Chapter 16

Save me

Matinis na busina ang narinig ko sa aking earpiece. Isa lang ang alam ko, nasa panganib ang kung sino man ang nasa kabilang linya.

"The anatomy of..."

I am heartless. I can't get enough of what I did to Bree. I know he's rough and treats me like shit at first. But I know Bree's being like that because it serves as his coping mechanism to what he experienced. He can't trust anyone including me. On the other hand, I lost my partner. Valerie's nowhere to be found. I'm still thinking of what is the purpose of me staying in Death's house.

"Your heart can pump blood. Kung nag-aakala kayo na ang purpose lang niyan ay maiinlove kayo sa isang tao, well you're wrong. Science explain something that us human cannot understand," saad ng professor namin.

Sa earpiece ko naman ay nagkakagulo. They were screaming Jigs's name. What happen!

I silently raise my hands and smiled at my professor. "Sir? Can I go out?"

He seriously nod, "You can."

Agad akong tumayo at sinabihan si Collin na sabihin sakin kung anong nangyayari. "Kuya Collin, what's happening?"

He was panting, "Marissa, stay away from me first okay? We're in trouble and I can't handle two people at the same time."

Tumawa ako, "Kuya —" Hindi na ako pinatapos sa pagsasalita at napahinga ako ng malalim. They still don't trust me.

Agad akong napaigtad ng makaramdam akong may nakatayo sa likod ko. Lumingon ako at ganoon nalang ang gulat ko ng makita ko si Valerie na sobrang pagod at maduming madumi. She smiled at me with tired eyes. "Hello, M-Marissa..." Bigla naman siyang napahawak sa utak niya at nawalan ng malay.

I don't know what to do! Wala akong alam sa rescue rescue!

"Biglang sumakita ang ulo ko..." rinig kong saad ng isang babae sa gilid.

"Baka buntis ka..."

Fuck, Val! Tumayo ka.

Hinila ko siya at nilagay sa balikat ko. This is my last straw kung hindi ko ito kaya baka iba na ang bibigyan ko sa trabahong 'to.

"M-Marissa... A-anong..." I saw Pres looked at me with so much confusion.

Agad naman akong napaigik sa bigat, "Huh? It's not what you think! She lost her —"

Pres immediately helped me. "M-Marissa, sa Clinic." I also understand how he cares for Val... Sa tingin ko sa araw namin dito sa school nagkakagusto na siya kay Valerie. Well, I can't blame him for being like that. Valerie is somewhat a Casanova if he's a boy. She likes seducing boys and play for them.

Nakarating na kami sa clinic at nginitian lang ako ni Pres. He's ashamed? What should he be ashamed of?

"Anong problema miss?"

I explained to the nurse what happen. But actually I don't really know what happen!

"Nurse... can I leave first? I have to talk to someone." I can't stay here... there are traumas triggered.

I was confused of the calendar in this clinic. It's already May but why is it still December. I looked at the sky when I came out from the clinic and breathe heavily. Baby, please...

I cupped my tummy. "Kapit lang anak, mommy's gonna be okay."

I pushed the turn on button of my earpiece, "I found Valerie."

Wala akong matanggap na sagot sa kanila. "Guys, h-help..."

Una at panghuli ko na 'tong panghihingi ng tulong sa kanila. I will stand firm on my own now. Vic told me to be tough so I will be the toughest.
