I was down and felt alone in this battle, I knew I couldn't resist, but it was a matter of time. Why had all the people suddenly become so busy, how about me? none of them ask and are concerned throughout, is that the way it justified me? How long could this begin to move?I just sat on the bench, and little drops of tears fell in my eyes.Yes, I'm crying.No one can understand the way I felt right now, I needed someone to be here, even if I'm alone.I saw how bright the sky was, and it turns out it's getting dark. Why is my family like this? I didn't get it. Am I stupid?In fact, risking everything is more than I hate."Hey... Are you alone?" That voice...I slowly looked at that guy who spoke.It's Bryle..."Bryle..." Tears dropped in my eyes continuously, I couldn't help it rather than cry. "Shhhhh..." He wiped my tears. "Let us sit, " He said, and we sat at the bench. He was there comforting me. I put my head on his shoulder, and he offered me to lean on."I don't know what to do," I sobbed. "I can't even realize they are letting me away from all the people I loved the most. Why is time so grieved? Do I deserve this, Bryle? Like letting this be a hurdle to me? I'm not selfish when it comes to work, but why? It's too early to take them away from me. ""It's because we know you can..." I was shocked Kuya, Kingston, Mom, and Dad are there"No, you're wrong, kuya. I just want your time and effort, but you choose to leave, then leave. I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm not stupid to fall into your trap.""Lexiana, not all times we are in your side, sorry if you can't accept that your brother is gradually disappearing, I know you always do what you can do everything," Dad said"You only said that because you are grieved. Wish I'm not this person, I hate you! You know? You let me suffer, classify your actions through unbelievable tasks? Wake up, we are still young, you can't just tolerate us with your actions, and please stop forcing me to go with you. I gotta go with Bryle, not to accompany you."I grabbed Bryle's hands and left, I have my money on me and don't need anything from them"You shouldn't do that," Bryle said while we were walking"Also, you? Please, Bryle, I don't want us to fight. ""I know, but you shouldn't have to say that words to them, I know you are upset with them but incase of being in their own is their choice, believe me or not it happens already to us and I learn to accept when ate gets her chance to go at Paris for her work, I know right now that it was hard to do but realize the truth maybe it settles you because you are always both closed to each other but one time you realize you need to give them spaces, Lexiana they have their own lives like you, you also have your own life, what if it was your time, aren't you gonna hurt if you are in their situation, try to think of" Bryle said"Kind of, I just implied how they moved. I'm sure you wouldn't notice their move, but they do it for fame, like why all of you agree?""Lexiana...""Go ahead, Bryle, I don't need your accompany, I can handle myself,""Wait, where are you going?"Somewhere down the road...I didn't answer him even he is shouting my name, if that's what's you wish for then do it, this fucking London Trip is insane.If I prefer I don't want to proceed at the hotel, I'll just find a cheaper but better hotel... named "The Tower Hotel" I don't take the risk of going through them but I assured myself that I can...Kingston Calling...K for Kingston and L for LexianaK: Ate, Where are you?L: Somewhere why?K: Can I go with you? They keep arguing here, can you pick me up?L: Sure, send your location at meK: Okay Ate, I'll forward itKingston doesn't brings down the call, so I tracked him and yes, he is aloneI just cut the call when he saws me and hug me"Ate be strong, I know you are sad, please be brave..." Kingston said and hugs me tightly"How could you know?""I saw you ate, you have a lot of pains in your eyes""Kingston, If eating doesn't make it beware okay? Kuya, Mom and Dad, also your Kuya Bryle doesn't understand my situation...""But Ate, Kuya will leave us, no matter what will happen he can't be with us in the precious times, even on the important days, although he is there but I can't feel his presence, why is he like that ate? Are we forsaken?" Kingston said and stayed back a bitI grabbed his hand, and we walked"I don't know why kuya did that, even he has reason for us but the outcome it might result to living hurt deep inside with us, it doesn't matter of fact but alone with all this things I may not sure""Ate, will kuya leave us soon enough? Isn't that too early?""Fun fact Kingston, that is my question too, kuya always has time for us but now it seems to be like we are not part of it, we suddenly knew about this and it interrogates us through the actions of kuya, how long has he been like that? Where is the old kuya?"We both silence when someone speaks at our back"Lexiana and Kingston, where are you going?" Kuya ask us"Somewhere that we can be at peace, why kuya?""Lexiana, I don't intend to do it. Actually, this isn't an issue to mom and dad but because of your dramatic, mom and dad are arguing""Wait kuya? Am I the reason why? Then why do they let you away from us? It seems