CHAOS AND STORMS

i walked silently through the corridors of our building. nag-uuli uli lang ako para magpahangin because of what happened earlier.

hindi ako makahinga sa room at parang sumisikip bigla dibdib ko matapos lahat ng naririnig ko na hindi naman dapat.

i just had to leave the room as quickly as possible because if not, i’ll suffocate from what i’ve just heard.

hindi ko naman inaasahan na babanggitin ni kreed lahat ng yun and it has been bothering me for almost two weeks now.

nainis lang agad ako lagi the way kreed talks about it like nothing is wrong with it. he could've just let us play for fun at di sana yung masyadong personal na bagay sinasabi niya.

while walking, i can sense someone following me pero baka guni-guni ko lang kaya di ko na pinansin.

i reached the stairs since aakyat dapat ako and sa rooftop sana ako pero naalala kong malakas ulan kaya sa second floor na lang.

sobrang tahimik ng daan ko paakyat and only the clanking of my shoes can be heard on the floor, nothing else, but parang may naririnig ako mula sa taas kaya binilisan ko pag akyat. who knows hindi lang kami ang na-stuck dito?

“ano ba naman to basang basa” i mumbled.

basang basa yung daan siguro kasi ibang direction yung hangin at pati yung ulan ay nadadala papunta dito kaya pati yung railings basa na.

“paris?” i was startled and quickly turned around para tingnan kung sino tumawag sakin.

it was thorn. i was confused pano siya nakarating dito kung di ko siya nakasalubong? like, iisa lang naman yung stairs pataas as far as i've remembered.

“how did you get up here before i do?” i asked him.

he shrugged with his emotionless face and his eyes are fixated on his shoes small tapping the floor na parang may iniisip na malalim.

oh i suddenly remembered may isa pa nga palang daan paakyat at yun ay sa kabilang side ng building kaya siguro di kami nagkasalubong dito sa inakyatan ko.

“what brings you here?” since ang tahimik nagtanong na lang ako. i don’t even like quiet situations alone with a guy unless if it's one of my closest friends and hindi kami gaano close ni thorn.

“nag-uuli lang, may nangyari sa room kanina” he said and he’s definitely not talking about what kreed said.

i noticed how his eyes are kinda red probably umiyak or something at nasa bulsa lang mga kamay niya na kalmadong naglalakad until nakasalubong ko siya dito.

since nandito na rin kami, tumambay na lang kami sa tapat nung isang room na di rin naka-sarado then he started telling me everything after i left the room where they were playing earlier.

we were on the same boat and i could tell that he's not even mad about willow cheating on him with kreed but rather sad and torned? i mean, it really hurted him emotionally.

sino ba naman hindi masasaktan dun? ilang taon na kayo magkasama then matatapos lang sa wala? but yet the main reason is cheating.
