When I was a little girl my mom told me to be kind, humble, bubbly and friendly but she doesn't show it to me.

I grew up without her by my side, she's always busy about work and she never really cared for me.  I almost thought that I was adopted but dad said I'm not. 

"Ms Clea, ma'am rhian called for you"

"Okay, tell her I'm on my way"

"Yes Ms"

I'm Clea Rhaine Quinoa, 3rd year med college student at feu manila.

I'm at my own office sa company kung saan pagmamayari ng nanay ko na si Rhian Quinoa. She wanted me to do a business course but I don't want it, kaya we never really get along.

"You called for me." I said as I opened the door to her office

Your brother and cousin are at the airport right now, Ikaw na ang sumundo sakanila.

"That's it?"

"Yes, And  I have many things to do kaya ikamusta mo nalang ako sakanila"

"Uhm where will they stay?"

"At your place"

"What?!"

"Your place is too big Rhaine, they can stay there"

"Fine, are you leaving ba ulit?"

" Yes"

"Okay"

"You may go, drive safely"

"Bye ma!"

I quietly leave her office after we talked, nasanay na din akong ganon lagi ang routine namin. I'm not mad at her we just grew apart since the accident.

It took me an hour bago ako makarating sa airport kung saan narooon sila kuya and my cousin.

"Baby!"

"Kuya!, don't call me that okay"

"Asus, Ikaw parin ang nagiisang little sister ko okay"

"How was your trip?"

"It's good, how about you?"

"I'm ok"

"You sure couz?, nangangayayat ka oh"

"Aliana is right, you look stress"

"It's nothing, kuya"

"Don't worry kuya's here na, I will take care of you little sis"

"I don't need it, let's just go na"

My brother was an architect who studied in Harvard and now he's pursuing business which is his dream course.

He's been very protective of me since the accident and I can't blame him for that.

My cousin Aliana is a tourism student and nagtransfer sya dito sa pilipinas dahil sakin, she wanted to be here with me para mabantayan nya daw ako. She's the one na very close ko compared to my other cousins.

We treated each other like family that's why she's worries to me a lot. She has a bf who studies here in the philippines kaya gusto nya rin bumalik dito.

I really want to sleep na, I didn't get enough of sleep due to some projects I need to do.

"Clea!" Kuya shouted

"I'm sorry kuya, I didn't mean to"

"I should drive, you can rest na"

"No, I'm fine"

"Clea Rhaine! I know you're tired get some sleep, ok"

"Ok"

Muntik na kami bumanga sa kotse sa harap namin kundi pa ako sinigawan ni kuya.

I lost it, napapapikit na ako kaya hindi ko namalayan yung sasakyan na nasa harap.

What's this?

I closed my eyes and opened it again, hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako.

It was an alley and it's super dark, may
naaninag akong tao sa dulo nito kaya't tinawag ko ito.

"Hey!"

But it didn't respond to me, I called it once again and I was shocked when it turned to me.

"Help!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

Sobrang lakas ang sigaw nito na halos mabingi ako, I'm scared of her.

I saw this scene once and I'm too afraid to handle it.

Gusto ko itong tulungan ngunit hindi ko magalaw ang parehong paa ako at tila naka glue ito sa kinatatayuan ko.

I close my eyes at tinakpan ang magkabilang tainga ko.

"Stop!"

Hinihingal at pinagpapawisan ako ng imulat ko ang mga mata ko.

"You okay?" My brother ask worriedly

"I am"

"You sure couz?"

"Ofcourse, I just have a bad dream that's all"

"My poor baby, don't worry here we are na sa parking ng condo mo"

I calmed down for a bit when kuya said that, after some hour we get out of the car and enter the building.

"Your condo is big huh"

"Don't you find it creepy when you're alone here couz?"

"Nah"

"Ok, you're too brave"

"Ofcourse"

It's not that I'm brave, it's just that I learned to be brave for myself just because no one's been there for me.

I'm also scared.

Scared of the past, I guess.
