Out Of My LEAGUE

CHAPTER - 28

Jade's POV

"Marco why are you here?" Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nandito si Marco sa bahay nina Lauren.

Pag pinaglalaruan ka nga naman ng tadhana.

"Bryle is my bestfriend, i guess pwede akong pumunta dito anytime diba? Ikaw? Akala ko ba busy ka? I mean kayo?" He's being sarcastic now. Naramdaman kong mag sasalita si Pier kaya hinawakan ko na agad siya to stop him dahil ayoko ng gulo.

"Were here to visit Lucas and Lauren. Sumama sa akin si Pier because gusto niyang makita si Lucas sa personal. Nothing else." I told him pero halatang hindi naman siya naniniwala.

"Really Jade? Kaya ba 3 weeks mo na akong hindi masyadong kinakausap? Kasi you're doing a favor for Kenon? Oo nga pala baka naawa ka lang sa kanya. Dude pasensya kana ha, pero mahal ko si Jade kaya please lang wag mong gamitin yang kondisyon mo para kaawaan ka niya." Kondisyon? Ano bang pinagsasasabi ni Marco?

"Marco ano bang sinasabi mo? Bakit ko kakaawaan si Pier?" Naramdaman kong hinawakan ako ni Pier to stop me.

"Jade its alright, uuwi nalang siguro ako para makapag usap muna kayo ni Marco." I bob my head at him baka yun ang magandang paraan para mabawasan ang tensyon.

"Why are you leaving Kenon? Nagpapaawa ka na naman ba kay Jade. Bullshit! You're being an asshole for living in with my girlfriend because your fucking sick? Ano, kailan ka ba mamatay para makuha ko na ang buong atensyon ni Jade?" Pier is sick? Kailan pa? Bakit wala akong alam. I look at Pier. He show me his weak smile.

"Pier ano ang sinasabi ni Marco? You're sick? Fever? Anong klaseng sakit?" I ask him at mukhang nangingilid na ang luha niya.

"Im sorry Jade." He bow his head at umupo sa couch.

"Wow! So hindi niya alam? Mas pinapahanga mo ako ngayon Kenon! Because you're fooling her around. Fuck you dude! Please die as soon as possibl----" he didn't finish his words because i burst out.

" MARCO STOP IT!!!" I scream over my lungs just to stop him.

"Yeah! thank you Jade. Maybe i should stop. I shouldn't be here in the first place right? I even ruined your bonding. Its funny that you look like a happy family earlier and i am just fixture man who suddenly appear in the picture. Hindi dapat ako naniwala sayo. Mali palang sumugal ako sayo." He left after he said those words.

Gulong gulo ako. Wala akong maintindihan sa nangyayari ngayon.

"Jade" i look at Lauren na buhat buhat na si Lucas. Samantalang tumakbo naman palabas si Jhared para habulin si Marco.

"I think i should go Jade. Im sorry for destroying your relationship with Marco. Dont worry i will talk to my parents to drop the engagement so you can be free to be with him." He walk towards the door but i stop him.

"Wait Pier." He stop for a while and look at me.

"A-are you really sick?" I stutter, im afraid that Marco is telling the truth.

"CAD , Coronary Artery Disease. Im dying Jade. Im sorry. " He left me dumbfounded upon hearing those words to him.

Halos hindi ko maigalaw ang katawan ko dahil sa narinig ko mula kay Kenon. Bakit hindi niya sinabi? Kailan pa?

I slowly sit down on the couch and begin to catch my breath.

"Jade. Im sorry." Lauren hug me tight as my tears started to fall.
