Jay-jay's POV
"Answer me, Jay!" Kuya Angelo shouted.
"It's not mine!" I answered while crying.
How could I not cry? When Aries couldn't get an answer from me, he immediately ran to Kuya, holding the pregnancy test with two red lines.
Damn those lines!
"That's exactly what pregnant girls who don't want to admit it say." Aries remarked, arms crossed.
"Because it's really not mine!"
"Who's the father?!" Kuya Angelo angrily asked.
Oh my God! Is Kuya deaf? I already said it's not mine!
"No one!" I answered, almost begging.
"Jasper Jean Mariano!" Kuya called my full name.
My body trembled with fear. Here we go! He might start throwing things now!
"It's really not mine! You just don't want to listen!"
"Fine, if this PT isn't yours, then whose is it?" Aries asked.
Whose, indeed? I didn't even know Denzel's girlfriend, and I wasn't sure if that was what he was holding when I saw him by the stairs.
"M-my classmate's."
"You don't have a female classmate, Jay." Aries pointed out, making Kuya's nostrils flare even more.
"Just tell us who the father is! Don't make me lose my patience!" Kuya demanded angrily.
I cried even harder. Did they really want me to kneel just to believe I wasn't pregnant?
"Is it Yuri or Keifer?" Aries asked again.
"Why are you including Keifer?" Kuya Angelo turned to Aries and asked.
"They kissed. Who knows if they did more than that?" Aries answered.
My eyes widened at what he said. Kuya Angelo's brows furrowed even more.
"They're not! Hello? They're not my boyfriends!"
Kuya and Aries suddenly went silent, as if they had just realized something.
"Is it Cyrus?" Aries seriously asked.
I didn't want to hear his name. But Aries had already mentioned it.
I shook my head. "N-no! He's in the hospital!"
"How do we know you didn't do it a long time ago and you just found out now?" Kuya reasoned.
His words made my head hurt. I understood that they somewhat didn't trust me, but this was too much.
"You want to know the truth? Let's go to a doctor." I challenged them.
But Kuya didn't move. He just stared at me before taking out his phone and texting someone. After that, he finally spoke again.
"We will go, but first, we need to know who the father is." He said before walking out of my room.
I followed him, trying to reason with him.
"Kuya! It's really not mine! Don't you trust me?!"
He stopped walking and looked at me. "Do you really want me to answer that?"
I froze and shook my head. I didn't want to hear his answer. Kuya started walking again, and I followed. We reached the living room.
"Sit down." he ordered.
I did as he said. He stood in front of me, and Aries, who had followed us, stood there too. A few minutes of silence passed before I heard a car horn from outside.
Aries moved to check who it was. When he came back, his expression was murderous.
"You called them here?!" he angrily asked Kuya Angelo.
"I need to know who the father is." Kuya answered.
Suddenly, two guys entered. Who else could they be? The King of Snakes and Yuri.
"You need to?" Keifer asked in a bored tone.
Kuya didn't waste time. He pulled out the pregnancy test and held it up in front of them.
"Which one of you is the father?" Kuya asked seriously.
Yuri arched a brow and looked at me. Keifer, as usual, had his poker face on.
"Kuya! It's not mine!"
"Shut up, Jay!" Aries shouted at me.
Keifer's eyes flickered between the pregnancy test and me.
"Damn, that was fast. Did we really make a baby already?" Keifer asked, making my eyes widen in shock.
Aries clenched his fists. Kuya turned to me, disappointment and anger evident in his eyes.
"Keifer... Are you saying—"
Keifer cut Yuri off. "Yeah... That was the best day of my life." He said with a smirk.
You son of a—! Damn you, Keifer!
"KEIFER!" I screamed his name in fury.
"What?! Don't tell me you're ashamed of me now?" he asked. "...When you were obviously enjoying it so much—"
"Shut your mouth!" Aries yelled. "You're a bastard! You know that?!"
Keifer gave me his playful smile. Even Yuri looked like he couldn't believe what he was saying.
Kuya made a phone call. I wasn't sure who he was calling because my attention was fixed on Keifer. He even had the audacity to wink at me.
"Jay... Get in the car. We're going to the doctor." Kuya ordered.
"Kuya..." I called him, but he ignored me.
