Photographs of Her

10. Emergency

OCEAN'S POV

3:15 AM in the morning, I woke up feeling the cringing pain from my abdomen. I groggily stood up to take a leak, I grimaced when I felt it again while walking. Period cramps. Malapit na siguro akong datnan. I went back to bed to get more sleep.

"I'll try love, I'm not sure what time we'll land." I answered Kendrick from the other line. He just smiled assuringly. "Sige I'll give your tickets to Nads?" I just nodded at him and closed my eyes.

"Are you okay?" Kendrick asked me, I just assured him with a smile before hanging up, he's going to his practice, while I'm planning to just lie down and not come with them at the mall, masyadong masakit ang puson ko.

After exchanging our 'iloveyou's' I covered myself with the blanket and sleep again.

"Ocean, Ocean, wake up anak.." nagising ako sa mahihinang tapik ni Mommy sa akin. "Mom?" I asked half asleep.

"Are you okay? You look pale?" Mom asked a little worried. "I'm okay Mom, malapit na ata ako datnan I have these weird pre-period cramps." She just nodded ar my remark. "Take a bath, ayaw nilang umalis ng wala ka." She said before stalking herself out of my room.

I sighed and chatted Kendrick before going to the bathroom.

Wearing my black ribbed turtle neck and my black high-waisted waited jeans, paired with my 2 inch squared heel black velvet boots, I went out of my room. Para namang nabuhayan sila ng makita ako, they all went up so that we can go, I wore my big black aviators. Sa sasakyan na ako naglagay ng koonting cheektint at powder, since sa mall lang naman ang punta namin.

After arriving nagyaya agad sila sa kainan, tahimik lang akong sumusunod dahil wala ako sa mood, sobrang sakit na kasi ng puson ko, everymonth I experience this kind of pain,especially when my period is coming, also I noticed that I'm always delayed, like a week or so, mas sumasakit ang puson ko kapag may period na ako, I don't know, it sometimes feel weird because it's excruciating, there's this one time that I can't even stand because of the pain.

"Hey Aquie? Are you okay?" Ate Jade asked. I just smiled a little and nodded. We're currently in a Ramen House.

"Is Kendrick James you're boyfriend already?" Biglang tanong ni Daddy dahilan para matigilan ako.

"O-opo." Nahihiyang sabi ko dahilan para medyo mapangiti sila. Hindi na ako nakipagasaran pa at nagpatuloy kumain.

We had a little shopping, namili ako ng mga ipapasalubong sa HOUNDS, pati na rin kay Nads, I bought us two twinning football shirts, and also the perfume she really likes for her incoming birthday.

"Aquie are you sure you're fine? You look more pale now." Mom asked again while were walking out from the girl's comfort room. "Mom I'm okay don't worry."

KENDRICK'S POV

"Cap bakit ka distracted?" Inosenteng tanong ni Kean pagkatapos uminom. "Wala. Si Ocean kasi parang masama ang pakiramdam kanina. Maputla e."

"Ay hala? Baka nga may sakit Cap!" Sabat ni Jenis dahilan para lalo akong magalala, I've been flooding her messages since I read her chat that she's going out.

"Ay hala Cap! Sila Irina!" Natatarantang sabi ni Jigs habang nagpupunas ng katawan. I didn't bother looking at Irina's group dahil masyadong okupado ni Ocean ang utak ko.

"Hi babe!" Irina greeted me, she also tried to kiss me on the cheek pero umiwas ako.

"Why the sudden change KJ?" Parang iritang sabi ni Irina. Tss. Kung hindi ka lang kapatid ni Jenis. "I have a girlfriend Irina. Please don't do that again." Seryosong sabi ko bago kinuha ang mga gamit ko at naglakad palayo. Narinig ko pa ang pagtawag nila sakin pero hindi ko sila nilingon.
