Chapter 82 - 81
"Do you think Justin would like it if he sees you like this?"
At the mention of his beloved's name, he felt his heart throb. The tears that didn't seem to fall from his eyes since he woke up from the accident were now rolling down his cheeks endlessly.
The mere thought of Justin not liking what he was doing made him fall apart once again.
He wiped his tears with the back of his hand and toom a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He put the bottle next to him and sat up. He looked at the direction of the door and decided to open it for the person who was outside.
He stood up and walked to the door. As soon as he opened it, the first thing he thought when he saw the person standing before him was, 'He might kill me at this rate.'
"I've been coming here every single day despite my busy schedule, yet you never opened the door for me even once. You're a total mess," he said as he glared at Tristan.
Just as he said, Tristan really was a mess.
Messy unit, greasy hair, unwashed clothes that reek of alcohol, huge eyebags, and scruffy beard.
Everything about him at the moment looked disgusting to the person standing on the doorway.
"You have to clean up. Clean this place and yourself. You can be sad all you want, but at least call someone to clean this place for you if you don't want this place to be a cockroach's home," he said as he made his way in.
"Come on, Troy, I don't want to listen to you nag at me like this. Let me be for now, okay," he said as he frowned.
"At this rate, you'll die because of an illness. Are you an idiot? How could I let you be?" Troy raised his brow at his brother.
'There it is. The side that he's been hiding for years,' Tristan thought as he watched his brother look at every corner of his home.
"You seriously need to clean up. Your place stinks," he said as he made a disgusted face.
Troy looked at his brother's face once again and felt his heart ache at the sight of him.
He really looked miserable. He's never seen Tristan act or look like this in his entire life. All his life, he's known his brother as the type of person who has the best self restraint and composure. No matter what happened to him, he will always try not to show his emotions. But now that he's seen him like this, he knew that the only person who could make Tristan become like this was none other than Justin.
"At least I don't tell people that I'll fuck their door up," Tristan said as he frowned. "I don't think only the door would get fucked up if I didn't open it for you," he continued and shook his head.
It was the Troy's side that he hasn't shown anyone in so long. He was different from most omegas. He wasn't the type of omega who's short, weak, and would quiver at the sight of someone who's bigger than him. He was originally the type of person who'd curse someone, become rude, and would even resort to physical violence if needed, but his breakup with Xander made him change.
He rolled his eyes at his brother and sighed. "Seriously, though. It's okay for you to be sad. It really is. My only concern is that you're not taking care of yourself anymore. You should at least do that, Tristan," he said with a serious expression on his face.
Tristan kept quiet.
He knew that, too, but he couldn't seem to make himself move willingly. He just wants to laze around all day and do nothing but drink and paint portraits of Justin.
Tristan clenched his jaw and sighed.
"Alright."
*****
Time went by quickly. After waiting all night on his birthday, Justin left for his family's house without telling anyone where he was going. He decided to just leave everything that has hurt him.
He didn't care that he won't be able to finish college with only two more months until he could graduate.
He knew that if he stayed there longer, people would know that he was pregnant. To protect himself and his baby, he decided to leave for his hometown where he could at least find comfort in.
"Blaargh! Blaargh!"
Justin tightened his grip on the toilet bowl where he was vomiting.
It has already been five months since he left. His pregnancy symptoms has gotten worse and worse as time went by.
"Justin, sweetheart! Are you okay in there? Let me help you," his mom, Marina, yelled behind the door.
Even though Justin wanted to tell her that he was fine, he couldn't speak. Every time he openes his mouth to try and speak, he would immediately vomit.
He feels like if he throws up some more, he would eventually throw the baby up.
"Blaargh!"
After minutes of puking everything that he ate yesterday and peeing a little bit in his shorts, he finally finished his business in the bathroom.
"What's up, mom?" He said as soon as he got out with a smile on his face. "Don't you 'what's up' me! I'm so worried about you..." she frowned at him. "I'm really fine, mom," he chuckled.
Marina sighed as she watched her son smile at him. "Go and get yourself changed. You're going to get an ultrasound, remember?" she said and smiled at him. "Yep. I'll go to my room now," Justin said and headed to his room. He immediately changed his clothes and after that, he went downstairs to eat breakfast.
When he first arrived home after his breakup with Tristan, he didn't tell his family about his pregnancy for a few days, but when he started craving for all sorts of food, that was when his mom knew that he was pregnant.
Honestly, his entire family was furious at Tristan for leaving Justin when he's pregnant, but Justin told them to just leave Tristan be.
Daniel was especially mad at him because he really thought Tristan wouldn't hurt Justin. The way he acted when he was staying at their house made him think that they might as well just get married. But now that things have turned sour, he felt the urge to beat him up until he's barely breathing. Being the good brother he wants to be to Justin, even though he wanted to do all sorts of terrible thing to his brother's ex boyfriend, he stopped himself from doing that and just did as Justin told them.
Their father, Rafael, was so mad to the point where he decided that they should move out to a different place so Tristan wouldn't be able to find them in case he goes looking for Justin again. That way, he would have no means of seeing Justin anymore. Because of what Rafael did, not even Justin's closest friends knew where to find him.
He just disappeared from their lives, making them question themselves why Justin left without telling them anything. More than anyone else from his circle of friends, Daryl felt really hurt when Justin suddenly disappeared with no traces of him left. He didn't know that the last time he'll be seeing his best friend was on his birthday. He didn't even get to say goodbye to him, let alone know his whereabouts.
After eating, Daniel started the car, so they could leave for the hospital right away. Marina and Daniel are the ones who will be accompanying him today because Rafael has to go to his new job.
Justin was slowly adjusting to a life where Tristan didn't exist. Although he still misses him every day, he thought that he had no other choice but to move on from him so he could go forward. It was something that he had to do for himself and for his baby. If he spent all his days being miserable because of their breakup, it will definitely affect his child's health. He was more concerned because being an omega, his bump wasn't supposed to be as big as his right now, so he wants to take extra precaution.
After driving very carefully, they finally arrived at their destination. Daniel asked his mom and his brother to wait for a bit so they could go in together. He still had to park the car properly because he just learned how to drive recently.
Justin and Marina were waiting at the parking lot and watching Daniel park the car better than earlier.
A smile formed in Justin's lips as he watched his brother desperately trying to park the car properly.
As they watched Daniel finally stop the car's engine, they didn't notice someone crawl up behind them.
When Daniel's eyes darted upon his brother and mother, he could almost feel his heart stop and immediately hopped out of the car to protect his brother.
"Justin, move sideways quickly!" He yelled as he ran quickly to them. "Huh?" Justin did as his brother told him, and when he saw something shiny on the ground, his face paled.
It was a knife.
