Third Person's PoV.

"Do I have to repeat this for you, son?" Chandria warned her son for coming outside of their mansion but 'oh so secured mansion'.  She walks inside on her son's dusky room while she is scanning the room and pause for a minute at the widely open window.

"I am sorry for disobeying you, mom. I promise I won't do it again." Said Grayson and close the window of his big ambiguous room, making his room darker so his mom switch on the lights. "I understood why I should stay in this damn boring house, but I'm old enough to take care of myself. Besides, I don't wear fancy or some kind of a formal clothes, they will not recognize me wearing a pullover whatever kind of a hoodie—" Chandria cut off her son and sat beside him.

"Are you saying I am over protected?—" Chandria asked her son but he abruptly cut her mom's words too.

"Sorta?—" Grayson shrugged and Chandria continues her words to him.

Then Grayson monotonous looked at Chandria with no expression.

"Because I don't wanna lose you too."

"And we still need to find my brother *sighed* I'm so sick of being alone in here doing nothing."

"You'll meet him soon—you will, son. I already know where he is, but I still need to wait for their next move and get my chance to avenge them." Grayson looked at his mom with a mixed confuse and curious emotion at the same time.

"Wait, you know where he is?"

"Yes—"

"Why didn't you talk to him? or bring him with you so we don't have to look for him and I will never be alone anymore—"

"Okay, calm down. What's with the series of questions?" After Grayson asked her mom, Chandria, a tons of question, he excessively waits for her mom to answer all that question but end up dropping all his hopes for waiting and not wanting to continue what he about to ask again.

"Really? After all that seccessively questions, that's all you are going to say?" Grayson said and let out a heavy sigh, lowering his head.

"Oh love, I am very sorry for not answering your questions. But little did you know that I have not seen him nor meet him in personal. I just knew where he is, along with the bracer of your dad, they still live in that old rusty house. And, it is not easy to just talk to him and bring him with me."

Chandria is confuse by Grayson's sudden vibrant of mood.

"Well, can you at least tell me where he live?" Chandria's face changed suddenly, because of Grayson's sudden question. 

But instead of telling it immediately to Grayson, she wants to see if Grayson will ask about his brother or he will tend to give up.

"And why do you want to know?"

"For a resea—project research purposes only." Said Grayson emphasizing his words.

"Well I don't think you will need them."

"What? Why not? This is a school project, mom! They are asking me if I have a sibling/s."

"Then just write, you're the only child. They will not ask about it, aren't they?"

"I have a brother, and I want to include him in my family tree." Grayson pouts then Chandria move her gaze at his son and she thinks his son is cute for pouting like a baby.

"Son, you don't have to put him in a family tree. We both know he is part of our family but we can't just abruptly reveal him as your brother."

"Hmm, alright I understand."

"Great no more quest—" Chandria thought that Grayson would not ask anymore but then Grayson cuts off Chandria's words again.

"So where do my brother live? Isn't part of this place? Does he live in a big mansion? Does her stepmom treat him nice?" Grayson's coercion along with a series of question, he also tried to search the location where his brother live and shown it to his mother.

Chandria laugh at Grayson because of his sudden coercion about his brother.

"I vaguely remember your series of questions, son." Chandria willingly smiles at Grayson who is pouting right now. "You know what? Let's just plan for it together, deal?"

"Really?! Sounds great, mom!" Grayson exclaim with an excitement and abruptly hugged her mom, and Chandria hugs Grayson back.

Cameron's PoV.

I don't know how am I supposed to tell them what I heard that time.

--flashback--

As I went down stairs, I've seen her mom sitting at the couch talking to someone on the phone.

I know it's rude to listen or heard one of their conversation but it's pretty interesting, and to be honest, it's about business or something. W-what?—

"Don't worry Karen, I got this."

Tita Karen? Riggs' stepmom is talking to the other line of the call which is Wenzyl's mom.. they're not into something or what, are they?

And what the heck? Why am I even interested on what they're talking? Hays—I better get going—

"I have better plan for my son, Karen. Why don't we just arrange a marriage for your daughter Wenzyl and for my son Chandler?—great idea!—so it's a yes indeed!—"

Did I just freaking heard something wrong? Arrange marriage? Seryoso? This is so bullsh*t. They can't just decide on their own! Besides, their child is just a senior-highschool students-- and for freakin' sake! They don't even know each other well and don't even love each other--agh! You've got to be kidding me, these mothers are insane as crap.

