Chapter 10 - Chapter Ten: The Truth

I snatched the pie, "Don't eat expired food, idiot.."

Yuri's eyes widened, "EXPIRED?"

"Oo.." I muttered. 

"Why do you even have expired food.." Yuri groaned, "Baka."

He's hangry, seems like.. this 17-year-old, big but a baby needs food..

I went to the kitchen, but just then.

"I'm hungry, too!" A voice came in, Keifer.

Ooh, the duo is hungry. 

"Okay." I rummaged through the cupboards, no tomato, no onion.

Where the HELL is my pandesal? It's missing. Oh, that gago Ci-N! He must've eaten it..

"WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT? OPTIONS ARE LESS!" I shouted.

"Shh." Yuri came in, "Don't shout like that.. we still have Battle of the Bands to go" 

Wait? WHAT?! BATTLE OF THE BANDS! FESTIVAL! WOHOOO!

Just as I was about to fangirl about the festival, Yuri hugged me.

"You are cruel."

Excuse me?

"What? Enlighten me." I said sarcastically.

"You. Are. Cruel." AGAIN? I heard it! "You left me alone. 1 year of no hugs, no HI!, no byeee!, no sticking out tongues..?"

I know. I've been hurting. 

"Why did you leave..?"

Sh. No. This question hurts me more than anything physically could.

"My mom."

"Your mom?" I could barely hear his voice; he spoke in a forced tone.

But before I could realise, tears were flowing down my cheek. Damnit, April. You're staining his shirt. 

I tried to see his face, but him? Stubborn.

"She told me that 'I was supposed to move into the States.' Then, like.. I made a deal with her that I would live with her and Dad for a year. She accepted.. You know, she and dad are at the States, still.. she told okay, but with a condition.."

"What condition?" A voice blared through, Keifer.

He was standing in the doorway, arms crossed and eyes sharp.

"That..." I gulped, "I shouldn't tell any of you that I'm leaving.."

Their reactions were... well, it made me feel more guilty.

"Why not even a sign?" Yuri spoke, voice wobbly. He was crying.

"I don't know. Maybe my brain was too slow to comprehend that I going to stay away from YOU BOTH and Section E?" I let out a rough laugh, but it wasn't the kind I always showed.

Yuri finally broke from the hug and looked at my face.

His face was red. Tears on his cheek. I wiped it. Because, did a beautiful face and heart like this deserve this? No. Absolutely not.

I looked at his eyes, "Let's eat.. hm."

"I lost my appetite," he said, almost on the verge of breaking down completely.

"That was NOT a question, it was a command." 

He almost pouted, that childish pout damnit..

Keifer looked at me, "So.. you did it all because of your mom?"

Oo, na.. "I thought I would feel a bit different, and that I would have new experiences.." 

Pause.

"But, all I got? Was sadness and negativity."

Life was not the same without them. 

(3 AM:)

We were at the dining table, all three eating ramen. 

I yawned. "Looong day.."

"Go, sleep," Keifer said.

"But-" "No, buts", Yuri chimed in, authoritative tone strong.

"Fine." 

"Let me come with you!" Yuri said deadpan, then smirked.

THE AUDACITY!

"Slipper." I murmured and went upstairs.

I slept well, as I told everything to Yuri and Keifer. My mind has calmed.

NEXT MORNING:

I went downstairs, and no sign of Yuri or Keifer. 

"GAAAAAH," I shouted and stretched. "New day, new dream! I'm gonna go out with those two-"

Wait, TODAY IS A WEEKEND WOHO! Time to have some alone fun~

I went to the kitchen to eat, APRIL! You did NOT brush your teeth.

Who cares..? Duh. Ugh, I went to the bathroom and did the so-called morning routine.

I'm not like other girls, the videos I see on soc med? They wake up, stretching like some delicate carrot, meanwhile, I? 

I screech like I'm an animal..

Okay, POSITIVE APRIL!

I plopped on the couch; breakfast can wait. I'm tired as hell. My body hurts so much!

Ow.. It's been long, and my body doesn't take it? Meh.

What the hell.

I think I need a massage..

And I slowly started to get better! YES! 

I went to the kitchen for breakfast, and all I had to eat was NOTHING! NOOOO

I changed from my shorts to comfortable pants and took my car key.

Let's go shopping.

The shop is about to run out of goods.
