Till The End

Chapter 5

Drew's POV Part 3

And Someone signed me up for love.
I didn't want it.
And Now I can't live without it.

I park in front of my apartment. But as I stop the car's engine she breaks this wall of silence.

"I want you."

I looked at her and I noticed how close is she. I distanced myself from her  but when I did she grabs my face and push her lips to mine.

I didn't answer because I was shook. But hell! There was an eagerness as She kissed me. This time I lose my self control and answer her kisses.

She's now on my top and that's when I realized we're still at my car. I open the car door and carry her inside the house without breaking the kiss until she touches the bed.

I removed my clothes and she did the same leaving only our undergarments.

Again, we kiss. My hands move to her body memorizing every part of it.

When I knew she was ready I positioned myself in front of her and was ready to enter her when she opens her eyes that looks like she was awaken in her dream and on that moment she pushed me hard that I lose my balance and fell on the floor while she screams.

There was horror on that scream.

That feels like...

She was running away in her dark past.

I abruptly stand and was about to hold her when she stood as well.

"No! Don't touch me!"

She accidentally bump the lampshade that causes the light to die.

It was now dark in the room.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I worriedly asked her.

She didn't answer.

I step forward while she take two step backward.

"H-huwag kang lalapit!" (Don't come near me!)

But I didn't listen to her. Damn! What is happening?

Until she reached the wall.

I hold her shoulders.

I felt her tremble.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Heeeellllpppp!!!!! 'wag niyo akong sasaktan! Please!!!! Tama na!!! Bitawan niyo akoo!!!" (Don't hurt me... Please Stop... Let go off me.)

"Hey, Colline. This is me Drew! Hey!"

She is still struggling.

Scratch... I'm feeling her nails buried in my skin.

No matter how much she tries to struggled I didn't let her go. I just hugged her.

And every time she struggled

I just hugged her tigther.

"Tama na... Please..." She pleaded. (Please... stop)

"shhhhh... I'm here I'll protect you."

After saying that she stop struggling.

She just cry. So I just let her weep.

And all I can do is to hug her.

Rubbing her back hoping she'll calm soon.

Meanwhile, she slowly calm down.

I look at her and I saw her already sleeping. I carried her in my bed and clothed her. I pulled the cover to keep her warm.

I just watched her sleeping. I tuck the strands of hair in her ear. She's peacefully asleep now. Different from what happened a while ago wherein fear is crippling in her angelic face. I know at that time that she have a painful past. That no matter how she tries to run, her dark past will still run after her.

Maybe what happened to us ignited her memories to remember what happened to her.

I need to find out.

I was about to stand when she holds my left hand.

"stay..."

It's just a whisper but  heard her.

"I will, honey. I will."

I kiss her forehead. I know at that moment that I need to protect her.
