Bodyguard || JHOCEY

Ouch!

Stacey : JHOANNA?! I screamed as I ran towards her fastly.

*Crowd taking pictures and videos*

*Click! Click!*

*Whisper, whisper*

Stacey : Jhoanna, hindi magandang biro to. Please gumising ka. I kept shaking her body to wake her up.

I quickly got my phone and dialed the ambulance as I put my hands around her wound. The person that stabbed her unfortunately got away. But that left me wondering, were all my previous encounters.. anonymous..?

Stacey : Jhoanna.. I started crying at the sight of her unconscious body.

The ambulances came in time, luckily she wasn't dead on arrival. I was in the ambulance with her unconscious body.

I could feel my heart break at the sight of her sacrificed body. I kept blaming my self while we were heading to the hospital.

"Kasalanan mo to, kung hindi nalang kayo nag milk tea, edi sana hindi pa napahamak si Jhoanna"

"Stacey, tingnan mo ginawa mo."

Self-blaming kept overflowing my brain.

I held Jhoanna's bleeding hand. This was my first time not being disgusted at the sight of blood.

Nurse : Pulse! 170!

Nurse 2 : Bandage the wound! Ready for surgery! Voices of nurses filled the room.

Stacey's Mind : Jhoanna, kapit lang..

We arrived in the hospital exactly 15 minutes later. I could feel Jhoanna's pulse slow down. Her breathing slowly fading.

Don't die on me Jhoanna.

The nurses immediately put her on a gurney and immediately rushed her to the ER.

I sat down on the floor with my hands on my head, blaming myself for what happened. I cried and cried until someone tapped my shoulder. It was Mikha.

Mikha : Stacey, are you okay? I've seen what happened in twitter. You're viral on twitter. What happened? She asked curiously as she held her hand for me to stand up.

I rejected her offer to help me stand up as I avoided her.

Mikha : Stacey. She held my hand

Stacey : Ilang beses na nga kitang sinabihang lumayo? Ahh, mahigit sampo. Wag mo nang isiping gawing labing isa. I forcefully shook my hand to let her hand go before walking away to sit down on a nearby hospital chair.

Mikha : Stacey, hindi ako titigil. She followed me and sat down beside me.

Stacey : I pulled out my phone and set a timer for 5 minutes. Talk. I said coldly.

Mikha : I'm sorry if linoko kita. I'm really sorry baby. I was drunk. Really drunk. Also, I'm sorry na nakipag away ako kay Jhoanna. I didn't mean to give her a black eye. She mercifully begged for my forgiveness.

Stacey : I paused for a second. Ikaw yung nagbigay ng black eye kay Jhoanna?! I shouted.

Mikha : Well.. yeah. You see baby, I'm the owner of her house. She dosent pay on time, so I tell my boys to beat her up. She said arrogantly.

Stacey : Napaka sama mong tao, Mikha. I don't know why I fell inlove with such a person. I said coldly as I pause the timer and went to check on Jhoanna's surgery room.

Mikha : Wait! Baby! My 5 minutes aren't up yet! She ran up to me.

Stacey : Be ashamed of yourself, Mikha. You're lucky we're in the same girl group. I rolled my eyes.

Mikha : Please baby, I won't beat her up if she doesn't pay her rent on time. She shamelessly begged.

Stacey : Pagiisipan ko. Dun ka na nga! So kadiri. I rolled my eyes as she jumped in joy.

Mikha : Yes! May chance pako! She ran away playfully.

Not gonna lie, she was acting a little cute. I smiled.

After a few minutes of waiting, the doctor finally came out of the surgery room to give me the news.

Doctor : Who is the guardian of.. Miss Robles?

Stacey : I raised my hand, Ako po Doc. Kamusta po siya?

Doctor : Ah yes Ms. Sevilleja. She is currently in a coma. She is expected to wake up in a few hours or tomorrow. The doctor clicked his pen.

Stacey : Noted po Doc, pwede po bang bisitahin? I said while looking at her hospital room.

Doctor : Ah, yes na yes po Ma'am. Iwan ko na po kayo. He said with a friendly smile on his face.

I smiled back and headed to Jhoanna's room excitingly.

I sat on Jhoanna's bed. By her side. I fixed her hair as I started tearing up.

Stacey : Jr, ang kulit mo talaga noh? I said with tears filling my eyes. Bakit ang tapang tapang mo kasi..? Diba sabi ko wag mo na habulin? I sobbed. Pasalamat ka, mahal kita.

Jhoanna : Mahal din kita, Stacey. She slowly opened her eyes.

I felt my world stopped as I heard her voice. She was awake this whole time?!

Stacey : KANINA KA PA GISING?! I said nervously.

Jhoanna : Mm. Nalilimutan mo atang astig at matapang ako. She coughs.

Stacey : Ayan! I pulled out my tumbler from my purse and gave it to her.

Jhoanna : Thanks. She slowly drank the water from my tumbler.

Stacey : I rolled my eyes, Whatever. Wala kang narinig kanina. I said avoiding eye contact.

Jhoanna : Are you deaf? Diba sabi ko mahal din kita? She held my cheeks.
