Chapter 10: I'm Numb

I ran outside, not hearing what my brother said.

Where could brother Alexon be? Is he still mad at me? I was the reason for their breakup, maybe he's mad at me.

I need to fix this.

I saw brother Alexon with his back turned to me.

"Brother," I called out.

"Leave, Azemia."

He called me 'lil sister' sarcastically, so he is really mad.

"But brother, I already sent the girl away. You shouldn't be affected by her," I said.

I was shocked when he stood up and angrily faced me.

"What do you know?! Jane and I were together for over five years!!! But everything was ruined because of you!!!!! You took her from me!!"

I stepped back.

"N-no, I d-didn't...I-I d-didn't t-take-----"

SLAP!

I held my cheek in shock and pain.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T?! YOU TOOK HER!!! YOU TOOK HER! BECAUSE OF YOU EVERYTHING FELL APART!! YOU TOOK HER---;" Brother Alexon yelled.

"I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING, BROTHER!!! You know I have amnesia, right?? I don't remember what you're talking about!!!" I shouted as tears flowed down my face. I didn't want to be slapped again, but he slapped me anyway.

He stepped back in surprise.

"L-lil sis, I'm s-sorry. I was just carried away by my anger."

He was about to approach me, but I ran.

I'm already hurt, what's the use of sorry sob

I walked inside, head down, holding my cheek and crying.

"Lil sis," brother Xandrick called.

I shook my head... they are still here.

I couldn't help but hug brother Xandrick and cry.

"sob h-he sllapped m-me, b-brother I really can't remember! sob I don't know! "

He patted my back.

"Shh, I was about to warn you earlier because Alexon gets violent when he's angry. Calm down, okay?"

Brother wiped my tears.

"t-tears sob are s-still f-falling, b-brother sob"

"Stop crying, you're such a crybaby, little sis. You look ugly now," he said with a smile.

They were just looking at me, brother Azemin.

I hit brother, he's so annoying. I don't even know why I'm annoyed. He messed up my hair.

"Hahaa, stop crying," he hugged me again, so I hugged him back.

"Lil sis!!" It was brother Alexon!!

0_0

"It hurts!!"

That's all I said before I ran.

"Wait, little sis!" yelled Kuya Alexon.

I ran upstairs and entered my room.

I immediately hid under the blanket.

I held my cheek—it still hurt.

I remembered what happened earlier.

bam!

"Little sis! Let's talk!" said Kuya Alexon.

I don't want to!

I kept hiding under the blanket!

I felt Kuya hug me.

"Sorry, little sis. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to slap you. Please forgive me," he said.

I cried even more when Kuya removed the blanket and faced me.

"Stop crying. I promise I won't slap you again. That's a promise. I'm really sorry, little sis. Which part hurts? Is it here?" He gently touched the cheek he had slapped.

I cried with my eyes closed.

"sob

"Little sis, I'm really sorry," he said as he hugged me again.

Kuya stroked my back and head.

I kept crying. I couldn't stop it.

I hugged Kuya back.

"I'm really sorry. I won't slap you again," he said and kissed the cheek he had slapped.

"Promise?" I asked.

"Promise!" Kuya said, wiping my tear-streaked face.

"Forgive me, okay?" he asked.

"Yes, Kuya," I said.

He kissed my forehead and hugged me again.

"It's okay now, Kuya, it's okay," I said.

"Let's go downstairs now, little sis," said Kuya Alexon.

^____^

Kuya pulled me to stand and suddenly gave me a piggyback ride.

"Waah! Kuya, I might fall!" I said, holding onto his neck tightly.

"Hahaha, my back is warm, Kuya," I laughed.

"Hahaha, I won't let you fall, little sis. Just hold on tight," he said, holding my legs.

"Hahaha, piggyback ride!"

"Let's go!"

"Waaah"

Kuya ran, swaying from side to side.

"Kuya! Be careful!" I said.

"Hahaha," he laughed.

"Waah! Kuya!"

Kuya ran downstairs, so I held on tightly.

Kuya Xandrick and the others were watching us.

"Haha, you're okay now," Kuya Xandrick said.

"Waah! Kuya! Help!" I said because Kuya Alexon was running in circles.

@.@

"Hahaha," Kuya Alexon and Kuya Xandrick laughed.

"Aah!"

I screamed when Kuya Alexon slipped and I fell.

I landed on someone who caught me, and I ended up on top of him.

I looked down to see who caught me.

0_0 Joshua!

He stared into my eyes even though I was still wearing glasses.

"HEY!!" Kuya Alexon suddenly shouted, and Joshua pushed me off.

I sat up.

"Yiiiieeeee~ little sis!" Kuya Xandrick teased.

"Ahh," Joshua grumbled.

"Kuya!!!!" I scolded.

Kuya Alexon helped me stand, and I hit him.

"I told you to slow down!" I said.

