Red's POV

"Fvcking sht. Red, Blue's finger twitched." Clyde said, his eyes focused on blue's hand.

"What?" I managed to choke out. Hindi ako nakagalaw siguro narin kasi nasa state of shock parin ako sa sinabi ni Clyde.

Tumayo nalang si Clyde at dali daling pinindot ang emergency button. In less than a minute, A nurse and a doctor came rushing inside, glancing at the whole room.

"What happened?" The Doctor asked, scanning the room.

"His finger twitched, Doc." Clyde replied. "Is he awake?"

Lumapit naman yung doctor kay Blue at sinuri siya. Then may kung anu-ano na siyang pinagawa dun sa nurse. Nagtake din sila ng notes.

He turned to us. "He's awake. But he's too exhausted to wake up. He needs rest kaya for now, he's sleeping. But he is already awake. And wala namang malfunctions so I think he'll be okay."

"So that means he can wake up anytime now, right? He's already out of coma?" I asked.

The doctor smiled at me. "Yes. He's already okay. He's just taking a nap. Don't worry, he'll wake up in 4 hours or so."

The doctor left, after advising us on what to do and not to do when Blue wakes up.

Clyde and I sighed in relief. Blue is okay. He's okay. He's finally okay.

I turned to Clyde and hugged him. He keeps on patting my back, silently telling me that everything's gonna be alright. I was about to say something to him when the door suddenly burst open.

"GUYS! There's something wrong with Cyrus. He can't remember." Blake put his hands on his knees, panting like crazy.

That alarmed both Cyrus and I.

"What do you mean? This is not a time for jokes, Blake." Clyde said, walking towards Blake.

"I'm serious!" Blake defended. "I thought nagjojoke lang siya. He slept for a while and when he woke up he's like "who the fvck are you?' Binatukan ko pa nga siya eh. Pero nagalit siya sakin. And then I realized na he's not joking."

I sighed. "Have you called the doctor?"

"Yeah. Tinitignan siya ngayon. I better go. You guys coming?"

I looked at Clyde, then at Blue. Blue's finally okay and now Cyrus? "Yeah. We're coming."

There's definitely something wrong with Cyrus. Nung pumasok kasi kami sa room niya, nagwawala siya. He was shouting at everyone and he's fuming mad.

"Let go of me! Fvcking asshole!" Cyrus shouted at the nurse holding him.

"Calm down, Cyrus." The doctor told him, trying to soothe him. But looking at Cyrus' state, this just worsen his mood.

"Who the fvck is Cyrus?! Is that me? Tell me you asshole! Is that my damn name?" Pagpupumilit ni Cyrus habang pilit na tinatanggal ang hawak sakanya ng dalawang nurse.

Napanganga ako. Cyrus never shouted at someone respectable like that. He is someone who always told me to respect others. Unless hindi talaa sila karespe-respeto. And now? He's the one yelling and cursing.

"I SAID LET GO OF ME YOU FVCKING-" hindi niya na natapos ang sasabihin niya kasi the nurse already injected something on his arm that made him fall asleep immediately.

The Doctor instructed something to the nurses before he turned to the door and saw us gawking. Sinenyasan niya kami na mag-usap sa labas. We followed.

"Doc, what's wrong with him?" Blake asked.

The doctor sighed. "He has amnesia. Don't worry, it's just temporary. He hit his head in the pavement too hard. When we first checked on him, okay naman siya. Late nagregister yung shock. Kaya ganun."

We were all quiet for a while. Then Clyde spoke up. "Pero bakit siya nagwawala, doc?"

The doctor sighed again. "Because he can't remember anything. His head is a blank space. And he's scared. Kaya siya nagwawala. He's scared of not remembering anything. I suggest you let him be for this night. Bukas niyo nalang siya puntahan."

And the doctor left.

Nagkatinginan kaming tatlo. What the hell is this?
