Love How You Hate Me (Castel #1)

Chapter 51: Prince In Shining Armor

SEBASTIAN

"Hiro, Tangina mo naman eh!" I felt goosebumps run all over my body when I took the last shot Hiro forced into my hand.

"What was that?" I rolled my eyes when I felt Andy tap my shoulder.

"Dude, Can you kalma lang? That was tequila lang naman." Inis akong umiling.

"Tangina niyong dalawa. I don't want it anymore-" I licked my lips when I felt like every fluid in my body was about to escape my mouth.

"Isa pa, Bro. You're weak naman!" Pinilit ni Andy idiin sa kamay ko ang isa pang baso.

"Stop, Ayoko na niyan. Gross." It was their turn to roll their eyes.

"Man, Why do you even bother going to parties if you don't like drinking?" Asked Hiro.

"First of all, I like drinking. I just have low tolerance. Kaya when I say I don't want that anymore, Ayoko na." I firmly said, Slamming the cup on the table in front of us.

My eyes fell on the floor when I felt a heavy and sharp pang on my chest. Parang kaba or worse, Anxiety. I don't understand what I'm feeling but it doesn't feel right even at the slightest.

Napalunok ako. Para akong nauubusan ng hangin. It's like the space around me is getting smaller. I blinked multiple times before I looked back up at the boys

"What time is it anyway?" I asked. Andy checked the his wrist. One of my eyebrows rose when I realized na walang relong suot ang gago.

"Andy, You're not-"

"Oo nga, Pare! I'm not wearing a watch. Kasi wala akong pakialam sa time." Sarkastiko nitong pagputol sa sasabihin ko. I rolled my eyes.

"Come on, Man. What time is it? Really?" I asked as proper as I can even when I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Seryoso, Bro? What's the hurry?" Tanong naman ni Hiro.

"Oo nga, Pare. May hinahabol ka ba-" I stared at Andy when he cut himself off. Both of them were staring at me like I had something on my face. It's that or they feel what I'm feeling as well.

It's like this terrible gut feeling, But worse cause I dont really feel it in my gut. It's more like, In my heart.

"Sebastian? May problem ba, Bro?" Asked Andy.

"No... No. What time is it?" Hiro pulled his phone out of his pocket without taking his eyes off of me.

"Almost seven, Basti. It's early. Huwag kang mag-alala." Naging seryoso ang boses nito.

"Why- Why are you guys looking at me like that?" I breathed in.

"Wala naman, Dude. Are you okay?" Hiro asked. I nodded.

"I'm fine. Bakit?" I gave them a confused look. Kung maka-tingin ba naman, It's like my appearance changed out of no where.

"You're turning puti, Man. Siguro you should go home? You've been here all afternoon naman." I know Andy isn't showing it as much, But I'm sure he's worried.

"Yeah... I-I should go..." I stuttered. I didn't bother hearing what they have to say next when I walked away. I looked around the crowd. This isn't social anxiety, They all look fine to me? I'm god damn sure this isn't a panic attack either.

"Fuck..." I whispered when I slammed my door close.

For some reason, I drove my car as fast as I could to the safest and fastest route home. I don't know what's wrong pero kabadong kabado ako. Parang may masamang mangyayari o nangyayari. Hindi ko alam kung ano, saan o kanino. But it's bad.

I ever so slightly stepped on the breaks, Slowing it down enough to see what was happening on the side of the road but not enough to stop the car.

From my blurry vision and dark surroundings, I can barely see three large figures. In front of them is... A girl. It's a girl.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang mapagtantong hindi lang magkakasama ang mga ito. They were near eachother but whatever they're doing to her, It isnt good.

"Fuck no. Not on my watch." Mahina kong sabi habang mabilis na binubuksan ang pintuan ng sasakyan.

"Get away from her!" I grabbed one shoulder as fast as I could and landed a punch on his face.

Even before they could move another inch, I grabbed the girl's arm as fast as I could and hid her behind me.

"Sige, Lumapit kayo! I'm gonna fucking kill each one of you with no god damn mercy!" I heard my voice distort with the volume of my scream. I stared at the man I punched, Nasa sahig ito at hindi pa gumagalaw. Habang ang dalawa naman nitong kasama ay nakatingin sa akin.

Lalong kumunot ang noo ko when I realized what they were wearing.

"Uniforms..."

"You're cops." I let go of the girl's hand and quickly charged at the other one, Grabbing his collar.

"Who's your lieutenant?" Seryoso kong tanong dito, Tightening my grip on the smelly fucking collar.

"S-Sir Castel-"

"Putangina, Ayaw nalang sumagot!" I screamed again before spitting another punch on his face. When he closed his eyes, I threw him on the ground.

Malalaki itong mga lalaki. Kung hindi ko nadaanan ang babaeng nasa likuran ko, Unimaginable things would've already happened.

"You." The last standing police man took a step back and pulled out a gun with his hand shaking.

I didn't flinch. Just stared at him, Knowing I had the biggest armor and protection anyone could have.

I have my last name.

"Listen, You son of a bitch," I clenched my jaw before taking one step forward. With one of mine, He took one back.

"If you don't give me each of your names, I'll have the three of you drop dead out of no where in the middle of daylight when you least expect it."

"Sebastian," I heard the girl's faint voice call me. She must've recognized me.

"So, I'll make it easier for you. Just tell me your names or I wont rest until you're hunted down and six feet under." I couldn't explain the anger I felt with these filthy animals. Nararamdaman kong nanginginig ang kamay ko kahit na buo ang kamao ko.

"P-PO1 Jaden Rale, Anderson Ramirez a-at Jaime M-Marquez," His voice was weak and shaking.

"Do you like how it feels?" Inis kong tanong dito. Sinundan ng mga mata niya ang baril nang hatawin ko ito palayo. I heard it get dragged across the street.

I felt it.

I felt the hard metal gun hit the bones in my hand but I just couldn't care enough.

"Tumakbo nalang kayo. You can't touch a Castel." Walang emosyon kong saad when I heard two other men stand up from behind me. I faced them, Both shaking in fear.

"Get out of my face..." I heard my breath shake with deep anger. Hindi na nag-dalawang isip ang mga ito. Mabilis na silang tumakbo. I don't know where they're running to and I don't care.

"Miss, Are you oka-" My eyes widened when my headlights shined at her face.

"God damn it..."
