Chapter 18: Psychotic Driver

Psychotic Driver

Ariana's POV

"Hop on." Utos ni Jaxxon.

Napanganga nalang ako sa ganda ng sasakyan na nakaparada sa harap ng bahay ko ngayon. It's a red sports car, and Jaxxon's inside it with his usual black outfit. He's even wearing a black shades.

"Kanino iyan?" Tanong ko. He didn't steal it, did he?

"It's mine so hop the fuck on before I lose my patience with you."

Kahit nagdadalawang isip ay sumakay parin ako. I haven't seen him with a car before. Lagi nalang itong nakamotor.

Binuksan ko ang pinto sa likod upang doon sana umupo nang suminghal si Jaxxon.

"I'm not your fucking driver. Sit beside me." Utos nito. Hindi na ako nagsalita at sinunod nalang ito. Arguing with Jaxxon will lead me nowhere, he would always win.

He was watching me while I put my seat belt on. I cleared my throat and faced him.

"W-where's your bike?" I asked when I couldn't contain his staring.

"You said you're scared with it, so I bought a new car para sabay na tayo lagi pumasok. I hope this doesn't look scary to you anymore." He replied, turning on the engine.

"Y-you w-what?" Napanganga nalang ako sa narinig.

Pilit kong inalala kung may ganon' nga akong nasabi. Right, I really did say that. Hindi ko naman aakalaing bibili ito ng bagong sasakyan nang dahil lang sa takot ako sa bike nito. And to tell you, this car looked insanely expensive.

"Hindi ko naman sinasadyang sabihin iyon kapon. I didn't mean it. Hindi ka na dapat bumili pa ng bagong sasakyan. I mean..."

"Cause you have a lot of excuses. Ngayon wala ka nang dahilan para hindi sumabay sa akin."

Sa totoo lang, hindi naman ako takot sa big nike nito. I was more afraid of how reckless he was driving.

"Hindi naman iyong bike mo ang talagang problema. I already told you, hindi na dapat tayo lagi magkasama because I have a boyfrie-Ah!"

Napahiyaw nalang ako sa gulat nang biglang paandarin ni Jaxxon ang sasakyan.

"I don't want to hear that ever again." He said with a clenched jaw and all I can do is nod while I grip my seat belt tightly. This is exactly why I'm afraid to go to school with him. I feel like everyday is the end of my life.

"Can you slow down?!" Sigaw ko dahil animo nakikipag patentero ito sa mga sasakyan sa kalsada.

"Fuck no!" He yelled back and stepped on the accelerator.

Hindi na ako magugulat kung maya-maya ay may mga pulis nang humahabol sa amin dahil sa sobrang bilis nito magpatakbo. At mas lalong hindi ako magugulat kung ito na ang huling araw ko sa mundo.

A few meters away from us is the stop light and it just turned red. May sasakyang nakatigil sa di kalayuan pero hindi parin binabagalan ni Jaxxon ang pagmamaneho. If he won't slow down, we would be hitting the car in front of us.

"Jaxxon!" I screamed and closed my eyes expecting a collision.

Jaxxon thankfully stepped on the break just in time at kung hindi ako naka suot ng seat belt ay malamang tumalsik na ako palabas ng sasakyan.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled while breathing hard. That scared the shit out of me.

"Calm down, Ariana. I'm not gonna kill you." Kalmado nitong sambit na tila ba sanay na sanay sa ganong' pangyayari.
