It's never too late

Chapter 5

Nakarating na kami sa condo ni zy, at bumungad sa tapat ng pinto si kaela.

"You don't have to worry, caleb will conti--" hindi natuloy ni jaze ang sasabihin n'ya ng pangunahan ni kaela 'yon.

"I wasn't there for that, I'm here for something."

Nag tataka pa din ako kung pa'no n'ya nalaman ang condo si zy, kahit na makapasok kami ay hindi maalis sa isip ko kung paano.

"How did you know my condo?" taka kong tinititigan si zy, he doesn't know about it?

"Ah. Basty texted me, If I need something to tell about, he gave me your condo." sagot ni kaela, tsaka tumingin sa'kin.

"Pigilan n'yo si levi, parang iba pa ata ang nais kay zy." si xander na nakatingin kay levi.

Bawat galaw kasi ni zy ay titig na titig si levi, para bang hindi naniniwala na walang babae si zy.

"Ano nga pala pinunta mo dito?" tanong ni lance, kay kaela.

"Basty did text me ago, that--"

"Wait-- what? he do?" pag putol ni duke sa sinabi ni kaela.

"Yeah, thought he's with you. That's why I know where zy's condo, he do, texted me a minute ago." takang tinititigan kaming lahat ni kaela.

"He's not with us." si yael na ang sumagot sa nakakatakang tingin samin ni kaela, her eyes widened when yael told her.

"What did he tell you?" he did ask first, before looking at me.

"That, if I need anything.. then, he texted me your add." hindi pa din s'ya makapaniwala, malaki pa din ang mga tingin n'ya sa bawat isa samin.

"And, what brought you here?" jaze.

"Someone texted me again,"

"With a different number, and news." dagdag n'ya pa.

"And what it says?" lance.

"Someone's betraying, not just one, but.. 2 out of three." that makes me curious, why on this world it's happening?

"This makes me scared, I don't like threats, and.. I don't wanna die." si kai.

"What are you plan, caleb?" tanong sa'kin ni kaela.

I don't know, but I like playing hide and seek.

"No one will, I'll sacrifice everything, to get out of this. as soon as possible." alinlangan akong ngumiti kay kaela.

"Send me the number, I'll try my best, to find that person. I'll let that person feel, what hell feels like." tumingin ako sa kawalan, ramdam ko ang tensyon ng lahat.

"No, you don't sacrifice your life, ac." titig na titig ang mga mata ni lance, na kahit ang pag hinga ko ay pakiramdam ko na binibilang n'ya.

"Basty won't choose me, if I didn't. I know he's plan, why me." bato ko saknya ng salita.

"What are you planning?" kai, and that's it.. everyone look so clueless while looking at me.

After what happen earlier with kaela and us, she left and give me the number who texted her. Even levi was so shocked, he didn't get back on how he was so childish.

Everyone remained silent, maybe? thinking who was the other betrayers. Everyone on our group, doesn't look so suspicious, everyone's normal. but, why? 2? out of three?

What are you you tryna say? why does it have to be us, why? does it have to sacrifice? just for this god damn racing?! does it really about, racing? or maybe? something?