As I pass by this crazy stepmom of Riggs, I just straightly walked out but that caught her attention and exclaim for my name but I didn't mind turning my head to her.

I drove my car as fast, and arrived at my house and then hurriedly went up stairs and throw myself to bed.

I can't freaking spill a single word of what I've heard earlier, and  all I can do is to overthink and this stupid thoughts are running through my mind.

Should I tell Riggs about it? Or talk to Wenzyl about it? What?!

"Arghsh!" I exclaim emphasize on the word, and I mussed my hair because of annoyance.

I just can't help—but to cry a lot long this night until I fell asleep-- as freaking always, after I let out all of my tears.

--End of Flash Back--

It's really bothering m—a lot. And I don't know if Wenzyl already know that her mother is planning to arrange marriage her with Riggs, and for fvcking sake—Riggs, weren't even aware.

I let out a really heavy sigh and massage my forehead, leaning on my chair.

"Why can't I even manage to spill this crap so that It wouldn't bother me anymore? *sigh*."  Kalmado ko munang sabi at tsaka ko hinilamos yung palad ko sa mukha ko. Kailangan ko munang mapag-isa nang makapag-isip isip man lang ako ng maayos at kung papaano ko masasabi kay Riggs yung totoo. Bahala na rin kung kakausapin ko man ulit si Wenzyl tungkol sa—

"Spill what?" Oh, shit Riggs.

"Pft."

"Someone's bothering you?"

Oh, they are all here.

"Is there something you need to talk about?"

Now how am I suppose to tell these assholes about it.

"What are you guys doing in here, at Sunday?" Really, that's the first dumb thing that came out of my mind.

Ofcourse they'll be here, it's our secret hide out and it's weekend, great.

"Dude, we all own this place." Can he not just pretend he's attending church when it's Sunday?

Napaghahalataan na hindi nagsisimba 'tong Cadey bugok na 'to tuwing linggo.

"Ha, right, I know I know—" Scratching my nape because I'm dumb.

"We are trying to reach you but I think you turned off your phone."

"Pft, ofcourse he needs to think straight about something. That's why he came here alone." Wow, Bandit, you smart asshole knew that would be me?

"Not even surprised." Said the voice of Tez, leaning on the corner of the wall, while he crosses his arms.

These assholes really know me well.

"Spill it." Said Riggs and they went forward to sit with me.

Now it's a tense situation I'm at, especially it's about Riggs.

"Damn it, so when do I start.. ah crap—"

"Is it really hard to tell? When it's bothering you that much, you should have tell us about it earlier--"

"It's about arrange marriage! I—I uh—"

"What?"

"Arrange marriage?" Minsan lang magulat 'tong si Tez, kahit hindi naman about sakanya tss.

"What are you talking about?" Wow, Bandit is confused.

"Dude. Are you gay?"

What the actual fvck situation am I at? I'm not a freaking gay, that Cadey gay is a dead meat for calling me gay.

"Spill what ever the fvck it is." Said Riggs and it's so clear that he is clenching his jaw, feeling irritated.

We both can't calm our asses. Crap the tense atmosphere they are giving me, I felt so anxious, while Riggs' is just curious waiting for me to tell them about the stupid arrange marriage.

What will he say and what will he do if he know he's in arrange marriage with Wenzyl.

"Alright—it's about you and... W-wenzyl—"

"Oh for fvcking sake."

"I know." A plain reply, speechless about his reaction. "It hurts—a lot."

Riggs stared at me monotonously, and they all just stared.

I know he will going to plan for something, I mean, I hope he will. I can't just watch them do the things that their parents tell them what to do when they don't really want to do it.

"What will you do about it, Riggs?" Tez asked breaking the silence.

"It's so ridiculous, right? Fvcking telling us what to do." That brittle cursed are emphasize.

I can't even say anything or suggest something about it, but just wait for his next words but I waited for nothing. All I can hear is his just breathing heavily and he is quite thinking about it.

