Chapter 24: Behind His Past . . .

(Jake's POV)

"Your talkative mouth is annoying me!!!" I closed my eyes by the time he pointed his gun at me.

"Kuya!!!"

*bang!**bang!**bang!*

Did my body went numb? I don't feel any pain...Or...Am I already dead?...

"J-jake..." I suddenly opened my eyes as I heard her voice, No...It can't be...Nakita ko siyang nakatayo sa harapan ko at mabilis ko din siyang sinalo bago siya bumagsak ng tuluyan sa sahig.

(Rein's POV)

Bago pa tuluyang iputok ni Andrei ang baril ay mabilis akong humarang sa harapan ni Jake at dito ko naramdaman ang pagtama ng bala sa katawan ko. Funny, It is only a small metal with a great impact then I felt the sharp pain from it. Nakita kong binaril ni Blake si Andrei sa magkabila nitong binti, lumingon naman ako sa likod ko and I saw him, his eyes still closed. Nahihirapan na akong huminga at mag-salita pero pinilit ko pa din.

"J-jake..." he suddenly open his eyes, shock and fear can see through his eyes. Sinubukan kong lumapit papunta sa kanya pero hindi na kinaya ng katawan ko at bumagsak ako pero hindi ako bumagsak ng tuluyan sa sahig ng sinalo ako ni Jake. He slowly lie me head down on his lap.

"Rein...No...Why?...You took it...It should be me!" he's crying...I slowly reach for his face and wipe away his tears.

"D-don't...cry....I-I'll be...fine..." The pain I felt suddenly went numb but I didn't mind it.

"No...y-you can't leave me...you can't leave me again! Please!" Nararamdaman ko na ang pagbigat ng talukap ng mga mata ko.

"Jake...I-I Love you...Always and...Forever..." he hold my hand tight and kissed my forehead.

"No...Please...don't close your eyes...don't..." I faintly smiled at him as my eyes are slowly closing.

"Rein...Rein!"

(Jake's POV)

"Rein...Rein! No! Open your eyes! Damn it!!! Open your fucking eyes Rein!!!" naramdaman kong may tumatapik sa likod ko pero hindi ko sila pinagtuunan ng pansin.

"Jake! Nandyan na ang ambulansya!" dinig kong sigaw ni Liam. Dali-dali kong binuhat si Rein at nagmadali akong lumabas. Outside, I saw 2 Ambulance waiting, at may lumapit sa akin na dalawang nurse at kinuha nila sa akin si Rein, they lie her down in the stretcher then they put her inside the ambulance, Sumakay na rin ako, they put an oxygen mask on her. Me? I'm just holding her hand tight silently praying. Please, don't take her away...

Minutes passed, we immediately arrived at the nearest hospital, I'm sure na nakasunod sa amin ang ibang members. Mabilis kaming tumatakbo papunta sa emergency room bago pa ako makapasok ay hinarangan na ako ng nurse.

"Sir, hanggang dito na lang po kayo."

"Please, I want to see her! Please, Let me in!" bago pa ako tuluyang magwala sa labas ng ER ay may mga pumigil na sa akin and by this time, alam ko nanjan na ang ibang members ng D7.

"Jake, calm down!"

"Kuya! Uminahon ka lang!" nagulat na lang ako ng nasa harap ko na si Aby at bigla akong sinampal.

"Hindi magugustuhan ni Rein kung magwawala ka dito. Ngayon, uminahon ka at hintayin natin ang pag-labas ng doktor, tatawagan ko na din sila Tita at Tito para malaman nila ang kalagayan ni Rein."
