Toxic

T E A S E R (PT2)

"He's not good for you, Raine."

I ignore his statement. I grab my favorite novel and flip the page where I last stop reading. I smiled when I saw the ring that serves as a bookmark. I put it on my middle finger and stared at it, shining beautifully at my hand. I won't dare put it on my ring finger, not yet, well I hope soon I will.

"Raine listen to me." I stop smiling when I remember Zack's presence. I smiled at him disappointedly.

"I don't care if he's good for me or not, Zack. I'm happy with him." I said convincing him, and myself too.

I'm happy with him, right?

"Really?" sarcasm, pure sarcasm.

I nervously look at the black little hole at the frame of my mirror. He's listening.

"O-ofcourse I am. Look, Pierce makes me happy. He's my life." I uttered almost become a whisper.

Yes, I'm being honest. He becomes my life. Without him, I don't know how will I live.

"You're just overwhelmed right now, Raine. You don't know what you're saying. Come on, I'll save you from him. Come with me, Raine. Runaway with me. I'll get you out from this hell."

I look at the hole in my mirror, horrified, as it turns to red. I stand and went on him quickly.

How do I get him out here?! Damn!

"No, no, no. You don't know what you're saying. Umalis ka na dito Zack, please." hinila ko ang kamay niya para paalisin ng biglang tumunog ang aking cellphone. My hands is trembling as I answer the call, leaving Zack for a while.

"Don't kill him, Pierce, I'm begging you. Please Pierce, please!" I beg but he remained silent. But after a few second I heard him grit his teeth painfully.

"Why? Sasama ka sa kanya? Iiwan moko?"

"No! I won't do that! But please, leave him alone, Pierce." tears start to flow and I start biting my nails nervously.

"You know you can't runaway from me, Raine. I can find you wherever that bastard will hide you." he's so mad right now, I can feel his rage by his words.

"Yes, I know that but please, Pierce, don't do anything to him. He don't know what he's saying! Spare him. I promise I will agree to live with you but promise me you won't kill him, promise me, Pierce, please." I plead but he remain silent at my proposition.

Pumayag kana Pierce, please.

"I'll live with you na, Pierce. Just promise me this one, please."

"Make him leave and start packing your things. Susunduin kita."

"I will, I will. Just keep your promise, please."

"I will."

The nervousness is gone, I know he will keep his promise.

"I love you." I said before I ended the call.
