Where Should I Start? (TeeLogy #1 : COMPLETED)

Chapter Eight

Friend

"Don't cry please. I'm here now."

She can't hold it in anymore and punched my shoulders while crying. "Tangina, Zerxes!" she shouted.

Hinayaan ko lang siya sa gustong mangyari at tiningnan kung nariyan pa ba si Falcon. He's still staring at Icy blankly and then turned his stares to me. I didn't back down and stared back. Icy is still punching me as if she's blaming me for the pain this scumbag caused.

After some time, Falcon drove away. I turned to see Icy's face. How dare that motherfucker hurt her?

"Shh, don't cry. Let's get you home now," I said. Not really, because I'm taking her in our house. She can't go home looking like this. Hurt and crying.

"Tangina, ang sakit. Ang sakit pa rin pala," she said and covered her face with her hands. Hindi ko siya kayang aluin dahil hawak ko ang payong sa isang kamay at ang isa naman ay ginamit ko pamulot sa gamit niya na nagsihulog na ang iba.

"Saan ang masakit?" I asked gently.

"Dito, dito oh. Ang sakit-sakit! Sana mawala na lang 'to lahat. Sana makalimutan ko na lang. Para akong tanga na nagdedemand ng mga bagay sa mundo kahit wala naman akong karapatan," she said, still crying.

I hugged her and let her cry for some more. That motherfucker doesn't deserve her. Kahit maliit na pagkatao ni Icy ay wala siyang karapatan. If it wasn't for Icy, I wouldn't get involved with him.

"Let's go to our house, Icy. Malapit lang dito 'yun. Let's get you cleaned up," I said and she nodded. Ipinalibot ko ang braso sa balikat niya at inalalayan siya maglakad.

I wish I could take the pain. I wish I could make it go away, baby.

"Zerxes, puwede bang huwag muna ako umuwi? I don't want to cause another trouble between Kuya and Falcon," she said quietly.

"Sure. Settle it all out first and then let's talk."

Nakakahiya umapak sa bahay nila.

I look like a mess and is really a mess right now. Nabasa ko pa ang damit ni Zerxes dahil sa katangahan ko kanina. Kung bakit ba naman kasi nakiiyak pa sa'kin ang langit.

"Lock, where have - oh," someone said and stopped on his tracks. Zerxes flipped his middle finger at him and the other one laughed.

Mukhang isa pa ata 'to sa mga carbon copy ni Ma'am Leah ah. Walang duda, muntik na 'ko malito sa kanila ni Zerxes eh.

"Sorry for the late introduction miss, but I'm Xercy Loki. Loki na lang," he said and smiled. Ngumiti din ako at nagpakilala.

"Formalities can wait, Loki. Get us towels," ani Zerxes kaya naman nagmamadali na umalis ang ilan sa mga nakatayong maid sa gilid at bumalik na may mga dalawang tuwalya.

Zerxes gave me one and he used the other one to dry his clothes. 'Di siya gaanong nabasa dahil nakapayong naman. 'Di gaya ko na nagpaulan talaga ng husto kanina. Ang tapang, parang 'di takot sipunin at magkasakit ha?

"Ihatid niyo sa guest room at bigyan ng extra na pamalit. Give her everything she needs and asks for. I'll just shower," Zerxes then turned to me.

"Shower and eat first. Please don't get sick dahil ayaw 'kong masapak ng kuya mo. Jerale would freak out kapag nagkasakit ka dahil sa'kin," he said and went upstairs.

I laughed and followed the maids towards the guestroom. Loki is also following us. Nakakahiya naman.

"Let the maids know when you need or want anything. By the way, nasa dulo ng hall na ito ang kuwarto ni Lock. You two should talk after you do your things," ani Loki. Nagpasalamat ako at isinara na niya ang pinto.
