His Firefly

Chapter 5

Team POV

This day is one of those days I woke up feeling numb..... The day where
I dont want to do anything nor associate myself with someone. I just want to box myself and not let the world enter in

I don't know why I feel this, "Maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed" I convince myself but I know I'm just fooling myself by this excuse.

"It's because of the nightmare, the darkest memory you keep on burying deep inside your mind"
"You can't ran away Team" my inner self bugged but I shaked my head to push the thoughts away

"Hey Team, still alive?" Manaow asked while waving her hands in my face

"Huh? What did you say again?" I asked

"Nothing, you seems off today. Your  staring at your food like it is the most interesting thing in the world, it wont eat itself Team. Finish your meal, our next class will start soon" she said, we are in the cafeteria and our morning class ended a while ago. I don't even remember anything. I was spacing out the whole morning and I know that Pharm and Manaow were worried that I didn't spoke a word the since then

I grab my bag and stood up suddenly
"I'll go home, tell the professor I'm not feeling well" I said and dejected myself from the group not waiting for them to speak their mind. I know it's seems rude but being surrounded by waves of people inside the cafeteria made me feel more anxious. The feeling of wanting to be alone kept growing as the students were getting loud.

I found myself standing in front of a glass door. It's not the dorm but rather the swimming pool. My feet drag me here unconsciously. Maybe because I know deep within me that this is what I needed. I need water......since it's the only thing that kept me alive all this years

I dropped my bag as I enter the building. I didn't waste time on removing my clothes as I dropped my self into the water. The feeling of the cold water surrounds me as if I'm being embraced by the comfort of it

I let my body sink as I stare the dim light above me. I closed my eyes as the memories of my solace drowned me

Flashback:

I was sitting alone at the edge of the pool wiping my tears off. I was in pain both physically and mentally. My lips was burst and my knee was scraped.

I'm sobbing quietly when a tap on my shoulder made me look at my side

"Hey what-" he froze when he saw my state.

"What the hell happened to you?! Did they hurt you again?! I'm going to kill them" He shouted and lifted his body to enter the house but I immidiately grab his hand

"No, please don't P'. It's my fault, it's all my fault. I-I broke her vase, the o-one that she got from him for their anniversary. This was my punishment" I plead to him, his expression soften as he saw my tears running down like a stream

"Stop crying na, I'm here" he sat down again and hugged me tight. I cried and hugged him back. He was the only one I have, I don't know what will happen to me if he wasn't with me

"Look at me Team" he said gently and cupped my face then I looked at him

"Mistake doesn't always come with punishment, Remind yourself that you are human and you are prone in making one. Don't let others nor yourself hurt you just because you messed up. You don't deserve pain Team" he reassured me then kissed my forehead

End of flashback

Whenever I am troubled he is always reassure me with his words and kiss in the forehead. He always dragged me to the pool to give me a piece of mind.

He's like water that gives life but it's also a water that drowns. His hug is my comfort, his words is my piece but after that night I sunk like a boat flipped in the ocean.

I was like a ship decend in the middle of the sea, surrounded by darkness, alone and forgotten.

Since that day I never had a chance pull my head up. I know I was the only one that can drew myself above to gasp air, to breathe again..... as no one knows I'm under the water grave yet I can't....I don't have a reason to, so I just held my breath until there's no left. And since I'm still alive, coping. I guess I still have air but I know I'll ran out.......... soon

I opened my eyes and I was still surrounded by the dark but there is a lit of light. Someone's calling me yet I didn't move.

I'm at the bottom of the pool and I feel numb. "Is this the feeling of death, no hurt no pain" I thought to myself

3rd Person POV

As if a cue, someone dived into pool and grab Team's waist and drag him up. As they reach the top, the one who saved him gasped air but team didn't.

"Hey, what the hell are you doi-" he was cut off when the boy just looked at him with a dead eyes.

"Team, Hey!" He continuesly said while lightly slapping Team's cheeks. He successfully caught Team's attention as the boy breathe again and look at him with confusion.

"Hia" He said with a raspy voice

"Are you out of your mind? What the fuck are you doing there?" Win raised his voice. Team was shocked with the senior uproach, he didn't realize a tear rolled down to his cheeks and he starts to sob. Win immidiately soften his gaze and hugged the junior.

"I'm sorry na, I won't raise my voice again" the senior console Team until he stopped crying. Win raised Team chin and wipped the boy's tears with his thumb

"Let's get out the pool and I'll send you home okay?" Win gently said and Team just nodded then the elder lift himself out of the pool then helped Team
