Chapter Ten | Delabreaux

"I like him... a lot, Ace. Please, hayaan mo na ako!"

I punch the wall beside me, leaving a huge hole in it. I can't bear seeing them together, I can't even imagine her being with someone else, let alone with someone I don't trust and that is capable of hurting her. I can't bear her liking someone, especially someone like Spade.

I watched her as she slowly dabbed the cotton in his bruised face, even watching her touching someone was so offending. Napakuyom ang kamao ko habang pinapanood siya, I can't take it. Baka kung ano pa ang magawa ko sa lalaking katabi niya, I can't risk her seeing the other side of me. I don't want to scare her. Ayokong layuan niya ako.

As if she's not avoiding me already.

I punch it again with the same intensity as I pictured him in the arms of the person I despise the most. Both of my fist are bleeding but they're both numb with pain, wala na halos ako maramdaman, mas nasasaktan ako sa mga nakita ko kanina. Paulit ulit ko iyong nakikita sa isip ko, unti unti rin akong nawawala sa sarili.

You're not allowed to like anyone, Nikki. Never!

"Stay. Away. From. Her. Spade." I tightly close my eyes ad the image of her choosing him instead of me flash before my very eyes. I punch the wall for the nth time, again and again and again until I can feel the searing pain in my knuckles. Dámn it! I hit it bad!

"You should stop hurting yourself." I can feel her eyes bore into me. Hindi ko 'to pinansin at ipinagpatuloy ang pagsuntok sa pader na ngayon ay halos mabubuwag na, not minding my bleeding hands.

I heard her sigh ng hindi ako sumagot. I bet she's rolling her eyes at me as well. "Ace, let's talk." she said, desperately.

"There's nothing to talk about." I snapped at her. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit siya nandito. What ever's between us is just a truce. Nothing personal.

I punched the wall a little bit harder than normal. "Yes, there is." I groaned, she's not gonna stop until she gets what she wants.

A typical Delabreaux...

"Meet me. Rooftop." I told her. The next thing I heard is the sound of the door being closed, the loud bang echoed inside the whole vacant room. Then, I'm all alone again.

I stop at umupo sa may sahig. Kinuha ko yung puting t-shirt na hinubad ko at pinahid ang pawisan kong katawan. My bare body is exposed and all sweaty. I tore a huge piece of clothing at pinaikot iyon sa magkabila kong duguang kamao bago sinundan ang babaeng gumulo sa ginagawa ko.

"I though you're not going to show up." Bungad niya sa akin ng makarating agad ako sa may rooftop. She's sitting on a broken chair in malapit sa kay railing, still wearing her school uniform. Based from her outfit, umattend pa ito ng klase hanggang hapon. Umalis na ako noong kalagitnaan ng detention at dito dumiretsyo sa building ng DRMC.

"I'm a man of words, Misha." I told her. Kumuha ako ng isang bangko at umupo doon. I stared at the buildings below us. It's almost nighttime, the stars are almost visible and the moon are up on it's peak.
