After giving me food- and teasing me about being fat!- Xander left and told me to get some rest.

I closed my eyes and the same almond eyes stared back at me.

"Who is he? Gosh..." I slapped my face lightly, "Shit up and man up."

Yes, shit up, not shut up.

I grabbed my phone and went to my call history.

I giggled and, without thinking, I saved it.

Mr. Ilikefood

I dialed the number and they luckily picked up.

"Who's this?" The same voice from before asked, except it was a bit groggy, like they just woke up.

This voice...

I cleared my throat, "Hello my dear soulmate! Looks like you lied,"

"Dayana?" I heard a loud thump, as if he fell from his bed or something.

"Yeah? That's my name... or is it?" I said with an evil laugh.

"Lied about what?" He asked innocently, ignoring my craziness.

Wow, someone can actually ignore my craziness.

"About breaking your phone." I replied with a giggle.

"Oh... Well, I changed my mind." He replied.

I snorted, "When?"

"Since- uh, when you ended the call!" He replied.

"Oh, really? No no, don't worry, I believe you." I said, stifling a laugh.

"I really did!" He exclaimed and something in the background crashed, as if he flailed his arms around and accidentally hit something.

"Nice move." I told him.

"That... was my sister's gift to me." He said with a whimper.

"And now let us all witness my soulmate die from fear before his sister could find out." I announced.

"Not helping." He said deadpanned.

I giggled, "I know, how do you expect me to help if I'm not even with you?"

"Words of encouragement...?" He offered.

I rolled my eyes even if he couldn't see me, "Yeah. You can do it!" I said deadpanned.

"Thanks?" He replied, making it come out more as a question than an answer.

"You're welcome!" I beamed.

"You're no help." He told me.

"But you just thanked me! And why the sudden mood change? Are you in your guy period or something? Unless you just have a deep voice and is actually a-"

"Shut up! Sheesh! I'm a boy! Male! Lalaki!" He exclimed.

"Ooh, Filipino?" I asked.

I heard him groan, "No."

"How do you know a Filipino word? Unless it was a different language then I'm so-rry!" I said with a giggle.

"It was Filipino. I just got that from Tr-" he paused, "-oy. Right, Troy."

"So... Troy's the name of your companion earlier?" I asked him.

"Yeah..." He replied slowly.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

"Hey, funny story, I'm actually half-Flipino!" I exclaimed.

"Really." He said, making it statement, not a question.

"Yup! My father- well, before, that is- was a Filipino." I told him.

"Why 'before'?" He asked.

"Because he's not my father anymore." I replied and hummed a tune.

The tune from that old nursery rhyme? I think it goes like London Bridge is falling down or something like that.

"Why are you humming that?" He asked me.

"Nothing, I just felt like it." I replied.

"Uh-huh," he said and I heard something like a door slam.

Before I could answer, I heard another crash in the background.

He cursed and ended the call.

Okay?

I sighed and sent him a message.

To: Ollie

Hello~~~~ is my soulmate okay?

I sent it then realized I sent it to the wrong person.

No!

To: Ollie

Sorry!!! It was meant for another person...

I sighed then giggled.

"Man was that stupid!" I said with a laugh.

Suddenly my phone chimed.

From: Ollie

I'm in front of your hospital room. Can we talk?

"Ollie!" I yelled.

The door opened, revealing him.

With blood on his face. Just a few splatters, though.

"What the hell happened to you? Did you kill without me? If you did, then I hate you!" I yelled.

He didn't reply and just sobbed slightly.

"Why are you crying? And how did you get here without being questioned about your blood? Let me guess, Leon?" I asked him.

He fell to his knees, still crying.

"Hey, c'mere." I told him.

He shook his head, "No. I can't."

"What do you mean?" I asked him, "When you nod your head yes, but you wanna say no?"

"Dayana, I'm serious." He told me.

"Siri and Yus?" I said, tilting my head to the side.

"Dayana!" He yelled.

I shut my mouth.

"Listen... CBG will never accept me again." He told me.

"What're you talking about?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

"I remember telling you that I joined CBG when I was thirteen." He remarked.

"Mhm." I replied.

"Meaning... I've been undercover from Keens gang for four years." He replied, gritting his teeth, "That's the reason why Jewel Gang always strikes after Keens gang does."

Jewel Gang and Keens Gang are allies. Likewise with Dizblood Gang.

I laughed, "That's why they seem to always be three steps ahead."

"Yes." He said.

"Do Olivine and Olivia know about this?" I asked him.

"No. Olivine and Olivia joined CBG two months before I joined. They thought I wasn't in a gang before." He replied.

"And they thought it was because 'Family stays together'?" I asked him with a giggle.

He nodded.

"What do they do now? Now that you're a-" I visibly gulped, "-traitor?"

Something, hurt maybe, flashed in his eyes.

"Dayana... remember this, I actually did love you. Courting you was never part of our plan but I did it anyways. The other Keens thought it was to bring down the ace, but it was actually for my feelings toward you."

I couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"Oliver?"

"Yes?" He asked.

"I hate you." I said in between sobs, "For doing this! You can quit Keens and join CBG!"

"I can't." He said.

"Why not?!" I exclaimed.

"They threatened to kill Kylie if I don't come back to them. If I come back to them, they'll give Kylie back." He replied.

"What?" I squeaked out.

"I knew you would be upset so I agreed to come back." He said, his voice low that I could hardly hear him.

"Oliver." I called out, "Come here!"

He went over to me and I hugged him.

"I'll miss you. Promise me you won't forget me?" I asked him.

"How can I forget you?" He asked me.

I sniffled and let go of him, "I'll give you something to ensure you won't."

"And what is that?" He asked me.

I took off the case of my phone and gave him the photo hidden behind it.

"This was taken when I first joined CBG." I told him.

"I miss that day." He blurted.

"Me too." I said.

"Dayana?" He called out.

"Yeah?" I asked.

He gave me a kiss on the cheek, "I love you."

I closed my eyes and smiled, "Thank you for everything."

He nodded and exited the room.

Exited my life.
