ROSALYN
After getting flunked my exams I was so embarrassed to go to the university. It feels like when people look at me they were already judging me, that they already know that I didn't do well on the midterm examination.
I was really amazed by the fact that I flunked it all.
"Lower your voice, Alvin. Rosalyn might hear you!"
"It was you who should lower your voice, Jeff."
"What? It's my fault now that we are shouting at each other?"
"If you just didn't start it!"
"This will never happen if you just listen to me!"
"I already told you that it is not the solution, for fuck's sake."
"And now you're cursing me. You're so great, you fucker."
"Yeah, fuck this life!"
I buried my face in my pillow and started to cry, their fight continued and it worsen since breakfast and dinner they don't talk to each other. They were both cold to each other and they only talk to me. I just let them since this Daddy Alvin might say sorry soon but after a week, they still haven't let go of their pride.
"Daddy, should we eat dinner outside? Tonight, I'm craving for some steak."
I ask them and they both look at me. I bite my lip before smiling at them.
"I'm sorry, Darling I have a meeting later."
"Oh, an important meeting. I see, do great later Daddy!"
"Thank you, Rosalyn. I'm sorry, we will eat outside soon."
Daddy Alvin kissed my forehead and I watch him go upstairs. When I look at Daddy Jeff he warmly smiles at me and nods his head.
"Let's get going then."
"Yeah."
Even though I'm already on the verge of crying I take a deep breath and smile at him. After I talk to my professors I was given one last chance since I did great on their subjects, the most to talk was my major professors. But with the help of the Council president, I was given a second chance.
"Why did you help me?"
"I always see you coming in and out in the office of the professors and as a President of this university it was my duty to help the students."
"I see. Thank you then."
He nod at me and after that he left me there, when I got into the garden I saw Jasmin talking to Nicholas. When Jasmin saw me she immediately stand up and left Nicholas. Nicholas who was looking blankly at me sighed and look at the seat In front of him.
"I'll just go get my books, you can call Jasmin again since she might telling you something important."
"And where are you going?"
"To the library."
"Didn't I say that I will help you on reviewing? And don't mind Jasmin she was just sulking. You two will go back on being close once again when she was done on being childish."
"Why are you helping me again?"
I bite my lips while waiting for him to answer and I smile at his answer.
"Coz were good friends now."
I nod at him and sit in front of him. That was not the answer that I want to hear. But what I am expecting?
"Now, let's go back on this topic. I'll read the definition and you'll tell me what is it?"
"Yes..."
After three days I was told that I will be doing my exam in the library and it was the Council President who were going to watch for me while I'm taking my exam. There are times that my minds wanders while I was staring at the question but the Council President will tap his pen on the table and I will go back on answering once again.
When I finished answering all the questions I thank Mr. Deogracia who was patiently waiting on his seat.
"I'm really thankful to you."
"Do well next time."
"Yes, thank you!"
I let him go first and after that I slump back on my seat and take deep breaths. I hope I answer it all right.
"So, how's the examination?"
I look at Nicholas who suddenly showed up. I give him a smile.
"Nico..."
"Yes?"
"Thank you. I think I did great on this one."
"Yeah. Let's go now, I'll drive you home."
"Okay."
I feel like I don't have the strength to walk even after getting inside, we were both silent.
"Are you okay now?"
He suddenly asked. This is my first time getting inside of his car. When will I get my own car?
"Yeah, but I'm tired."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
"Don't be concerned on me too much, I might fall for you."
"Rosalyn don't change the subject."
"Gosh, since when did you take my jokes seriously? I thought you'll ignore that."
"Rosalyn."
"I'm great."
"Yeah, that's the thing you keep on saying. Stop lying will you?"
I shut my mouth. He was so observant, isn't he?
"I'm not lying. Now that you ask that, these days I feel like I'm alone. Did you ever feel that? It's weird right?"
"Anything else?"
"That's all, maybe I was drowned by the books I read before. There was really no reason for me to be lonely. Maybe I miss hanging out with you guys."
He didn't say anything after that and just drive silently. When he stops in front of our house I immediately get outside and wave my hand on him.
"Thank you for the free ride."
He just nods at me and after that, I run towards our house but before I reached the door I can already hear their voice. They were fighting once again.
I bite my lips and run towards the gate and then I stare at Nicholas' car.
"Why did you go back here?"
"It was so silly of me to not invite you inside. You should just eat dinner here."
"Is Uncle Jeff and Uncle Alvin already inside?"
"Yes, they were still talking though so?"
"Sure."
Then he step outside his car and walked towards me. When I opened the gate he immediately look at the garage.
"Uncle Jeff's car?"
"They might leave it on the company."
"They did change many things outside."
"Yes, Daddy Jeff wants some gnomes so they put 15 gnomes there. And you can see that they also grow flowers."
"Yes, it was so pleasing in the eyes." 
When the maid saw us from the window she immediately left and then the door opened.
"Rosalyn, Nicholas!"
"Hi, Uncle Jeff, Uncle Alvin."
"So, what's up?"
Daddy Jeff weirdly smiles and I shake my head.
"I invited him to eat dinner here since he give me a free ride."
"Really? It's good to see that you two are doing good, and Nicholas thank you for taking care of our Rosalyn."
