Chapter 36: VICTIMS

Bea's POV

I curled up to my pillow, reminiscing the moments we did together.

We were happy- I love her, she loves me.

Is it? If so, why I am staring blankly at the ceiling, asking it to soothe me gently?

Why is there are tears from my eyes flowing from time to time, reprimanding me to choose myself at least this time?

Why is there's no one kissing my doubts away, reminding me how substantial I am?

Why is there's no one here, securing me from all of these shits?

I whimper at that thought, trying so hard to hush myself. Afraid of getting caught for being this fragile.

It's 3 in the morning yet sleep is not even welcome in my system.

Love, I miss you. My life will never be as magnificent without you.

Maddie's POV

I fall in love with the constellations in your eyes. The way it speaks for you as they shine every time your passion is at peak. How it turns so dull whenever you think of something you don't have.

Silence is your voice. Eyes is your magic.

I fall with the way you love yourself, guarding it to almost everyone. It's something so rare, but I find it as your strength.

I should thank the stars for bringing me the most precious art in my life- namely YOU.

-Beatriz.

Ginusto mo to Maddie, hindi ba?

Kim's POV

Just yesterday, she's still functioning. Talking, smiling, laughing. Living.

But she cannot do any of those anymore.

She's silent, crying, wishing of dying.

I wish I can turn back time. I wish I could stop her from hurting her. I wish everything is not like this one.

Everything is in chaos.

Everyone is confuse.

I wish I was able to help them resolve everything bago pa napunta sa ganito. I wish I'm not a weakling. How I wish I can turn back time.

Gizelle's POV

So what if she lied to her? As if she cares.

So what if we broke her trust? As if she gave any.

So what if we treat her like a fool? As if we're not stupid either.

So what if we she loves her? As if it matters.

Is it?

I don't know anymore.

Everything is so complicated now.

Ella's POV

Ibinaba ko ang cellphone ko after receiving that call.

I knew this would happen pero pinabayaan ko.

Naging kampante ako na magiging sapat ang pagmamahalan para hindi na umabot sa ganito.

Pinaniwala ko ang sarili ko sa mga bagay na umpisa palang hindi na gumana.

I should trust my instinct than trusting the situation.
