Anxiety

My jaw dropped as I saw the clip, she took my phone to see what I was watching. She gasps after she sees it.

"Anti si Jussien." She said with concern.

I thought everything was already under control, I thought we could protect Mr. Brito but in the end they still win. They still got him. Another child has taken away from a parent. How can I compensate for all of this? I'm responsible for all of this. Why am I always late in saving others? Everything that is going on around us is a painful ordeal. So much life has been taken away. This is too much.

"Hey." I went towards Mr. Brito's boyfriend who was silently grieving on the corner. He instantly wiped his tears and tried to be strong as I approached her.
"I'm sorry." Bullshit Shana, is that all you could say? It felt heavy to say this to the family members every time I attended their funerals. I feel like I don't have the right to be here because I know I am the reason for their passing.

"Pupunta sana kami next month sa Palawan para sa second anniversary namin pero....." He stated but can't handle his tears so I tap his shoulder. He really loves him.

"I'm really sorry." I said. I should keep on apologizing because I don't know what to do now. How can I ease their pain?

"Nakilala mo lang ba si Jussien dahil sa kay Alora?" He asked and I nod.

"He is a bright kid, he makes everyone laugh and I know he doesn't deserve this." I said and he cried again.

"Sobra naman tong ginawa nila sa kaniya, di makatarungan." He cried. Indeed. Actually I hate myself right now. Seeing him and Mr. Brito's parents cried over their son's death, I feel like I brought bad luck to the family. It all started in me. Everyone else, Leandel, Primo, my bellboy, nanay and Brito, all I could do is to attend to their wake, said my apologies and promised something that up until now, no progress. Such a shame on me.

"That's because he knows something." I said that makes him stop and look at me with his soaked eyes.

"Naalala ko na may sinabi siya sa akin." He sniffs.
"May narinig daw siyang pag-uusap sa kusina the night after ng party, wedding anniversary ata nila Ked pero tinanong ko siya kung sino yung nakita niya bigla na lamang siyang umiyak at nagsisisigaw." He was scared but what did he see and hear there? It could help us if he just told his boyfriend.
"At may minimention siyang isang box." Angelo added. That's the enemies thing. What could he possibly hear that night that makes him their target? So this enemy is really a bit closer to us.

"Did he mention a person?" I asked.

"Yun nga ang nakakapanghina eh dahil wala siyang nasabi, wala akong mapagbuntunan ng galit ko. Gusto ko na ding pumatay." He said with so much desperation. Another black mask guy was driven to death, a sacrifice from the enemy that was rolled out from school. It happened in school. I didn't know he still goes to school and refuses to be home-schooled.
"Nalingat lang ako sandali tapos a....ayun-ayun na...." He cried again. He's broken of course. I'll be as miserable as this if this also happens to me, that's why I keep chipmunk by my side 24/7. If I have to make an absence from work, I would just to make sure she's safe.

The two best friends can't believe or they can't accept that their friend died or should I say killed. He was too young to die and too brave to fight. He was just a victim because he got involved in my family's matter which is not his fault. If I can just turn back the time. The trio is not complete anymore.
