Chapter 7 - Teddy bear

Jay Jay's POV

I feel my whole world rock, my head was spinning. I was gripping to Xavier's hand for support.

" H...HVIS?" I asked

" Yup, this stay there for about two months and we will be leaving next week so does anyone have any questions?" Miss asked.

" Umm miss can I talk to you, in private." I asked

" Miss Mariano I don't have time whatever you need to say please say it right now." She said and for the first time I was fumbling, I didn't know what to say.

" Dear are you okay?" Miss Williams asked worried.

" Umm Miss I have something to tell you." I said and she nodded coming closer. Then I spilled out everything, from my experience at HVIS to Keifer's plan and my heartbreak 💔.

" My dear." She said and hugged me I was crying like a baby to her. Xavier patting my back, Nikki squeezing my hand.

" I don't want to go back, I don't want to remember it!" I said

Miss Williams grabbed my face and looked at me eye to eye. " Jay Jay, you can't run away from your past and if you do, it will come running after you." She said, softly

" Then what should I do?" I asked wiping my tears.

" Face it. I know you're a strong girl, you don't let anyone get under your skin so don't let them as well." Miss said.

" So do I still have to come?" I asked.

" Yes, and don't give any stupid excuses. Now go you have a lot of packing to do." She said and told move.

We scattered. Xavier had his arm around me. " Jay, you sure you're okay?" Xavier asked

" Yeah I'm okay." I said and then he pulled out a small teddybear 🧸keychain with a blue hoodie and a heart saying I love you 💕on it. From his pocket.

" What this!" I asked taking it from his hands.

" I knew you'd like it." He said.

" Like it? I love it!" I said and he chuckled.

" Even better!" He said and kissed my forehead. I clipped the keychain on to my bag. It was a cut touch.

Xavier dropped me home. " Hey Mr and Mrs Mariano!" Xavier said cheerfully.

" Ah Xavier my boy! How have you been!" Dad said loudly, he hugged Xavier and pushed me aside

" Wow! your daughter is home and you have no acknowledgement about her!" I said sulking.

" Oh my poor daughter! Jaspher look at what you did! She's sad now!" Mom said ( Reycee Mariano, Percy's biological mother. For her I'm her daughter even though I'm not her biological daughter.)

" Oh sorry! How could I forget my beautiful daughter!" Dad said came to hug me.

" There's my sistah!" Percy said while coming down the stairs.

" Percy! Your back, how was the meeting in Singapore?" I asked

" Great! There business there are willing to invest." He said

" That's great!" I said

" Oh! Xavier my brother how are you?" He said and gave him a side hug.

" Amazing as always wait I have something for you." He said and took out another teddybear🧸( without a hoodie and heart)from his pocket.

" Ahhh!! A teddy bear!" Percy squealed.

" Hey I thought I was the one who got it!" I said

" Wait you have one too?" Percy asked

" Duh, I'm his fiance." I said and showed my ring.

" And he's my brother- in-law, Ha!" He said

" Do you even understand what you're saying?" I asked.

" Nope not at all!" He said with a huge smile, honestly I don't get how is he the CEO of our business.

" Okay enough bickering, you two come and eat! You too Xavier come on!" Mom said

" Sorry Mrs Mariano, I've got to go, I have an important meeting." Xavier said.

" First of it's Mama to you, you're my son Xavier you're a part of this family now got that and second good luck on your meeting." Mama said

" Thanks Mama." He said and a smile instantly appeared on Mama's face.

" Bye, good luck and make sure to eat." I said.

" Thanks hon." He said and kissed me 💞. Then he gave a kiss on my forehead the he left.

We all settled down at the dining table with delicious food placed beautifully.

" I heard about the partnership." Percy whispered to me.

" Oh, how?" I whispered back.

" Aries." He said simply, I nodded

" I'm chosen to go to their school and see how things are." I said and Percy lost it.

" What!." He yelled and it starteled mama and papa

" Percy what happened?" Mama asked worried.

Then Percy told Mama papa about everything. ( Sorry I'm to lazy to explain it)

" WHAT!!" Papa yelled.

" Shut up! You father, son are the same, always yelling!" Mama scolded them.

" Jay Jay do you want to go?" Mama asked, I nodded.

" Then no one's stopping you." Mama said and I hugged her. Then I ran up to my room to start packing. I'm so excited to see my friends, Aries, Kuya. It'll be so long since I've seen them!

Percy's POV

Jay went upstairs practically skipping.

" Percy." Mama called

" Yes, Ma." I asked.

" Go after her, and whoever tries to even lay a finger on her, make their life hell." She said sending chills down my spine.
