MACKENNA

I AM UNABLE TO EAT properly. I couldn't get more than five hours of sleep. I can't stop thinking about and worrying about my sister. I just...want to be beside Savanna or take her with me so Foster wouldn't be able to hurt her again.

Sobrang sakit lang malaman na 'yong taong mahal na mahal ng kapatid ko ay nagagawa siyang saktan. Hindi lang emotionally kung hindi physically.

When Savanna first introduced Foster to me when they started dating, I had my doubts. Foster is the type of guy who, in an argument, would rather use violence, as I've seen him beat the shit out of some guy before when we were partying. But I couldn't have imagined... I couldn't imagine him doing it to my sister as well.

I accepted him for my sister because I thought he would be able to take care of him, but I was wrong. Definitely wrong! Hanggang ngayon nag-ngingitngit pa rin ako sa galit sa t'wing maiisip ko 'yung mga pasa at sugat na nakita ko sa katawan ni Savanna.

Kahapon ay binisita ko ulit si Savanna at nag-kwentuhan ulit kami, pero sa t'wing binabanggit ko si Foster at mga pananakit nito sakaniya ay agad niyang iniiba ang usapan. Ipinakita rin niya sa'kin kahapon 'yung mga nakatagong baby clothes, baby bottles at kung ano-ano pang gamit na binili niya nang patago para sa baby niya. Nakalagay lahat 'yon sa isang box at nakatago 'yon sa storage room nila para hindi raw makita ni Foster.

"Sav..." I called out. She was busy folding the baby clothes back to the box that she had proudly shown me a while ago.

"Hmm?"

"About the baby..." I began to stutter. Agad siyang napatigil sa pagtutupi sa hawak niyang onesies. Before continuing with my question, I let out a sigh.

"When are you planning to tell Foster about the baby? In a few months, your baby bump will grow even bigger, and you won't be able to hide the baby from Foster anymore."

I don't want to put Savanna under any distress, but I do need to know all of her plans. Everything. I'm tired of being in the dark. And I'm not going to let her do it on her own. I will make sure that I stay beside her no matter what.

Savanna took a deep breath out. I could tell she still didn't have any plans just by hearing her sigh deeply.

"I-I... don't know yet," she replied before sighing again.

"Why don't you just tell him the truth? Baka sakaling—"

"No!" When her voice raised, I was taken aback. Her voice trembled with dread, and I could hear it. Mabilis gumala 'yong mga mata ni Savanna sa paligid ng kuwarto na tila ba natatakot dahil may mananakit sakaniya. "I'm sorry, Kenna. I didn't mean to yell." mabilis na paghingi niya nang tawad.

"Is he... gonna hurt you if he finds out that you're pregnant?" I boldly asked with my fist clenched in anger, but she remained quiet and didn't answer my question, so I didn't push any further.
