THIRTY THREE

WHERE THE DEMONS HIDE

---

I looked at my messy room and smiled a little. This room just makes me remind of myself. A mess that could ruin anyone's life.

Sa mga nagdaang buwan, bigla na lang nagbago ang lahat. It all started when I lost my chance as our class valedictorian. Everyone judged me without knowing what could be the reason of it.

I lost myself in just a snap.

My family, friends and classmates, they were all by my side---well, that's what I believed in my whole life. I was fooled by their advices and hugs. They left me without knowing my reason.

I lost a point in order to become a valedictorian. Just one point and they all judged me when they knew it. My family is already in a bad situation that time, my father cheated and my sister got pregnant. It got worsen. Everything worsened because of my mess.

Because of being a trash, I lost them that became a reason to loose myself.

I lost everything. I can't believe it.

Inayos ko ang buong kwarto ko at tumayo sa gitna nito. Tumingin ulit ako sa paligid at malaki na ang pinagbago nito sa itsura kanina.

But it won't change the fact that I am still a mess. Maybe, I was wrong in thinking that I destroyed them. I was definitely wrong all the time!

I didn't destroy them. I really didn't.

It's them who ruined me. They were the ones who changed me.

My head started to ache a little.

They are pushing me to end it here. They are pushing me to put an end to everything.

Minutes passed before I heard my mother's voice coming in my room. I also heard screams before closing my eyes. I heard their cries, their voices, I heard it all.

Finally, everything stopped.

Even my heart that's beating. It stopped.

Because I knew where the demons hide.

They are in my head all along.

Waiting for me.
