I Can't Save Us

Chapter 17

Tricia POV

I was surprised with how RJ reacted earlier siguro dala na din ng kalasingan. I'm just thankful na dumating si Y/N. Hindi pa din sya bumabalik, nag aalala na ko baka nagpang abot pa sila ni RJ. I was about to open the door when I saw Y/N jogging back to the car.

Pag pasok nya ng sasakyan nilagay nya mga gamit namin sa likod sabay harap sakin. Dahan dahan nyang hinawakan yung mga kamay ko at tiningnan..

Y/N: "Masakit ba to?"

Tumango lang ako, hindi ko napansin na namumula at mukhang magkakapasa yung hinawakan knina ni RJ.

I saw how Y/N clenched her jaw while inspecting my wrist.

Tricia: "Okay lang ako Y/N, wag kang masyadong mag alala."

Y/N: "Pano kung hindi mo ko kasama kanina Tricia. Paano nalang kung.."

I hold her by hand at napatingin sya sakin sa ginawa kong yun.

Tricia: "Thank you for saving me."

Y/N: "Can I ask you something? Can you not entertain him kahit na as a friend, please."

I just nodded at her request. Plan ko din namang hindi na kausapin si RJ at kung kakausapin ko man sya it will be just for work.

We never talked about it. Hanggang sa makauwi kami. Inalalayan nya kong makababa and even hold me close to her, pag akyat namin sa condo, she ask me to sit down sa sala, she fetch me water and anti hang over pills.

Y/N: "Drink this, para makapagpahinga ka na din."

Tricia: "Thank you." she kneeled in front of me, holding my hand, and just looking at my wrist

Y/N: "I'll get you an ice pack for that."

Tricia: "I'm okay. Thank you kanina, I'm so sorry you have to witness that."

Y/N: "No need to thank me Patty, I'm always here for you." she said looking at me. "Hatid na kita sa kwarto nyo?"

Tricia: "Can I sleep with you?" I asked. Siguro dala na din ng alak kaya ang lakas ng loob kong sabihin yun. She looks like contemplating.. "Okay lang naman if you're not comfortable kay Ate nalang ako tatabi."

Y/N: "No, Okay lang. Let's go?" She asked holding out her hand.

We went inside the room, and I saw her rummaging inside her bag looking for clothes to wear.

Tricia: "Y/N you can just use mine, top drawer may mga pangtulog dyan."

Y/N: "Okay. Thank you." sabay kamot sa ulo. After getting pajama for me and her, pinauna ko na syang mag shower.

After showering I saw her talking on the phone, pagkakita nya sakin, she immediately said goodbye and hang up the phone.

Tricia: "Let's sleep?" I asked while tapping the spot beside me.

Y/N: "You can take the bed, dito nalang ako sa couch." she smiled.

Tricia: "No, sasakit yung likod mo dyan, sleep beside me please?"

She sighed and sleep beside me.

Y/N POV

Nakatulog agad si Tricia. Naka talikod ako sa kanya, at hindi padin ako makatulog. I decided to chat Jill.

Y/N "Hello, you awake?"

Jill: "Yes Dr. Gising pa. How are you dyan sa bahay? Will be home this weekend catch up soon."

Y/N: "Eto naman akala mo di tayo magkasama lagi sa US Haha."

Jill: "Haha. Kamusta ka ba dyan? Kamusta kayo ni Ate?"

Y/N: "Eto katabi ko ngayon, do you know Dr RJ?"

Jill: "WHAT? Katabi mo si Ate? Ang bilis mo naman."

Y/N: "Jill focus haha katabi ko sya matulog pero tulog sya, walang nangyari. So sino si Dr RJ?"

Jill: "Okay kala ko isusumbong ko na kayo kay Mama e. Haha si Dr RJ alam ko kawork yan ni Ate nanliligaw pero alam ko laging dinedeny ni ate. Why? History repeats itself ba?"

Y/N: "No naman. I'm just worried about your Ate. Anyway matulog ka na. Ikamusta mo ko kay Tita."

Jill: "Nako eto nga nagmamadali tapusin ang mga ganap dito sa Naga at miss ka na daw nya."

Y/N: "Miss ko na din si Tita. Hayaan mo mag catch up tayo soon. Goodnight Jill."

Jill: "Goodnight Y/N"

I was about to close my eyes, when I feel Tricia hug me. Where technically spooning right now, I can feel her breathing, I wanted to hug her back pero ayokong maulit yung dati kaya pinigilan ko ang sarili ko. I just let her hug me and fall asleep.

Tricia POV

Hindi talaga ako natutulog. But I faked it para mayakap ko sya. I miss her. I miss her so much. How will I tell her I still love her, na sya parin talaga..

I need to do something, anything. I need to show her na mahal ko sya. I hug her tightly as I fell asleep.
