EDWARD'S POV:
The game's over and as expected, we won! We did a quick huddle before coach dismissed us. I bring out my spare uniform and towel and hang it on my shoulder but I will take a shower later; I need to see her first. I hurriedly went out of the locker room. As I come near my friends, I noticed she's not with them. Where is she?
"Where is Kirsten?" I asked firmly when I got near them. San na naman kaya nagpunta yun?
"She said she'll be going to the bathroom." Answered Marco. "But--- that was more than 20 minutes ago."
"What?!" I hollered. "How can you be so careless? I told you to look after her!" Damn it! Ang simple na nga ng instruction di pa nila masunod. Galit na naman ako.
"Sorry bro, nag-enjoy kasi kami sa panonood kaya di namin namalayan na di pa pala sya nakakabalik simula kanina." Paliwanag ni Christian.
"Damn it!" I blasphemed.
I took Marco's phone and tried to call her but her phone just keeps on ringing. I dialed multiple times but it's all futile. Darn it Kirsten! Where are you?!
I let out a furious sigh. "Spread out! Don't stop searching until you find her!" I ordered. They instantly went out the field to find her. I don't feel right. Bigla akong kinabahan. I swear I could kill a person if something happens to her.I dialed her number one last time hoping she'll answer...then...on the fourth ring...
"Kirsten---" I was cut off my sentence when she speaks.
"E...Edward...pl-please... get me..." She stated weakly.
"Where are you?" I was panicking. Anong nangyayari sa kanya?
"L...la-dies room..." Hindi ko na hinintay ang mga susunod an sasabihin nya, I went to the ladies room as fast as I could only to realized that the stadium had 8 ladies rooms. I checked them one by one until I'm down to the last one. Malayo pa lang natanaw ko ng may lalaki syang kasama but I ignored it. What matters to me now is her, so I will set aside any jelousy I am feeling right now. I paused in disbelief nung makita ko ang itsura nya. Her hair is a total mess, she had bruises and scratches all over and her eyes were swollen. Suddenly, she looked up and met my gaze. She tried to stand but her knees are preventing her to do so. When realization strikes me, I run towards her and kneeled down so I can hugged her. The moment she wrapped her arms around my neck, she broke down. Hearing her weep made me felt useless, nagagalit ako sa sarili ko kasi wala ako nung mga oras na kailangan nya ko. Bakit ngaun pa nangyari to? I promised myself to be with her all the time but I failed and this happened. Damn it! I cursed.
I took a deep breath. I run my fingers through her hair. "Shhh...sorry babe, I came late...but I am here." I assured her. She weeps even more. Hinayaan ko lang syang umiyak. I didn't even bother to ask what happen. Saka na, kapag kalmado na sya.
"Dude, you're girlfriend almost got killed." Bigla ay saad nung lalaki. "A woman was attacking her when I saw her." He said in details. Mas lalo akong nakaramdam ng disappointment sa sarili ko. Hindi ko man lang sya naproktehan. So, he saved her? Damn! That should be me! "You should take her home. She won't let me bring her to the clinic. Kaya ginamot ko na lang yung sugat nya. Kanina ka pa nya hinihintay." He's such a blabbermouth.
"Thanks..." I said halfheartedly.
"And one more thing dude, her clothes has been tattered; she was partly uhm...naked so... I cover her up."
"What?!" Di ko na napigilang magreact dahil sa sinabi nya. I grabbed him by the collar using my other hand. "So sinilipan mo sya?!" I hollered. Nawala sa isip kung nakayakap sa kin si Kirsten dahil sa narinig ko.
"No! I swear dude, I didn't see a thing!" Inalis nya ang pagkakahawak ko sa damit nya. Tinignan ko sya ng masama.
Kirsten let go of the hug. "Edward, p-please...wala syang...kasalanan." She said faintly. "I...I just want to go home."
I let out a deep sigh. "Okay babe, I'll take you home. But first, you have to wear this." I handed her my spare shirt. She accepted it. I assisted her as she overlaps it to her torn clothes.
"I'm Micael by the way." He laid his hand for a handshake but I just stared at it. Bakit ba parang wala syang balak umalis? He took it away when I didn't take it. "So, you're the team captain right?" My eyebrow furrowed sardonically. Ano naman ngayon? "I'm from St. Patrick's Academy." Seriously, he's too nosy!
"Look, I don't give a damn so please shut up! I'm just here for my girlfriend that's all!" I stated firmly.
He just shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, loud and clear!" He said mockingly.
I firmly handed him his jacket. "Thanks for your jacket but she doesn't need it anymore. And I guess you don't have business here so you can go now." I said sarcastically.
"Edward t-tama na yan please..." Suway ni Kirsten. Bakit ako?
He smirked. "So, Kirsten, I have to go na. Pagaling ka ha and be careful next time. I'll keep in touch." Mapang-asar na tinignan nya ko nung sinabi nyang he'll keep in touch. I tried hard to hold my anger pero kanina ko pa gustong kutusan 'tong lalaking 'to. Then, unexpectedly, he stooped down and gave her a peck on the cheeks. What the f*ck!
"T-thank you again Micael...so much! I o-owe you one." Kirsten said. Pwede ba, pasapak kahit isa lang?
"You are very much welcome. Bye!" I threw him with a dagger look. He just grinned and walked away.
"Damn it!" I silently cursed for my hearing only. Sa totoo lang, ang hirap magpigil ng galit. Pero kakayanin, basta para sa kanya. I pretend to smile when I faced her. "Piggy back?"
"No, I can s-still walk I guess. I j-just need a little help." Tanggi nya.
"Why would you need to walk if I can carry you?" I insisted.
"Edward please... I d-don't have much strength to argue with you." She said weakly.
"Okay, babe..." I reluctantly agreed. I went near her and helped her to stand pero bago pa sya tuluyang makatayo, napapaupo ulit sya dahil sa sakit. I couldn't just watch her getting hurt so without thinking twice; I decided to carry her, bridal style. She was about to struggle but I didn't let her. "Babe, you've been hurt enough. At kung kaya ko lang akuin yung sakit, ginawa ko na kanina pa. But I know I couldn't, so please, kahit sa ganitong paraan lang, mabawasan ko yung sakit na nararamdaman mo." I said sincerely. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko nasabi yun pero yun ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. I hope I could take away all the pain. And I wish I could take her place even just for today para ako na lang ang makaramdam ng sakit. She didn't respond, but slowly, she clinged her arms on my shoulder. The moment she was settled in my arm, she buried her face on my chest. I kissed her in the forehead. And that's it...my heart skipped a beat.
