Fight For Love 1: The Rule

Chapter 35: Fever

Scarlet's pov.

*ring!*ring!*ring--*crack!*

Hmm. . . Ang sarap ng tulog ko tapos may iistorbo? Tch. Curse that alarm clock,

Bumangon ako ng higaan ko at namalayan na wala ang phone ko sa table kung saan ko nilalagay.

Hinagis ko lahat ng unan na nasa kama ko at hinanap ang phone ko sa kama ko. 

Nasan ko nalagay?

Tinignan ko sa bawat sulok kung saan ko pisibling nilalagay, pero wala.

Baka napag tripan ako ng mga impakta tapos kinuha phone ko? Haystt, bwiset talaga sila.

Dinampot ko lahat ng unan ko at inayos ulit. Tatayo na sana ako para magbihis, Pero may isang bagay ako na naapakan.

Kinuha ko yun at hindi man lang tinignan dahil naka tuon ang mata ko sa salamin habang tinitignan kung gaano kagulo ang buhok ko.

Pag lingon ko halos masakal ko sarili ko, It's my fvcking phone!. Naapakan ko-- sht. Buti walang basag, bago panaman. 

Eto ba yung tumunog kanina na alarm? Tinignan ko ang lamesa kung saan naka patong ang alarm ko at nakita na nanduon 'yun.

Yung tumunog kanina-- y-yun yung hinagis ko? Nababaliw na ba ako?!

Binuksan ko ang phone ko at nakitang maayos panaman at gumagana, tatanga tanga kasi scarlet.

Natigilan ako sa oras na may kumatok sa pintuan ng kuwarto ko.

"Come in!"

Nakita ko si juliana, ah yeah. Close na kami ni Juliana, Close-na-close, pakiramdam ko nga parang matagal ko na siyang nakasama eh dahil sobrang lapit na namin sa isa't isa.

She's kind, humble, funny-- i love everything about her. And somehow, she reminds me of. . . Chloe.

Chloe is. . . is, a former member of our group. She died, along with Avy and Bianca. Among them, si chloe ang pinaka close ko sa kanila, they died when they tried to save us from that freaking bomb, and still-- kahit matagal-tagal na din ang pangyayaring 'yun, it still hunts me and still hurts.

"Hey, bat ang lungkot mo?" Sinara niya yung pintuan at tinabihan ako.

"Wala. . ." I said and giggled.

"Don't lie bal, i know there's wrong. . .you can tell me." naka ngiti niyang giit.

The moment she smiled at me, it really reminds me of Chloe.

"Y-you just. . . remind me of someone." sabi ko at hindi ko mapigilang hindi mapaluha.

Chloe thought me a lot of things when she's still with us, she's the one who told me to fight no matter what, she's kind, caring. Kaya, sobrang sakit sa akin noong nalaman naming patay na sila, seeing their body's laying and burning hurts me to death, and i hate remembring it, it hurts-- so much. Hindi ko man lang nasabi sa kaniya na mahal na mahal ko siya, na nag papasalamat ako sa lahat ng tulong niya, bigla nalang siya nawala. . . na parang bula.

"Stop crying. . . i'll be here, at your side, always. . ."

Natigilan ako sa mga sinabi niyang salita. . . I don't know if it's a coincidence but it's the same as what chloe told me before the fight.

"Scarlet. . . I'll be here at your side, always."

"sino ba yung naaalala mo?"

"they are former member's of our group, chloe, bianca, and avy. Natatandaan ko kasi si chloe sayo-- both of you are the same. They died when we got into a fight with another gang-- it's mark's. They tried to save us-- they tried to save xyra. There was a bomb inside and they told us to leave and soon they will catch up, they figured out how to stop the bomb, but it ended up we all didn't knew there was another one, so it exploded. And they, d-died."
