A Journey of Two Night Goers (A Fanfiction) (Journey Series)

Chapter 25

I went out of my room in the morning to find the hotel room of Michael open and with a cleaning staff inside. I then went in since I saw that she was changing the bedsheet of the room.

"Uh, hello." I said softly, causing the lady to turn and face me.

"Good morning ma'am." She smiled.

"What are you doing in this room?"

"Cleaning and changing the bedsheets ma'am for the new occupant."

New occupant? Michael's gone?

I was snapped out of my thoughts when she spoke again, "Why ma'am? Something you own missing here?"

"Uh, no." I smiled, "I just wondered where the occupant is. He turns out to be someone I know."

"Oh, he's gone already. He left at early dawn."

"Okay." I whispered as I thanked the lady and decided to go back to the room and prepared myself to go to the plaza. I cried while doing so until I left and went to the plaza. At the plaza, I did nothing for the whole day but to wander around, not bothering to eat, and would stay most of the time near the bay. I have nothing else to do. I have no strength to do anything. I refused to go to the museum or back to the hotel because if I do so, it would remind me of Michael. And remembering him hurts me.

Evening came when the bar nearby was open. I decided to go there and to listen to a song in their band at least to clear my mind. But then, I saw that the bar actually have drinks as well. So I called the waiter and ordered at least one beer to savor while listening to music. But a one can of beer became more cans as I tried to drink and at the same time, listen to the band to preoccupy my mind. As I felt my head in a daze, I tried to stand up to leave and go back to the hotel. But it just made everything worse. Everything started going in circles and I found myself walking distortedly.

"Hi miss." A guy said as he went near me. I tried to rub my eyes to clear my view but to my failed attempt.

"Miss, tulungan na kita. (Let me help you)" He said as he helped me walk. But I suddenly felt his hands in my ass. I then gasped then pushed him away from me.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked angrily, "Get away from me."

But the guy didn't listen. He started grabbing me, attempting to assault me. I then started screaming and started to find ways to push him away.

"Hoy! Lumayo ka sa kanya. (Hey! Stay away from her)" I was then pushed to the side, causing me to rub my eyes again and saw two men punching each other.

"Umalis ka dito, bago pa ako tatawag ng pulis. (Get away from here, before I call the police)" Then I saw the guy leaving. The other one approached me and helped me up.

"You okay Flo?"

I mumbled, "Who are you? How did you know me?"

"It's me. Lex. Let's get you back in your hotel room."

"Oh." I said as I closed my eyes and collapsed. And that was the last thing I remembered.
