Chapter 10: Care
Sandara's POV
Ilang minuto na ang nakalipas at bigla ako nakarinig ng isang komosyon sa labas.Agad naman akong lumabas sa dorm room at nakita ag mga babae nakakalat sa hallway at nag-chichismisan.
But hindi sila mukhang excited more like worried and scared.
"What the hell is going on?" tanong ko sa isa sa mga babae "Cameron the student council president is having an panic attack and also hurting himsel---." hindi naman niya natuloy ang kanyang sasabihin dahil umimik ako.
Malakas ang kabog ng puso ko habang yapak na kumaripas ng takbo papunta sa kinaroroonan niya.He crossed the line,and i can't let him hurt himself.
"One move and i'll hurt myself." rinig kong sabi niya.Agad naman akong tumakbo papunta sa kanya at yinakap ng mahigpit.
His arms are bloody and he was bawling his eyes out while we were hugging each other.
Bahid naman sa mukha ni Selena at sa isang babae ang pagkagulat.
"C-can you close the door for us please?" i said while still hugging him "A-alexandria..." he said while sobbing in my shoulders.
Nakalas naman ang yakap namin,tumayo naman ako at kinuha ang first aid kit.
"Pwede bang sa labas muna kayo,i need to speak with him PRIVATELY." i said sharply they quickly nodded and went away.
I sighed and looked up and saw my self portrait hanging on the top of the fireplace.
Puro dugo ang aking kamay pati ang aking white dress.Nut i don't care.As long as he's okay.I'm fine.
I akwardly smiled him and started to clean his wound.
"Sandara Leonora exchange student from L.A your girlfriend's doppleganger." i said to him and looked at the painting to him.
I hope he does'nt recognize me by saying this "As long as your okay,i'm fine i'm your knight and shining armor that always shine through your darkest times." nagulat naman siya at nanahimik.
Napahagulhol naman siya at napatungo "Shhhhhh." i patted him at the back while he's crying uncontrolably.
I hugged him back tigthly.Grabe,lumaki ka na talaga Cameron!ang bigat mo na halos di ka na magkasya sa bisig ko.I really missed you.
I patted his shoulder.He looked at me with his deep blue eyes like it was the ocean.I flashed an crooked smile at him and he chuckled.
Don't cry.Don't cry.Don't cry.
"FOR GODS SAKE!THANK GODNESS YOUR OKAY!" a familiar voice yelled and an student in an different uniform barged into the office.While we're hugging.
I helped him stand up.Oh is that?Percy!my bestfriend.
"PUTANGINA!"
He yelled lumuwa naman ang dalawang babae at isang lalake sa pintuan.James!Ashe and Venus!
They gasped as they saw me hugging Cameron "Babe!" rinig kong sigaw ng pinaka-nakakairita na boses sa buong mundo.
Tinulungan ko naman tumayo si Cameron.Halos mawala ang kulay sa mukha ni Miranda ng makita ako.
"W-who i-is GIRL!" she yelled while pointing at me "None of your bussiness." he said coldly on his cold baritone voice.
Napataas naman siya ng kilay and so am i "At sino ka naman para taasan ako ng boses?the name is Sandara Leonora exchange student from L.A,If you'll excuse me we're going to the hospital." she gasped and so as my friends eavesdropping with the door wide open.
"Tara."i said sharply and pulled Cameron ito the nurses office.
Naiwan naman akong nakaupo sa sofa habang ginagamot ng nurse ang kanyang sugat.
"You'll need to talk to the counselor later,Mr.Hernandez thank god that blade does'nt have rust.You could have been killed!" the nurse exclaimed while cleaning his wounds.Minasahe ko naman ang aking sentido.
Gosh,baka kilala niya na ako!
"And you!Ms.Leonora,thank goodness you stop him on the spot." ani ng nurse at nginitian ako,tumango naman ako.
"Also you need to change your clothes and clean yourself,you looked like you just murdered someone." i chuckled and nodded,iniabutan naman niya ako ng damit at agad naman akong nagpalit sa CR.
"Cameron!wag na wag mo na uli yon' gagawin ha,mabuti't di namin tinawagan ang police."
Rinig kong asik ng nurse sa kanya.Matapos akong mag-linis ng aking sarili ay nag-paalam naman ako sa nurse na sa labas nalang ako mag-iintay.
"S-sandara?the exchange student from L.A right?" tanong ng boses ni Ashe habang naluluha,habang ang tumatapik naman ng likod niya ay si James at Venus na mukhang umiiyak rin.Si Percy naman ay tahimik lang habang nakatitig sa akin.
"U-uhm yes." i said while stuttering,napataas naman ako ng kilay "Why?" i asked.
"N-nevermind..." ani ni Venus at dahan-dahang tumalikod at umalis na habang tahimik silang umiiyak.
I feel bad for not showing myself at them for two years.And lying that i was dead but actually not.I've made a really bad descision on going here in the Philippines and just for revenge.Konti nalang kaya ko ng abutin ang katotohanan.Kailangan ko lang tandaan kung ano yung markang yon.
-------
Halos apat na oras na ang nakalipas ng pumasok sa loob ng counselor's office.Napahiga naman ako sa bench at napatitig sa buwan.Unti-unti namang napapikit ang aking mata.
"Pssst..." napabalikwas naman ako at nagmamadaling tumayo "Ba't di ka na nauna?" tanong niya pero di ako sumagot.
Nagulat naman ako ng bigla niya akong yakapin "Just because na kamukha ako ng iyong girlfriend does'nt mean you can hug me all the time." i said sharply and crossed my arms.
"Don't go to school tommorow,rest and you'll feel better." ma-awtoridad kong sinabi sa kanya.Napatango naman siya.
"Sir Cameron..." ani ng kanhang driver habang binuksan ang sasakyan para sa kanya "See you." i said and waved my hand good-bye to him as the vehicle drove away.
I sighed and quickly went to the my dorm room "Oh,your finally here i heard what happened to Cameron." aniya habang nag-babasa ng libro.
Nanlaki naman ang mata ko ng makakita ng pulang marka sa leeg niya "You have an hickey." i said boringly.Her face went red and quickly covered her neck with an scarf.
"Ooooooh la la."
