Jewel's POV
"Huh?? H-hello?" I said nervously.
Lixsha stares at me curiously. Those scary eyes of her. Wooh creepy.
Two boys just approaches us. And I know who they are. Sorry, I don't want to spoil. You'll know them soon.
Anyway, I'm Jewel Rose Sandoval, A.k.a Jewel/Ry.
"Hey! I heard your the Goddess Princess Player huh? Good in Online games?" Said the guy holding a tablet.
"Not just in Online games. All games. So don't underestimate me" and she rolled her eyes on him. I'm so scared of them. Baka may gawin sila sa'min ni Lixsha. Basta kilala ko sila.
That's Lixsha. Ang bestfriend kong may pagka-amazona at mataray. Pero hindi naman ganun katapang.
Nakilala ko siya sa may mall. Gusto niya kasing bilhin yung Lop top na mamahalin na 'yun. Black widow? Acer? Apple? Samsung? Ewan ko. Basta nasa $445,000. Mahal noh? High-tech kasi eh. Ganyan kayaman 'yan si Miss Felixsha Anne Swift. Biglang yaman kaya 'yan. Dati, mas mahirap pa sa daga nung elementary daw siya. And blah blah blah.. Nakakatamad mag kuwento. Hehe..
She's the most genius girl that I knew. At magaling pagdating sa Computer games, cellphone games, etc. Kami kaya 'yung mag bestfriend na "Birds with the same feather, always flock together." Kase lagi kaming nagkakasundo.
Mabait 'yan. Kaso trashtalker nga lang. Alam kong hindi 'yan ganyan dati. Siguro nung nag umpisa siyang maglaro ng mga DOTA, Warcraft, League of Legends, etc. Saka siya nagkaganyan. Pero kahit trashtalker 'yan, Mabait pa rin 'yan. Siya yung akala mo lalake, 'yun pala babaeng babae. Super cute pa niya. At ang ganda. Nagmana ako dyan eh haha! Dami naring nanligaw sakanya. Kaso, mura ang abot nila sakanya. Hahah! Laftrip kaya sa tuwing may bina-busted 'yan! Kaso.. Ewan ko dyan! Inis na inis sa Pag-ibig. Ang bitter pa. Wala naman daw siyang naging boyfriend. Kaso, ba't ganyan 'yan? Hayy. Let's find out soon.
"Uhh.. Eh.. Lixsha? Can we go now already?" I said nervously. We really need to go now! We must avoid these people.
"Okay! let's go!" she said and she quickly grab my hand and drag me. I heard The other guy playing with his PSP chuckled. Oh my gosh! This is so bad!! We really need to go!! May kutob akong may mangya-yaring masama ngayon.
We rush to Lixsha's car. Ang bilis magpatakbo ni Lixsha. I know that feeling. Nabadtrip 'yan pag ganyan. Ni-hindi na ako nakapag salita. Baka ako paglabasan ng init ng ulo niyan eh. Nakakatakot kaya 'yan!
Nung malapit na kami sa Mansion ni Lixsha, nakita ko yung 7 eleven na malapit sa mansion niya. Good timing! Nandun si Jasper! Yung boyfriend ko.
I know what will happen tonight. I really need to talk to Jasper. He's the only person that can save us. Haha! He's my hero!!
I let her stop driving. "What?!"
"My boyfriend. I need him now" I said and point my finger.
"Tsss... Okay!! Baba na!" Waaah! Galit na talaga siya!! Sabi nga niya, ginawa ko naman. Nakakatakot kaya!
Lumapit na ako kay Jasper. Good timing talaga! Nandito siya. Lumapit ako kay Jasper at ginulat siya.
"Daddy!!" Insert kawaii face.
"Hey baby! What took you here?" He said and pinches my cheeks.
"I just need your help Dhie." I said with a serious face.
I look at Lixsha. She is really pissed by now.
"Sorry Lixsha! I'll go to your house later." I said with a brighter smile and I hold Jasper's Hand.
"Yah yah! Tsk! Ja ne~" she said and drive. Wooooh.. She really need to take care of herself.
"Hey Da!"
"Yup baby?"
"We need to follow her."
"Do you mean 'her'? That girl?"
"Yep! We need to save her."
"Save her from what?" He asked curiously
"Daah~ can you see that car?" I point my finger 'dun sa kotse na mabilis na akala mo may sinusundan. Meron naman talaga
And he's face turn serious. That's my Dad!(Boyfriend)
We rush to his car and follows them. While were on the move, naramdaman kong nag vibrate yung pouch bag ko. Lixsha is calling me.
