Please, Bear with Me

Finally

Moments of silence suddenly enveloped the place when I slowly opened my eyes. I’ m in the clinic? I asked myself while softly motioned my body and got up. I saw nothing, someone, or even the nurse who’ s attending me. Nagdesisyon akong lumabas ng clinic at tumungo sa corridor baka sakaling nandun ang tumulong sakin na dalhin ako rito, but then I saw no one.

Nanlumong umalis ako ng tuluyan sa main building. I stopped walking midway and sat on one of the stairs, that’ s when I noticed that I’ m still wearing my uniform. I heaved a deep sigh then resides to stood up again when I suddenly hear a familiar voice behind me. I looked back and saw Damon smirking at me with both of his hands on the front pocket.

“Are you hurt?” He asked, still smirking at me.

I didn’ t say anything but instead I continued to step my feet on the long stairs, not minding he’ s behind me and that my heart began to throbbed very fast. Don’ t mind him, Angie! I said on my head again and again until I finally arrived on the parking area.

“Are you done?” He whispered but I still managed to hear it clearly.

What you want from me? I looked at him again and there was pain behind his eyes.

“Nasasaktan ako, Angie.” A tear fall from his eyes. “Nasasaktan ako sa paraan ng pagtitig mo sakin, parang pinapakita mo lang na hindi ka naapektuhan sa sinasabi ko sa’ yo kagabi. I-I did everything I could para mapansin mo ako p-pero. . . Iba pala ang naging outcome nito.” Mahabang lintanya pero nanatili akong nakatitig sa kanya.

“Regarding what you’ ve asked earlier, Damon? Yes, I’ m done with you. I’ m so done with you that’ s why. . . Stop coming to me, you piece of shit!” Malutong mura ko sa harap ng mukha niya bago tinalikuran siya at pumasok sakin kotse para tuluyang umalis.

I left him alone. . . Again, along with despair joining with his pain.

I’ m so sorry, Damon for cursing at you. This is the end. The story of us had finally come to its end . . .
