let me from what I am doing.

It's good that you shave, you look more handsome like this Kent I said while touching his face, he just grabbed my hand and took it away from his face

Elaine doesn't want me to have a hair in my face he answered

I stopped and just looked at him, I can feel that my throat was dried for stopping myself to cry infront of him, I know that he noticed it but he just looked away from me and leave me.

Fix yourself Elle, I want to go to school early he said and stormed out from his room.

I can feel my whole body shaking when I sit on his bed, I want to cry my heart out but I can't, it seems like I was already numb from all of this. My heart is aching so much that I want to just get it inside my chest and throw and stomp on it.

I spend five minutes inside his room just making myself calm down from what is happening, and go down to their living room.

I saw Kent on his phone, playing something on it, I can't stop myself admire him while walking to him, he is near yet so far, I can't reach him even though we are always together.

There's a lot of guys that wants me but I only want him.

But why can't he see me as more than friends?

I want to ask it all from him but I am scared that he will just answered that because because he loves her, he can't see me because I am not Elaine, he can't love me because I am not her and there's no chance that he will love me unless I am her.

It's always her.

He noticed me that's why he just stood up and walked through the backdoor, that's where their big garage is, he just picked random car key from their keys drawer, I just followed him.

When we were on their garage, we just walked to the car that made a noise when he clicked on the key on his hand, I didn't wait for him to open my door and just settled myself inside beside him.

Once he started driving his car, I started also talking and talking about what we did before when there's no Elaine in our life, the time when I felt that we have something between us, even the sweet moments that we shared, but it seems like I was talking to the wall, he didn't even response that's why I just stopped myself and entertained myself to those big billboards outside.

Once we arrived in our school, I immediately hold Kent's hand so that he will go to our room for our first subject, because some times he will go to school but not in our room, he will just go to some places that is quiet and will just cry quietly, I know because most of the time when he went to school I will just sticked beside him or will quietly followed him.

I didn't just mind those eyes who staring at us while we were walking together holding our hands, I know that they are still wondering about Elaine, because in those three months, no one knows what's really happened and where is she.