"I didn't do anything much, Uncle Alvin."
"Still, Thank you. Anyways, let's now go inside, Myrtle please serve the dinner now."
"Yes, Sir."
"So, how's college life? Rosalyn, Nicholas?"
Daddy Jeff smiled at both of us.
"Is it hard?"
"We can still handle it, even Rosalyn is doing good."
I look at him and frowned. I thought he was about to tell them that I failed all of my exams.
"That's great."
"Why don't we talk about other things over dinner?"
"Sure, Uncle." I don't know if I should thank Nicholas or not, because today after those months... finally the dining table went back to being lively. I don't want this to end.
"Thank you for the wonderful dinner, Uncle."
"I'm glad you like it. Come back again next time."
"Yes, Uncle."
"I will wait for that time, Nicholas."
Then Daddy Jeff opened his arms and Nicholas then hugged Daddy.
"Ahh, I feel like I hug Kat herself. Thank you again for looking at our Rosalyn."
Then Daddy pats his back.
"Uncle, Mom will surely want to see you."
"Yeah, I will visit her soon. You should go now, it's already late."
"Yes, thank you again for the dinner."
"Yeah, take care on your way home."
"Yes. Rosalyn."
I smile at him and wave my hand.
"Goodbye."
"Bye."
I watch him get inside his car and watch until I can't see his car anymore. That night the house was so peaceful that I fell asleep that fast when I heard a loud noise downstairs. When I look at my phone it was already 10:35.
Is Daddy Alvin and Daddy Jeff fighting again? But why?
I gulped and leave my room. But I was wrong my daddies were arguing with someone.
"Daddy Alvin, Daddy Jeff what's wrong?"
"That's definitely her!"
"I told you she had no connection to you!"
Daddy Alvin shouted back and they look at me. This is the first time I saw his angry eyes.
"Go back to your room. Now!"
"Y-Yes, I'm sorry."
I was about to run upstairs but he shouted something that get my attention.
"Rosalyn, it's me your daddy!"
"Shut up, Rosalyn is not your daughter!"
"Whatever you say, I'm his biological father."
After I heard that, I felt like my whole world stop. The questions started to flood inside my head.
Why now?
Is he saying the truth?
Why did he only show up after those years?
"My real father you say?"
"Don't listen to him, Rosalyn. Now go back to your room."
I bite my lip and remained standing there.
"Ash, why don't we talk things tomorrow? We will let you meet Rosalyn, for now why don't you go back to your house? Can't you see the state of Rosalyn? It's freaking late and the she needs to sleep."
Daddy Jeff calmly said and the man nodded his head.
"Right, I'm so sorry. I thought you already run away since you're not picking up your phones."
"You can now go back, let Rosalyn rest."
Then Daddy Alvin started to push that man.
"Man, it's already late."
"Wait, let me say my goodbye to her."
"Just make it fast."
"Rosalyn baby, I miss you. I'll see you tomorrow, I love you!"
That was the last thing he said before he finally left our house and I was there. Standing like a wall and can't process the whole thing that happened a while ago. They both rushed in my direction and Daddy Alvin held my shoulders and look at me.
"You should now pack your things we will leave in a minute. Jeff pack our things and I will start the car now."
"Okay. You should make it fast Rosalyn we should not waste any minute. I will explain everything later."
"Yes, Daddy."
"That's my baby."
Then Daddy kissed my forehead and I get my bag and put my books on my bed. I just put my clothes inside my bag and when I was done packing I go out of my room. They told the maids that we will be gone for months and after that, Daddy Alvin just drive the car.
I can saw them panicking while Daddy Jeff was looking left and right.
But before we even leave the city we got into an accident. It happened so fast that all I remember is when Daddy Jeff hugged me as I heard a loud crash. It was traumatizing, my unconscious parents, the blood in my hands.
"Gosh. Daddy... Haa, what am I gonna do now? Daddy."
I want to shake him badly so he will wake up but I remember that it might worsen his situation so I just called his name and when his eyes opened I started to cry.
"Daddy, you're hurt."
"Hush, don't c-cry."
Daddy wipe my tears and I held it. Daddy's warm hands... we're full of blood.
"But you are h-hurt. Haa."
"Help will c-come soon. So, don't cry..."
"Right."
With my trembling hands, I started to dial the emergency telephone number. They started to ask things and I can't remember if I said the right thing. And when I opened my eyes once again I saw the ambulance rushing towards our direction and helping my parents. The police talking to the truck driver and I think the nurse was asking me something but I can't function well.
Are they going to be fine?
Of course, they are going to be fine. My daddies are... strong. Yeah. Everything will be fine.
That's all I am thinking of when I saw how badly hurt my parents was. I was fighting demons inside me when I saw their condition.
When we got into the hospital I was crying as I saw my parents, they were both covered in blood and their eyes were closed.
"Ma'am is there anyone you want to call?"
The nurse asked me after they tended my bruises. I immediately nod my head and get the phone in her hand. There is one person that comes to my mind and when I pressed the call button, I waited for him to answer it.
(Hello, who's this?)
"Nico..."
(Rosalyn? What happened?)
"Yeah, I'm s-sorry for disturbing you late at night, but can you come here to Northwester Hospital? I don't know what to do anymore. Please, help me."
