Chapter 13

Roof Top

Jax immediately held my face. "Cali, breathe."

He started to inhale and exhale, so I followed him while tears are still flowing down my face. Paulit-ulit namin iyon ginawa ni Jax.

"Kukuha lang ako ng tubig," Chance said.

Nang medyo humupa na ang paninikip ng dibdib ay nagsalita na ako. Tears are still pooling my eyes.

"I-I got scared. I feel like... Like someone is following me. Like someone will take me again."

Kitang-kita ko ang pag-aalala sa mukha ni Jax. Hindi nawala ang kanyang mga kamay sa magkabilang pisngi ko.

"Nandito ako. Hindi ko hahayaan 'yun," he assured me.

Hindi ko rin maintindihan kung bakit ako sobrang natakot and it resulted to a panic attack. I shouldn't be scared, I'm inside the campus. Before the culprints can trespass the academy, they need to endure tons of security guards just in front of the gate. Iba pa ang mga bantay sa loob. Hindi rin bubuksan ang gate kapag walang student identification card and iba pang requirements. Imposible talagang may makapasok na hindi tiga rito.

And the two kidnappers were already in jail. The police tracked them down right away using the account were Jax transferred the money. The only problem now is that the mastermind and all the other people involve in that organization are still out there.

I think I need another session with my psychiatrist. Hindi pwede iyong ganito na lagi akong natatakot. I feel like I should take self-defense class too. Sa huling update ni Kuya Kairon sa amin, meron silang ganoong class sa Garnet Academy. Aside sa mixed martial arts, tinuturuan din sila ng target shooting at bow & arrow.

Sayang at wala kaming mga ganoong klaseng classes. Sapphire Academy focus highly on academics. While Zircon Academy, where Ate Ariyah is studying, is more like a business school.

I even heard about the big academy in the south that specialize classes like what Garnet have. Trainings were heavy along with academics. Mga kilalang pangalan lang din ang mga nakakapasok. Kuya were about to consider it, but when our parents found out how far the academy is, hindi sila pumayag.

"Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?

Agad akong umiling kay Jax. I already feel better now.

"Tagal ni Chance. Sa balon ata kumuha ng tubig!" reklamo pa niya.

Pinalis ko naman ang mga natitirang luha sa mata. Ngayon ay talagang kalmado na ako. This is his magic... Jax. He just feels safe.

He got his tumbler and handed it to me. "Inumin mo na 'to... Nainuman ko na pero kaunti lang naman. Nag-totoothbrush ako three times a day, promise!"

Inabot ko na iyon at ininuman. Habang umiinom ay naiiyak ulit ako. How could I accuse him of cheating? I felt so bad right then and there.

Naubos ko ang tubig at inabot na ang tumbler kay Jax.

"I'm really sorry..." I said while tears started to fall down my face again.

"Hala..." aniya at nag-panic. Agad niyang pinunasan iyong luha sa mata ko gamit ang mga daliri niya. "Okay lang kahit maubos mo 'tong tubig, Cali! 'Wag kang umiyak!"

Marahas akong umiling. "I'm sorry... I was wrong! Hindi ko dapat 'yun sinabi sa 'yo! Judgement got the best of me. Hindi ako nag-isip ng maigi. Alam ko naman na magaling ka talaga... I should never discredit you. You are good, Jax. I'm sorry."
