It's Always You

Chapter 15 " Hurt and Comfort"

KATH's POV

My mom was scheduled to leave tomorrow for Europe, there she'll meet with my dad. I was helping her pack her things. It was a sudden and surprise trip.

Mom: Are you sure you and your kuya will be ok?

" Mom.. We will be ok, relax. Just enjoy your vacation with dad and don't forget to take lots of pictures on your tour ok? Especially on the Eiffel tower!"

Mom: Ok ok I will.. I still need to talk to your Kuya to update me regarding  the mill from time to time.

" He'll do it don't worry and there's still Tita Lulu and Tito JV that you can still contact. "

I told you, the reason why she can't leave the country because she's worrried on her business.. We had our small rice meal running for about six years now and we have two from our trusted relatives who's helping us after all these years, that's Tita Lulu and Tito JV..

Mom: Anak hindi lang din ako sanay. It's the first time that I will travel without you and your kuya..

" Mom.. Don't worry next time we'll be with you.. Tapusin ko lng yung school ko and my internship ok?.. "

Mom: Oo nga pala did Dom already contact you?

" Yeah he already texted me. He said that they became busy with the band's practice and rehearsals. "

After one day without a single call and text from Dominic it got me really worried. He normally text me early in the morning but yesterday there was none. Whole day had passed as I waited and waited and I even tried to reach him but his phone were off.

It's just today when he finally contact me but it's not even a call, rather a text.

Babe.. I'm sorry... We're busy with the practice and rehearsal. I'll call you later

That was just his text.. No hi or how are you.. It made me upset but I don't want mom to know about it, she'll be leaving tomorrow.

Mom: How about DJ?

" Mom?! What about him?.. "

Mom: Kath.. I know you.. I know how much you love Dominic.. But you and DJ are getting back to your old self.. Both of you are getting too much comfortable..

" Mom.. "

Mom: I just don't want you to get hurt anak. Period.

I was speechless. I don't know what to say. She's right I love Dom, but what is it that I am feeling with DJ?..

She gave me a quick embrace as we resume on packing her stuff..

********

I already returned from my evening run and I was showered when I decided to browse my phone while waiting for Dom's call. I ended up on checking their band's official Facebook page. There were pictures from the music festival. Wow the crowd were huge!.. There were also pictures of them while they tour Cebu. Seems like they are enjoying. As I continue browsing I saw that there were tagged pictures of them from different bands. Pictures of them drinking and partying. I look for Dominic. Then I came across with one picture, and my heart felt like it squeezed the life out of me.. It's a picture of Dominic and Arya. She was sitting on Dominic's lap and his hands were even intertwined with her hands around her waist, it's a candid shot and they both had a smile on their faces. It's seems that they are happy?. and when I read the captions I felt like my heart stops from beating..

Have a room you two! Can't keep your hands with each other huh?.. The guitarists looks insanely in love with her vocalist..

I was staring on my phone for I don't know how long.. My visions became blurred as tears started to roll down my cheeks.

Bakit? Bakit Dom?.. How could you do this to me?! Kailan pa?!

Paulit ulit kong tanong sa sarili ko..

I felt like my room was suffocating me. I was crying so hard. I was hurting. I grab for my car keys and rush outside. I don't know where to go, I just want this pain to stop. I keep on driving but I can't see the road beacuse my tears are clouding my vision. I am still inside the subdivision as I stopped the car.

My tears won't stop from spilling. As my memories with Dom comes back to me.

Am I not enough? What did I do to deserve this pain.

I was sobbing really hard when I sudddenly heard a knock on my window. Without thinking I roll the window down. Then I saw him. My protector, my besfriend.

" DJ... "

That's what I just said as I continue to cry harder.

" Bal?.. "

He immidiately opened my door as he scoots me up. He carried me at the back seat of my car. We were both inside and he just let me cry while holding  me. This time he never let me go.

I don't know how long we stayed like that. My tears were now dry. You can just hear our breathing inside the car and my hiccups.

DJ: Bal.. What happened?

I remain quiet while I just bowed my head . He holds my chin up so I can look him in the eye.

DJ: Bal.. Please.. Talk to me.. What happened?.. Is it Dominic?

While hearing his name. I felt like I want to cry again. I just nod my head.

DJ: What did he do?.. You want to talk about it?..

At first I was hesitant then I told him everything. I told him about the picture and I even show it to him.

" Something's going on with the two of them DJ.. And I am too stupid not to notice it ! "

DJ: Bal....tama na.. You want me to fly and go to Cebu this instant?! I am going to beat the sh*t out of him..

As he said with a threat.

" As much as I want you to do it, but no... I am going to talk to him.. "

At this moment I hate him.. I hate them! No wonder why Arya's always like that whenever I see her.

I heard DJ call my name as he caress my face and wipe my tears. We were facing each other..

DJ: Bal.. I'm sorry. If only I can take away your pain, I would. That guy doesn't deserve you. You deserve all the  love in this world. You deserve to be happy.. I am just here and this time I am not going any where.

After he said those things he embraced me. I felt like crying again. I hold onto him. I am thankful that he's here with me. He's all that I need. For now, at  this very moment...

My anchor, my saviour.