"I'am going." He just said and abruptly stand up, it quickly gives us an alarm so we followed him, but I'd try to reach his arm but he just swayed his left arm and turned his head to me, sharply eyeing me. "Don't." Okay okay I won't touch you.

We hop on to our own car and perhaps Cadey and Bandit.. as always they did not bring their own car with them. I have the Cadey gay with me so I can quickly kill him later, and Tez is with Bandit.

We split up onto two person at two car to follow Riggs, just in case one car have lost him and others will continue to follow him. I guess he is just driving to one place but we don't know what exact place it is.

"Where the fvck he is going? That asshole." I said almost whispering, I am side looking at this gay who is just sitting calm holding his phone just on his own world. "For freaking sake stop stalking Hayes on her social media accounts."

Cadey is startled by my sudden words and I glared at him again waiting for him to do something at this situation.

"*Sigh* If you still want to live and be with that girl, fvcking do your thing. Contact Riggs and search where he is going, you stupid gay. Hayes is not the type of girl who would date a gay not paying so much attention--"

"Alright, alright mate, walang personalan! Sabi ko nga ito na eh!" He said while still dialing Riggs' contact number. "Naka ilang missed call na nga ako sakanya eh, tsk! tsk! Kaya walang babaeng humihingi ng number nito ni Riggs eh--"

"Mas makapal pa mukha mo sa mga librong makakapal sa library." I saw Cadey on my peripheral vision, checking his face on his front camera. "Tss. Na contact mo na ba si Riggs?"

"Wait let me try reaching out to Tez and Bandit." Marunong naman pala mag-isip ng ibang paraan eh. [Hello pre--]

[Riggs is going to Wenzyl's place.]

--Call Ended--

"Aba amputs!--"

"What's on his damn mind, Wenzyl's parents is at home. Aish!" I shouted and hit the steering wheel with my palm.

I am hella serious at this moment but I can't stand not to laugh at Cadey startled by me so I just playfully smirk and drove as fast as I can to Wenzyl's house.

What will Riggs do if he reach Wenzyl's place? Will he look for Wenzyl's parents? or exclaim at Wenzyl's face about the arrange marriage-- woah what the fvck, will he do that?

Wenzyl will be startle by Riggs because Wenzyl don't know about it yet.

"I know you're in there!"

"Woah! Riggs pound at the gate. What the hell..? He's the type of neighbor that wouldn't let you live at peace and he is road to destroy the freaking gate, woah!"

"Can you not shut the fvck up and get the shit outta my car and help Bandit and Tez?"

"Luh tapos ikaw dito lang?--" I glared at his stupidness mindset. "Sabi ko nga aawatin ko na si Riggs eh."

"Don't make me wait here and call out for your damn name or else I'll destroy your fvcking gate!"

Why aren't any people coming out their house? And Wenzyl is not answering her phone, wait-- it's her.

When Wenzyl get out of her house walking towards to the gate, kalmadong umatras si Riggs palayo para mabuksan ni Wenzyl yung gate pero pabalang na kumawala si Riggs sa pagkakahawak sakanya nila Tez, Bandit, at Cadey, kaya napa atras din sila.

"What do you want and what are you trying to do!?--"

"Wenzyl!" I shouted then run to her and they all looked at me.

"Cameron? What's going on?" Wow, she held my arm when I reached her.

"Explain yourself!" Riggs shouted and strides forward so I block Riggs with his sudden move. Kaya ikinagulat rin ni Wenzyl na sobrang lapit ko na sakanya.

"Excuse you!?" She's brave but not that showy. Talagang umabante pa siya para lang sabihin 'yon kay Riggs.

Paano ko ba sila papakalmahin? Parang away ng mag jowa eh, shit masakit para sa'kin 'yon, ako ex tapos ako pa taga awat.

"Hey, calm down." Pagpapakalma ko sakanya kaya nagulat na lang siya sa sinabi ko, pataasan ba 'to ng pride?

"What? Can you explain what is going on in here?" She said, gesturing her hands at this situation.

"Okay, i-it's about--"

"Get the fvck out of the way, Monagham!"

"What's wrong with you!?" Ayan nanaman. Parang kaya niya ata makipag suntukan, sugod ng sugod eh malakas kalaban.

"Hey! hey-- hey."

"What's wrong with me? Why don't you ask your parents what's wrong with them!"

