Pagkagising na pagkagising ko ay binomba agad ako ng 12 missed calls at 26 unread messenges mula kay Ocean.

Bumangon ako at bumaba na papunta sa sala. Nakita ko si Eleven na natutulog sa sofa at humihilik pa.

Kinain ko yung natirang pagkain kagahapon at nung nagising si Eleven ay binigyan niya ako ng isang masamang tingin.

"Bakit hindi mo ako hinintay kumain?"

"Eh kasi po, ang sarap pa ng tulog mo! Humihilik ka pa with tulo laway"

"Kahit na! Dapat sabay tayo kumain"

"Bakit? Eh gutom na ako eh, may magagawa ka?"

"Ang daya mo talaga no?" Sabi niya at umupo sa tabi ko at kumuha din ng natirang pizza

"So anong schedule natin today?" Tanong niya

"Pupunta ako sa hospital to see how things are going" I answered

"Pwedeng sumama?"

"Ha? Wag na! Its sunday, you should spend your time with your family and kaya ko naman magisa" sabi ko

"No, besides wala naman akong gagawin today, boring lang sa bahay" sabi niya

"Then yayain mo si Alexane, pretty sure she needs someone right now" I said

"No Hux, I insist. I want to be there for you, I want to be a part of every moment of your life. Because I'm your bestfriend"

"Yes, you are."

We're only bestfriends, nothing less but nothing more, and I'll be stuck with that label, I'm sure of that.

"Ah nakausap mo na ba si Elyc?" He asked

"Why? Hindi eh, ang weird nga kasi dapat tinext na ako nun by now but hindi siya nagparamdam eh. Siguro busy lang" Sagot ko

"Yeah, right"

After eating our "breakfast" aka leftovers, naligo na ako at nagbihis ng panglabas.

We went to the hospital and una muna naming binisita si mom. Di ko siya makausap and she's just staring at the window. We don't know why but parang sinisisi parin niya ang sarili niya.

Nagpunta kami kay kuya and found ate Ela just looking at him. Di pa rin nagigising si kuya and nagkablood clut daw sa ulo niya which makes his condition worst.

I couldn't look at him like this longer, so lumabas din ako. Piniipilit ko na nga lang na hindi maluha.

Pakiramdam ko nagiisa ako eh. Mom doesn't want to talk to me and kuya is still in a bad condition.

"May bagong bukas na museum right? Tara pasyal tayo" yaya ni Eleven

"Eh, ikaw na lang" sagot ko

"Dali na, you can't just stay here"

"Yes I can" I argued

"You can't. You'll just think about bad things and I just can't leave you here"

Why does he care so much? Just why? He shouldn't. Ayokong umasa that there's a chance for a change of heart.

"Pwede bang iwan mo nalang ako? I'm fine! I don't need you or anyone, I'm fine by myself" 

Nagulat nalang ako when he suddenly hugged me and I just froze. Completely dumbfounded.

Why do you make me so confuse? Why do I feel the electricity when you're near?
I hate you Eleven. I really do

"Lystra!" Rinig kong sigaw at kumawala sa yakap ni Eleven.

"Ay, nasira ko ba moment niyo?" She asked and I just glared at her