"Hahaha, but Joshua caught you," Kuya Alexon said.

Hmp!

Kuya Alexon hugged me from behind.

"Little sis is sulking," Kuya Alexon teased.

"No, I'm not!" I said.

"Hahaha," Kuya Alexon and Kuya Xandrick laughed.

"Okay, Kuya, let go now," I said.

"I want a hug too!" Kuya Xandrick said.

Oh no!! They both hugged me tightly.

"Kuya!" Their hug was so tight.

"Hahaha, sorry, little sis. You're just so huggable," Kuya Xandrick said.

^_____^

"By the way, Kuya, where are Mom and Dad?" I asked as I went to the kitchen.

"Little sis, they went out," Kuya Xandrick replied.

Ahhh

I nodded.

What should I do now?

I'm bored. I glanced at my brothers sitting on the sofa, busy with something, including Joshua, Hyzze (Hayz), Ruezze (Ruwez), and Gab.

I went back to the kitchen and drank some water. Hmm.

How do I make up with Kuya? What can I do?

sigh I couldn't think of anything. Hahaha. This is going to be hard. I peeked into the living room from the kitchen and looked at each of my brothers' faces.

But I noticed one of my brothers.

0______0

crash!

I dropped and shattered the cup I was holding.

Why did I just notice this now?!!!

He looks like Kuya Ekie!!

Impossible!! Why does he look like Kuya Ekie?!!! How did this happen?!!!

"Little sis!!!"

I snapped out of it when my brothers ran towards me.

Shit! I broke something.

"Sorry, Kuya, I dropped it," I said, kneeling to pick up the broken pieces when Kuya Xandrick pulled me up.

He carefully took the broken pieces from my hands and handed them to Kuya Alexon.

"Don't pick it up, little sis. You might get hurt!" Kuya Alexon said.

"Sorry, Kuya," I said.

"It's okay, little sis. Are your hands okay? You didn't get cut, did you?" Kuya asked, sitting me on the sofa.

I laughed.

"Haha, Kuya, I'm fine."

Kuya Xandrick was super worried, and Kuya Alexon was cleaning up the mess I made.

We were all puzzled when Kuya Icakie, who was reading, pointed at my leg, and even Kuya Andrius looked over.

So I looked too.

"Shit! Little sis! Why didn't you say something?! Alexon! Get some blah blah."

I almost laughed but held it back, not wanting to get scolded.

There were shards of glass stuck in my leg. Why didn't I feel that?

I was the only one sitting on the single sofa while they were on the long sofa. Kuya Andrius and Joshua were busy with their phones.

I felt sad. I thought they would help me.

sigh

Kuya Xandrick left to get water, probably.

There were shards of glass stuck in my leg.

I bent down because I didn't want to be a burden.

So I pulled one out and placed it on the table. I had been numb for a long time; it just hurt a little.

-_- Ugh, blood was dripping.

I pulled out another one and placed it on the table.

I noticed they were all staring at me.

I removed each shard one by one, and when I got to the deep one, I slowly pulled it out. It shouldn't get worse.

0_0

What the!! A lot of blood came out! It was deep!

"Fuck!!! What did you do, little sis?!" Kuya Alexon shouted.

They knelt in front of me, examining my leg.

"Why did you take them out?! What if it got worse?!" Kuya Xandrick scolded.

"It's okay, Kuya. I can handle it," I said.

Kuya Alexon glared at Kuya Andrius and the others, who were avoiding eye contact.

"Why didn't you stop her?!" he asked angrily.

brother xandrick was cleaning my wounds.

"Ugh," my brothers muttered.

I rested my elbows on the sofa and leaned to the side.

"She doesn't look like she's hurt," Kuya Clark said boredly.

Should I have shown that I was in pain earlier? If I had, would they have worried?

sigh

"Even so!!! You know what she did was dangerous!" Kuya Alexon said.

"She did it because she wanted to. Why should we interfere?" Kuya Andrius said, still on his phone.

"Yup," Joshua and Ruezze agreed.

Kuya Alexon stood up angrily.

"Kuya," I called.

"It's okay. They're right. I took the glass out myself, and it's far from my vital organs. I won't die from this," I said, looking to the side.

Kuya Xandrick paused in cleaning my wound, and I felt their stares.

I looked at them boredly.

"Little sis," Kuya Xandrick said, concerned.

I took a bottle of alcohol.

"Why?

Did I say something wrong?" I asked, opening the alcohol bottle and smelling it. It was a big bottle.

"Little sis, are you really okay?" Kuya Alexon asked.

I took the bandage to wrap around my leg.

They watched my every move.

"Little sis, what are you doing?" Kuya Xandrick asked with a furrowed brow. When I did this with my gangmates, they looked pained. Does it really hurt?

"I'm okay, Kuya. I'm just bored," I said, pouring alcohol on one of my legs.
