Maybe This Time

Anything for you

Beatriz

Since our training started our routine became me picking up Jho, training, lunch with teammates, and rest either at Jho's place, my place, or the ALE dorm. It's starting to get stressful because the conference is about to start as well as our first sem, syempre we are students first before athletes kaya we can't just neglect our studies

For this conference we only have one training per day. It's usually in the morning but today the coaches had like a press conference as a part of the opening ceremony ata that's why it was moved to afternoon.

"Ano plans mo this weekend Beatriz?"  Jho asked. "Uhm game? Baket ano meron?" I answered because it's our 1st game din talaga this saturday, as far as i know.

"Huh? Anong game? Yun lang? Birthday mo na yun huy" Jho. Well, oops i totally forgot. "Oh yah I almost forgot about it. Pero wala pa talaga just the game palang" I said.

"Baket you're gonna take me out on a date no? Okay lang naman" I added and winked at Jho. "Sira ka talaga! Ewan ko sayo" she threw a pillow on me 🤦‍♀️ sadista talaga.

"Is tita gonna watch our game? Kawawa naman si Auds walang kasama, ikaw kasi you dont wanna stay in your condo" I asked Jho. Well Tita and Jaja kasi went back to batangas na because school has started already while si Auds naman stayed here in Manila because she transferred here in Ateneo as well. Jho? Prefers to stay pa din sa dorm para daw madali mag training.

"Oo ata. Auds nanaman! Hmp" She answered coldly. "Grabe naman my baby selos naman agad tinanong ko lang po" I said as i hugged her because she's looking at me with her laser eyes. "Hay nako tigil tigilan mo ko Beatriz ha!" As she tries to let go of my hug. I know na how to suyo this girl. "Hmm what do you want? Kain tayo. Sambo? Ramen? Pepper lunch?" I asked. "Potato corner" she answered coldly. "Okay commander let's go!" See? It's that simple HAHAHA One of the reasons why I love her, it's the little things that makes her happy talaga.

"Jhow eat fast please we have training pa" I pleaded Jho because we need to be home by 30 minutes. "Oo na oo naaa last na bili lang ako ng siomai" Jho. Yes we both love foods pero iba talaga si Jho as in food is on top of her every list.

Luckily we arrived just on time for training. Coach seems to be a little bit more serious today making sure that each of us moves flawlessly since the conference is this weekend already. "Tara na guys spiking drills na" Mich, who will be our captain for this conference.

We are in the middle of our free spiking drill when we heard a really loud scream "ouch!" that's from a very familiar voice, and shit "Jho! Are you okay?" I said as i quickly ran to her.

"Ouch shit I think it's my ankle" Jho said while squeezing my hand. I can just imagine how painful it is because tbh, ang sakit din ng pag squeeze nya sa kamay ko. We're all surrounding her already because it looks like it's something bad, wag naman sana though, kasi we'll be needing her for this conference and of course we wouldn't want anybody injured.

"Kaya mo maglakad Jho?" Ate Bets our PT asked Jho as we assist her to stand up. "Ouch ouch" Well that's Jho when she tried to walk. "Here let me carry you nalang" I carried her up to the sports clinic para Ate Bets can check her.

"Sige na Bei balik ka na ako na bahala kay Jho" Ate Bets. I looked at Jho and tumango lang siya, signaling for me to go back na. "Sige Ate Bets. I'll be back later" I patted Jho's back.

"Asus si Bea, ako nahihilo sayo lingon ka ng lingon sa clinic" Jia tapped me. "Mag focus ka nga muna sumbong kita kay coach sige ka" she added. "Whatever Jia, i'm just concerned okay" I said and rolled my eyes on her.

I know that Jho is in good hands naman especially with Ate Bets. But that was a really loud scream and i really hope it's nothing serious. Training went on and after I showered I picked up Jho already.

"Ayan na yung sundo mo Jho kanina pa daw di mapakali yan sabi ni Jia" Ate Bets. "Hay nako Ate Bets ako na binubully mo ngayon ha" I said. "Hay nako sprain lang Bei. Pero bawal muna mag training ha at least a week para di lumala, okay Jho?" Ate Bets reminded Jho.

"So where tayo Jho? Wag muna kaya sa dorm para hindi stairs. What about your condo?" I said as we settled ourselves in the car. "Sus gusto mo lang makita si Auds eh. Oo na" Oh my goodness, she's injured already pero selos padin, face palm nalang talaga.

We're at her place na and you can really see that Jho is in pain. Her foot is actually heavily taped and bandaged. Every time she moves din you can hear her complaining of the pain. "I'll stay here nalang kaya muna?" I said. "Di na beh kasama ko naman si Auds tsaka bukas daw bibigyan ako ng walking boots to help me walk" Jho. "Hmm no i'll stay the night na lang para I can help you okay? So now you can rest na" I said and luckily pumayag nalang din si Jho.

I tried my very best to cook something for her pero breakfast food lang talaga kaya ko lutuin since it's my favorite. I cooked some corned beef and hotdog lang for our dinner para sure na hindi ko masusunog. "You have no choice but mag-tiis sa kaya kong lutuin so here eat na" I said as I gave Jho food. "Ay anong kaartehan yan cous ha" Auds said as soon as she arrived. "Auds you're here na pala" I said. "Masyado kasing nakatitig sakin kanina habang training ayan tuloy napilay" I added. "Excuse me Beatriz ha! At tsaka isa pa akin na nga yan paa ko lang napilay 'no kaya ko naman kumain. At ikaw cous? inggit ka lang bleh" Jho, she's such a bully din talaga lalo na to her cousin."Ay nako oo talaga cous kaya kung ako sayo wag mo pakawalan yan si Bea kasi kukunin ko talaga yan, CHAROT! HAHAHA" Auds said and we all laughed naman.

After dinner quick catch up lang with Auds and then we decided to take a rest na din since it's been a long day and maaga pa kami tomorrow. Jho won't train but she needs to be there with Ate Bets kasi plus we'll let coach know pa that she might not be able to play for our first few games. "May extra clothes ako dyan sa drawer hanapin mo nalang" she said.

"Thanks for staying beh" Jho. "Ano ka ba it's nothing, super tight kaya ng hawak mo sa hands ko kanina obviously you're in so much pain and I am more than willing to help you baka malagot ako kay Tita Lovel pag hindi eh" I joked, cheering her up and assuring her that I am more than willing to be here for her. Knowing Jho kahit she's in so much pain na as long as she can, she won't ask for help but with her case and as an athlete being makulit like her might just prolong her recovery kaya I wanna be here for her din. 

Plus of course anything for the girl that I love. Cheezy? IKR but Ate Den said just let yourself feel it.
