Mine Alone!

Chapter 25

Jj's POV

Hindi ako makatulog. Lalo na't hindi ko makalimutan ang nangyari kanina. Its already 1:15am and here I am. Staring at my phone.

Waiting for him to text or call me back. I had a small argument with Kevin a while ago. Hindi din siya makapaniwalang gagawin ni Glen iyon. He thought it was a stupod thing to do kung nagselos man si Glen.

I insisted on paying for the damages pero hindi na niya ito tinanggap. May insurance pa naman daw yung auto niya kaya sinabi niyang huwag na akong mag abala.

Nagalit siya dahil nagmakaawa akong huwag na niyang ituloy ang pagdemanda. He said Glen would do the same stupid thing unless matuto siya sa nagawa niyang mali.

Knowing Glen.. he wouldn't do that. He was hot headed back then in college. I guess hanggang ngayon din naman. After maybe an hour of begging him Kevin finally said yes.

He said hindi niya na itutuloy kung sakaling balitaan siya ng pulis na si Glen nga iyon. Actually, he's sleeping on the couch right now.

Hinatid niya ko and nawalan pa siya ng sasakyan so I had to offer him a place to stay the night. Besides, it was late.

Glen's POV

This sucks. The feeling of emptiness when I know I miss her so much. I haven't seen her in 3 days and when I finally did she was in the arms of another man.

Nagmuni muni ako habang nakaupo sa swivel chair at nakatingala sa ceiling. I need to see her.

I'm tipsy but I'm not drunk. I need a f.cking explanation why she was witg him. Was she playing me?! I got up and took my coat. Hindi nako nag abalang mag ayos pa.

I grabbed my keys at dumirecho sa apartment.

I reached Anna's apartment and I see no light. How can she possibly sleep like a baby when Im all up awake like an owl. Wala na din yung red na fortuner. Good for him. Sa isip isip ko.

I stayed in my car for another 5 minutes and decided to bang that door.

Jj's POV

"Blag blag blag!" Sunod sunod na ingay ang narinig ko. I got up of the bed and wore my robe. Kinuha ko ang baseball bat ni Anna sa takot na may nakapasok na magnanakaw.

Tumakbo ako pababa ng may narinig pa akong ingay na nagbabasagang mga gamit. Nadatnan ko ang isang lasing na Glen at nakahigang Kevin sa sahig.

"What the hell Glen!" Tumakbo ako sa direksyon ni Kevin. Hindi ko na inabala yung nabasag na lamesa.

I was wearing my pajama slipper not good enough to step on broken glass. I reached out for Kevin whose nose was heavily bleeding.

"Uunahin mo pa ba talagang tulungan siya!" Nakatingin siya saakin na tinutulungang mahiga si Kevin sa sofa.

"G.oddamit Glen! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Nilapitan ko siya at itinulak. Nakita ko ang mas nag apoy na mga mata niya.

I didn't care if he was f.cking pissed because as far as I am concerned his made a hell of a show for one night.

"You're choosing him over me?!" Sigaw saakin nito. I can see bags under his eyes. I can smell alcohol from his breath. It was not a good sight.

"J-jen.. I think I need an ambulance" ubo ni Kevin na nakahawak sa patuloy na dumudugong ilong niya. He was slouching on the sofa and I had to run to make a call.

Kevin was now in surgery. Glen hit him too hatd na kinailangan ng maoperahan yung ilong niya. He also had minor cuts sa mag ulo na kailangan linisan dahil sa mga bubog ng glass table na binagsakan niya.

I guess nung kumatok si Glen ay lasing at galit siya. Kevin might have answered the door and that's when it happened.

I was sitting on a bed by the ER. Ginamot ng nurse yung mga paa ko. Dahil siguro sa adrenaline rush ay hindi kona naramdaman na ang dami konang natamong sugat sa pag apak sa mga broken glass. It feels painful right now. But its nothig compared to how painful Glen's actions tonight were.

He was standing by the cooridor and all I see is his back. He was being asked questions by the police. Yes, dumating din ang mga pulis.

In a matter of time he came near me and looked at my feet covered in bandages.

"Anong sinabi mo sakanila?" Tanong ko.

"The truth" walang bahid ng emosyon ang sagot niya.

"Why were you with him" dagdag nito ngunit nakayuko padin at nakatingin sa mga paa ko.

"You owe me THE explanation Glen." I put up my feet on the bed and covered them with the blanket. He finally looked at me and I know he felt how much pain I was going through.

"You hugged him" he was looking me straight in the eye and in disbelief I scoffed.

"G.od! Is this what its about?! A stupid hug?! Napaka unreasonable mo!" Sigaw ko. Alam kong kahit may mga kurtina to prevent privacy for other patients na na aadmit sa ER ay nakuha ko ang attention nila. Tumahimik ang silid.

"Okay lang po ba tayo? Sir? Maam?" Sumilip ang nurse mula sa may kurtina at pinilit kong ngumiti. Nakatingin ito kay Glen na tila hindi sigurado kung sinasaktan ba ako.

"Were fine. Sorry." Pagdadahilan ko. Ngumiti naman ito at ibinalik sa pagkakasara ang kurtina.

"Jennifer.. I owed you an explanation. You didn't give me time to defend myself. Tapos makikita ko hinahatid-yakap kana ng gagong ex mo?!" May pagtataas ang boses niya ngunit sinigurado nitong hindi siya mapapasigaw.

"Please leave." Sabi ko sakanya. And I laid down the bed at tunalikod sa kinatatayuan niya. Ramdam ko ang mga mata niyang nakatingin saakin.

Makalipas ang ilang segundo ay naramdaman ko ang pag alis nito. Humiga ako ng pa direcho at tumingin sa ceiling. My eyes were being filled with water and I couldn't stop them.

A sob was to come out of my mouth pero pinilit kong huwag ilabas ito. Then again the curtain opened at may pumasok.
