One Person, Three Identities [COMPLETED]

Chapter 36

ALEXANDRA HENRIETTE

Agad kong binuhay ang makina ng sasakyan ko at nagmaneho palayo. Palayo sa bar. Palayo sa kanya.

I don't know how long I've been driving or where exactly am I headed and just decided to stop at a bar, I don't know where.

You would think, 'why not just drink at Kirai o Tsubusu?' Well, my reason's simple. I want to be alone, away from them.

After ordering and drinking the strongest liquor they could offer for almost an hour, I'm starting to get drunk so I decided to go home.

I went out of the bar, inside my car, and drove out of the bar's parking lot.

I planned to go home, kaya lang, hindi ko nga pala alam kung saang lupalop ako naroroon! Argh! Just great!

Since I'm not sure where I'm actually headed, tinahak ko na lang ang direksyon na natatandaan kong pinanggalingan ko.

Sh*t! Ang sakit ng ulo ko! Inom pa Alexa! Inom pa!

I was in the middle of cursing myself when my phone rang. Kinuha ko yung phone ko at tinignan kung sino ang tumatawag before tapping the answer button.

CODY XANDER

Everything happened too fast. Too fast that it didn't immediately sank in.

One moment we're chasing after Alexa, then, we were too shocked of what just unfolded to move. Only realizing that Alexa left without a single word, so I brought back my attention to my, still stunned, friends.

Nakabulagta ang pinto sa sahig habang nakaupo si Jared sa gilid ng kama at sa kabilang gilid naman ay ang babaeng kasa-kasama niya.

Napatingin ako kay Naomi dahil mas nag-aalala ako sa magagawa niya kaysa sa kaya kong gawin. Walang kahit anong emosyon ang makikita, bukod sa matinding galit, sa kanya. Which scared me, a lot.

Lalapitan ko sana siya para pakalmahin, but I was too late.

Walang sabi-sabi niyang sinugod si Jared, na ngayon nga'y nakaupo na sa sahig. I knew it.

"NAOMI!!!"

"Sh*t." Tanging nasabi ko at nagmadaling awatin si Naomi nang ambang susuntukin niya na naman si Jared.

"F*CK YOU! P*TA KA! G*GO! TAR*NTAD*! SHE GAVE YOU A CHANCE AND LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! INIWAN MO NA NGA NOON! PINAGTAKSILAN MO NAMAN NGAYON! ANONG KLASE KA JARED ASHTON! IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ALEXA?! I'LL F*CKING KILL YOU!!"

Pati ako ay natakot sa pagsigaw ni Naomi na siyang nagpupumilit pa ring kumawala sa akin. Alam kong hindi lang ako ang kinabahan sa sigaw niyang 'yon.

"Scarlette, please calm down." I whispered to her, trying to calm her down.

Nagulat ako ng humarap ito at sumigaw na naman.

"CALM DOWN?! YOU'RE TELLING ME TO F*CKING CALM DOWN?! TELL ME CODY! HOW THE HELL WILL I CALM THE F*CK DOWN?!"

"Please, just calm down! Sa tingin mo ba mahahanap natin si Alexa sa pagsigaw at pagbugbog mo kay Jared?! Can we please, please set aside your anger and focus on Alexa first?!" I couldn't help but raise my voice at her.

Mukha namang natauhan siya kahit papaano at napayuko. Niyakap ko siya nang makita kong tumutulo na ang mga luha niya.

I know she's just worried for Alexa, but I needed to shout at her because she's being taken over by her panic and fear, as well as her anger.

Bumaling ako sa kasama namin, "What are you waiting for? Kontakin niyo na si Alexa!" Tsk. Nakalimutan ata nilang 'di drama ang nasa harap nila at mga masyadong nag-enjoy tumunganga.
