"What the fuck was this?!"



Kaming tatlo nila Xyrus at Mitch ay nandito ngayon at gulat na gulat na naka tayo sa may tapat ng dining table kinabukasan after umalis nila Theo, when we all saw a note here from Klaire and Liam saying that they will also leave and hindi man lang muna nila kami ginising bago sila umalis!



"We'll just need to figure something out. We'll be back soon also, don't know where and when but we will. Smiley face, Klaire" Pag basa ni Mitch sa sticky note na kinuha nya na nakadikit sa dining table kanina



Napasapo nalang ako sa noo ko habang si Mitch naman ay sinasabunutan na yung sarili nya ngayon out of frustration "What the fuck is that something they need to figure out and bakit hindi man lang muna nila tayo ginising?! Putangina!" Irita at galit na galit na sabi naman ni Mitch as she just buried her head in the table dahil sa sobrang pagkairita



"After Theo and Ryegen sila naman ngayon, Xy what are we going to do now?!" Kahit ako ay hindi na ring napigilang ang mag panick, not knowing what to expect to happen to us anymore. Pati na rin don sa mga kaibigan naming umalis, I was just really hoping that they're all safe right now



"Shush it's okay, they're fine" Mahinhin na sabi naman saakin ni Xyrus as he walked towards me and gave me a hug while caressing my hair gently to calm me down so I just also did burried my face on his masculine chest to stop myself for crying. I'm so devastated right now, halo halo yung nararamdaman ko ngayon and I felt like I was gonna explode anytime soon



"We most stop them, baka hindi pa sila nakakalayo!" Natatarantang sabi naman ni Mitch as she was about to run out of the kitchen pero agad naman syang pinigilan ni Xyrus kaya sumunod naman agad ako sakanila



"Xyrus ano ba?! We need to do something! Hindi naman natin pwedeng hayaan na umalis nalang silang lahat at mamatay!" Angal naman ulit ni Mitch kay Xyrus bago nya bawiin yung kamay nya away from him kaya napabugtong hininga nalang si Xyrus at napamasahe nalang sa sintido



"We can't go out, baka kanina pa sila umalis while we're sleeping. They're probably away by now" Sabi naman nya kay Mitch kaya wala na rin namang nagawa si Mitch but to kneel down on the floor and start crying. Agad namang syang nilapitan ni Xyrus at sinubukang pakalmahin



"Why are they keep leaving for fuck's sake?!" Parang nababaliw na tanong ko na rin out of frustration dahil sa sunod sunod na mga nangyayari saamin. Napasabunot nalang din ako sa sarili kong buhok dahil sa sobrang inis at pag kadismaya "Are we a burden that they decided to leave us?" Naiiyak na tanong ko kaya agad namang napailing nalang si Xyrus



"We're not, okay? Guys calm down, they probably had a reason why they did go. Nabasa nyo naman yung note na iniwan nila Klaire diba?" Dagdag naman ni Xyrus para pagaanin yung mga nararamdaman namin ngayon at para pakalmahin na rin kaming dalawa ni Mitch but we still couldn't get our shit together and I don't even know why, I'm so worried for them so bad!



"If they really need to do something bat hindi nalang nila tayo sinama?! It would be better kung hindi tayo mag hihiwalay-hiwalay!" Sigaw naman ni Mitch ngayon bago sya tumayo sa pag kakaupo nya sa sahig kanina



"Guys, please. Get your emotions together, we couldn't let that to be one of our distractions right now so pakiusap kumalma kayo" Naiirita naring utos ni Xyrus saamin but yet he still manage to say that in a gentle way para hindi na palalain pa yung sitwasyon naming tatlo ngayon dito



"How could you expect us to be calm Xy, huh?!" Galit na tanong naman sakanya ni Mitch as she distance herself away from him and glares "We just lost another two and ni hindi nga natin alam kung anong rason nila. Hindi nga rin natin alam kung buhay pa sila right now!" She added



"Xy please let's go find them" I begged him kaya naman nalipat ulit yung tingin nya saakin, I could see how his gaze became gentle and calm again as he shifted it to me pero umiwas nalang din agad sya ng tingin



"We can't, I wouldn't allow myself to get you both killed" May diing sabi naman nya habang nakaiwas pa rin ng tingin ngayon. Mitch just scoffed and stormed off out of the kitchen kaya agad naman namin syang sinundan until the three of us reach the living room where a three rifles left is placed



