I ran to the streets, I was limping. "Brandon!" I yelled as I waved my hand at him. He stopped and almost ran me over, I laughed in pain and walked to the passenger's seat. He opened the door and let me in. "What the fuck Katerina?" He said in a worried voice as he looked at me like why I was there and limping. "Thanks Brandon..." I touched the side pocket and smiled, It's still here. I thought. I looked at him and smiled. "Katerina, I am not gonna start the car if you won't tell me why the ******* hell you're dressed up like this and why are you limping?" He said as his right eyebrow raised. I looked at him and sighed, I looked back of the car and pointed at the facility, "I'm crazy." I laughed, "Don't worry though Brandon, I won't do anything." I could sense fear, he looked at me intensely and sighed. He drove off and we were silent the whole time. "Br-Brandon...?" I began to speak as I felt the tensing atmosphere around us. He nodded and looked at me, "Yeah?" and looked back at the road. I smiled faintly, "Why were you there?" I was curious ever since I saw him. Why was he there...? His eyes widened and I could feel the irritation in his voice, "FUCK! I WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK FOR LEO." He yelled slowly as he kept on hitting his hands on the driving wheel. "I'm sorry..." A tear dropped from my eyes. He stopped over on the side, there was still no people passing by. It was deserted. So lonely, so silent. "I'm sorry." He shook his head as he wiped off my tear. I looked at him and our eyes met, I felt a certain connection and his face went nearer to mine... inch by inch...
SMACK! I stared at Brandon for a second, "Oh... My gosh," I said hoarsely, "I'm so sorry, Brandon... I'm sorry." I caressed his cheek. He held my hand as a tear fell from his sorrowful eyes, "I can't take this anymore Katerina..." "Brandon..." I stared at him with awe. I felt my heart thump and blushed as his fingers intertwined with mine. "Katerina..." He whispered. "I'm sorry Brandon... I was just startled that's all." But deep inside I knew I wanted to kiss him. Why am I so torn between the two most wonderful guys in the world...? His face went near mine once more, "Katerina..." I could feel his breathing on my skin, on my lips and it made me tingle, "I love you." He reached in for a soft kiss, I could feel his tear on my cheeks. The sparks were overwhelming it was wonderful... I kissed him back unknowingly. Long, hard and passionate. "I love you, Brandon." I murmured in his mouth. He broke off the kiss and I gasped, wanting more I held his cheeks and went in for another kiss. He broke it off again and I sighed. We were catching our breaths as I blushed. What did I just say...? I don't love Brandon. Wait, if it slipped it isn't a lie. I love Brandon...? I closed my eyes and pinched myself on my arm, "Fuck." I yelled. It hurt and when I opened my eyes his smile caught my eye. "You really do...?" I smiled at him, can't hold back my feelings.... "Yeah." I nodded. SHOOT! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING KATERINA?! YOU LOVE LEO, DON'T YOU? I screamed in my head. "Mahal na mahal kita..." He smiled charmingly. "W-what...?" I could remember those words he said when we were at my house, "Brandon... What do you mean? I remember that really long sentence you told me in your native tongue." I looked at him seriously. He chuckled, "Katerina, mahal na mahal kita. Kung alam mo lang gaano kalaki ang binago mo sa buhay ko. Hindi ko alam kong ano na ang gagawin ko kapag aalis na ako. Basta ang alam ko lang... Ikaw lang talaga ang mamahalin ko ng lubos-lobos...?" He said it with such sweet soft voice. I nodded as I was lost in his eyes. His hand ran down my long hair and translated it, "Katerina, I really really love you. If only you know how much you changed my life. I don't know what I'd do if I'd leave you. All I know is, you're the only girl I will love for the rest of my life." He sighed and smiled again, "Forever. And that's the truth. I still live to my words Kat. It's been seven years..." I looked at him in pain, "Why didn't you tell me...?" I loved him first, I could understand the feeling now. I loved Brandon first before Leo. How could this be...? "Because, I know Leo loved you deeply. I didn't pursue my feelings because I love Leo. He was like my brother. But seeing you like this, my feelings coming back, I don't know... I just had to tell you." More tears dropped. So much emotions...
Seems like people didn't like my latest update! Sorry, my head's gone stupid. -Brandon's POV- "Because, I know Leo loved you deeply. I didn't pursue my feelings because I love Leo. He was like my brother. But seeing you like this, my feelings coming back, I don't know... I just had to tell you." Saying the truth that moment was wonderful. I felt the sparks between the two of us. I'm sorry Leo. I thought. "Brandon..." She whispered. I chuckled, "Stop saying my name." As we finished our "emotional" moment, I started the engine and drove off again. Now, we were talking about the memories we had in the past. I'm glad she's with me. I'm glad she's alright. But why was she in the facility...?
-BTN- I creeped inside the house knowing Keith was inside. It was dark, silent and it felt creepy. This is where I killed my family. It's normal to feel the guilt. I opened the lights in the kitchen... Bad memories were overflowing in my mind. This was the first time my sister hurt me physically and by that I meant bloody... The time she almost killed me. -Past (Katerina age 12)- "Nanny, are you there?" It was two in the morning as I went downstairs to get some milk. I just watched a horror movie and I couldn't sleep. It was so scary... I opened the lights as fast as I could 'cause I felt someone watching me... Someone lurking in the shadows. "Kelly...?" My nineteen year old sister was sitting there, drunk and asleep. She wreaked of so much alcohol and smoke. I went near her trying to look if she really was asleep. "Kelly..." I whispered. I sighed in relief as she didn't answer. I walked away going to the refrigerator. But then she caught my arm. "Ow!" I screamed. There was only my sister and I; probably nanny was there. Keith was in boarding school and my parents the usual. She shoved me down and I moaned in pain, "YOU! BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN MY LIFE HAS BEEN A LIVING HELL!!!" She screamed as tears were in her eyes. "Kelly... I'm sorry. Please, stop hurting me." her grip tightened as I kept moaning in pain. She kicked me beside my stomach as my head bumped in the chestnut coloured counter. "JUST DIE YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MUM AND DAD DIVORCED!! YOU'RE THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN MY LIFE!!!! FUCK YOU!!" She let me go as she quickly grabbed the kitchen knife on the counter. I tried to stand up as she went near me. "Stop Kelly! Please!" I pleaded. She grabbed my collar and lift me up to the level of her chin and shoved me. I didn't fall, instead I held on to the counter. I walked slowly and painfully away from her. But she did it, the sharp knife cut through my left wrist, it hurt but she was keeping the pain even as she kept pulling my hair. She cut me again on the stomach. I was so weak I passed out. Blood on my shirt, so much blood. She was the reason for the scars. The scars that are permanent physically and emotionally. The scars that forever will live in my heart.
-Brandon's POV- What... Was... That...? I froze, not being able to move, my heart dropped into the ground. Why, Katerina? You kissed me. AND YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME! I scoffed as sorrow were in my eyes, I couldn't feel anything. I was numb. This pain... The same pain when I knew Leo and her got together. I fell down the ground, it was silent, it was dark, I felt like I was in a big box, alone and sad. I felt tears streaming down. Fuck. Why am I crying? I stood up slowly, still in pain, I went inside the car and started the engine. I HAVE TO GET AWAY. I screamed in my head. Katerina, I really do love you. What's in Leo that's not in me...? Was it because he met you first? Katerina, stop breaking me.