to be great if you are the subject but no, because you didn't even think of us, all of the sudden, it change everything, we don't mind you but the way you tolerate it is the way it triggers us""Lexiana, we are not pointing that""Then what's the point???!! Because you have a chance, you just grab the opportunity that without thinking what will be happening soon" I complained"I think of much Lexiana, you just Don't understand life and what life was""No we know it kuya""Lexiana, can we talk?" Ate Xyzriae said"Okay Ate, what is it Ate?" I said"Life is full of transition, you know that?" Ate said"Yes Ate""I would let you understand okay" Ate said "I wouldn't discourage you the way you act because you are thinking of your kuya to be left out at your family, am I right?""Yes Ate""It's hard to let go if you are attach to that person especially to you always and Kingston but think the better version of your Kuya, he wanted to give you time and space but even if he is working he will tend to work not for money but to handle the company with the help of the team, your kuya is way more than at your age, it eagerly justified your actions toward the subject but from the sequence it seems like you didn't still fully understand whether you would allow your kuya to be at that work and simplified the time, even that he is more eagerly to his time for you cause he prioritize you, no matter what he would prefer you both than never cause he is still your kuya, he is there ready to protect you as long as he can, hope you understand that" Ate Xyzriae said in calm voice "Now I request you to talk at your kuya for the better talking's, Lexiana give chance to your kuya, I won't be against with you but try to understand everything because Bryle also experience what you experience now and don't be angry at my brother, he just want you to know, I know you are mad at him right now, but keep your feelings be calm and it will be okay soon" Ate Xyzriae said"Ate, I don't know""I told you to believe me, I've already experienced that" Bryle said"Then give me space, I just need it" I said and sat down at the bench, hours later, it's getting dark, I just witness the sunset to dark, I may be fans at this situate but I see myself longing for it, at the same time as the lightning, it seems like it wants to rain out of nowhere, this might be the day I've experienced this, especially now that we are here in London, I just take out my phone and take a pics on the lighting at the sky.I don't feel like talking to them, my mind is not at peace, I hope they let me go so I can think for a little while.I know that they are staring at me but of course in a matter of dealing with pain it is hard to explain everything that is under control I may see myself luring around.Understanding the situation led me to overthink sometimes, not until someone brings me back to gazed.It was kuya..."Let's have dinner, mom and dad have to go somewhere, and let's talk.""I don't feel like eating something, kuya, can I skip meals?""No, go and eat with us,""I just don't have the energy. If you like to eat, just proceed, I just want to be alone,""Ate, just chat with us if you will go back to the hotel, okay?""Sure, Kingston."They left and here I am, still sitting. I'm sure I'll be gone in a matter of seconds, first thought is hard but kuya is dedicated that way, I'm Starting to realize every matter of second.London must be unexpectable, not just their places are nice but also their ambience in any areas.I deserve a world that makes me happy, not angry, that controls me. I might have been a strong one but have experienced a lot of pain ever since then.I made my decision wisely, and yet she still experienced those pains I didn't mean and deserved. I hope I will be okay soon enough.The rain opposed to see upon the road, the anger of lightning is very strong, it randomize the way which it hasn't show at all definitely it makes light through the dark roads resulting to heavy rain, I stand up and walk towards out I just let out my airpods and hear a song, a song that amaze me much...[Currently Playing: Easy on me by Adele]I just chatted kuya that I already at the hotel, in the exact point it rains, I see the rains pouring through the road which it amaze me,'Waiting to bring sunlight when the rain comes' I Caption and post the image on my accountI used the elevator to go to our floor and yes it was floor 14th.I get to go inside cause we have different key cards, when I got to go inside I also closeted door and I open the curtains, I see the entire city covers with rain, I also set some scent here in the room and change to a comfortable clothes, I just sleep cause I'm tired for the whole dayAchilles POV

We got to go back to the hotel and Lexiana message me that she is already at the hotel, we bring her food and yes we see her sleeping, she is tired and we know that, I look at my sister with full of concerns, I didn't want to be burden to her, I rather not accept the job offer because it's not yet the right time, I was hurt when I saw her demand my own time, she is still young to experience everything, how long I will degrade myself from prohibiting myself to act, I always act stupid around but she is the best sister when you notice.

