EVERYTHING went far, Josh and Levi aren't like themselves at this moment. Is this the image of our true soul when we fight for love? When we turned out to be monsters ourselves without knowing it? When we turned out to be something that ruins the peace for the love we're trying to defend?

Gulong-gulo na'ko sa mga nangyayari. Was this the extension of my life-long punishment? Do I deserve this all?

If this was my fate, then I accept it. Ngunit may mga naaapektuhan nang dahil sa akin, at ang sakit no'n isipin.

Stains of blood are everywhere, cursing are echoing around, and two of them who's fighting because of me.

"Levi!" Sigaw ko nang bumagsak siya sa sahig buhat ng suntok galing kay Josh. "Tama na!" Paulit-ulit kong sabi ngunit wala 'atang may nakakarinig. Base sa mga nakikita ko sa mga paligid ay hindi ko napigilan ang pagtulo ng mga luha ko. They're hurting each other physically and emotionally.

Hindi ako makaharang, dahil alam kong mapupuruhan ako kung sakali man. Nag-iinit silang dalawa, malala na 'to.

Levi stood up from the floor when Josh suddenly punched him in his stomach that made Levi threw up blood. Hindi ko na kaya, nagkakapatayan na sila.

"Ano, 'yan lang ba ang kaya mo Levi? Tayo!" Josh shouted like a lunatic one. Napangisi naman si Levi na ikinataas ng mga kilay ni Josh.

"I don't care if you defeated me this time. All I know is, you will never win Demi's heart." Levi said coldly but with intension, oh God. Levi, please be careful.

Because of what he heard, Josh approached Levi to punch him but Levi turned sideways and caught Josh's neck. "I'll cut your breath, now." Levi uttered like a bad guy. Josh tried to punch him but he's out of reach dahil mahaba ang mga kamay nito.

At this state, malapit nang mawalan ng hininga si Josh dahil sa mahigpit na pagsakal ni Levi sa kanya.

"Levi, tama na. Please..." I spoke to him. Later did I knew, he heard my words. He looked at me in the eye, at nakita kong nawala ang alab nito. Unti-unti na siyang bumibigay sa galit na kinokontrol ng katawan niya.

Hanggang sa nakita ko ang isang bagay na nagpatindig ng balahibo ko.

Josh was keeping a knife in his pocket all this time.

"Levi, lingon!" I shouted abruptly when I saw the danger in his front. Napabitaw naman ito kay Josh at muntikan na itong masaksak ng kutsilyo.

Levi laughed. "Is that how you defend yourself? In a dirty way? Do you think Demi was impressed?"

"Yes, fuck. I'll do everything for the sake of her! You, what will you do?"

"To keep you away from her." Levi spoked that made my heart beat twice than the usual. "You said that you know her better than I do. Where's the proof? Was it all a lie?"

"Fuck, no!" Josh cursed. "You don't know everything, you shit!"

"I know everything about her. Because I like her." That passage of him made my head spin entirely. It's like my heart is about to jump out of my ribs. Did I really heard him right? Levi... likes me?

"No... I love her, I love Demi. Both of us confessed. Now, let her decide. Be a fair player, Josh. But based on what I saw this time, I know I had the advantage over you." That made Josh outburst his anger.

I need to make something. Let this be over, this confrontation is helping my heart skip its beats.

Josh pointed his knife on him. He was about to stab Levi when I suddenly ran in the middle of the chaos and...
