Murder of Order

Chapter 38

My steps were light as a feather when I made my way out of the silo. I also deliberately left my flashlight off so I could get to them without being noticed.

I was tracing the footwalk in the dark but my eyes were locked on Hax and Eliana's silhouettes close by the patio. There's a small light coming from the solar lamp inside the house which makes their silhouettes visible, giving me a bit of an advantage.

The wind is a bit strong tonight making the leaves and twigs of trees spread out on our property produce that forestial whooshes. Everything is peaceful, except for my heart that's beating so bad.

I'm obviously feeling nervous right now. Though I know there's a very low chance that they would notice me coming because of the complete absence of light from my area, I'm still nervous thinking Eliana might see me before she could act up on Hax.

On that case, she wouldn't carry on with her plan on him anymore and that's something I wanna avoid. I want to catch her red-handed, being on her flirtiest behavior so I could have the best reason to kick her out immediately.

As I got closer to them, I started hearing their indistinct exchange of words making me even more nervous.

And now that nervousness just worsens after every awful scenarios I get to create inside my head. I've never been on a catfight before so if ever Eliana gets atrocious tonight, it is then probably gonna be my first time ever.

I'm not sure how bad things will get for us but I hope it won't be as awful as I imagine.

"If you don't like me then why are you still talking to me right now?"

Agad akong napahinto nang marinig ko ang tanong na iyon ni Eliana.

I can no longer determine what I exactly feel at this moment. Biglang nagsidagsaan ang iba't-ibang emosyon sa sistema ko at ngayo'y naninikip na ng husto ang dibdib ko dahil dito.

I was just nervous a while ago but now I am feeling anxious thinking of what I might hear from Hax.

I trust him and there's no question on that.

But right now, I want to hear an answer from him on that question.

"You told me you got something important to say Eliana and as an educated person, I would like to be civil with you so here I am. Now if you got nothing to say then I'm leaving."

"Wait" Eliana grasp Hax's wrist but he immediately shake it free. "You know I like you, right?"

"I know-"

"I like you so much Hax that I would do anything for you."

"Eliana, I don't-"

"I know you are attracted to me too Hax. I can tell with the way you stare at me..." My breathing instantly hitch at that. She's crazy. "You smile at me when no one is looking and you even secretly talk to me..." Seriously? "You've always been nice to me despite everyone else hating on me. I know you are just acting like you hate me to protect yourself from Magara and I understand. We can just keep things a secret between us Hax. You can trust me with that."

What kind of bullshit is this?

What the hell is she saying?

This is ridiculous!

I heaved deeply to calm my shaking flesh.

Fuck it!

I feel like crying right now.

The last time I had this kind of feeling was when I saw that video of Alex and Eliana kissing.

This kind of pain and jealousy is too much.
