Book 1: Possessive Madness (BL)

Unknown

I was awakened by a sudden movement from my cheek. I blinked for a few seconds, basically letting my eyes adjust from the change of light.

Once my eyes adjust, I was surprised to see John wide awake. He smiled at me and caress my face while wiping the tears falling from my eyes that I didn't know I had. I wasn't expecting that I'll cry but I guess I'm just happy that he's finally awake.

"H-h-how a-are yo-you?" I barely managed to utter a word. "D-do y-you ne-need anything?" I added. He shook his head keeping his grin while staring at me.

"I missed you so much." I said hugging him while tears began shedding drastically and gasping for air. He patted my head trying to calm me down. I sniffed and cried all at the same time for quite some time before I have calm myself.

I wiped my tears away to have a clear view of John—who is still smiling at me. I grabbed a glass of water and gave it to John and placed it back after. I stared at him and almost instantly tears started falling and flooding my cheeks.

"Shhh, do-don't cr-cry na. M-m-ma-maayos nam-man n-na ak-ako." he said still smiling at me before wiping—again—my tears away.

I took a deep sigh before letting my nerves calm down. After doing so, I felt my phone vibrate from my pocket so I fished it out. It's a message from an unregistered number saying:

------

Unknown Number
7:49 am

I'm watching you, sweetie. Be careful.

------

I was shocked and a little bit angst about this creepy message. And then I remembered someone from before called me 'sweetie' I just can't remember who.

"H-hey, a-ar-are yo-you o-okay?" John ask. I looked at him, you can see that he's worried so I forced myself to smile and make him not worry.

"Y-yeah just got a message from mom." I lied. I still can see worries on his face. Once again, I forced myself to smile just to ease his worries.

Ilang minutong katahimikan ang namagitan sa aming dalawa hanggang sa basagin ito ng katok mula sa pinto. Tumayo ako at binuksan ito. Hindi na ako nagulat sa taong bumungad sa pinto at dadalaw sa kaniya pero ang ikinagulat ako ay ang huling pumasok...si Khlea.

Hindi ako sigurado kung sila pa ni John pero ewan ko. Hindi ko siya gusto makita dito.

"Good morning po tito, tita." Sabi ko sabay mano sa kanila. "Hi, Khlea." I said then displayed my most fake smile.

"Hi." Sabi niya bago pinuntahan si John na kausap ng mga magulang niya.

"How are you? I've been missing you so, so, so much." Sabi niya sabay halik sa pisngi ni John. I looked away. 'Hindi ko kayang makita to' bulong sa isip ko.

"A-ah tita, mauna na po ako. May klase pa po kami eh." Paalam ko kila tita na tinanguan lang nila bilang sagot. Tinignan ko si John na siyang nakatingin din sa akin at bakas sa mukha niya ang pagkalungkot. Nginitian ko lang siya bago ko kinuha ang bag ko at naglakad palabas ng kwarto.

Habang paunti-unti akong lumalayo sa kwrto ni John, pabigat ng pabigat naman ang aking nararamdaman. Hindi ko dapat maramdaman 'to pero ewan, nasasaktan ako sa imaheng magkasama si John at ang kaniyang dating kasintahan.

Sa totoo lang, bagay talaga sila. Matalino't gwapo si John habang maganda't matalino din si Khlea—so anong laban ko dun? Huminga na lang ako ng malalim, pinunasan ang mga luhang hindi ko namalayang pumapatak mula sa aking mata at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad palabas ng gusali.
