Holding Back the Memories (LTL Series #1)

Prologue

I sighed as i tap my fingers through my desk, it bores me every time this idiot talked to me tinanggal ko sa pagkakapangalumbaba ang kanang kamay at hinawi ang buhok ko.

"Ambrose can you please stop talking to me? The professor is looking at us" I said as i look at the prof.

"Com'on. Don't be shy antagal na rin nating magkakilala oh" He said as he stroaked my hair.

I looked at him with disgust and laughed with no humor in it.

"Can you hear what you saying huh?" Di makapaniwalang tanong ko.

Ambrose is my childhood friend but it turns into a disgusting relationship, i was 10 years old at that time when he confessed to me that he likes me at first i ignore it but, day by day as time passes i started to hate him his attitude is worst than i thought he is the most disgusting man i ever met he always talk dirty in my face, kahit anong gawin kong paglipat ng school hinahabol parin niya ko hanggang sa napagod na ko at hinayaan nalang siyang sirain ang araw ko sa araw araw na may pasok.

Kasalukuyan akong naglalakad ng may bumangga sakin kakatapos lang ng klase namin tumapon ang dala niyang juice dahil sa lakas ng pagbangga sakin.

"Shit!" I cursed as i see my uniform stained.

"Ano bayan!? Bat ba di ka natingin sa dinadaanan mo?!" Sigaw niya, I look at her with amusement all over my face.

"Excuse me? Ako? Di natingin sa dinaraanan?" Pahapyaw akong natawa bago binago ang expression ko sa madilim at walang mababasa.

"Ikaw itong bumangga saakin ang laki laki na ng daanan bulag ka ba? Tinapunan mo pa ko ng cheap mong juice!" I shouted.

"Bagay lang yan sayo! Brat ka kasi tse!" She shouted at me too.

Siguro sa ibang pagkakataon nasa detention room na kami at pinapangaralan pero ngayong araw wala ako sa mood at naiinis pa ko dahil sa nangyari sa uniform ko.

I just rolled my eyes on her bago ko siya tinalikuran at pumunta ng banyo, napapikit nalang ako ng mariin ng sumakit ang ulo ko.

"Fuck this life!" I said.

I went to my car and get my extra uniform lagi akong may extra dahil andaming tatanga tanga na bumabangga saakin.

They see me as a brat, selfish, and a worst one which is exactly true but i know how to use it lagi nilang sinasabi na nasaakin ang lahat ganda, pera, fame but, hindi nila alam na hindi pa yon sapat i have brothers but they are busy with their wives, naiwan ako sa bahay ng mag isa kasama sila mama at papa na puro trabaho ang inaatupag pero pinapaalala naman nila kung gaano nila ko kamahal pero still si grandma talaga ang malapit saakin, my grandma is the only one supporting and loving me lagi niya kong sinasabihan kung gano ako kahalaga sakanya. But the day tooked her, it was a wonderful monday when my grandma said her goodbye to me i was smiling that time because i know that she will be back papunta siyang abroad para asikasuhin ang ibang bagay, kakaalis lang ni lola non nang umulan ng medyo kalakasan i just shrugged my shoulders and went into my room hours passes by my mom enter my room and said those word that breaks my heart into pieces she said that the car that my grandma's with crashed due to heavy rain i passed out at that news, it took months for me to move on in that tragedy.

I wiped the tear that runs into my cheek when my cellphone rings, kasalukuyan akong nasa parke na madalas naming pasyalan ni lola pag katapos naming magsimba, sinagot ko ang tawag at nagsalita.

"Hello Tasha?" I said.

"Lauvien!" She screamed excitedly, na kailangan ko pang ilayo ang cellphone ko.

"What happened?" I asked, naguguluhan.

"Oh my god! You can't believe what i gonna say!" She screamed.

"What happened nga kasi just say it Tasha" Bored na sabi ko at tumayo.

