Trigger warning : Attempted suicide

"Val!" I heard Marco's voice that made me shiver.

Mabilis akong umalis sa room after dismissal. I was about to turn right when he grabbed my arms.

Napahawak din tuloy ako don dahil sa higpit ng hawak nya. He's smirking at me while looking straightly at my face. I tried to act normal.

"I just want to tell you something." Nakangising sabi nya. I looked around to maybe ask for a help because I'm really terrified. Fuck shit, bakit ba ako natatakot?

"What?" I asked blankly. Masking my emotions over and over again.

His smile widened, "Sabi ko kay Dad kuhanin ka nya after bar."

I blinked at his statement.

"Really?" I tried to sound surprised.

He nodded enthusiastically.

"Kaya don't worry na after bar, my Father got you." He even winked.

I smiled at him before removing his hand on my arms.

"S-Salamat. Pero diko pa sure kung...magba bar ako." I lied so I can leave but he tightened his hold on me.

"Huh? Bakit? Gusto mo ba pati barops-."

"No! Not that. P-pinag-iisipan ko pa kasi." Pagdadahilan ko pa na nagpatango sa kanya.

I removed his hand again but he held it tighter that made me closed my eyes hardly.

"Alis na ako," I said casually like nothing is happening.

"Ganon ba? Gusto mo ihatid kita?" He offered but I immediately shooked my head.

"No, no. I can manage." I said and step backwards. He's still not letting go of my arms.

"Lianna?" I heard Damian asked that made my eyes widened.

I was about to aggressively shoved his hand away when I felt Damian's hold on my waist.

"What are you doing on my wife?" He coldly asked. Nakatitig sya kay Marco na nakangiti pa din. He glance on Marco's hand on my arms.

"Can you remove it? It's disrespectful." Damian said and looked back at Marco's face.

Marco stared at him too before slowly removing his hand on my arm. After he removed it, everything seems so fast.

Damian immediately put me behind him before I saw him punched Marco. I can't help but to shout in shock.

"Damian!" I shouted and tried to pull him away but he kept on punching Marco.

"You think I don't know you? You motherfucker. Stop bothering Lianna or else I'll fucking drop you out." He said before stopping. He just punched him thrice. So Marco is still conscious.

"Chill." He chuckled before looking at me.

"I was just talking to her-."

"Then stop talking to her! Fucking stalker."

"Panong stalker?" I tried to asked him after we got home. He glance at me. His angry eyes turned gentle the moment it laid on me.

"Are you hurt?" He asked and tried to get my arm pero iniwas ko.

"You didn't answer my question." I said and looked at him.

He sighed, "I'm always seeing him, okay? I see him everywhere when we're together. I even saw him in my condo a lot of times!" He answered that made me closed my eyes.
