Some Tears Must Fall (Rain On Me Series #1)

01

I opened my eyes as I heard someone's knocking to my door and calling my name. Napaupo ako sa kama saka napahawak sa ulo ko. Headache again, dapat hindi na 'ko sumama sa birthday party ni Gwen kagabi.

Kinusot ko ang mga mata ko at nag-unat ng braso. Tinignan ko ang orasan na nakapatong sa night stand ko. It's eight thirty in the morning, ang aga palang ah. Ba't na nila 'ko ginigising.

"Ma'am Alyson, gumising na po kayo." she knocked at my door, again. "Nasa baba na po sila Doc. Marge, kumakain na sila."

Napabangon agad ako sa kama ko nang marinig ko ang pangalan ni mommy. Akala ko bukas pa ang uwi nila.

Dali dali akong nagpalit ng damit at bumaba ng hagdan. Binati ako ng mga katulong, tinanguan ko lang sila sa sobrang pagmamadali. Dumiretso na ako sa dining table, kumpleto na sila at tahimik na kumakain.

"Good Morning, Alexandra," Dad greeted without looking at me. He's busy typing on his phone, as usual.

"Morning," maikling sagot ko at umupo na. I sat beside my twin brother Gray, who's cutting his steak.

Our maid took some steak and put it on my plate, she also poured water into a glass beside my plate.

"Class started tomorrow, right?" Mom started the conversation. She turned her gaze at me and Gray. We just nod as our answer dahil alam na namin ang susunod na mangyayari. "Ayokong mababalitaan na bumaba ang grades n'yo, lalo ka na Gray, understood?" She still not leaving her eyes to my twin brother, waiting for him to answer.

"Yes, I'll try my best—" Mom cut him off.

"You mean, you will do your best. Am I right, Grayson?" Mom corrected him.

"Yeah," maikling sagot ni Gray, pinagpatuloy na ang pagkain.

"How about you Jaxson?" She asked my older brother, who's sitting in front of mine.

"Wala pang sinasabing date kung kailan 'yung start nung sa'min." he adjusted his eye glasses first before he continue. "But don't worry about me mom, mataas parin ang grades ko."

"Good to hear," mom smiled a bit.

"Good to hear," Gray mocked in a low voice.

"I need to go," My dad stood up, he put his phone inside of his pocket. Lumingon pa siya sa 'kin at tumango. "Alexandra, good luck for tomorrow." He's always like that kasi ako 'yung favorite niya sa'ming tatlo.

Tinanguan ko lang din siya. Tapos na 'kong kumain so pinunasan ko na 'yung bibig ko.

"Where are you going?" Mom raised her brows. Napalingon naman kaming lahat kay mom, including dad.

"Somewhere." he shook his head, mukhang 'di pa sure si dad sa sagot niya.

"Somewhere?" Mom asked, curiously. Hindi siya pinansin ni dad, nagpatuloy na siya sa paglakad. "I said where are you going, Graeme, to your ex? Answer me."

"Stop it, Margarette." Dad stopped from walking and gave her a cold glare. "Baka kung ano pa 'yung isipin nung mga bata, mahiya ka naman."

"Ikaw 'yung mahiya." inis na binaba ni mom 'yung wine glass niya. Si dad naman hindi na nagpatinag, hindi na pinansin 'yung sinabi ni mommy. "Hindi pa 'ko tapos, come back here!" Mom voice echoed around the mansion because of her loud voice.

Hindi na lumingon si dad. Tahimik lang kaming tatlo, walang naglakas ng loob na mag-salita.

"Tss." tumayo na si Jax at dumiretso sa kwarto niya.

Nag-angat ng tingin sa'min dalawa si mommy kaya nagsisipaan kami ni Gray. Samin nanaman niya ibubuntong ang galit niya.

"After this. You two will go back to your rooms to study." She seriously looked at us before she stood up and went upstairs.