"Okay, okay so my long time crush ask me for a fucking date and shit! I was happy to the core because he confessed to me minutes ago!" She said, tumaas ang kilay ko at inumpisahang maglakad.

"Let's talk later i just go to your house so you can explain it properly" I said.

"Okay see you. And by the way may surpresa ako sayo" She excitedly said then cut the call, napakunot ang noo ko sa huli niyang sinabi? Ano naman kaya yon?

I sighed and started to walk through my car, malapit lang naman ang bahay ni Tasha sa parke kaya di na ko mahihirapan pa, Tasha is my highschool friend she was the one broke my innocent i was home schooled kasi because of the tragedy. She taught me how to party get wild got drunk, i still remember the first disgusting time i got drunk i was dancing to the song when someone grab my waist and started to dance with me, i was so drunk at that time so i haven't enough time to see who it was but when my friends told me that it was Ambrose i just want to cut the part of my body where he hold me, i want to vomit and burst into anger, kaya hindi na ulit ako nakapunta ng bar.

Hindi ko namalayan na nasa bahay na pala ako nila Tasha i held the key and get out in my car, dire-diretso lang ang lakad ko hindi lumilingon nakatuwid ang balikat naglalakad na parang nasa isang fashion show at naka poker face para bumagay sa aura ko.

As i step in Tasha's house i see her brother's talking they stop talking and look at me curiously.

"Where's Tasha?" Diretsong tanong ko, agad namang nasagot ang tanong ko ng makitang lumabas si Tasha sa kusina at may hawak na cupcake sa kamay.

"Lauvien! Tara dito tayo sa kusina" Agad naman akong nagtungo sa direksyon niya at nagulat sa nakita.

"Leigh!?" I stilled and shock at the same time.

She laughed at my expression and hug me.

"Aw i miss you girl it's been a long time since we catch up" She said, i was still suprised.

Tatlo kaming magkakaibigan kaso kailangang humiwalay samin ni Leigh dahil kailangan siya ng pamilya niya sa ibang bansa it's been years kaya sobrang saya ko ng makita ko ulit siya.

"My god Leigh! Your so unfair hindi mo man lang sinabi sakin na uuwi ka" I screamed in frustration.

"It's surprise, may surprise bang sinasabi?" She said then rolled her eyes.

I just shook my head and look at Tasha.

"Gaga ka ito ba yong sorpresa mo?" Tanong ko at kumuha ng cupcake sa counter.

"Nagustuhan mo ba?" She said at itinaas baba ang kilay niya, i just shrugged at naalala na may i-kwe kwento pa pala si Tasha sakin.

"Tasha ano nga uli yung sasabihin mo?"

"Just forget about it" Agad kumunot ang noo ko at napatingin kay Leigh, nag face palm lang siya sakin.

Hmn i smell something wrong, minutes ago Tasha is excited to talk about it but now i don't know what happened, i sighed at ginawa ang desisyong alam kong makakapagpasaya saming tatlo alam kong matagal na rin simula ng mag bar ako kaya naisip ko na mag yaya.

I sighed again at sinabi ang katagang nagpagulat sa kanila.

"Night out?" Nakangiting sabi ko.

Sabay silang napatingin sakin, I just laughed.

"Hell yeah!?" Leigh said.

"Baka magbago isip mo eh syempre oo" nakangiting sabi naman ni Tasha.

"Gaga alam mo namang oa yan" Leigh rolled her eyes on me.

"Duh hindi ko lang talaga gustong lumapit sakin si Ambrose!" Pagtatanggol ko sa sarili ko.

They chuckled at me.

"Arte" Leigh said while grinning.

"Brat" Dagdag ni Tasha.

"Oh please!" Naiinis na sabi ko.

Lagi nila akong pinagtutulungan pagnagsama sama kaming tatlo Napailing nalang ako ng marinig ang tawa nila at natawa na rin how i miss my girls.
