"Sabing bitawan mo 'ko!!" Pilit kong hinihila ang braso kong hawak hawak ni Lake.

Ano bang problema ng lalaking 'to a bigla na lang nang hinila?

Nang makarating na kami sa loob ng bahay niya 'saka lamang niya ako binitawan.

"What's your problem?!" Galit na tanong ko.

"You! What did you do to Hazel?!" Balik niyang tanong sa'kin.

"Nothing! I did nothing to that scheming bitch!" Nakatanggap ako ng malakas na sampal sa kaniya. I clenched my teeth to hold up the my tears that wants to fall. It's freaking hurt.

"Don't ever call her that!" Hindi na ako nagsalita. Huwag kang iiyak Danaih. Hold your tears. Don't ever show him your weak side. "Tell me! What did you do to her!?"

"I did nothing!" Akma niya ulit akong sasampalin. "Believe it or not! I did nothing to her!"

"Don't lie! If you didn't do anything to her. Why she looks like that!?"

"She do that to herself!"

"I said don't lie!"

"I'm not lying, you stupid no fuckin balls man!" Dumilim lalo ang mukha ni Lake. If were not for the anger that I'm feeling. I bet I'm chickening out of fear.

"What did you call me!?"

"Stupid! No! Fvckin! Balls! Man!" I'm not surprised that he slapped me for the second time. Namamanhid na ang pisngi ko. Pilit kong pinipigilan ang pagpatak ng luha ko.

"You don't have the right to call me that!" Walang pasabing tumalikod ako. Hindi pa ako nakakahakbang ay hinila na niya ako paharap at hinila papunta sa pinto ng abandonadong kwarto sa likod ng kusina. Binuksan niya ang pinto at walang pasabing itinulak ako papasok at inilock niya ang pinto mula sa labas.

"Bastard! Let me out!" Pinagahahampas ko ang pinto.

"You stay there!"

"Lake!!" Napasandal ako sa pinto.

I need to get out of here.

Kinapa kapa ang cellphone ko. Wala.

Shit! I, I need get out of here!

Stay calm. Don't lose yourself...

And everything went black

LAKE

Damn! I lose myself again. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko.

'Raven pogi calling'

Napatingin ako sa bag na nasa lapag. It's Dana's bag. Pinulot ko ang bag at kinuha ang cellphone niya.

Fuck! Who the fuck is Raven?

I answered the call.

("Hello ate?")

("Yoohoo! Speak up")

("Nandiyan ka ba?")

("Why aren't you speaking?")

("Did something happen?") The line became quite and I hear little voices. ("To Ven! Is momm-") the call ended.

What was that?

Fuxk.
