Fixing A Broken Star |⭐

Chapter 11

Our mini party continued at wala kaming ibang ginawa kundi kumain, mag asaran at tumawa. The night was so perfect, or so it seemed.

"Sir may tao po sa labas", it's one of Jace's maid

My heart beats so fast, hindi ko alam kung bakit pero kinabahan ako. It's not Marco right?

"Sino daw siya?"

"Marco daw Po sir",

Agad nanlaki ang mata ko. How did he know? I didn't bother to tell him about this because I know he wouldn't let me.

"Ako na haharap" agad akong umiling dahil hindi ko gugustuhin na si Uno ang humarap sa kaniya.

"No, Uno please!... I should go"

I didn't wait for their answer at agad akong tumayo para pumunta sa labas. Wala pa manlang ay kinakabahan na ako.

I saw him leaning on his car with so much anger. He looked at me with darkness on his eyes. Malayo pa ay lumapit na siya sa akin para lang kaladkarin ako palabas ng gate.

"Why are you here Marco?"

"No Hershel, I should be the one asking you! Why are you fucking here?"

"Marco it's Jace's birthday, natural na andito ako dahil invited ako"

I don't know if he noticed the hint of sarcasm in my voice.

"Let's go home!"

"No! I'm not going home with you",

Nagdilim lalo ang paningin niya at hinawakan ang dalawang braso ko Ng sobrang higpit.

"And what are you gonna do? You're going to flirt with them?"

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya.

"I'm not flirting with them, you asshole!"

"Akala mo ba hindi ko Alam? You were flirting them when I'm not around"

"You're being illusional Marco, this past few weeks you're not yourself anymore, you're a living monster now!"

"I SAID LET'S GO HOME!" he shouted right in front of my face. And was about to slap me when someone stop his wrists. And I'm surprised to see that it was Kylo.

"Pre, ayaw pa nga daw sumama eh"
Mahinahon man ay mababakas mo doon ang galit. I've never seen him like this.

Maya maya pa ay lumabas na din silang lahat.

"Hersh, go inside" it's Uno

I just nodded but before I can able to enter the gate. Marco said something that made me come with him.

"You'll go home with me or I'll call your parents",

"Putang*na ka talaga!" Hindi na napigilan ni Jace ang sarili at sinuntok si Marco. Napaupo naman si Marco sa sahig, kaya agad akong lumapit sa kaniya.

"Guys please, I'll just go home", naiiyak man ay pinigilan ko ang sarili kong maluha sa harapan nila. Dahil Alam kong sa oras na may tumulong luha sa mata ko, hindi nila ako ibibigay kay Marco.

"Hershel putangina naman!" Avril is mad now.

Hindi ko na Lang iyon pinansin. Tinulungan ko tumayo si Marco sa pag kakaupo.

He opened a car door for me. Before I get in I look at them and mouthed "I'm sorry"

Aryana and Michelle were tearing, while Avril was tilting up her head and Everytime she does that, she's stoping herself from crying. The boys were staring mad at Marco. I saw pain in their eyes. Because for the nth time. I didn't choose them over Marco.

Nang makaalis kami doon ay saka lang tumulo ang luha na kanina ko pa pinipigilan.

When we arrived at our house dumiretso ako sa kitchen. I think I need water. I get a glass of water for myself while Marco followed me here.

"You're so rude Marco!" I can't control my anger towards him anymore.

"I don't know what happened to you, but if you'll continue being like that I think it's better to end this here. And I don't love you anymore" with all the courage that I have I manage to tell him the truth.

He grabbed my arms once again tightly.
He leaned me on the counter and get something from behind.

My heart beats so fast when I saw a knife on his hands. I'm so scared right now.

Nilaro Niya iyon na parang isang demonyo.  Itinapat niya ito sa leeg ko, naramdaman kong nasugatan ito ng kaunti at isang maling galaw ko lang ay tutusok ito ng tuluyan sa leeg ko.

"You really think you can get rid of me that easy?"

He's like a mad man. I can't recognize him anymore.

"You can't just go, you are mine Hershel"

"At Yung mga kaibigan mo, masyadong pakialamero. Isang lapit mo pa sa kanila.... hindi mo magugustuhan ang gagawin ko",

What he said made me tremble in fear. I can't lose them. I can't afford to see them hurting. I know what Marco is capable of, his dad is powerful. Hindi siya magdadalawang isip na gawan ng masama ang mga kaibigan ko.

I can't let them get hurt. Kaya naman masakit man para sa akin ay tumango ako while my tears were streaming down my face.

I always chose Marco and my parents over them. But I will always choose them over myself.

After being satisfied he left. I was so miserable. Kahit pagtaas ko sa kwarto ko ay hindi ko magawa ng maayos dahil nanginginig pa din ang tuhod ko sa takot.

I cried so hard that night until I dozed off to sleep.

When I woke up, I heard my phone ringing. It was Uno. I wasn't planning to answer it but then when I saw their missed calls last night na umabot Ng almost a thousand, I got guilty.

"He-"

"Putangina naman Hershel! Bakit ngayon ka Lang sumagot? You made us all worry. Are you ok? Bat hindi ka sumasagot?"

Natawa ako sa kaniya. Kahit kailan talaga si Uno.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me"

"Paano kami hindi mag aalala? Gago talaga yung syota mo. Bakit kasi Hindi mo pa hiwalayan Yun?"

I tried Uno. But I can't risk all of you. I can't.

"We're good now. I have to go. Love you. Always", I didn't wait for him to answer.

I fix myself and convince myself to be ok.

The whole day I busied myself doing household chores. I don't wanna think about it. It's just so tiring. And I don't want to make myself tired. Because when I get tired, I might give up. I might think of ending my own life. And I don't want that to happen.

The weekdays came, and I don't know how to start it. I don't know what to do with my friends. Maybe I'll just pretend  that I'm not feeling well or I'll just busy myself with research.

Marco fetch me and before he even let go of me, he reminded me that he's watching me.

I waited for the bell to rang so that my friends won't have time to ask me what happened. Alam kong magtataka sila dahil I've never been late on class.

On the break time I hurried and bring myself to the library. I even heared Uno calling me but, I pretended that I didn't hear him.

Ganoon Lang ang nangyari hanggat mag uwian, hatid sundo din ako ni Marco that's why they really don't have time to talk to me. Every break or vacant time I would always go to library or rooftop so they won't be able to have a chance to talk to me.

Doing this thing is killing me. Wala akong mapagsabihan. Wala akong kakampi.
