"Umalis ka na, Jeremy." Mahina kong wika. I looked away especially when both my parent's heads turned to me. "What, are you just going to throw away our relationship like that? Because of Harry?!"Galit na tanong sa akin ni Jeremy.
I heard her talking to the police and after a while, bumalik siya sa living room. Mom squeezed my hands as she went to their room to retrieve her phone. "No! I love her! Please, I really love her!" He protested.
This young man is out of his mind." Dad said, trying to sound calm. "We can still sort it out, yeah? I know you still love me! Please!" He tried entering but my father's large body prevented him from approaching me. "Is he your boyfriend?" My mother asked, surprised. "Look, I'm so sorry! Nadala lang ako ng selos! Please, Mary Grace," Jeremy started wailing out. I just opened my mouth but no words came out. "Do you know this uneducated young man, Mary Grace?" But when I remembered what he did to me earlier, my fists automatically balled in anger. His eyes were pleading and his lips were trembling. "Mary Grace! I need to talk to her!" For a moment, I felt bad when he looked like he was about to cry. My mother place a protective arm around my shoulders. "Now, who the hell are you?" Dad demanded. "Mary Grace!" He tried to approach me but my Dad shove him away. His eyes glassy and he smell so bad of alcohol and weed. Dad opened the door, and it revealed Jeremy. I left the glass I was holding and ran to the living room. Kaagad akong kinabahan nang marinig ang pamilyar niyang boses. But we were all startled when loud angry knocks banged the door. The clock continued to tick as I started drying the dishes.
They both went to the living room and casually chatted about Dad's day at work. I just ate silently and volunteered to do the dishes as both my parents looked at me as if I'd grown another head. Dad seemed surprised though, but he did not say anything. I washed up, put on some fresh clothes, and ever since Dad grounded me on the house, I joined them for dinner for the first time. I even spotted her shake her head before turning back to cooking. Sinundan lang ako ni Mommy ng tingin hanggang sa makaakyat ako sa kwarto ko. It didn't even occur to me that I was mad at her earlier. "Where have you been?" She asked, eyeing my suspiciously. I couldn't wipe off the smile from my face it must've shocked my mother because her eyes widen. I race to our house without looking back because I know I wouldn't be able to stop myself from running back to him and escaping again. "Goodnight," He smiled as I climbed out of the car. "Maybe when I can sneak out again," I winked. I leaned closer to him and gave nibble kisses on his well-defined jaw. "Man, I'm missing you so much." Isinandal niya ang ulo sa headrest at pumikit. "When will I see you again?" He asked softly. Pati si Harry din naman ay walang binabanggit tungkol kay Ate Annie ever since he confessed and we started kissing each other and acted more than friends. "Yeah," For a moment, gusto kong tanungin sa kanya kung ganito din ba siya sa ate ko. "I wish I don't have to return you home and have you for myself in the house so that I can kiss you anytime I want." He murmured on my lips. We were both gasping for breath when we pulled away. He kissed passionately I could have cried myself out. He pulled me closer as he buried his fingers on my hair. I leaned forward and pressed my lips to him. "Well." Harry said, turning towards me as he searched for my eyes in the dim light. Pareho lang kaming nakatitig sa bahay ko a few blocks away. When the engine died down, his hands remained on the steering wheel. Baka mamaya ay nag-aabang na sa akin si Mommy sa labas. I told Harry to stop a few blocks away from our house. He immediately place his lips ony my forehead the moment I leaned closer to him that made me smile from the inside. I don't want Harry to keep looking at me and realize that he had been kissing a monster instead of an 18-year old teenage girl. I know for a fact that I look less human right now with dirty clothes, messy hair, and red puffy eyes. "You keep on glancing at me and seriously, it's starting to freak me out." I admitted. While driving, Harry keep on glancing at me. I felt bad when she started crying as soon as we left. Clarisse insisted of coming with us, but Mang Ben did not let her to. Inihatid ako ni Harry pauwi gamit ang sasakyan ng kanyang ate.