I moved the comforter through her and kissed her forehead, I sat down at the chair and accessed some documents on my laptop, mom and dad were surely mad at me but it's for the better, it wasn't our time yet...Clearly, it was all my fault and I regret making her cry, she's my little sister that deserves everything, happiness, courage, love, everything I would give to her is precious together with Kingston."Kuya, are you sure Ate will be okay soon?" Kingston Ask"Yes and kuya will make ate okay""I miss the old Ate, she is so good when she was closed to me, she is still young but I see her sincerity kuya, please don't hurt her anymore" Kingston said"Sure thing Kingston, I know that and I'll stand at your Ate okay?""Thank you kuya" Kingston saidWe heard some noises and we look at her, she's awake"Your back, kuya, kingston""Yes we are, go and sit with us, let me heat this up first""You bring me some food?""Yes and also drinks ate" Kingston saidI smiled at her and I still sense his sadnessAfter heating up the food I gave it to her and she eat, and the order came in also so I paid it"You order another food, kuya?" She asked"Yes for the three of us, let me just take care of this""I'm sorry kuya, sorry for shouting and not understanding the situation""I know that you are in with Little Kitty, but are you sure you are okay with it, but for me? I rather choose not to work cause I still have to learn everything""So you are not accepting kuya?""Absolutely not, I rather be a student first before having a work"She smiled and hug me"Thank you kuya, thank you for listening me at all times""Yes and nothing can change with it, always remember that""Thank you so much, Kingston group hug" Lexiana insistedFinally I made a decision that she will demand, I see her happiness when it comes to me, a feeling of desperation at all but it seems to be great at all cause we are okay now."Okay, what about if we go to Big Ben around 10:50 pm after we eat, do you agree?""Sure kuya" They agree at me literally[Currently Playing: 214 (From "Alone/Together) by Jm De Guzman]"Okay and let me book some reservation for a restaurant""Yes! Thank you kuya" Kingston saidThey are both happy and yes I proceed with the booking and it turns out well, I also grab to change my clothes and before going there it is exciting, we use the bus proceeding at Big Ben, greatly they still operate even though it was already moving midnight.The rain stopped before we went to Big Ben so I encouraged them to go and they immediately agreed.We all change our OOTD for the day and here we are the big tower of BIG BEN, this is bigger than we think, should Paris be next?"This is good and yet it was great to see the Big Ben, thank you kuya for bringing us here" Lexiana said"Of course," I said"Only them?" Xyzriae said at themTheir reaction are the best, Xyzriae is with her 2 brothers"Ate you're here!" Lexiana and Kingston hug her"Of course why not?" She smiledI hug her and kiss her forehead"Are you coming with us?" I ask Xyzriae"Yes gotta go with you" She said"May I ask something, are you okay now with your kuya?" Bryle ask my sister"Yes we're okay now" she said and winked at me"Nothing to worry about, let's go!" Bryle said and he held Lexiana's hand.Lexiana and Bryle are like they are in a private relationship but no, I think my sister is too young for it."You thought they were in a relationship?" Xyzriae said"Yeah, I rather see it, but they are still young for it" I said"We know that but when we look at them they are like in a position that they are special best friends""You're right, thinking that they are meant to be""Funny... look it was the London eye" she saidWe all look at the London Eye and we are all amazed, as I look at Xyzriae it feels like she is the light of my dark path, she is the woman that gives me life eternally, I hope my sister will be like this soon enough, free from any bad happenings..."From what I've seen you have partners, how about us?" Kingston saidWe all laugh"Soon you will have""We're single" they saidWe chuckled,"You don't need to have a relationship, if still not your timing, no resistance to everything okay?" Xyzriae said to them"Unlikely us we are more older than you guys so look beyond the period of moments once you engage with a relationship" I said"Are you a lolo, kuya? You look like a lolo, you said you are older then I'll call you a lolo" Kingston saidThey all laugh what Kingston said"Older means we are old enough to proceed through relationship not a "lolo", you misinterpret it" I said"Fine, fine, fine kuya you win haha" Kingston said
