Lia's Point of View

I didn't know what happened next but I just realized that I am standing in front of the cliff.

How did I ended here? I felt a hand on my arm and I saw Trevor holding me. Like I am a fragile thing that he might unwantedly broke.

"You don't have to keep everything in yourself."

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya pero wala sa kanya ang atensyon ko. Hindi ko rin alam kung ano ang sinasabi niya sa akin.

"Malia,"

Sinubukan kong tumigil sa pag-iyak bago huminga ng malalim at sinubukang makinig sa kanya.

"Just shout everything." he added.

Hindi ko naintindihan ang sinabi niya. Not until he faced the city and shouted like a crazy man.

He told me to shout like he did but I hesitated. Makakatulong ba ang pagsigaw ko?

I breathed before I closed my eyes. Bahala na.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" I screamed from the top of my lungs.

I gasped for air for few seconds after I shouted.

"Isa pa!" he cheered.

I shouted for few more eardrums breaking shout. Slowly, rain drops are falling on me.

"AYOOOKOOO NNAAAA!" I shouted as I felt my tears falling from my eyes again.

The rain is getting stronger and wilder.

"PAGOD NA AKKKOOOOO!" I held my chest as I feel the pain is getting worse.

Everything gets hard to be visible because of the rain.

"hindi ko na kaya..." I almost whispered before my knees get weaker and weaker. I fell on the ground as I cried on my hands.

Hindi ko na pinigilan ang emosyon na halo-halo at gustong kumawala.

Suko na ako...

Bakit ba sobrang malas ko?

Hindi dapat ganito ang nangyayari sa akin. Hindi ko dapat nararanasan ang ganito.

Sobrang sakit...

Ano na ang gagawin ko?

Ayoko na...

I felt Trevor hugged me. He hugged me like no other, tighter that gives me support and strength.

We get soaked for few minutes. I didn't stop crying because everytime that I must cry, I kept it within me.

Sobra ko itong pinipigilan.

Pero dahil kay Trevor, inilabas ko ang lahat ng sakit na nararamdaman ko, lahat ng hirap, lungkot, at pagod.

"Let's get in the car." he said.

Inalalayan ako ni Trevor pabalik sa sasakyan. Nakatulala lang ako sa pwesto ko, nararamdaman ko ang bigat ng paghinga ko, nagsisimula nang uminit ang pakiramdam ko.

"Here," hindi ko pinansin si Trevor. I just felt something he put on my shoulders and wrapped it around me.

It gives warm and comfort to my body that is really getting even hotter.

I heard my phone rings but I didn't even look at it. It rings for more than my mind at this state could count.

Trevor answered the phone and put it on loud speaker for me to hear it.

"Miss Constancia?"

I should go home now. My son needs me. I am sure that he is very afraid and worried.
