Hold Me Until I Fall

01

"Thank you for coming sir!"

I gladly bid my farewell to the man who just walk out of our restaurant's door. Tinutulungan ko muna si mommy habang wala pang shift ko. I am a resident doctor now. Thanfully, nakasurvive ako sa med school with this ability. It was hell but I was devil enough to survive it. I really sucks if you keep seeing your blockmates future and none of them were listening to you because they think you're crazy. I'm aware okay? What happened with that guy at the gasoline station. Believe me I have been through a lot. From murders to accidents, I saw a lot but, as the years go by, I started not to care, why? Sinong tao sa panahon ngayon ang maniniwala if just one lady stranger told you that your future is in danger, no one. I tried to stop it, but time has its ways to keep it on track. Death is inevitable, so is your future.

"Ma'am Kayzy, kailangan daw po kayo sa kitchen saglit lang po" tawag ng isang crew namin.

"Yeah okay, be right there in a minute" i replied while i was fixing my gloves. My one and only forever companion.

"okay I'm here what is i---"

"Sis!!! Im baack"

"Christia??? Bakla kaa!" I loudly said while opening both my hand to give him access to touch me. Unlike everyone, he knows my secret. Its just me, him, and my mom who knows.

"Kailan ka ba dumating?" i asked

"Kagabi lang actually, nabore ako sa states tsaka walang mabingwit kaya lumunok ako ng bato at lumipad ng bonggang bongga"

"Wow, if i were you, i wouldn't want to comeback, really! I mean, do you even watch news, sobrang gulo dito sa Pilipinas sis"

"Char! syempre may rason ako. He's back, Kayz"

"Who's who?"

"Yeah, you were nagging about me not watching the news and here you are probably doing the same thing too!" he said while eye rolling me.

"Sis, cut the bullshit, kinda busy here" i lied. Break ko kaya, sadyang naiingayan lang talaga ako sa baklang ito.

"AC Valenciaga?" well that ring a bell but I cant recall.

"Eerrm, who is this again?"

"Sis, the weird guy back in med school? The one who always saves kapag nahihimatay ka nalang bigla?"

Oh yeah! I remember him. We use to be friends, I mean if he feels the same way too. He's weird, really but I think there's a reason. There's this one time, we were examining a dead body for our assestment...

" Hey! what are you doing?" he coldly asked. I dont know what to do. Disposable gloves are too thin to protect from making a contact to this body. Kahit na patay na sya, makikita ko pa rin mangyayari sa katawan nya and i dont want that.

"You know, i think im just---can i be the one to do the writings? its just that, i cant touch"

"Do want to be a doctor?" emotionless, he asked.

"Wh---What the fuck?" he grabbed my hands to guide it and it happens, again. My vision started to get blurry and I literally grabbed anything in my blurry sight just to stay in posture but i failed. The next thing  i knew was i was in the clinic, again and there is someone sleeping beside my bed.

"Acer? wake up, what happened? i asked hysterically. I dont really care about my head being a bitch. I shaked him and then he wakes up.

" You kinda passed out, Im sorry, I shouldn't force you" He apologies as I got out of my bed not minding the thing that is attached to my wrist

"We have to get back there Acer, importante yung assessment na yun"

"Kailangan mo magpahinga, baka mahimatay ko ule kapag nagpatuloy ka pa dun! Alam mo, for a future doctor, napakakulit mo"

"And you're weird, Acer. Why are you even here anyways, baka bumagsak ka dahil sakin. Tapos utang na loob ko to sayo. Alam mo bang ilang araw natin to pinaghandaan tapos babagsak rin naman ako just because i fainted? Acer, I can't---"

"Hey! Ang ingay mo, alam mo ba yun?"

"Shut up, Acer Valenciaga" and then there was silence after that, an awkward one.

"hey, erm, can i teach you something?" he asked out of the blue.

"something? something what?"

"aalisin nito lahat ng stress mo lahat ng mabibigat sa loob mo" he explained while smiling, weirdly.

"yeah? and what is that?"

"The reset" and now he's serious, what the fuck? and why do i find it,,, kinda attractive - - - oh fuck what is that thought

erase it bitch, erase

"How do you that, then?" i asked while staring into his pitch black eyes. May lahi bang banyaga to? ganda pala ng mata nya. It was deep and dark and full of... secrets?

"ganito" he said while his face was getting closer to me. I can feel his warm breath while my eyes are closed. He cupped my face as he attached his lips into mine and then, there was darkness.
