Thirty-Five

"BEAAAAAA!!!!" Jia shouted the moment Bea's body hit the ground.

"No no no no." Jia said consecutively as she looked at Bea's wounds.

"Hon."

"Hon wait. Okay? Relax. Look at me." Bea's eyes were closing so Jia needed called her. "Bei. Bei. Look at me hon. No no no."

"Hon." She coughed blood. "Let me do my speech. D-Diba ganon sa movies?" She flashed a small smile.

"Somebody call ambulance!!!" She shouted to the top of her lungs. "Bei. Wag unfair. Stay with me."

"Hon. W-where's my I love you?"

"Sabi ko diba pag safe na?"

"Unfair." Bea said weakly. "I bet Jema finally said it to Deanna." She coughed again. "She get her I love you but I didn't."

"I'll respond to that once we are okay. So you have something to look forward, okay?" Jia looked up looking for the still no show ambulance.

"Jia, listen to me." Bea said weakly. "Here goes my speech."

"No Bea, you don't get to say something. Save your energy." She said while crying and pressing Bea's wound.

"Hon. I love you." Bea smiled before coughing more blood.

"Help!!!" The ambulance was nearing us.

Bea reached for her girlfriend's hand and squeezed. "Jia." She smiled. "I crave milk tea. Libre mo ko, ang panget mo na kakaiyak eh."

Jia laughed a little.

"There you go." Her eyes were shutting down and her grip getting loose.

"Bea, nooo!!!"

A paramedic approached them. "We got this maam." They told Jia and she stood up.

They performed first aid to her and put her to stretcher.

Jia tried to stand up but her knees failed her. She was kneeling in the ground, her hands full of Bea's blood were on her thighs gripping her pants.

A paramedic approached her and assisted her to stand up.

"Let's get her to the hospital." Jia nodded still crying. "Deanna." She whispered.

"They will bring her too."

Her eyes and my eyes met.

Hurt. Fear. Disappointment. Grief.

Those were in her eyes.

She walked towards Bea's ambulance and almost the same time, we rushed them to the hospital.

"What?!!" Ate Ly said on the other line.

"Ano daw Ly?" Ate Den asked her.

"Okay we'll be there." She hung up the phone. "Bea and Deanna were shot."

"What?!"
"Ano?!"
"Tangina!"
"Ay puta."

"Let's go." Ate Ly almost ran towards the door. The Avengers rushed to the hospital.

"Jia. Can you sit and relax for a second?" She did. She sat for literally 3 seconds and get back on walking back and forth.

"Jia."

"Jema, I can loose my girlfriend. I felt her grip on my hands slowly loosing. So you can't tell me to relax."

Somehow, I understand her. I almost lost Deanna. Almost. It's just that I was getting dizzy with her walking back and forth in front of me. "Sorry."
