Val

planned to not sleep this night. Since tomorrow is our Finals exams for 3rd sem. I worked, and studied for hours trying to focus and to pass

My whole room is a mess, but i didn't give a fuss about it since i was trying to focus.

I was sleepy but kept going, i took some pills to kill my sleepiness.

All i did was Read, highlight, write. Until i couldn't even understand what i was reading so i had to start over

until my nose bleeds. I had to stop and grab some tissues. Studying until your nose bleeds makes me realize how much i risk my life just to get my mom's attention.

Kulang nalang patayin ko sarili ko just to pass, For her.

"Okay, you may now start."

Mabilis lumipas ang oras, when we had to hand out the papers i felt dizziness.

I fell down on my table but got up, my vision was blurry. "Val, what- are you okay" I couldn't see her face but i know it's Chiara

echoes running through my head, "Yes. I'm fine.." i lied knowing I'm not.

I dozed off again, blacking out and waking up again. "Valerie are you okay?" The prof asked me getting my pen that fell off the table

my Nose bleeds endlessly.

"Yes.. Yes-" last thing i remembered I blacked out

I woke up in a room, my eyes met the ceiling completely white. The room was quiet.

"Val- how are you feeling" salubong ni chiara when i sat down, "Did i finish the test?" I asked

"You don't remember-"

"Did i finish the test? Answer my question! you know naman what will happen if i didn't finish nor pass that test! so did i finish the test?" i asked again frustrated, fearing getting scolded by failing.

"Ye-yes, you finished it, just calm down." Chiara said and sat down next to me, "why am i here anyways? I'm fine"

"You're not fine! the nurses told me nahimatay ka daw because of stress, Natulog ka ba? o hindi?" She asked me like she was my mother

"Just leave me alone, I'm going home" I ignored her scolding me, i got up to leave but she stopped me. "Fine, if you're not going to listen then don't, but please don't stress your self again baka ako pa ang kabahin or mauunang umiyak kaysa sa magulang mo if anything happens to you" this is what you call, best friend.

"Ikaw lang naman talaga ang mauunang umiyak at kakabahin, magulang ko baka mag party pa mga yun knowing something happened to me" i said leaving the building with my stuff

My head still hurts, I only remembered blacking out. my shirt was stained with blood. guessing my nose bleeds again

i went to car park to go home since uwian na And kasabay ko si chiara, she doesn't have a car still kase. luckily i finished the exam, i just hoped my prof didn't tell on me about this incident

I'll get scolded again, When i got home, my mom wasn't home yet.

"Lou kain ka muna" Manang Terry called, i saw that nakahanda na ang pagkain sa table. I looked at the time and it was already 8:46 pm

"May sasabay poba?" I asked, "ikaw lang muna, wala pa magulang at ate mo" Manang terry said, "Sige po. aakyat ko lang po ito" I went upstairs to put all my stuff and bag away

When i got down, my Parents were home so was my sister.

Kuya wasn't going home. He stays at a condo near the company. Dad was looking at me while going down the stairs

i sat down and waited for them to arrive at the table since mom said you have to wait until everybody gets on the table, because if you start eating and everybody is still talking or not in the table thats disrespectful.

"How's the exam? did you do well? did it went well?" Mom asked placing the table napkins on her lap, "it's all good. I gave all my best and knowledge on that exam hoping i would pass." I also gave my soul.

"That's Good. " She talked and asked my sister how's her day going. Dad kept on staring at me for time to time until i finished my dinner

I sat down on the couch watching TV, when dad sat next to me, "Heard what happened. Alright?" He asked me

"Knew what?" i asked the obvious "You fainted, your nose bleeds. Don't worry didn't tell your mom. asked your prof to keep it a secret too." He said staring at the tv and smiled at me

"Thanks, Yes I'm alright."

"You know, you need to rest to sometimes. Don't stress your self also since that's the cause of you fainting. Don't ask how i know, Alam mo naman mahal na mahal ka ng pinsan mo" He smiled, Saying i shouldn't ask but he answered it anyway.

Mom was in the kitchen cleaning up with my sister. Me and Dad talked about mom and school.

mostly mom, Mostly school.