"Hey, Riggs, calm down." Awat naman ngayon ni Tez, pero sinamaan lang ni Riggs ng tingin si Tez.

"Do not order me to calm down, get out of the way!" Riggs pushed me and he straightly went for Wenzyl. "Don't tell me you don't know what's going on in here?  Wag ka mag tanga tangahan--"

"Sumosobra ka na, Riggs!" Hindi ko na mapigilang kumalma sa ganitong sitwasyon, kaya ko nasapak sa mukha si Riggs pero agad naman niya akong nabalikan ng sapak.

Todo awat naman 'tong mga bugok na 'to, tss.

"Ano bang nangyayari? At bakit nagkakaganyan kayo?!"

"What the fvck? You really don't know?" Said Riggs while wiping the blood in his mouth with the back of his hand then Wenzyl stared at him confused.

"Know what?"

"Well, are your parents home?" Napatingin kaming lahat kay Riggs na ang straight forward mag salita kaya napa atras bigla si Wenzyl ng isang hakbang. "You're not my type."

Ilang minuto na kaming naka upo dito sa may sala nila Wenzyl, tahimik, walang nag sasalita at nagkakatitigan lang.

Hey, It's really damn awkward when you had a recent fight, especially when you had a misunderstanding, rather, fought with your close friend.

"You're the one who should discuss that goddamn arrange marriage." Diretsang sabi sa'kin ni Riggs habang gano'n pa rin yung titig niya sa'kin nung nag kasakitan kami kanina, pre ang talas ng tingin mo, pft oo na malakas ka na, tss.

"Please, please explain it before my parents comes home." Said Wenzyl without looking at any of us, she's just staring outside, checking if her parents will be here soon.

She's the only girl in here and it's really making it more awkward and uncomfortable at the same time.

Damn what if her parents comes home too soon? And finds out we're here and she's the only girl in here with us and we're inside her house without her parents and damn what the heck was that.

Tanghali pa naman ngayon, kadalasan maaga sila nag papa book ng flight kapag uuwi, ah shit here we go again. I don't want to face them too soon, okay, okay I'll calm myself first and start explaining of what I heard that time.

"No shit dude they are so insane." Tez.

"What's the shit is going on with their brains, I think mas malala pa sila sa'tin mag-isip ng kagaguhan." Tignan mo 'tong bugok na Cadey na 'to, pinag kumpara pa yung magulang sa sarili niyang katarantaduhan, tss.

"Bruh, it's just you." Bandit.

"What are you going to do?" Wenzyl straightly asked Riggs, oh no.

"Why are you asking me? Ask yourself, I have better plans." Dang that's my ex you are talking to.

"Then.. What are your plans?"

"Think about yours, why do you want to know mine?" What the fvck is wrong with him?

"Gosh he is so rude." Wenzyl whispered. I can't help but smirk, what's this feeling.

hays, gawain niya talagang bumulong bulong yung tipong 'di niya kayang isarili yung nararamdaman niya kaya kahit hindi na marinig ng lahat, ibubulong na lang niya, pft.

"Riggs, you both have to plan for that arrange marriage because you're both involve in this." I said without looking at him, but to Wenzyl who is currently looking at me. "Missed staring at me, huh?" I whispered to her and she rolled her eyes on me and she is just near me.

I mean she is in the middle of a two long couch and she's sitting at the single couch while me and Bandit are in this long couch and in front of me, which is the other long couch, Riggs is sitting with Cadey.

"You wish." Aba. "So what's THE plan?"

"The plan is to ignore their order. Simple as that."

"What? Do you think ignoring them is simple as that? What the heck is wrong with this guy." Halatang pag napilit yung kasal nila, puro away ang ganap, oh shit.

"Why? Have you never made the wrong decision all your life? Scared of disobeying them? Tss."

"You'll never know." Sarcastic na pagkasabi ni Wenzyl at tsaka natawa na lang at sumeryoso ulit. "So, that's it. You may now all leave." She stood up and turn around, no.. you are crying aren't you?

I look at Riggs and he's just rolling his damn eyes and is leaving already. You lil shit don't have real feelings.

I went for Wenzyl but she stopped and I think she knows I am behind her.

"I said you can leave, why are you still here?" She said without turning around.

