Chapter Ten



DOMINIC


.......





The weekend had been long but not long enough to even make me forget about what just happened last Friday night. It was one of those unexpected things that just happened unexpectedly fast in a way that you...I didn't even had the shortest of seconds to just ponder about my actions. The reality of things seemed like a fuzzy dream and that it was even profoundly aggressive that we are like both having our very own hormonal imbalances breaking down together.


Although in my own defense I didn't really enjoy the kiss because Valentine's mouth tasted like vapid beer and it was seemingly awful. I'm a party person, that's a fact but beer isn't my thing for the sole reason that my tongue is so sensitive when it comes to flavors. However, I've got to admit that Valentine's is really a good kisser and it's one good reason as to why he's a damn good playboy.


Everything was completely out of my mind when I initiated it and I solely thought Valentine's going to beat me to death the moment I dragged his buffer body against the car which required almost all of my strength but then after everything I just realized I really did successfully kissed Valentine as part of the initial plan and it was somehow funny and weird that he kissed me back instead of pushing me away. That time I was thinking about getting punched again or even kicked.


I never expect it to turn that way. That moment after pushing him my mind was already considering the idea about just giving up and just going home and try it again sometime in the near future but yes, something inside boosted me enough courage to do it.


"Errr..." I aired before opening my locker. Just by hearing the creaking sound almost made my body cringe.


I have to come to school a bit earlier than my usual schedule and had to drag mom and my sister to it because I really need to talk to Yhannie. She stood quietly feeling herself behind me waiting for me to finish my business. She just came out of the hospital yesterday just in time when I went to visit her and unfortunately I didn't have the time to chat with her because she needed some time to rest at home because she had hospital lag. But now she was better than ever.


"What?" I asked as I began to notice that she can't get a hold of herself, well somehow she can't, while staring at me in a quite weird un-Yhannie way that seemed to trigger some questions inside my already curious mind.


"Dominic we need to talk" I heard her speak as she took a hold of my shoulder. I missed her so much that I almost felt like her presence was very strong and compelling.


"Yes, we really do......." I nodded as I slammed my locker shut.


I was already thinking about opening the topic on the contract that I signed about breaking Valentine's heart but then I thought, even if I already forgave Yhannie the easiest way this time because of her suicidal bullshit, I still have my tower of a pride to keep so I kept my mouth shut. I let her start opening the floor of conversation so it would be somewhat legitimate. After all she's the one who needed to say something in the first place anyway.


"Uhnm......Okay, first of all. I just want to apologize for leaving you guys for Valentine,......." She began in a very apologetic gesture and I think she mean it. "I didn't actually wanted any of that to happen...... you know, I know you know that but I was just stuck in the moment that I can't even deal with all of it so I just did what I did and I'm sorry.....I'm really really sorry"


I shut my eyes in an attempt to absorb all of those.


"No that's okay Yhannie. We already forgave you the moment your mom texted us" I answered smiling as wide as possible to know that I'm talking about the truth here. Zach and Ivan weren't here yet for back up so yeah I really have to deal with this thing firsthand. "Yeah, you scared us to death though....The next time you're planning to kill yourself over a pathetic guy, please invite me okay so that I would just gladly volunteer to kill you with a sharp knife just to make it a murder so in that way you won't be going to hell for suicide" I trailed jokingly and jokes are half meant so technically I mean some of what I've said.


"Hey what? Who told you I tried to take my own life?" She asked sounding inquisitive to my statement. Okay, this is weird.


"Your mom, I told you right"


"No, for God's sake!...............she just misunderstood it!!" Yhannie shook her head in great disagreement almost shouting out loud in trying to change everything in a shaking gesture. For a second I was totally shocked and confused.


"What do you mean she misunderstood it?" I asked now wondering.


"I'm not suicidal Dominic......for fucks sake. I love my life, I still need to kick Justin Bieber in his balls before dying you know....... I just....ugh I'm so dumb.....I mistaken my vital supplements over some sleeping pills and I accidentally took a lot of it because I was drunk and dizzy and that was it" She explained almost in a mixture of exclaim and defensive tantrum.


Finally she cleared up the fog and it sounded authentic coming from her very own mouth and yes, because the Yhannie I knew for years would really never kill herself over a guy. Especially Valentine.


I laughed the moment she was finished talking but then the mirthful laugh began changing into an increasing wave of panic that felt like a tsunami coming its way for me.


"What the fuck!" I yelled to my great disapproval as everything point began connecting themselves for me.


If Yhannie just accidentally overdosed herself then I also accidentally signed that fucking contract for no reason. "This is not happening!"


Dominic, you reckless freak! This is a total bummer and I hate being stuck in situations like this. Why did I even sign that contract when I knew it would splash some bad consequences on its tails? Fucking idiot!


"Why what's wrong?" She asked holding her focus towards me and then I didn't have any choice so I told her about the contract that I just signed last week and everything.


"Oh God I'm screwed!!!" I mumbled as I leaned against the wall while everything that I did came rushing back like the darkest flashbacks I didn't want to happen. Ever!


"That was exactly what I'm doing" Yhannie began giving me a look which I conceived that I would be walking in a muddy road for this day.


"Wait, what do you mean by that?" I asked even if I know what she meant by that. I just want to assure myself that it's really what she said that I didn't misunderstood any of it.


"I also signed that contract because I saw Valerie crying that day and even if I hated her, she's still once my best friend and I felt obliged to help her"


"What?" I yelled almost freaking out because I should be killing myself right now. Is this a revelation? I don't even know if I'm wide awake or just daydreaming because this is fucking bullshit in every way. "No, you did not sign that contract!" I repeated not wanting to believe what she just said.


"Yes Dominic, I did sign that contract and I didn't want you guys to know about it so I just kept my mouth shut" She admitted without cloaking any details away from me. "And I guess I failed the mission because he broke up with me when I was already halfway through breaking his heart"


"What the Fuck, I did also sign that contract" I vented slowly in an inaudible whisper that I made sure that only Yhannie could hear it.


"Wait, what?" Yhannie gasped. This time it was Yhannie who was shocked.


"Yup" I nodded.


"Why?"


"Because I wanted to get the revenge for you when because I thought you really fell in love with Valentine and that he hurt your heart that's why you tried overdosing yourself but I was dead wrong all this time......you're also just trying to break his heart...I should've know" I was truly calm on the outside and I was speaking as if this was nothing to me manner but the truth is I was already freaking on the inside.


"Oh I'm sorry, I should've told you about this"


Zach and Ivan arrived a few minutes after our disappointing conversation and Yhannie and I decided to keep that thing only between us.


I spent the first entire period just thinking about everything and I didn't even want to lay a single glance on Valentine who was looking unlikely rough this day. He seemed like he didn't had enough sleep and he looked totally awful like something's sipping his energy.


Mrs. Price was blabbering something about the pyramid of Giza and the Egyptians whatnot when I deliberately shut my eyes in a solid attempt to try and think over things. First, I just wanted Yhannie to feel important and that I'm a true friend that will always be by her side in times of dark days. Second, I signed the contract because I think that was the best way to get some revenge for what Valentine to Yhannie which is obviously a hoax because Yhannie's didn't actually tried to kill herself because him. And third, the fuck I already kissed Valentine and that means disaster for me.


The damage is already done and I can't think of something to make this thing right.