"You two, follow us." He commanded the two and walked out.
I also started walking out, unable to stop myself from crying. I wanted to punch Keifer in the face.
I could see pity in Yuri's eyes. I didn't know if he believed Keifer or not.
As we got into the car, I could feel the anger radiating from Kuya and Aries. I chose to stay silent. I would just let them find out the truth.
The car started moving, with the two following behind us. The entire ride was filled with silence.
We arrived at a clinic. It was already closed, but someone was waiting outside as if expecting us. The person looked familiar. It was like...
"Mrs. Peralta," Kuya called.
Ci-N's mom!
I thought she only worked at the hospital. I didn't know she had her own clinic.
"Mr. Fernandez. Is this the one?" Ci's mom asked.
Kuya simply nodded, and Ci's mother unlocked the clinic door. She went inside, and we followed.
"Take a seat first. I'll just prepare everything," she said before stepping into a room.
"Once you turn eighteen, you're getting married," Kuya stated.
We were all shocked—except for that traitorous bastard named Keifer.
"Sure," Keifer answered, then turned to me. "...I'm excited to see our baby." He smiled.
"F*ck you!" I spat at him, and he just laughed.
No one spoke after that. A door opened, and the doctor stepped out, motioning for me to approach her.
I did as I was told.
Yuri's POV
Sometimes, punching a friend feels like the right thing to do.
I had no idea what got into Keifer's head to mess with Jay-jay and Angelo like this.
I knew he was lying. Aries and Angelo were idiots for believing him. Did they really not trust Jay-jay? And where the hell did that PT come from?
"I'll talk to your parents tomorrow," Angelo told Keifer.
"Okay" Keifer replied boredly.
"Are you doing this on purpose?!" Aries asked angrily.
"No... The moment just swept us away," Keifer replied with a smirk. He was really in the mood to provoke people. "...I'm just really good at kissing." He added, winking.
Aries clenched his fists, while Angelo looked deep in thought.
Damn it, Keifer!
"Since when? Since when were you and Jay together?" Aries asked again.
Keifer chuckled. "Do we have to be together first before doing that?"
Aries' temper flared even more. He was about to charge at Keifer when the door to the examination room suddenly opened.
Only Ci-N's mom stepped out and faced us.
"Mr. Fernandez..." she began, smiling. "...Jasper is not pregnant. In fact, she just got her period."
Angelo and Aries were clearly shocked. They didn't know how to react.
The doctor signaled Angelo to come closer, seemingly to whisper something to him. I couldn't help but eavesdrop.
"She has no signs of sexual activity. Meaning, Jasper has never been touched by any man." The doctor whispered.
Angelo seemed to understand.
He caught me looking at them, realizing I was listening. I quickly averted my gaze.
Mrs. Peralta returned inside the room, and as the door shut, Keifer burst into laughter, nearly falling off his seat.
"Hahahahahaha... I should've recorded your reactions! Hahahahahahahaha! Priceless!" He said, slapping his knee.
I could only slap my forehead. He was completely insane.
"You think this is funny?!" Angelo asked, furious.
"Well... yeah! Hahahahahahahaha..." Keifer replied, laughing even harder.
"Unbelievable!" Angelo muttered, rubbing his temples.
Aries suddenly grabbed Keifer by the collar, but Keifer just kept grinning at him. He had completely lost his mind.
The door opened again, and Jay-jay and Mrs. Peralta stepped out. Aries immediately let go of Keifer.
"I-I just want to go home," Jay said and walked out of the clinic.
I quickly followed, leaving Angelo to deal with Keifer.
"Jay!" I called.
She turned to me, but I could tell she was deeply hurt.
"I'm sorry for what happened."
"So you knew?" She asked.
"Actually, I only knew Keifer was lying, but he didn't tell me anything." I explained.
"You still knew!" She suddenly broke down in tears. "...Did you see Kuya's face earlier? That's how everyone else will look when they find out!"
I stepped closer, but she immediately backed away.
"I'm sorry... I'm the one apologizing for what Keifer did."
"I don't need your apology!" She snapped.
The clinic door opened, and Angelo and Keifer stepped out.
No one spoke. The only one who seemed happy was Keifer.
Until Jay-jay suddenly ran toward him and—
Black eye!