"Who is it?"
"It's Lixsha. She's calling."
"Weeh? Baka ibang lala-" Tsk! E'to masyadong curious! Akala mo naman may iba ako.
"Oh 'yan!" Pinakita ko sakanya yung cellphone ko. To prove him wrong!!
"Ahh. Okay." Yung totoo? Niloloko ata ako nito eh!
And I answer the call at naka-loud speaker pa 'yan!
[Hey Ry?!]
"Yes po?"
[Bili mo 'ko ng gulong]
"Eh?? Ba't ako?!"
[Iniwan mo 'ko kanina eh! Pisti ka!]
"Haha. Sorry po. May kailangan lang po kasi kaming pag-usapan."
[At para sa-] at naputol ang sinabi niya na dinahilan kung bakit ako ngayon kinakabahan. Oh no! They're already with her! Shit! We need to hurry.
"Oh my gosh! Jasper, we need to hurry!" I said. He just nod at binilisan niya na.
Nung nasa harapan na kami ng mansion ni Lixsha, atat na akong bumaba kaso pinigilan ako ni Jasper.
"Hold your horses."
"But-"
"No buts. You need to wait. Or you'll get yourself killed."
"Fine!" I said and pout.
Lumabas si Jasper ng kotse at nakita ko yung kaninang lalake. Kakalabas lang ng lalake sa may isang iskinita at nag sindi ng sigarilyo. Sinugod ni Jasper yung lalake at sinapak. At dahil gusto ko ng umalis sa kinauupuan ko, lumabas na ako sa kotse at sinundan si Jasper.
"Where is she?!" Jasper said angrily to the guy. But his response is just a smirk.
"You want to know where she is?" Sabay dura ng dugo sa gilid. "Well..." He pointed his finger on the place where I saw him.
"TASKETTE!!" We heard that scream. At malapit lang.
"You son of a bitch!" And Jasper give him a punch that make the guy fell on the ground. And left him.
Pumunta kami sa may iskinita. And I saw Lixsha lying on the ground while the guy is on top her. Licking her all over her neck. And that is so damn weird!! Yuck! >...< Lixsha is still wearing her skirt but her uniform is damaged. Punit punit. And that make me shocked of what I saw.
Sinapak ni Jasper yung lalake at binuhat si Lixsha. Palabas ng iskinita na 'yun. Buti na lang may towel ako. Kasing laki ng scarf. At tinakip ko sa spirits ni Lixsha.
"You're Late" she whispered.
"Gomen. You better rest." I said. And she fell asleep. I saw a bruise on her face. Grabeh! Namamaga yung pisngi niya.
Dinala namin siya sa mansion house niya. Buti nalang may mga yaya siya sa bahay at mga guard... Teka, May guard pala siya eh! Ba't hindi man lang napansin yung amo nila sa labas?? Yan ang hirap eh! Guard nga, wala namang silbi.
Inutusan ko yung mga guard niya na isara yung gate at mag bantay sa labas ng bahay. Baka pumasok pa yung dalawang siraulo eh. Tsk.
We bring her to her room at hiniga niya si Lixsha sa kama. Kinuha ko kaagad yung first aid kit. Buti nalang may naka-tago sa may banyo niya. Sa sobrang laki ng kuwarto niya, mahanap ko kaya agad?
Bumalik ako kung nasaan yung dalawa. Kumuha ako sa closet niya ng damit. At bumalik.
Hmm... I just stare at her. Until my brain sync-in.
"Uhmm.. Jasper? Pwedeng sa labas ka muna??"
"Why?" What?! Isn't it obvious?! Malamang for private lang!! Babae yung aayusan ko. At baka makita niya pa... Hayy.
"Isn't it obvious?!"
"Ohh... Sorry. Hehe." Nu bayan! Ang slow! Ngayon lang na-gets. At lumabas nga siya.
Pinalitan ko siya ng damit at ginamot yung namamaga niyang pisngi. Magkabilaan pa. Hay buhay! Buwisit talaga 'yung mga lalaki na 'yun! Pinahihirapan pa akong gamutin 'to.
I just stare at her.
...
...
...
Stare...
...
...
...
"YUNG TOTOO?! KELAN KA GIGISING?!" Inis 'kong sabi. Loko din 'to eh!! Sinampal lang! Ang himbing na agad ng tulog. Tsk!
