Laurel:

yves.

where are you?

nagparamdam bigla ex ko.

i don't know where did he got my number.

i'm trembling right now and i'm panicking.

Yves:

Kenji is on his way to pick you up. 'Yon ang last message niya sa akin.

Doon ka sa matao pumwesto, okay?

Tell your boyfriend about it.

Laurel:

mamaya sa byahe.

Yves:

Don't panic. Mabablanko utak mo. Hindi naman kayo same school, Lau.

Hindi ka niya mapupuntahan d'yan.

And I'm sure that Kenji will protect you from him. Ikalma mo lang, Lau.

Laurel:

baliw 'yon.

paano kung may gawin 'yon kay kenji?

ayaw ko.

hindi ko kaya na madamay siya.

ako rin mababaliw kapag nagkataon.

Yves:

Laurel.

Hindi niyan magagalaw si Kenji. Hindi ako papayag.

Hindi rin ako papayag na hawakan ka niyan, okay?

Nasa poder kita. I won't let him touch you.

And also, if Kenji's presence will help you with your panicking, ask him to stay with us for a while.

Laurel:

okay.

Yves:

Lau.

I love you.

Don't be scared, okay?

I'll do anything to keep you safe.

Laurel:

okay.

kenji's with me na.

Yves:

How are you feeling? Still scared?

Laurel:

a little.

Yves:

Malakas 'yan manapak. May nabungal 'yan noon.

Laurel:

heh.

sasabihin ko na sakaniya 'yong message.

Yves:

Okay.
