"Hala bakit siya umiiyak?" tanong ni Esran

"I don't know, basta umiiyak siya" sabi ni Marco

"Okay, Marco lets go and check on him. Girls dyan lang kayo" sabi ni Melo

Malamang dito lang kami. Di naman kami pwede pumasok sa loob ng cr ng panlalaki.

Nagpunta na si Melo at Marco sa Cr ng panglalaki. Habang kami naman nila Esran ay nagiisip lamang.

"What the heck is going on?" bulong ni Alystra

"I don't know, I really hate this" I said as I sigh

Maya maya lang ay lumabas ang mga lalaki sa cr kasama si Eleven.

He was still crying and I don't know why this is happening. Eleven was put into therapy a few years back because he was kidnapped and he almost died. The incident caused him to be traumatized.

Pag kausap namin siya lagi kaming maingat sa mga salita namin para di siya matriggered. We made sure we keep sensitive topics away from him. The last time he cried like this was when a classmate of his made him watch him a horror movie with mild gore.

So what triggered him this time?

Niyakap ni Alystra si Eleven, sumama na ang mga lalaki at kami rin ni Esran. One hug to a group hug. Its always better with a group.

Pinakalma namin si Eleven and we made jokes to make the atmosphere brighter.

I showed him memes that was saved from my phone and instead of investigating today, we just had fun.

Bumili nalang kami ng swimsuit at nagswimming sa beach. Kung iisipin, wala rin naman kaming masyadong malalaman dito.

MSG CHAT

M.o.P GC

Esran created a group chat

Esran added Melo, Marco, Alystra

Esran: guys kita tayo sa condo ni Lira after natin ihatid si Eleven. Pagusapan natin to ulit. Okay?

Alystra: di ako makakasama. Pero please kung ano man yung tatanong niyo kay Leven, wag niyo muna tanungin. Let him rest. He'll be okay in few days, wag lang now okay?

Marco: okay

Melo: sure

Esran: ano lira? Seen lang?

Me: magkatabi lang tayo, magchachat pa ba aq?!

Pagkatapos namin kumain ng dinner, ay umalis na kami. Si Alystra, Eleven, Melo at Esran ay sa isang van lang. At kay Marco ulit ako sasabay.

Sumakay na ako sa kotse ni Marco at ganun din siya.

Marco started driving and we stayed quiet for a while.

"The note says that 'you are trapped forever', maybe that is what triggered Eleven. After living a life full of lies, remembering everything and regretting everything. Realizing that he's the only one left from his family and finding out that the person you liked the most killed both of your friends and that Alexane's father killed his whole family." sabi ko

"Being trapped in a state of regret, sadness, self blame. Being trapped in a state of helplessness. Feeling that it won't end. That it'll last forever" I said

I looked at the window and saw the moon slowly rising.

I know that feeling. Yung akala mo hindi ka na magiimprove. Yung akala mo na nasa baba ka nalang. Yung pakiramdam na things aren't getting any
better and its just making life harder.