Haynako Jewel! Kung alam mo lang nangyare sakanya kaya nakatulog ng ganyan 'yan
Manahimik ka dyan! Buwisit na konsensya.
"JASPER?!" Jasper enter the room.
"Hmm?"
"Are you going home now?"
"Naah~ 7:25 pa lang. Uwi ako mga 8."
"Aren't you planning on staying?"
"I'll stay here with you if that's what you want."
"Okay then." I smiled.
He lays on the couch and opens the Flast screen TV. Na ang high-tech. Tsk. Naku Felixsha! Ikaw na talaga! Paano ba naman kase, sinabi lang ni Jasper yung word na 'open' bumakas na yung TV. The F. At teka? Ba't niya alam na ganun pala buksan yung TV ni Lixsha? Hay ewan!
And I continue staring at her.
.
.
.
Waaa! Di 'ko na ma-take! 'Yoko na! Makalikot nga 'yung phone ko.
I call my mom. Wala akong maisip na tawagan eh. Nandito naman si Jasper. Kaso busy manuod ng TV. Na high-tech E'to namang babaeng 'to, tulog! Hayy.
[Hello? Nak?]
"Ma! Dito muna ako kila Lixsha makikitulog." I said while walking.
[Okay. Just make sure wala kayong gagawing katarantadu-]
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad "MA! Masyadong OA?! Dalawa lang naman kaming babae rito noh! So don't worry." Pinag patuloy ang paglalakad.
[I just want you to be safe sweety.]
Umupo ako sa tabi ni Jasper "I'm always safe, you don't have to worry about me. Malaki na 'ko. Okay? okay Ma. Sige na po."
"Your mom??" Tanong ni Jasper ng mahina. I just nod.
[Okay sweety. I still have to worry because you are my only lovely daughter I had.]
"Okay Ma. Sige po, bye." Ang drama masyado ni mom.
[Bye. I love you Nak.] End call. And my tear's fall. Agad ko namang pinunasan. And Jasper stare at me. And he combs my hair.
Emotionally touched. Even if I always treat my mom like that, I still love her. But that feeling you can't even say that through her, face to face to your parents because your embarrased. I always end up like this. Everytime she said that to me, those lovely words. Everytime I hear those words, It always end up like I'm drowning with their love. Ang pagmamahal pa lang ng parents mo, sapat na. And I love them back.
I lean on his chest "I love you too.. Ma.." I said to myself.
Lixsha's POV
Aray! Tsk! Sakit talaga ng pisngi ko!
Makapasok kaya ako nito ngayon?! Teka, Friday pala ngayun. Last day. Papasok nalang ako kaysa namang sayangin ko pa yung isang araw diba? Why do I have to waste the day that I won't be able to return it from the past?
"Fuck! Those bastards! Ugh!" Hold my cheeks. Huhu!! It really hurts! They'll pay for what they did to me!
"You're awake." Napatingin ako sa may nagsalita. W-wai-WHAT?! Jewel?! Why are they here? Sleeping on my couch.
Napatingin ako sa suot ko. Anu bang nangyare kagabi?!
.

Oh.. Oo nga pala. Now I remember. Thanks to them.
"Uhh.. Yep. Morning." And Yawn.
"Morning too." Said his boyfriend.
"Oh. Anyway, Lixsha, this is Jasper. And Jasper, this is Felixsha. My bestfriend."
"Nice to meet you." He said.
"Konnichiwa." Matamlay 'kong sabi.
"Papasok ba tayo ngayon?" I ask.
"Tange! Sabado ngayon! Huy! At bibili na tayo ng Nerve gear diba?"
"Eh?! Anu ba talaga?!" At napailing ako. Ang gulo ng mundo ko! I felt like nang galing ako sa Amnesia.
"Sabado ngayun huy!! Gising na!"
And I look at my phone. Saturday nga.
I hate that slap! I really hate that fucking slap! THAT SLAP MADE ME FORGET EVERYTHING! Yung yumanig yung mundo mo nung sinampal ka ng pagka-lakas lakas. Dalawang beses pa. Sino kayang hindi mahihimatay 'dun?!
"Let me rest for awhile." Sakit talaga ng pisngi ko. Isabay pa 'tong sakit ng ulo ko. Nyeta!
"You better rest and try to remember all things that happened." Jewel said.