Mitch immediately grabbed one rifle bago sya mag lakad papunta sa may pintuan palabas kaya agad naman syang sinundan ni Xyrus but also immediately stopped when Mitch pointed the rifle at him. Agad naman akong napatakip sa bibig ko using my hands out of shock when Mitch did that



"Mitch what the fuck are you doing, have you lost your mind?!" Iritang tanong ko sakanya as I was about to walk towards her and was about to attack her but Xyrus immediately grabbed my hand and stopped me kaya nalipat naman agad sakanya yung tingin ko as he shakes his head at me



"Mitch please don't let your emotion control you, get yourself together" Xyrus gently said to her, trying to convince her not to go



"I'm sorry Xy but if you can just let your friends die, ibahin mo'ko sayo" May diin at seryosong sabi naman ni Mitch bago nya buksan yung pinto at lumabas. Nataranta naman agad ako kaya agad akong tumakbo palapit sa sofa at kumuha ng isa pang rifle don bago din ako lumabas para sundan si Mitch kaya sumunod din naman agad saamin si Xyrus



"Mitch stop, please!" I shouted at her habang hinahabol ko sya sa gitna ng kalsada but medyo nahirapan din akong tumakbo dahil sobrang basa at madulas ng kalsada ngayon dahil malakas ang ulan



"Althea!" Mas binilisan naman ni Xyrus ang pag takbo nya para makalapit agad sya saakin when he saw me tripped and fall on the ground dahil sa basa at madulas na kalsada habang hinahabol ko si Mitch kanina na nakalayo na saamin ngayon. Napaiyak at napasapo nalang ako sa noo as I watch her run away from us. Maybe it was a bad idea to go to manila after all



"Xy we can't just let her go! Come on!" Tumayo na din naman agad ako sa pag kakadapa ko at sinundan ulit kung saan tumakbo si Mitch kanina, sinubukan pakong pigilan ni Xyrus at sinabing bumalik na lang din kami sa bahay pero hindi na din nya ko napigilan kaya sumunod nalang din sya



We just continue running under the heavy rain kahit hindi na rin naman namin alam kung saan na kami dinadala ng mga paa namin ngayon dahil hindi na rin naman namin nakita pa si Mitch, I was just following my guts and guessing where she did go so we didn't stop running



We just like continue running for an hours, nonstop, while I was crying so bad habang si Xyrus naman ay nasalikod ko lang at sumunod saakin. Buti na nga lang din ay wala kaming nakakasalubong na mga ghouls kahit na nasa gitna kami ng kalsada at nasa mabuilding na lugar kami ngayon



Napahinto at natumba nalang din ako sa gitna ng kalsada ng hindi na kinaya ng tuhod ko kaya agad namang lumapit saakin si Xyrus at inalalayan akong tumayo "Come on Althea, we can't stop here, it's delicate" Sabi naman nya habang tinutulungan akong tumayo



"Xyrus where did she go, we must find her, we couldn't let her die!" Wala sa sariling sabi ko kay Xyrus habang hindi pa rin tumitigil sa kakaiyak. I felt like I was already going crazy right now and I don't even know why



"She's Mitch, she wouldn't let any bad thing happen to her. You know her well enough Althea so lets just go find a shelter for now first" Sabi naman ni Xyrus na basang basa na rin ngayon dahil sa ulan just like me, as he wipes my tear with his thumb kahit na nabasa lang din ulit yung muka ko dahil sa ulan



Natigilan at napaupo naman kaming dalawa agad sa kalsada ni Xyrus ng biglang may mag paputok ng baril sa may likudan namin to kill a human ghoul behind us from a car that was approaching us right now



Nanatili lang ang tingin ko don sa itim na military truck that was approaching us right now until it finally reach and stopped infront of us. May isang naka-itim na military suit naman ang bumaba don at lumapit saamin as he put an thermometer beside our ear and agad din naman syang bumalik sa sasakyan nila when it lit up color green that I don't even know what does means



"They're uninfected, survivors, isasama ba natin sila?" Rinig kong sabi ng isa sakanila as they picked us up and bring us inside their mini truck. Hindi ko na rin alam kung ano yung nangyayari at sumama nalang sakanila without hesitation and emotion at my face at all. I felt like I already lost it
