Once We Were Real

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Pagkapasok ko naman sa bahay, dumiretsyo naman ako sa sala kung saan nadatnan ko silang lahat na nandoon. Nang makita naman nila ako ay isa isa silang napatayo sa kinauupuan nila, una namang hinanap ng mata ko si Lexus at totoo nga 'yong narinig ko kagabi na isa si Lexus sa mga nag-susuntukan kagabi. Puro pasa ang mukha niya.

Niyakap naman ako ni Mama at tinanong kung saan daw ba ako nanggaling. She already called Eria kung doon ako umuwi pero mas lalo silang nag-alala dahil hindi naman daw ako umuwi doon kagabi. Nang hanapin ko naman ang phone ko ay halos manlaki pa ang mata ko dahil hindi ako pwedeng magkamali na hindi ko hawak 'yon. Or did it just fell off?

"Why Ley? Why haven't you returning our calls?" mom asked.

Napangiwi na lang din naman ako sa tanong niya, "I lost my phone..."

"Leanne!" nagulat naman ako sa pagsigaw niya, or something na ikina-amaze niya, "did you just get hook up?" tanong pa nito.

Mas lalo namang nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya. Mabilis naman akong umiling para depensa sa pag-akusa niya sa akin. Napatingin naman ako kay papa na palapit din sa amin.

"Where were you the night, Leanne?" and when calls me on that name, I am screwed.

I bowed my head, bit my lower lip, I don't think I can handle the situation kaya mabilis naman akong nag-isip ng excuse. And I just faked my panic attack. Agad naman nila akong inasikaso, hindi na nila ako tinanong pa nang kung ano ano kundi dinala na nila kaagad ako sa kwarto at doon ako pinakalma.

"I'm sorry, Ley, we didn't mean to ask you... you're father and I just worried about you..." mom said.

I nodded, and look into my father. "Sorry din po..."

"Maybe the other time, huwag ka nang sumama kay Lexus, understand?"

"Yes, Dad..." I sighed and then he left the room, as usual, business is important for this family. Tumingin naman ako kay mama, "can I have the room alone, please?"

She nodded, and kissed my head, "if anything you needed, call us right away, okay?" I follow her until she leaves my room.

I took a deep breathe, thinking of what happened last night. I got a little memory last night and all after I passed out, I don't know what happen, then easily woke up in stranger's car. I hope nothing happened there... he's a good looking guy but I'm off limits with it.

Mayamaya lamang ay may kumatok sa pinto, when I heard Lexus voice, I pleased to come him in. Alam kong napagalitan siya ng parents namin, syempre dahil hindi niya ako kasama umuwi and then he got himself into fistfights.

"Basag ulo ka talaga eh, 'no..." ngisi ko pa.

"You couldn't resist this beauty though." He chuckles, "but that doesn't the reason, did you get to see Siney?"

"Whose Siney?" I asked.

"The ex." Sagot naman nito sa akin, "did you ever get to see her?"

Napataas naman ako ng kilay sa sinabi niya, "why? With that bitch, gusto mo pang makipagkita? She drugged me, Lexus."

"That's why I'm asking!" pasigaw na nitong sabi pero hininaan niya ulit dahil baka marinig pa sa labas. "I knew she'll get us in trouble, hindi dapat kita hinayaan."
