CHAOS AND STORMS

“cassidy! javler!” sigaw ko nung nakita kong natumba na rin si cassidy sa harap ni javler na wala naman tama pero pansin kong hindi ito makahinga kaya rin nanghina bigla.

“wow, she died from a freaking heart attack” rinig kong imik ni guile sabay tumawa ito. tuwang tuwa itong may namamatay sa isa sa amin at parang demony na rin kung umasta ito.

thorn was different story, i knew my mistakes would drive him madder than a drunk man pulling tantrums of how miserable his life is.

i knew that thorn was hiding something and it was my cue to hide mine which is wrong, i regretted it since the start even now.

hindi ko inakalang aabot kami rito at sinisisi ko ang sarili ko, hindi rin siguro magkakaganito si thorn kung nagsabi lang ako noon pa.

i thought about what cassidy had said, maraming inuuwing babae si thorn at doon pa lang ay para akong sinaksak sa puso na nagawa niya manloko nang hindi ko nalalaman.

i looked at thorn and cried, alam kong hindi na maibabalik ang dati at nangyari na ang lahat kung susubukan pa namin itong ayusin.

“so, what should i do with your trash?” guile suddenly spoke earning a loud scoff from thorn. he was insulting me and i can see thorn eyeing us both.

“ano bang gusto mo sa akin at sinasaktan mo ako?” imik ko rito at pilit na tinutulak ang kamay niyang hawak ako pero malakas ito at wala ako magawa.

“oh please willow, aren’t you with kreed when he posted a fake scandal of me and archer?” madiin na sabi nito habang si thorn ay galit na nakatitig sa akin.

i looked down in guilt and shame because i couldn’t deny guile’s words, i was with kreed that time at wala naman ako magawa kahit pigilan ko ito sa gusto niya.

at lalong hindi ko rin alam na talagang kinalat niya ito, it’s not even a real scandal and as he said, it was fake and it was just a random video of two guys fighting inside the campus.

ang layo maging scandal nung video pero dinibdib ito ni guile dahil alam niyang makakarating sa mga magulang niya ito.

“matagal ka na pala ginagago nung dalawa pero ngayon ka lang nakaisip ng paraan para maghiganti” sabi ni guile at nang-aasar pa ito.

sa sobrang inis ko rito ay gusto ko na lang na siya yung maunang mamatay sa amin kung sakaling tutukan siya ni thorn ng baril.

i had enough of him talking as i elbowed his stomach and bit his hands that was holding me while i heard him groan in pain. 

nakawala ako sa mga hawak nito at lumayo sa kaniya, now i am in the middle of him and thorn. agad naman itinutok ni guile ang baril sa akin at ganun si thorn pero kay guile ito nakatapat.

“you really thought i’d let you get away with this? magsasama kayong dalawa sa impyerno” inis na sabi ni guile sa akin at inihanda ang baril niya.

nataranta ako at hindi alam ang gagawin hanggang sa sumigaw si thorn na dumapa ako so i followed him, i duck my head and covered my ears knowing i’m close to them.

i heard two gunshots pero rinig kong sa iisang direksyon lang iyon bago ko minulat ang mga mata ko para lang makita na nakatayo pa rin si thorn.

i saw him still standing with no gunshots in his body, it means that guile was the one who got shot instead. i turned to look at him slowly falling on the floor and he dropped his gun beside him.

isang tama sa noo at isang tama sa dibdib, hindi ko inakalang hindi siya matatamaan pero napansin kong kay thorn lang din galing ang mga putok na iyon.

i think he ran out of bullets and nothing came out when he pulled the trigger so thorn had the chance to shoot him.
