Chapter 4 - The Pain I've Carried for Too Long

Jay's POV:

I woke up feeling.. Happy I usually wake up annoyed, hair a mess, unhappy, but today? today felt different

I was thinking of Talking to Keifer today I wanna know what's wrong yesterday he was acting strange so I'll confront him today

I quickly got ready and went downstairs I was Late so I grabbed a sandwich kissed Tita goodbye and left in a rush Aries's car was about to move when I hopped in Apple in my mouth Sandwich in hand Hair styled beautifully but ugly

Aries: Woah! What happened to my sister? ( Guys here Jay Found out Aries is her brother, sorry I couldn't wait 😭)

Jay: Horoscope just drive

Aries: Behave you little Mosquito

Jay: Hoy Gago! We're late if your didn't realise

Aries(Muttering to himself): huli na tayo kung hindi mo napansin

(Translation: We're late if you didn't realise)

The moment I stepped foot into Section E Chaos erupted

Ci-n: JAYYYYY!!!! YOU'RE HERE CAN YOU TELL EDY TO STOP BUGGING ME

Josh: His name isn't Edy Idiot

Drew: Where did the cat even come from?

Yuri: What the hell is wrong with you Ci-n? Stop jumping on me

Ci-n: I'm not Jumping I'm Surviving this hurricane of a cat

Felix: The cat is innocent!

Ci-n: IT BIT ME THE DAY BEFORE YOU CALL THAT INNOCENT?

Josh: YOU WERE FEEDING HER UNEDABLE FOOD

Mayo: That was well deserved Kid

Ci-n: Dabidddddd! Look their bullying me😭

David who just woke up didn't even pay attention to That kid

I was laughing so hard

I love this chaos

I love Us

I love the version of Section E that never dies

But in the Chaos I saw Keifer, Drifting away.. head rested in his desk

He never Sleeps? Is he fine?

As I sat in my seat I looked at him questions coming in

Yuri must have noticed because his next words shocked me

Yuri: Leave him be Jay, Yesterday he had big problems after he woke up

Jay: What kind of problems?

Yuri: His father came back to "Show them who he is" and hit them badly so he had A bit of problems

I couldn't help but feel bad, he had his own problems yet dealt with ours, he never even asks us for anything

I was pulled away from my thoughts when the Teacher Came in

Sir Alvin: Okay Class We're going to review Now

He looked at Keifer who was asleep with bruises all over his body

Sir Alvin: WATSON!

Keifer woke up startled, he looked so cute here, Hair messy lips soft and pinkish his eyes tho.. His eyes were Red, Puffy he had a big bruise one his head

Keifer: Sorry sir..

Sir Alvin: No problem but Watson what's that on your head

Keifer held his phone and saw it he made a face that said "I don't even wanna talk about it, can I have a break?" he just sighed and Answered Sir

Keifer: Oh yeah.. I was cooking and then I got my head hit next to the stove and yeah that's it..

He was obviously lying and I think sir noticed he didn't wanna open up about it so he left it and continued teaching

the bell finally rang and everyone scrambled outside to see Yuri bringing Food from his Backpack

Keifer Just slumped up his back over his shoulder and was going to walk away when I got to him

Jay: Hey keif, do you mind if we talk?

Keifer: Sure Jay (With a smile but it didn't quite reach his eyes)

We went to the rooftop and started talking

Keifer: So jay What is it that you wanna talk about?

Jay: Tell me the truth Keifer what happened yesterday and why were you acting weird on the Island?

Keifer looked at me really looked and turned his head

Keifer: Long story I don't think you wanna hear it

Jay: Of course I do..

Keifer: Okay I'll clear it all up, so when we went back home I took a nap and woke up to screaming, when I got there I saw My Dad hitting Keiran An beating him up while Keigan sat at a Corner hugging his knees, I pushed my dad away and we ended up fighting but soon they took him out of the house and we were safe then, and about your other question.. I don't really wanna share it

not because I don't trust or hate you but I just don't like talking about it..

I felt helpless he didn't have to carry all this alone he didn't want to either but still did, Why? Ugh this Gago is really something else

Jay: You don't have to share but don't carry everything alone your still human like all of us

Keifer: Yeah thanks I'm a human who has responsibilities

That.. cut deeper than any knife..

Jay: But sometimes someone can also be happy with his responsibilities put aside right?

