Santillian Series 1: Santillian in Distress

SD 2

South's

"Emergency! Si Lance!Napatayo ako at agad na sumunod sakaniya at nananakbo papunta sa field. Madaming nag kukumpulan na estudyante at kahit mga guro, ang mga department clubs naman abala sa pag aayos ng gulo. I spotted Lance at the middle of the field, he was standing while holding Phoebe's hand. Di ko napansin na bumagal ang pag galaw ng mundo ko, ang pag lalakad ko at ang unti unting pagkawasak ng tumataginting na puso ko sa kaba. Akala ko naman kung anong emergency, ito lang pala

"Sissy!" Hiyaw ni West ng makarating kami sakanila ni East, she was with North. "Anong nangyayari?" She asked me but I was all puzzled with all the nothingness I know.

"I don't know" mahinan sagot ko habang nakatungo

"You're missing the scene!" Pilit na inangat ni North ang ulo ko, there was blood on his hands. Sh*t! What the fuck!?. Nanakbo ako sa lugar na kinatatayuan nila, out of the air I embraced him. Holding his hand. He was turning pale, more blood were coming out and dropping

"O-oh g-god" nanginginig na si Phoebe ng lapitan siya ng mga kaibigan niya, she was shocked and so are we. Tatanungin ko nalang si Lance pag ayos na siya sa ngayon...

"Hold me" bulong ko. Kahit may dugo at mukhang nasasaktan siya, he held unto my hand and we did our escape from the crowd. Dinala ko siya sa clinic, inasikaso naman siy ng nurse at maya may ay may benda na and kamay niya

"What happened out there?" Concern na tinanong ko, I was looking at him. At his eyes, I can read nothing. Just sadness, just that. My poor Lance "Halika nga" niyakap ko siya ngunit sa pagkakataong ito di niya binalik 'yon kaya naman humiwalay ako. Sinakay namin siyang magkakapatid sa kotse na Jaguar F na regalo ni Mommy kay West. She was driving faster, so is my heart's race. Natatakot ako sa malalaman ko. What happened? Bakit may dugo siya sa kamay?

Nakarating kami sa subdivision ng mabilis matapos ang nakakamatay na pagmamaneho ni West at ng mga nag papanic kong mga kapatid. Iniwanan naman nila kami sa living room ng signalan ko sila na sa taas nalang muna para makapag usap kami ni Lance

Pagkaupo na pagkaupo niya, agad na may tumulong luha sa mata niya. There, another evidence of being hurt. Painful. Yan lang ang satingin ko nararamdaman niya, pisikal at emosyonal. They go together, at kahit ayaw mo they will stay together. Connected.

"So tell me---"

"She tried to stab me noong nakukulitan na siya, naalala ko yung sinabi niya she always bring a pocket knife for safety. Pero, nagulat ako. She was so irritated, annoyed, hinahawakan niya ang kamay na pinagdadamot niya. When I was about to grab my last, she almost pierce my hand on the air through a pocket knife" He was shaking. I held his unharm hand. Caressing it, nang naramdaman kong kalma na siya. I spoke

"She needs space" yaan lamang ang salita na lumabas sa bibig ko. I wanted to say more but I can't spill it in an instant

"Mukha nga"there was pain on every angle, he was sad, hurt, and dissed. He was pushed away when he doesn't want to."Andito naman ako"

Tumingin siya sakin, he looked awfully broken and terrified

"She wanted to break up with me" In a second, Both of us went cold. Dead air. He was trembling, I scooted near him at muli siyang niyakap, patting his back. He was crying again

"Cry baby pala" narinig kong bulong ni North at nang tapunan ko sila ng matalim na tingin ay biglang nagsipasukan sa kwarto ang mga chismosa. I rolled my eyes at them, tsk idiots. Bumaling nanaman ako sa lalaking mahal na mahal ko, pero hinding hindi ako kayang mahalin. Tanggap ko na, at kung hindi pa, paulit ulit kong ipapaalala sa sarili ko na tanggapin ang katotohanan. He was not crying anymore, we were silent.