"W-wenzyl, I'm sorry." I said then leave, I don't have to wait for her to respond because I know she will just push me away--

"Cameron?" M-me? I turn around and look at her. "I thought you were Chandler, apologizing--"

"Who else don't want a guy to hear a girl cry? Don't call him by his first name. Apologizing is not in his vocabulary."

"I was wrong."

"Wrong for what? Calling him Chandler? Hear him apologize? A guy who don't want to hear a girl crying?--"

"All of the above. And I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Cameron."

"No, don't be sorry. It's okay--"

"I'm sorry if I left you. I'm sorry for not listening to you, for not staying by your side, I--I'm really sorry, please forgive me, Cameron--"

I hugged her so tight because I really missed her, I wanna kiss her so bad and be with her. But I know it's not that easy to be with her again, it'll never be that easy.

"Stop apologizing. I don't need an apology from you, because all I need is you."

"C-Cameron."

"Let's just stay like this for a while." I'm sorry, I just missed everything about you. "J-just promise me that one thing we both need."

"Trust. I will forever trust you."

**

Wenzyl's PoV.

Perhaps I don't need to lie about my parents coming home, because I am hugging my home right now.

"I promise, that, even if they tell me to leave you, I will stay because I trust you, that you won't leave me because you trust me not to leave you." I am so much sobbing right now, I can't help but to cry all these heavy feelings and the emotion i have been carrying back then.

"Promise." We both said and hugged each other for the last minute before he went home.

Because I think he still remember me saying that my parents will come home soon. *face palm*

But for my friends to be aware I will meet them today and I'll just use this time left to explain everything to them.

Chandria's PoV.

"Have you already packed your needs?" I asked Grayson, oh he is so deary cute and it is cause by the smile on his face that could not be erased.

"Yeah, I think I'm good." He said while still packing some things inside his back pack.

"Are you that excited to destroy others?"

"Maybe." Grayson shrugged and I crosses my arms and just looking at him while smiling. "I don't know, but try me." I smirked at what he said next.

"Okay, here's the thing. I had a meeting with the other company last week and I know they are planning something for your brother, so before I leave, I left a small microphone that can record a conversation that is happening that day."

"Wow, you're so cool mom!"

"And little did they know that I was listening to their conversation, by the time I left their company."

"*sigh*"

"Why?"

"You could have just add a small bomb on that small microphone." Grayson said that with dissapointment in his voice. God this child, that's why I love him.

I wonder if Chandler has the same mindset as his brother.

"Not yet, we are the one who is going to confront them. Because if we did that, they could have already ordered their guards to find us and leak our information."

"Right, so where do we start?" He's talking to me as if I wasn't his mother, and he really looks like his elder brother when he's serious.

"Okay, show me some of your skills using your computer." I said and he grinned while he stretches his hands on the computer.

"Let's start with how to take down their company." I didn't say a word, letting him do his thing and he start searching and logging in to other websites, entering and searching for a codes and sites. "Well I can hack their bank accounts or where could have they keep their investment." He said while already showing me what he just did in a minute.

"Good job, son."

"So what's the next plan we will do? Or what else can I help you with, mom?"

He said I am cool, but look who's cooler now? I am really grateful that his a great kid, he never fails to dissapoint me. I wish I could see Chandler doing this with him... they could be a great partners in crime when it comes to this kind of things.

"I think we're done here." And I really want Grayson to meet his brother.

"Huh?"

"We are going to the Philippines."

"What?! Really?! Yes!" He said with an excitement.

"I know you can't hide your excitement but we are not going there to meet your brother--" Not yet.

"What? B-but, why?"

"Yet. Because we first need to ruin their arrange marriage that have been set by his nosy stepmother."

I think he gets what I'm talking about. And his reaction would be priceless.

"Dang, marrying already at his young age? I mean, I'm younger than him but still--he's too young to get married, mom."

"I know, but it's just an agreement. And I think we are just in time to stop it because you know, your brother is a stubborn guy, he wouldn't agree that easily."

And I can see that you are the opposite of your brother.

"Now I badly wanted to meet him."

I badly wants to see you both hang out and talk about some stuffs infront of me, too, watching them having a bond, just like other kids when they have a sibling/s. I can not hide my smile so i just smirk.

"So here's the plan."
