Before we start i just want to thank everyone who waited patiently and commented. Im so so so sorry i havent posted a chapter in soo long ive been really busy
Cristina's POV
I was just eating happily when keifer just had to ask something
"So, what did you guys talk about while we were gone?"
I froze for half a second and looked at Section e. "Oh nothing much. Just school and life you know.." i mean, i wasnt lying i just didnt tell him about the Jayfer group i was added in
He nodded and i finished eating. "Im so tired" i muttered before resting my head on the pillow. Keifer immediately got up and started cleaning the food tray and throw away the trash
Exhaustion took over me and i fell asleep

Keifer's POV
I watched as she fell asleep. I felt bad that i couldnt save her from our father, but relieved she was okay.
I think i'll always remember how my brother reacted when i told them they had an older sister. Keiren was so happy that he had a sister "at least we have a sister and not just brothers". But Keigan, he was glad, but he stayed quite and just smiled
After maybe an hour. Section e had to leave and Angelo took Jay home. Then someone burst through the room
"Kuya Keifer! Ate Cristina!" Keiren yelled
I quickly signaled him to stay quiet because she was still asleep, he understood immediately and stayed quiet.
"How did you come here?" I whispered
"I made the driver take us" keigan said as he walked into the room with his arms crossed
I sighed "you know that's dangerous. Especially since what happened to Cris"
"Keiren kept begging, I got tired. And didnt you hire people who you trust?" Keigan crossed his arms
I sighed, he had a point

[After a few hours]
Cristina's POV
Even if its been a while, Keifer never left my side.
Im so grateful i told him the truth and barely a week later he and his brothers already accepted me as their own
Eventually Keigan and Keiren fell asleep. I couldnt miss this opportunity
"So keifer, how are you and jay jay" i teased
He looked at me "what are you talking about" he crossed his arms
I grinned "dont act clueless. I see the way you guys look at each, your tension is so strong even Keiren knows it"
He rolled his eyes "nothing is going on Cristina. Dont be weird"
"Whatever helps you sleep at night Kuya" i grinned before letting my head rest on the pillow and slept
____________________________
Keifers POV
I watched as Cristina was pulled by a deep sleep. She knows something is going on between me and Jay, is it really that obvious?
I smirked at the thought. If i could we wouldve already been official, but Jay is too stubborn and will probably never agree. But its okay because i already know shes mine.
I suddenly became very aware of how exhausted i was, so i went to the couch and slept.
[The next Morning]
I woke up, the sunlight shining through the curtains
I got up and looked at the time, 6:38AM
i went to the bathroom and freshened up. After i finished i went back to the Room and heard a knock.
"Come in" i called out, heading back to the couch and sitting
Cristina's Doctor entered "good morning Mr.Watson. I just wanted to tell you that Cristina is able to discharge, we just need you to sign some papers"
I nodded "anything else doctor?" I asked
He sighed "let her rest, try not to stress her or make her panic. Best thing you should do is to make sure nothing reminds her of that night, so she doesnt have an episode like i explained yesterday"
"okay sir, i'll let her know" the doctor nodded at me and left the room.
It wasnt long before Cristina woke up, her eyes open but still tired
I explained to her that she can leave now and that she shouldnt be under any stress. I also told her to tell Rakki about it so she also knows what to do
She quickly packed up her stuff and i signed the papers to her discharge
As we were walking i suddenly realized "wheres your mom? Does she know youre here?" I asked
I saw her eyes look down, sad, but she quickly masked it and looked back at me "she doesnt know, and she hasnt called me. Its okay its not the first time i she's done that" she gave me a reassuring smile
I sighed, honestly what kind of mother is she? And worst of all, our father is even worse
I took her bag from her hand and put it in the back seat as she sat in the passenger seat. I quickly went to the driver's seat and started the engine

Cristina's POV
The car ride home was quiet, not the uncomfortable awkward quiet it was the comfortable kind of quiet
After a few minutes we arrived at my house. Before i left the car Keifer stopped me and handed me a key
"Whats this?" I asked, taking the key from his hand
"Its a spare key for my house. If you ever feel uncomfortable in your house just come over without permission or anything. Just because you dont live there, you are still my sister"
I smiled "thanks"
"Anytime" he replied "do you want me to come with you?"
I shook my head "no need" i left the car and headed straight to the front door
I entered the house and it was all dim. I quietly went to the living room and saw my mom sleeping on the couch with alcohol bottles scattered all around the table.
I sighed and cleaned after her. By the time i finished it was almost midnight so I immediately went to get ready for bed.
After i finished i went to my bed and opened my phone and noticed new messages
1 message from Keifer
Keifer: Just arrived home, sleep well
Me: thanks, you too
I smiled, damn he really cares about me doesnt he
1 message from Team Jayfer🤭
Ci-n: hey cristina, did you find anything out about our power couple?
I grinned
Me: no unfortunately, i asked Keifer and he tried changing the subject. But its super clear he likes her so we have a shot
Felix: we need to set them up
Edrix: agreed
Me: okay listen, we should all meet up after school and plan. But where should we meet?
Ci-n: idk we usually hang out at Jay's house or Keifer's house but obviously not there so lets just meet up at my Condo
I forgot that Ci-n's parents bought him a whole condo. We all thought it was stupid since he's only 14 years old but obviously we cant do anything about it
Me: okay bet, we all meet up at Ci-n's condo after school got it?
They all agreed and i put my phone down
Im excited to set them up, i guess i know why Jay always plays matchmaker. Its fun
And before i knew it i fell asleep.
