I was awoken by the cold breeze that I can feel in my spine. The aircon is turned on, pero iba ang lamig na nararamdaman ko ngayon— like an eerie coldness. Plus, nakakumot ako so why would I feel coldness if I was purely covered with my blanket? Something seems...... not right.

Bumangon ako sa aking pagkakahiga at tumingin sa aking paligid. I looked at the clock, and it says that it is now 11:38 PM. My body is really aching right now, mukhang nagkasakit ako dahil sa pagligo ko sa ulan. Even though I'm in pain, I still tried na bumangon mula sa kama. I remembered that I cried my heart out bago ako natulog, so I immediately went in front of the mirror.

"Ugh, my eyes looks so puffy. I literally look like a mess right now. Paano ako papasok bukas?!" I blurted as I looked at my face, particularly my eyes. Medyo namamaga talaga ang mata ko, I think magiging halata to bukas pagkapas- wait? What is that noise? I looked back to where the sound is coming from.

It sounds like a faint knocking, and it is coming from my bedroom's window.

I tried to approach the window slowly. I am moving step by step towards it, dahil binabalutan ako ng takot. I am really afraid on what will I see in that window. "Come on, Lex. You're strong. You can do this." I cheered myself up before holding the window's curtain. I mustered all of my courage and lifted the curtain.

There was nothing.

"Phew." I sighed in relief. I was so scared of nothing. Akala ko pa naman kung ano na, baka pinaprank lang ako ng mga bata sa labas. I smiled and turned into the mirror again. My smile faded, and it is exchanged by fear. H-He's here. He's here!

Before I can even react, he showed his bladed knife and tried to slit my neck, but I held his hand really tightly. I looked around to find any weapon that I can use against him, but my sight shifted to the clock instead.

11:39

That seems familiar, it's like I saw it somewhere. "AHHHH!" I screamed as I felt the knife touching my neck. Blood poured out from there, but I am still holding his arms away from my neck. I am really trying my best, kahit sobrang sakit ng katawan ko. It seems like he wants to kill me the same way he killed Mom on my dreams.

"Lord, please help me. Please!" I shut my eyes and kept praying even though I am not doing this before. I prayed and prayed, since I am in the verge of dying right now. I need to be alive, I should not die this early. I should solve everything before I die, I can't leave without solving this mess.

I don't want to die because my friends are waiting for me.

Then the strong grip earlier became missing, so I opened my eyes, and there's nothing but my blood flowing out from the wound in my neck. Napakaraming dugo ang lumalabas mula sa aking leeg. I tried to hold it in order to block more blood from coming out. My eyes shifted back to the clock.

11:40

"Lex! Are you okay there?!" sigaw ni Dad outside my room. It seems that it hurts when I speak but I need to reassure my Dad that I'm okay. "I-i'm okay!" sigaw ko habang hawak ang aking leeg. Shet! Ang sakit!

I immediately went to the bathroom and tried to find the first aid kit. As sound as I found it, I opened it immediately and tried to find the needle and surgical thread. I don't have a choice but to sew this wound. It's quite long and big, so it needs stitches. I actually have experience on this nung naaksidente si Dom. I am the one who stitched his wound, since I am planning to be a doctor in the future.

"It needs at least six to seven stitches then I'll patch it up." sabi ko sa aking isipan. I tried to clean the wound first but I hissed at pain. Fucking hell! Hinuhugasan pa lang, sobrang sakit na! Paano pa kaya pag tinahi ko na?!

I tried to insert the surgical thread in the needle, but I keep on failing since my hands are shaking too much. I tried it several times, until it was finally inserted.

I took a deep breath since I'll be executing this without anesthesia. I exhaled and inserted the needle in my flesh. "SHIT!" I whispered as I slammed the bathroom door. It hurts, it really hurts! Tears kept falling from my eyes, I can't stop myself from crying. I tried to insert it again but I'm afraid to hurt myself again. But as times goes by, more blood will escape from my body.

I then took up my courage, this is going to be a long night.

"One last stitch." I said to myself as I inserted the thread in the flesh of my neck. It still fucking hurts. I succeed in stitching up my wound, then I applied medicine and patched it up. It hurts less now, but I can still feel the pain and trauma beneath me.

I cleaned the blood in the bathroom and the other mess, and went back to my room. I looked at the time and it is already 3:38 AM. Ang tagal kong ginamot yung sugat ko. I walked to my bed and laid down. I tried to sleep but I can't. I am totally afraid that he will return and and will continually kill me. I decided to stay awake, just in case. I don't know how will I show up tomorrow, but I still need to go to school tomorrow.

I'll just pretend that everything's alright.