Keifer: Jay.. My life, it's messy ruthless painful I don't have time to be Happy I have Brothers who are waiting for me a company that's relying on me a section that needs me to guide them, Happy? I don't have time for that..

Jay: Stop carrying this alone your brother's? They need their Kuya yes but they also want him to be Happy your Company? It's Deals and talks that have an ending Your section? They rely on you to guide them but make something of yourself, your don't have to be the one holding everything together sometimes hand it over to breath

Keifer: Jay I'm not in the mood anymore

Jay: Wait where are you going?

Keifer: To be alone

Jay: Keif I'm sorry, wait

Keifer: Jay, I want to be alone right now Please..

Jay: Okay..

as I watched him go I felt guilty but I didn't know how to fix it anymore..

Keifer's POV:

I stepped into the Music Room

My Chest felt unbearably Heavy

I was tired, Exhausted, Emotionless

I didn't even Eat since I came from the Island

Why me? Aren't I also a human aren't I worthy of something

Jay's words reminded me of Something I buried, I didn't want this..

I felt terrible To how I ignored Jay

but even she.. my safe place my world

my everything sometimes didn't understand

Her words might have meant something but

It only dug deeper I felt like I couldn't breath around anyone anymore it felt as if I'm living without Oxygen

Mom.. where are you when I need you the most?

I heard the bell, that meant one thing going back to class seeing Jay after that talk

I stood up walked to class stayed in my seat staring at nothing

Soon School ended and I wasted no time Going home

I could hear The others calling me but I.. Just wanted to breath, Breath Alone

Jay's POV:

I went home after Keifer left, I could sense he wanted to be alone right now and I didn't stop him

When I reached home I went straight to my room, showered and sat on the bed I pulled out my phone and saw the Group chat Of Section E

Felix: Keifer, Why the hell did you leave so suddenly?

Yuri: Yeah man what was that?

Ci-n: Keifer!

Drew: was there Some Debt you gotta pay?

Felix: Drew shut up!

Me: D¥π1 This i£ S4¥|0S

Ci-n: Here comes Jay with her keyboard 😭

Felix: Jay do you need a new phone?

Mayo: I'll pay for her Phone Therapy ✋🏽

Kit: I'll double pay 😭

Josh : Let's all contribute

Drew: I don't have enough to pay

Yuri: F your money Drew

David: I definitely agree on Jay's Therapy #PayupforJaytohaveanewphone

Felix: Class president to the rescue #Weloveyouclasspresident

Ci-n: No more therapy we have our own translater 😁

Keifer: That's enough guys, you should start reviewing also

Ci-n: Keifer come on?

Felix: Not fun at all

David: Man you okay?

Yuri: What's with the outburst?

Mayo: I love you but this is mean ✋🏽😞

Kit: Weirddddd

Calix: Not happening My Mica needs me

Josh: My cat is hungry

Ci-n: Edy is a devil with a cute face

I just closed my phone I started thinking About Keifer and his Words "I'm A Human With Responsibilities" that's not okay for his Mental Health honestly I feel bad..

I was cut from my thoughts when a call came

Ringing: Kei-Kwanan 🔪🍪🥺💗

My emojis resemble something

🔪: I wanna Kill you

🍪: I'm hungry I need food

🥺: I feel Bad sorry

💗: I hate but love you

I'm really Crazy right?

I picked up the phone

"Hello?"

( Hey Jay)

"Hey Keif"

( I wanna tell you two things first I'm sorry for earlier second Were going on a date today no excuses if you want details then come)

I felt proud of him he never says sorry but he's a change man now

WAIT who said I'm going on a date with him?but there are details should I???

"Who said that Huh?"

(Just come na, I'll explain and you can ask what's the problem!?)

"Nothing, I'll come now Bye"

(Bye love)

L-Love?

(Yeah.. I'm making up for my mistakes and your mine so Love it is )

"Okay okay go now"

(Laughs softly, Sure sure )

"Byeeeeee"

(Bye, I love you until scientists find the end of the universe and even more)

"Crazy, just go now"

I cut the call and lay down I felt so happy I don't know why but Keifer has this Effect on me I've never knew how to say it but I

feel Happy whenever he apologizes and puts his priorities aside

He really changed and he meant it when he said he'll earn my

forgiveness I think I'm going to forgive him soon 🙊💗

As I was thinking that I slept with my uniform on, I'm really Crazy and I?
