Chapter 14

#CTG14 Chapter 14

"I'm worried..." Rory said. We're in Yago's unit. Jax wanted to drink kaya sinamahan namin. He got himself a bottle that he's drinking all by himself. Watching him like this was... saddening. I knew he was mad at me for doing what I did, but I always knew that I was just looking after him. Hindi lang namin siya mahatid pauwi dahil mas mag-aalala iyong parents niya kapag nakita siyang ganito. He looked really bad.

"Patigilin mo na uminom..." Rory told Yago when he stood up to get something from the kitchen kung nasaan kaming dalawa ni Rory.

"Bayaan mo," Yago said. "He'd eventually stop. Let him mope."

I nodded. This was the worst part... He'd eventually get this out of his system. Alam ko naman na magkakabalikan pa rin sila. Sa future. Kapag okay na silang dalawa. Hindi ngayon. They're both destroying themselves and they knew it... They weren't just strong enough to admit it.

Habang busy uminom iyong dalawa, nagreview na ako para sa quiz namin sa Civpro. I wished they'd stop drinking para makapag-aral na sila. Pakiramdam ko badtrip si Dean sa section namin kaya baka maraming ibagsak. Usually kapag ganon, iyong top 30% lang ang pinapasa kaya kailangan talaga naming umayos... Made-delay kami ng isang taon kapag hindi kami pumasa sa CivPro.

"Is he still drunk?" I asked when I saw Jax and Yago arriving in school. Naka-akbay si Yago kay Jax habang naglalakad. Mukhang inaalalayan niya dahil hindi diretso maglakad si Jax.

Rory nodded. "Yeah... Mostly si Jax lang. Ayaw tumigil, e. Akala ko nga dadalhin na namin sa ospital para i-pump 'yung stomach."

I excused myself and bought him bottled water from the cafeteria. May time pa naman bago iyong quiz namin. He needed to sober up. Ipapa-basa ko sa kanya 'yung reviewer ko para naman may masagot siya kahit papaano. Hindi pa naman siya natatawag sa recit sa CivPro... Kaya pa namang habulin... Kailangan niya lang talagang umayos.

Kailangan niyang umayos. Naaalala ko na naman na sinabi ni Papa na balita niya raw ay bumaba iyong grades ni Jax... Kung paano niya nalaman, hindi ko alam...

"Si Jax?" I asked nang bumalik ako sa pwesto.

"Pumunta silang dalawa sa CR," Rory said. We waited for a couple of minutes before we both found it weird kung bakit sobrang tagal nila sa CR. Rory tried to call Yago, but he wasn't answering. Naglakad-lakad kami sa school para hanapin sila.

"Jax, tama na," Yago said. Agad bumilis ang lakad namin ni Rory nang marinig namin iyong boses ni Yago. We ended up in the end of the hallway. Mabuti na lang at walang klase sa dulong room. I looked around. Wala masyadong tao... But that's only a matter of time dahil malapit ng magdismiss.

And there they were.

Si Yago na hawak si Jax.

Si Iñigo na naka-tayo sa harap ni Katherine.

This was... a sight.

"May quiz pa tayo," Yago said. "Tara na."

"Katherine..." Jax called. I saw how hard Katherine was trying not to look at him. I knew she loves him so much... Kasi kung hindi? She wouldn't break up with him. She'd just let him take that destructive path and watch him ruin his life for her.

But she loves him enough to break up with him. Because she knew that at this time, that's the best option.

"Jax, tama na," she said. "Break na tayo, 'di ba?"

I wanted to turn my back and just walk away. I didn't enjoy watching this. I didn't enjoy watching them like this. But I just couldn't leave them.
