Chapter 8

"What really happened, Danae?" Nang-hihinalang tanong ni Hugo nang ilapag nya ang isang basong tubig sa harapan ko.

He was the one left with me in the cafè dahil sumunod ang iba kay Xavier para hanapin si Gwen.

"I lost her." Mahinang sagot ko bago bahagyang yumuko.

I can't believe that Xavier said that but the stickiness of my face tells me that it is all real. He threatened me just because Gwen is lost. I did not thought what will happen after I made Gwen disappear because I was so focused to the idea that she will be gone.

Nakakatakot ang nakita kong ekspresyon kanina mula kay Xavier kaya I prayed that they will never find Gwen because I am so scared if ever Xavier knew na winala ko talaga sya.

I never thought that Xavier can be a monster because of Gwen. I never thought that he can hurt me just because of that famewhore bitch.

Hugo just looked at me unbelievably before he went out of the cafè. Time passed by at gabi na pero hindi pa rin sila bumabalik. The owner already told me to go home dahil magsasara na sila but I did not left my place because I am waiting for them.

I stood when the door opened and somehow, I felt relieved when I saw Gwen but not because of she was found but because of the fact that Xavier will no longer be mad at me.

I gasped when Xavier grabbed my upper arm and gripped it hard which cause a groan from me. Agad syang hinila palayo ni Hugo pero hindi naalis ang masamang tingin sa akin ni Xavier kaya bumalik na naman ang takot ko.

"Do you know where we found her?!" Galit nyang sigaw which caused me to flinch. Pier and Caius held him away from me and I saw how Gwen's touch in his hand made him calm down a little.

"She's in calle Paleo (Paleo street) which is 2 kilometers from here. Now tell me, Danae, paano sya napunta doon when you were just supposed to find a restroom?!"

Hindi ako agad naka-sagot dahil sa takot. Xavier is looking sharply at me which is making my knees to tremble and my mind go blank.

"Tama na, Xavier. Gwen is found so there's no need to be angry." Mahinahon na sabi sa kanya ni Pier pero nanatili ang matalim nyang tingin sa akin.

"You tell me the truth now, Danae at baka sakaling mapatawad pa kita." Madiin nyang sabi.

"Did you purposely lost Gwen?" He shouted which made me shivered.

"Hindi."

Napatingin ako kay Gwen dahil sa sinabi nya. This is the first time, I felt happy because Xavier removed his stare at me. Somehow I felt relieved dahil nawala ang atensyon nya sa akin dahil kung hindi ay baka nahimatay na ako sa takot.

"Pina-alalahan nya ako na wag lumayo sa kanya tapos palagi rin nya akong tinitignan kung kasama pa nya ako. Sinabi ko naman sa iyo na noong pabalik na kami, naanod ako ng maraming tao at hindi ko namalayan na hindi ko na pala kasama si Daniella. Sinubukan kong bumalik dito kaya siguro ako napunta sa lugar na iyon." She said in a low tone.

Even though I should be thankful to Gwen because she is saving my ass ay naiirita pa rin ako sa kanya dahil mas maaawa lang sa kanya si Xavier. She's playing pa-bida again, psh!

"Maniwala ka sa akin, Vier. Walang kasalanan si Daniella." Sabi pa nya and I quickly rolled my eyes.

"Okay." Sagot ni Xavier bago nya hinila si Gwen palabas.

"Natulala ka na dyan?"

I blinked when I heard Finn's voice. Tinignan ko sya mula sa reflection nya sa salamin bago ako tumayo at umupo sa katabing upuan.
