Ether of Anarchy (Manchester I - ON HIATUS)

Chapter 6

I gasped in the air as I hardly opened my eyes. I was feeling dizzy because of the motion of my body, then I realized I was being carried by someone—Felix. Felix was holding me. His face was close to mine. As he noticed my gaze, he looked at me.

His eyes became more worried, "Hang on, Lia. We're going to the hospi—"

I tried to speak, but there's no sound, I can't make a freaking sound, "N-no hospital."

"Don't talk, Lia. Just stay awake, okay?" He worriedly said.

I looked around and we were in the backstage, "5...bring me to room five." I murmured hardly.

He leaned his ears on my mouth, "What?"

"Room 5." My voice were raspy to understand but I hope he did.

"Room 5? Your dressing room?" He confusedly asked and I weakly nodded.

Hanggang sa marinig ko ang boses ni Miss Schott sa likod namin kasama ang mga kaibigan ko, "Omg Lia, okay ka lang?" I heard Jacob asked.

Lexi asked too, "Presi, gising ba siya?"

Miss Schott spokes in perturbed, "Hospital, call an ambulance."

Felix responded, "She doesn't want to, Miss Marga. I'll take her to her room."

Goddamit! I can't waste more minutes.

"Now, Felix." I managed to form my voice clearly.

He hesitantly nodded hanggang sa marinig ko nalang ang pagbukas ng pinto. Ramdam ko ang tagaktak ng pawis sa noo ko at panginginig ng kamay ko kaya mas lalo akong kinakabahan.

"What now?" Nagaalalang tanong ni Felix pagkaupo sakin sa sofa.

I was catching my breath and my vision were starting to mess with me, "My bag." Nagpapasalamat ako kahit papaano ay buo na ang boses ko.

Dali daling hinanap ng mga kaibigan ko ang bag at nakuha 'yon ni Rose kaya agad siyang lumapit sakin, "Lia, ano gagawin? Oh gosh, please tell us, Lia." Taranta netong tanong ng bigla kong mabitawan ang inabot niyang booksack ko.

I cleared my throat, "Get the syringe."

Her eyes widened, "A-ano?"

"Just do it!" I frustratingly yelled that made her startled, "Felix, do it." I shift my eyes to Felix since she's not moving.

Hawak niya na ang syringe at nagaalalangan tumingin sakin, "What do I do now?"

I groaned, "On my leg, right upper side, do it, Felix. I don't have much time."

His hand were shaking kaya wala akong nagawa kundi buong pwerang kunin sakanya ang hiringgilya at walang sabing sinaksak sa kanang hita ko.

I heard them gasp, but I just closed my eyes and calmed myself. It took a minute before I regained all my senses. I opened my eyes just to see their flustered faces.

Para silang nakakita ng multo.

I composed myself in my seat then looked around my friends, Felix and Miss Schott, "Thank you, but I prefer to be alone." I plainly said.

They looked at each other. Miss Schott spokes, "Are you sure you don't need hospital?"

I forced a smile and nodded, "It's just a panic attack po. I'm okay now."

Iris spokes, "Lia, sure ka? Pwede ka naman naming samahan."

"Oo nga, dito na muna kami." Jamillah agreed and the others.
