Red Strings Entanglement

CHAPTER 12

"You, b*tch!"sabi ni Amber at susugod na sana kay Penny nang biglang may sumigaw.

"Enough!"Napatingin kami kung saan nanggaling iyon at nakita namin si Jace. He was looking at us coldly but his body language was different. His knuckles were getting whiter. His jaws were clenched. His calm demeanor is gone.

"J-jace."The b*tchy Penny was now gone and was replaced by an innocent girl. Ang galing talaga niya mag-acting! Kung hindi siguro ako ang nasaktan niya at ngayon lang nakita ang nangyari. I might believe her. "S-she started it."she  pointed me. Hindi ito pinansin ni Jace at bigla nalang lumapit sa akin.

"Are you alright?"tanong niya at bigla nalang hinawakan ang mukha ko at tinignan ang mga sugat nito. I think my face might be so red, because of that slap! Hindi ko naman gusto na maisip niya na namumula ang pisngi ko dahil kinilig ako!

Nagulat nalang ako ng bigla niya akong binuhat, bridal-style. Napahawak ako sa batok niya dahil baka mahulog ako. I winced when he applied pressure on my back and his gaze...softened. "I'm sorry."
Wait. Did I hear it right? Jace freaking Montezalde apologized?! Maybe I didn't hit my back,  I might have hit my head!

He adjusted his position to hold me and it went to my shoulder so he would not apply pressure on my back.

"J-jace, a-ako ang sinaktan dito!"sigaw niya kaya humarap kami sa kanya. Her hands formed into fists, when she saw me in the hands of Jace.

"You started it first, Penny," Jace said, coldly.

"A-aray!Ang sakit ng paa ko!"sabi niya at bigla nalang natumba sa sahig habang hawak ang paa niya. No one was helping her, because they know that she was pretending."J-jace, help me!"

"Tss."Umalis na kami ni Jace sa cafeteria at dinala ako sa clinic. Nang makadating na kami sa clinic ay nakatingin sa amin ang nurse ng gulat na ekspresyon. Hiniga ako ni Jace sa bed at tumingin sa nurse.

"Check all of the bruises on her body. Especially her back. She was wincing earlier. "utos niya at tumango naman ang nurse at kumuha ng first aid kit.

"Okay lang ako, kaya ko na ang sarili ko."I stubbornly said. Tatayo na sana ako ng bigla nalang ako pinigilan ni Jace. Tinignan ko siya ng hindi makapaniwala pero wala parin ekspresyon sa mukha niya.

"Don't be stubborn."He was looking at me intently while the doctor was applying something to my back and some bruises. Hinawi niya ang kurtina upang tignan kung sino ang nasa labas at nang makita na niya at tumingin ito sa akin."Your friends are here."he said and left.

"Jewel!"rinig kong tawag sa akin ng tatlo. Hinawi nila ang puting kurtina at lumapit sa akin.

"Bakit hindi ka lumaban, tanga!"sabi ni Amber at bigla nalang ako binatukan.

"Ouch."I said sarcastically and hold my nape. Alam niyang galing ako nasaktan sa Penny na iyon at dagdagan niya pa.

"Okay ka lang, Jewel?"tanong sa akin ni Natasha.

"She's okay. " The nurse said, before leaving us alone.

"Bakit natagalan kayo?"tanong ko at bigla nalang silang ngumisi.

"Eh, syempre pinagtulungan namin ang Penny na iyon!"sabi ni Sapphire kaya hindi ko mapigilan na tumawa. Did they really do that?

"Grabi!Ang piling niya!"sabi ni Amber."J-jace!Nasasaktan ako!Like wtf?!"diring-diri niyang sabi.

"She was exaggerating."

"If Jace didn't come, I don't know what would happen." Sabi ni Natasha."Pero infairness, ang sweet niya kanina. Like parang na sa libro ganon. He was staring at Jewel and was angered that somebody hurt her. He approached her without giving a f*ck about Penny who was begging him, He only had eyes on you. When he approaches you, he picks you up bridal style and immediately goes to the clinic for you to get treated."
