He who she loves

Chapter 20

Lumipas na agad ang isang linggo na para bang isang araw lang. May pasok na naman and my wound is still fresh. Akala ko nung una ay madali lang itong gagaling, but it looks like malalim din pala. 

"I heard what happened, Brielle. Alam ko naman na matapang ka but not to that point. What if something worse than that happens?"

Here we go again. I know what I did was really wrong but I just can't turn a blind eye. She needed my help. Pinuntahan niya nga ako kahapon to say thank you and asked for forgiveness dahil nasaktan ako. Sinampahan niya din ng kaso ng boyfriend niya, or should I say ex boyfriend. That's good. Never settle for less, know your worth.

"Stop nagging me, please. I had enough"

Because of what happened, lagi akong sinisilip ni Kuya Leon to check kung nasaan at ano ang ginagawa ko. If something happen again, uuwi na niya ako sa bahay. 

She rolled her eyes. "Bagay lang naman sayo" 

I pout my lips. "You're so mean"

"Here they are," Ansella whispered. It's Alexander and Phoenix. 

"How's your wound?" Umupo sa tabi ko si Alexander, at sa tabi naman ni Ansella ang boyfriend niya. I'm really happy for them.

"Pagaling na" nakangiting sagot ko, kahit sobrang sakit pa din.

"Stop meddling with people's business next time, Brielle" pangaral din ni Phoenix. Paano pa kapag si Liam pa. Bugbog na bugbog na ako sa sermon nila na alam ko naman na tama.

I just nod my head.

"Have you guys eaten?" 

Umiling si Ansella. "We're waiting for you"

Mamaya pang 1:30 ang klase ko, maaga lang akong pumasok para kay Ansella. Andami nga niyang binigay na pasalubong. 

Masarap daw ang Lunch ngayon sa cafeteria kaya nagyaya si Ansella pumunta dito ng maaga.

Habang nasa pila kami para sa food tray, nagulat ako dahil hinawakan ni Alexander ang braso ko na may bandage. 

"I was really scared when I heard there's a commotion in your unit. Scared that you might get hurt and you did. I shouldn't go home, in the first place. Hindi ka sana nasaktan"

Hinampas ko siya ng mahina sa balikat. "Hey, it was not your fault okay? Don't blame yourself"

"I'm really worried about you."

I tapped his shoulder gently and smiled to assure him that everything was okay. 

"I'll pick up your food tray, just wait at the table. No more buts and no, okay?"

How can I hurt this man? When he took care of me like this. I should straighten things up before it's too late.

"I saw Liam with Asher a while ago. I heard they have a game this evening" 

A computer game. Sobrang adik nila sa mga computer games. Though it's okay. Dahil hindi naman nila napapabayaan ang pag aaral nila. 

"Yup. I think kasama nila si Adam mamaya" sagot ni Phoenix.

"Want to watch their game?" Alexander asked. I shook my head. I don't really like computer games.

"Hmm. Alexander, can you spare me a minute after your class?"

Nagtitigan kaming dalawa ni Ansella. I know she knows what is running in my head right now.

"Sure"

Hindi pumasok si Liam sa klase namin kay Mr. Madrigal. Siguro he's preparing for that game. Hay, nako. I know kahit hindi pumasok ng isaw araw si Liam may maisasagot pa din siya sa exam kung meron man kinabukasan.
