Say You Won't Let Go (Donny Pangilinan)

Chapter 31 - Part Two [Edited]

Sophie

I'm lost for words. I didn't know what to do. Pwede ko naman agad i-contact si Donny pero 'di ko magawa. Hindi ko na alam sino tatakbuhan ko.

"So, you're all about Donny now, huh?", he spoke.

"What do you want this time, Josh?", I hissed.

"I want you back.", wow.

"Really? After telling Donny na you're okay na he's with me? You're unbelievable.", I spat.

"Sunud-sunuran talaga si Donny. Your boy is such a good follower.", he chuckled, making me roll my eyes. "He wouldn't fall for you if I didn't ask him to do those things for you."

Ayaw kong maniwala sa kanya, I know Donny so well. He wouldn't cry his heart out for me kung sunud-sunuran lang siya ni Josh. And heck, why would he pray for me if I never meant anything to him?

"Are you surprised, Maxene?", ugh. I don't like it when someone mentions my second name.

"You really are a liar. I'm glad that we've splitted up.", I glared at him.

"And you're such an uto-uto.", he spat back.

"You're just wasting time, Sandoval. Get a life.", I can punch him anytime. I was about to walk out on him then he pulled me back. "Ano ba? Don't touch me!", I raised my voice.

"You don't walk out on me like that.", he was squeezing my arm and I couldn't get away from his grip.

I tried yanking my arm from his strong hand, but when I got the chance to, I felt relieved.

But once I got away from his hold, I immediately ran away.

Napakagaling mo, Sophie.

9:13 PM

For the past 30 minutes, I've been panting.I've been running around the village to get away from Josh. Sa sobrang laki ng village namin, hindi ko na alam yung shortcut papunta sa bahay ko. I'm so dehydrated and tired, I want to go home.

After a few minutes of walking, bigla nalang ako kinabahan. I feel like someone's following me. I know napalayo na ako kay Josh kanina pa, pero mas lumalakas kabog ng dibdib ko. My phone is dead, I don't know where to go.

I continued walking, then I saw the familiar lights on our front gate. Patakbo na ako pauwi but the next thing I know, someone placed a handkerchief on my face to stop me from screaming and carried me away.

"Woah, I didn't know Donny's girl would be this strong.", I heard a deep voice.

"Just hold her, don't let her slip away this time.", what? Miguel and Josh?!

I elbowed Miguel, who was holding me then kicked him again there just like the last time.

"Let me go, assholes! Ano ba gusto niyo?", I yelled this time. Ano ba kasi gusto nila sa akin?

"You don't call us assholes, you bitch.", wow, coming from the guy who made me feel special before. I was about to speak again but a hand landed on the right side of my face. Puta, ang sakit.

"Ano, magsasalita ka ulit?", Josh placed a hand on my face and squeezed my cheeks. I was already glaring at the both of them, but I couldn't look straight because I was already tearing up.

"You don't call me that.", he slowly released his hand from my face as I spoke, about to break down.

"Aw, baby girl. Where's your man to look after you?", Miguel teased making me want to throw a punch on him. Okay nang nasipa ko na siya doon pero nanggigigil eh.
