One Damn Shot of a Lifetime [COMPLETED]

Chapter 51: Sleeping Beauty

** ASHER'S POV **

We were just standing on the grassy field as the fresh air brush through our skin. It's been a month after that tragic incident and yet here I am with Axel staring at the tomb of the person he once loved.

"Are you okay?" tanong ko sa kanya at tinapik siya sa balikat. He had been devastated these past few days.

"Yeah. I just wished that I could have been a better brother to him." sabi niya.

"Hey, you were a great brother. You distanced yourself from your family just for him to not feel insecure anymore, you hid your identity as leader of Dauntless Regime so he wont get envious, and even at if he almost killed Cath and you untill his dying breath you considered him as a brother." I said to comfort him.

He just sighed and smiled. I do idolize this person's ability to control his emotions. He's so strong na kahit maraming masasamang nangyari sa buhay niya ay hindi pa din siya nagpalamon sa kalungkutan. He lost a sister, he lost a brother, and he almost lost the girl that he loved most, but he still kept his cool and analyzed the situations properly and logically. That's Axel Del Valle, kaya nga siya ang napili namin na gawing leader at hindi namin pinag sisihan 'yon.

"C'mmon, Cath is waiting for you."

"Yeah, let's go." sagot niya at naglakad na kami papunta sa sasakyan.

After 15 minutes of  driving we arrived and went in. We slowly opened her room door and there she was. With all those tubes and machines attached to her body. She's still sleeping like an angel even with those wires that's attached to her. She has been in a coma for a month now and today happens to be her birthday.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, to you!" Zane, Cayden, and Zayden sang energetically.

These three seemed to get along well, siguro kasi parehas sila may mga sakit sa utak. While Axel and Caius are still mortal enemies, but he seems to get along with Giovanni here na naka upo lang sa sofa na parang walang ganap sa paligid.

"Man! I can't believe it. You're 18 now cute girl! You're getting old!" pabirong sabi ni Zane. We still talk to Cath like she can here us or something.

"C'mmon sleeping beauty, how long are you going to sleep for?" Axel said in a genuine voice while touching my sisters cheeks. It amaze me how they're willing to fight and die for one another.

"Maybe a true loves kiss can help!" Caius said at nag akmang halikan si Catherine, and as expected Axel stopped him.

"Try and I'll rip your head off!" pagbabanta ni Axel.

Jeez, eto na naman sila. Para silang bata na pinag aagawan ang isang laruan. Caius never really denied his feelings for Cath and hindi siya natatakot na si Axel ang makakalaban niya. Kahit ang obvious na kung sino ang gusto ni Cath nag papakatanga pa rin ang lalaking 'to.

"Ang seloso, hindi naman boyfriend!" panglalaban ni Caius. Ang pikon na Axel naman ay umuusok na ang ilong, hindi ko alam kung ginagawa ito ni Caius kasi gusto niya talaga si Catherine or gusto niya lang asarin si Axel.

"Di bale hindi PA ako ang boyfriend, sigurado naman ako na ako ang gusto niya." hindi nag papatalo si Axel. Ano kaya kung wala akong papayagan sa kanilang dalawa na makipag boyfriend sa kapatid ko?

"Edi hintayin nalang natin pag gising niya."

"Talaga!"

"Suntukan nalang kayo, kung sino manalo magiging jowa si Cath!" Biglang nag salita si Zane at tinignan ko siya nang masama.

"You're on!" sinimulan nang hawakan ni Axel ang kwelyo ni Caius at agad ako mupagitan sa kanilang dalawa.

"Mag sitigil nga kayo! Hindi bagay ang kapatid ko para pag-agawan niyo! Zane! Nag suggest kapa talaga ha!" I said habang nilalayo silang dalawa. Ano sila? Elementary na nag aagawan ng laruan?

Tumawa lang ang tatlo na parang nage-enjoy pa sa nakikita nila. Gusto talaga nila mag basagan ng mukha 'tong dalawang 'to? Biglang tumayo si Giovanni at humarap sa dalawa.

"Hoy, ospital ito hindi boxing ring. I little respect for Catherine that's fighting for her life." seryoso niyang sabi at natigilan ang dalawa. Ayan si Giovanni lang pala ang katapat sa mga utak ng mga mokong na 'to eh.

"Ah man, ang KJ mo naman." Zayden exclaimed.

"Kung ikaw kaya bugbugin ko dyan?" natatawa lang talaga ako minsan sa Giovanni na 'to. Kalmado siya pero mainitin din ang ulo, mukhang magkakasundo din sila ni Garrett.

Ilang segundo lang ang lumipas at may narinig kaming katok sa pinto. Binuksan ko ito and speaking of the devil, dumating sila Garrett together with Caspian and Marcia.

"Hey dudes whatssup? Kumusta na birthday girl?" bati ni Caspian at inabot sa'kin ang isang basket ng prutas.

"Well, ito pa rin. Sleeping." sagot ko at tinignan ko ang kapatid ko na naka pikit lang ang mata. Hindi ko alam kung kailan siya magigising or... Kung magigising pa ba siya.

"Hey, she'll wake up. She's strong." parang nabasa ni Marcia ang isip ko at hinawakan ang balikat ko.

I know Marcia allied with Alex for Cath's capture but she told us that she regret her decision. Well of course we were hesitant at first but she promised ro repay her lapses.

"Hey I told you to stay away from her!"

Nagulat kami sa sumigaw at napalingon kami agad kung nasaan nang-galing 'yon.

"Damot! Hawakan ko lang naman ang mukha niya eh!"

Nag aaway na naman ang dalawa. Kaylan paba sila titigil? Pag ako mainis sa kanila hindi ko na sila ipapabisita dito!
