Rafael Attkinson was just a typical student - by typical, I mean the almost perfect student which leads him to be featured at the annual STATUS article featuring the lovelife of the campus kings and queens, atleast that's what he thinks. But the tab...

RAFAEL
"Goddamn it!" Hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. That goddamn man is about to fucking jump! What should I do?
My legs are trembling but it's like they have their own mind 'cause I found myself running to save that man's life. My heart starts to beat faster and faster every second. Tumalon naba sya? Am I late?
"L-Let go!" I slowly opened my eyes and I was a bit relieved that I was holding to his wrist except for the fact that he wants me to let go. "What the fuck are you thinking?" Hinila ko sya pataas ang I saw him flinch as if he was hurting whenever I put pressure on his wrist "Give me your other hand..." Medyo pautos kong sabi.
I can see him holding back.
"Please" Unti-unti nyang ini abot sakin ang kamay nya but I felt some liquid dripping on my other hand and it's already slipping. Was that blood?
"Sorry about this but-" I gripped his wrist tightly and pulled him up using all my force. Nakita ko ang pag aray nya pero hindi ko iyon pinansin at hinila parin sya. Napa upo ako ng maramdaman ko ang panghihina matapos ko syang iligtas.
My eyes was still closed when the rain started pouring "This is the worst day of my life..." When I opened my eyes I saw that guy who tried to kill himself, lying on the floor, unconscious with blood continuously dripping on his wrist. "...But this day is much worse for him"
...
It was still raining when I brought him back home kaya basang-basa ako. No one was there, even Claire. She always dissappear.
I was just staring at this guy who is looking comfortable while sleeping. He took over my bed! I don't really like to bring people in my room but in this situation, I feel like I needed to.
Since no one is here I decided to bring him, it's not like may iba rin akong pagdadalhan sakanya. I saw him move kaya nagmadali akong kunin ang libro at nag kunwaring nag babasa. "What... am I doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious? I brought you here" Inilapag ko ang libro at tinignan dya habang naka krus ang mga braso. He's staring at his wrist. I put bandages to it and I also changed him. "I need to go" Akmang tatayo na sana sya ng pigilan ko sya.
"Eat first, according to my observations, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday. You passed out because of pain and hunger. So just eat because if you dont you'll pass out and the next day you'll be found dead in the streets" Mapang-asar na sabi ko ngunit hindi nag bago ang expression nya.
