"So why do we get hurt when falling in love?" Tanong sa amin ni Jasmine. Kasama ko ngayon sina Ralph sa mall. Nag bo-bonding lang. But wala si Clarrence. Busy daw. Whatever. Busy his ass. Lumalandi lang yun! Yun pa?

"Because everything that falls gets broken" sagot ko without even looking at them.

"Ooooh! Deep!" Sabi ni Kurt which made everyone laugh. These london kids gives me headache.

"Hmmm I can't help but to ask you this, do you have a problem? Is something bothering you? You can always tell us. C'mon were your friends" Ken said. Something? It's actually a someone.

"Correction- best friends. And Yeah. Pansin ko rin yun. Your always spacing out. What happened to you? Eh diba okay nanaman kayo ni Clarrence?" Jasmine said. Oo nga't OK na kami. But hello! Ang hirap kayang magka gusto sa best friend mo. Try niyo!

"Hmmmm, maybe that Clarrence is the reason why our princess is spacing out. Ano? Let's teach him a lesson" Ken said and grinned. Loko!

"Don't do that. Ano ba kayo! Don't be too hard on him. He's trying his best para lang bumawi" I said to them.

"Sorry" Ken apologized. I patted his head and smiled at him. We stayed there for a minute and napag desisyunan naring lumabas

Aalis na sana kami sa starbucks but I saw 5 tall and scary looking guys. They were looking at me. Those 2 men looked very familiar. They were wearing shades and leather jackets. Oh gosh! I'm scared right now. The guy with a big scar on his right cheek waved at me. Oh my freaking gosh! What the hell!

"Help! Help! Mommy! Daddy!" I heard voices. I looked around but  it looks like I was the only one who heard it.

"Ano ba ang kailangan niyo? Why are you trying to kill me!? What do you want?" It was my voice. I was hearing my own voice!

"Hey Crystal! Ok ka lang? Namumutla ka!" Ralph said. Hindi ko siya pinansin. Nakatingin parin ako dun sa limang lalaki. Ano ba tong nangyayari sa akin?

Visions came rushing back to me. I saw myself running. And then there were 2 guys with guns chasing me. They were laughing. Oh god!

"This is not good! Let's take her out of here" I heard Jasmin's voice. Her voice was shaking. I covered my ears with my hands. But I could still hear those sounds.

"Mga hapoy kayo! What do you want from me?"

"Tumahimik ka! Ikaw si Crystal Jade Parker diba? Finally ay nahanap ka narin namin! Matutuwa talaga si boss kapag nalaman niyang nahanap kana namin! Ikaw ang magbabayad sa lahat ng nagawa ng walang hiya mong daddy!" Guy 1

"How much money do you need? I can give you anything. Just please don't hurt me"

*pak*

I groaned in pain. First time akong nasampal.

"Hindi namin kailangan ang pera mo! Papatayin ka namin. Light Kimberly Jones!"

"P..please...please don't hurt me" I whispered. I begged. And everything went black.











"Oh gosh! What happened to my daughter?" I-is that mommy?

"Tita. Hindi din namin alam. We were okay pa naman kanina. Pero nung lumabas na kami sa starbucks ay namutla agad siya. She was covering her ears as if she was hearing something. And then she said something about not hurting her. Para siyang takot na takot. At ayun, she collapsed" Ralph! Nandito din siya! I want to open my eyes but ang hindi ko kaya.

"Maam. Can we talk in private?" I bet that was the doctor. My eyes are still closed. Oh gosh! What happened?

Third person's POV

Lumabas si Dr. Corpuz kasama si Mrs. Parker. Halat sa mukha ni Mrs. Parker ang takot.

"Maam. I think unti unti nang bumabalik ang memorya ng anak niyo. And it's not healthy. When she finds out about what happened to her in the past, it may cause brain damage. Kagaya nalang ng nangyari kanina, her brain is not processing well kaya siya nahimatay" Doctor Corpuz said. Agad namang namutla si Mrs. Parker

"Dapat na niyang malaman ang lahat. But I don't want her to suffer again" she whispered to herself.

Crystal's POV

I slowly opened my eyes. Nandito parin ako sa hospital. Ano bang nangyari? Ugh! Bakit masakit ang ulo ko?

"OMG! She's awake" nagsitakbuhan naman ang mga kaibigan ko palapit sa akin.

"Anak! How are you?" I looked at mom. She was so pale.

"Ugh! My head hurts a lot" I said. I heard Jasmine giggle. I looked around, wondering if he was here. And Yes. Nandito nga siya. Nandun siya sa likuran and he looked so worried.

"Baby, nag alala kami ng mommy mo" then someone kissed my forehead. It was dad. Marami pala akong pinag-alala. Hay nako!

Lumapit si Clarrence sa akin at hinawakan ang kamay ko. He stared at me and then hugged me.

"C-Clarrence!" I said. I can't breath.

"Crystal! Sobra akong nag-alala sayo. Sorry kasi wala ako dun. I'm such a jerk. Sory talaga" kahit na nahirapan akong huminga ay I hugged him back. It was not his fault.











Bukas ay puwede na akong umalis dito sa Hospital. Hay nako! Ang boring! Kinuha ko yung phone ko amd texted my gang. Including Clarrence

"Pupunta ba kayo dito? The boredome is killing me! And walang nag babantay sakin T3T"

***sent***

Agad namang nag reply si Kurt

"Ano ka ba! Matanda ka na! You can handle yourself! Hahaha jk! I'm on my way. Jasmine is with me too"

Nag reply naman agad ako

"Yey! Please do bring chocolates, okay?"

Ewan ko ba. But I want to eat something sweet.

"Crystal, can't come :( sorry. Si coach kasi eh"
Reply naman ni Clarrence. Di na ako sumagot pa. Tsk bahala nga siya.

Bigla na lang bumukas ang pintuan at pumasok si Kiara with Tita Sofia. Kiara is Clarrence's sister and tita Sofia is their mother.

"Achi Crystal! I miss you. What happened to you? Ahia said you fainted" Kiara said and hugged me. Oww! I missed her so much!

"I miss you too baby. Kayo din po tita. Meh. I don't know what's happening to me too" sagot ko. Kiara laughed. Lumapit sa akin si tita at niyakap ako.

"You take care of yourself young lady" tita said. I nodded and smiled. We talked for a couple of minutes until they decided na umalis na. May appointment pa kasi si Tita.

Ang tagal naman nila Jasmine :3 nakakainip kaya 😓😓








"Dapat na niyang malaman Henry!"

"I don't want to hurt her feelings again" sagot naman ni Daddy. I pretended na natutulog kahit na I'm wide awake.

"She has to know. Sooner or later ay malalaman niya din to" ano ba ang dapag kong malaman?

"Yes. She will. But not now. Just not now" dad said and heaved out a heavy sigh

Ano ba talaga ang dapat kong malaman? Naguguluhan na ako!
