Back Series 1: Back To You (BxB)

Kabanata 17

Clayn

"Shhh! Baby.... I'm here. You're safe now."

His words gave me assurance. His warm embrace comforted me and made me secure.

My heart thumping inside my rib cage like crazy. Dahil sa takot at dahil sa isang rason.

My tears was like endless, keeps streaming down on my cheeks. There was a brief silence inside the comfort room. He just let me cried, feeling terrified from earlier.

Hindi namin naramdamang gumalaw ang lalaki na nakahandusay sa sahig.

"Let's go. I'll drive you home." his voice was all worried and seriousness.

Hindi pa gumagana ang utak ko sa kasalukuyan dahil sobrang bigla ko pa rin. Nagpaubaya nalang ako sa kanya nang igiya niya ako palabas. We went through the crowd that definitely went wild at the moment.

When we halt beside his car, he fished his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Bro, I'm taking Clayn home, already."

I heard him sighed.

"I'll explain it to you later."

Pagbaba niya sa tawag ay bumaling siya sa akin, looking at me straight in the eyes. The lamppost not far from us illuminated the half of his face. His eyes still look so worried at the same time in rage. I can see his jaw moving uncontrollably.

Nakatayo lang ako, nakatitig sa mukha niya. My tears already stop but my mind was still processing what happened earlier.

I got sexually harassed.

I almost got rape.

"Why are you alone in the comfort room?" Madiin niyang tanong sakin.

I gulped with his seriousness.

I hate myself for being like a kitten afraid of the dogs that any moment will bite you. I can feel myself slowly, being submissive to him. It's like he was controlling me and I hate it.

"I'm asking you, Clayn. Why did the bastard let you go there alone?" he's like trying to suppress his anger on his tone.

I sighed.

"Because I told him to just stay with our friends..." more like a whisper at tumingin sa baba.

I couldn't look at him straight in his eyes when it was raging. I can feel like he can control me if I our eyes locked and I don't like it. It's so disturbing.

He heaved a deep sigh.

"Damn that bastard!" He scoffed. "He let you go all alone? Irresponsible."

I hate hearing him calling Jaden with inappropriate words. The person has a name. He really doesn't know how to be polite does he?

Tiningala ko siya ulit, meeting his dangerous eyes.

"He has a name." Pag-alma ko.

"I don't care. He still let you go all alone and for fuck's sake you almost got rape. Clayn, he couldn't protect you, he's a big irresponsible." he exclaimed.

Somehow, I couldn't brought myself to decide if Jaden was really like that. Who would know I will be in that situation? Plus, I told him to stay, he just followed what I said.

But is Cade really right?

I shrugged the thought away. Why would I think like that?
