Christalline's P.O.V

I was waiting. Waiting.

"Ikaw.. at.. yung mama ko.. Eventhough Marcus hates her, I will always love her and she'll always be my mom.. and you are the wo--" sabi ni Ethan.

Hindi ko na narinig pa yung mga sumunod na sinabi niya.. Everything became quiet.. I feel as if I'm floating.. I found myself peace. even if I'm hurt.. I don't feel the ground. Gently the things I see became blurry.. the things I see is now dark. darker. and darker.

Marcus' P.O.V

My phone rang.

"I'm at a payphone trying to call~~" kanta ko habang kinakapa sa drawer yung phone ko.

"Hello?" bati ko.

[Marcus it's me.. Your tita Alex..] sabi ni tita.

"Bakit po kayo napatawag?" tanong ko

[6:30 pm na.. and Christalline went out by 5:00.. I asked Joshua, Luke and Liam na kung andun ba sakanila si Christalline.. but wala daw.. I was wondering kung andyan ba siya ngayon.] nag aalalang tanong ni tita.

"Wala po.. Why? what happened po ba?" tanong ko.

[We had a fight and hanggang ngayon wala pa siya sa bahay.. She don't go out without you guys ng gantong oras.] sabi pa niya.

"Hahanapin ko po siya. I think I know where to find her" sabi ko.

[Sige thank you Marcus.]

"Opo."

The call dropped and isang lugar lang ang pupuntahan ni Christalline ngayon..

Playground.

Pumunta ako dun but walang tao.

Umiikot ako sa playground when I found her lying on the ground.

I ran. She's pale.. She's pale white.

Yung dulo ng daliri niya is violet..

Sh*t what happened?

Tinapik tapik ko yung mukha niya.. but she won't wake up.

I carried her and dinala kagad sa bahay nila. I also called tita Alex to call Christalline's doctor.

Dun kagad siya hiniga sa kama niya and the doctor immediately checked her up.

Andun din si Liam, Luke at Joshua.

"What happened?" tanong sakin ni tita.

"I found her lying on the ground sa may playground." sagot ko.

Lumayo na si doc kay Christalline at humarap kay tita..

"Doc?" tanong ni tita..

Doc looked at her unsure.

"I told you. She's a delicate glass.. She's fine, she just need some rest, but tomorrow she can go to school already. She fainted because of her heart disease.. and I think it's either the reason is emotional or physical." sabi ni doc.

Ethan.

Un agad ang unang tao na naisip ko.

I ran downstairs and went home.

Sumunod sakin si Liam, Luke at Joshua.

Nadaanan ko si mama at papa sa sofa pero hindi ko sila pinansin. Nakasalubog ko din si Bianca at nabangga ko siya but I didn't mind her. Padabog kong binuksan yung kwarto ni Ethan at nandun siya sa sofa niya.
