Chapter 9

"When will you grow up sandro? When will you stop acting like a kid?"

After I slap him, he push me in the wall, leaving no space between us. I can smell his breath.

"Slap me again, You'll regret it"

Im not even scared of him. After what happend to us. I know I can handle him.

"Get out of my life please. Simula ng maki salamuha ako sa kagaya mo wala ng magandang nangyari sa buhay ko Sandro."

He hold my chin "No. Im gonna stay with you and make you feel how to live in hell"

"Ano bang ginawa ko sayo?"

Ngumisi ito "Allison"

Allison

Allison

Allison

I cover my ears. Here we go again, I keep hearing that voice.

"Stop calling me Allison you dumb head"

Mas diniinan nya ang pagkakatulak nya saakin sa pader.

"Its feels good to forget everything huh?"

"What are you talking about"

He smirked.

"Sandro" Binitawan nya lang ako when he saw Symon walking toward us.

"Mom called. She wants you to go home right now"

Symon look at me. "Go" he mouthed.

I take a deep breath and walk away. Should I transfer to another university? So he'll stop bugging me.

Damn it.

I decided to ditch my last class dahil nawalan na ako ng gana pumasok because of that dumb head. Saan ba nangagaling ang galit nya saakin? I didn't even do anything wrong to him.

"Malapit nang mag dikit ang mga kilay mo"

"Grayson"

I guess he didn't attend his class.

"That guy" he paused for a moment and look at me.

"Is there something between the two of you?"

I chuckle "No, there's nothing between us. He just love to make fool the hell out of me"

I heard him sigh and he looked at the sky. "Want to grab a bite? Hindi kapa kumain"

Yeah right. I can feel my tummy. Its empty.

"Sure"

"Let's use my car"

I waited for him infront of the university. After almost 5 minutes dumating sya.

"Hope in" He even open the door for me. I almost forgot na I owe him something.

"You call me if you need some help. I can see na you're having a hard time with him"

I look outside. I never had a peaceful day since I entangled my life with him. I regret it.

"I don't understand why he keep doing this. I didn't do anything wrong"

I know Grayson and I are not that close but I feel like he's a good listener. He is someone who can always make you feel safe.

"Just ignore him. As long as you can"

"Wow" Im amazed. May ganitong klaseng resto pala dito. Ngayon ko lang nalaman.

"Hey, Grayson" A woman approach us. She's so beautiful.

Grayson kiss her in her cheeks. "Hi."

The woman look at me from head to toe. I can't help but to raised my eyebrow.

"This is Stella, my sister and stella, this is Reese"

"Your?" Pang iintriga ni Stella.

"Friend" I answered.

She smile at me and wink "Take a sit. I'll prepare your food"

While we are waiting for our food nag kwento lang si Grayson about sa business nila and to tell you the truth hindi sya nakaka bored kausap.

"Im sorry. Boring ba?"

Umiling ako at ngumiti "No, Its okay."

"Enjoy!" Stella prepare a lot of food and it looks delicious.

"I hope you like it"

I taste everything na nasa table and ghad. Ang sarap.

"How's it?"

I raised my thumb mark "Good! Super! Awesome!"

Grayson chuckle. "Akala ko hindi mo magugustuhan"

Dalhin ko nga si Kalee dito for sure magugustuhan nya din dito.

"Are you alone?"

Natigilan ako "Hah?"

Napakamot pa ng batok si Grayson at nahihiyang tumingin saakin. "I saw your house when I drop you off. The light are off"

"I have manang but she take a leave. So Im alone at the moment"

"Is it safe for you to stay alone?"

I nod my head "Yes. Mahigpit naman ang security"

"Thank you for dropping me off last time" I added.

He smile, a smile that will make every girl fall in love.

I don't know how it feels to be love because I never had a boyfriend not because Im ugly and had no suitor, its just that Im not interested.

"No worries. Im always here if you need my help"

"I'll pay for it" I insist.

He convulse his head and pinch my cheeks lightly. "No, save it. Treat me some other time"

Even though her sister own this restaurant he still pay for our food and that's what makes him amazing.

Sana ganito din ka matured si Sandro.

"Thanks for the food"

He drop me off. Papa pasukin ko pa sana sya sa loob but he said may pupuntahan pa daw sya.

"Thank you for dropping me off. Ingat ka"

He smile "Goodnight. See you tomorrow"

Pag pasok ko sa loob ng bahay at pagbukas ng ilaw. Nagulat ako dahil sobrang daming maleta.

"Sweetheart"

I looked back and I saw daddy holding a glass of water.

"What are you doing here?"

He smile "I miss you."

Naglakad ito papalapit saakin at humakbang ako palayo sakanya.

Anong ginagawa nya dito? Kailan pa sya umuwi?

"Dad please."

Pain is written all over his face. I don't want to stay with him.

"Let me stay with you anak"

Umiling ako "No dad"

After that accident. I never felt even a single concern from them. Pag gising ko they didn't even ask me how I feel and if Im okay. Basta basta nalang nila akong iniwan dito at umalis sila and now he wants to stay with me? For what?

"Allison"

I cover my ears "STOP. STOP IT! STOP CALLING ME ALLISON" I scream.

Whenever someone call me that name kinikilabutan ako.

"Anak"

I look at him "Get out. I don't need anyone of you. Sanay na ako mag isa dad. Hindi ko na kayo kailangan."

Sinubukan nyang lumapit saakin but I step back.

"Reese anak, Im sorry"

"Wala kayo nung panahon na kailangan ko kayo"

I cried.

"Nasaan kayo noong kailangan ko ng masasandalan? When I was having the hardest moment of my life wala kayo! You abandon me! Mas inuna nyo pa ang trabaho nyo! Dad, Im good without you and mom. So please stop pestering me and live your own life! Forget about me!"

Pinunasan ko ang pisngi ko "Fine. Ako ang aalis"

I step out of the house and run as fast as I can and I ended up tripping.

"Damn it"

"Shit"

"Stand up"

Tumingala ako and its sandro holding a helmet in his right hand.

Sa lahat ng tao bakit sya pa ang makikita ko? Bakit ba lagi syang nandito.

Tumayo ako at nilagpasan sya but he grab my wrist.

"BITAWAN MO AKO!" Naiiritang sigaw ko sa pagmumukha nya.

He didn't say anything. Isinuot nya saakin ang helmet na hawak nya.

"Ano ba!" Pag pupumiglas ko.

"Stay still" He said. Sobrang kalma nya ngayon.

"Hop in"

I don't have the energy to argue with him kaya sumakay na ako. I close my eyes and hold on tight.

"We're here" I open my eyes nasa harapan kami ng isang malaking bahay.

"Anong gagawin ko dito?"

"Come in" simpleng sagot nito at iniwan ako.

Fine.

Pumasok ako sa loob, when sandro turn on the lights tumambad saamin ang napaka daming kahon at mga sofa na naka balot pa.

Its looks like a new renovate home.

Its empty.

Umakyat ito sa taas at pagbaba nya he's holding a medicine kit.

"Sit down"

"You don't have a chair"

Sinipa nya ang isang kahon "Idiot" he whispher

Just like what I did. He clean my wound and put some ointment. Can you even imagine someone like him doing things like this?

May soft side ka din palang siraulo ka.

"So why are you running away retard?"

I rolled my eyes "Stop calling me retard you dumb head"

He glared at me. "Ohh. Im scared" I sarcastically said.

Diniinan nya ang paglalagay ng bandage sa sugat ko "Ouch!" Naiiritang sigaw ko.

Hinatak nya ako patayo at umakyat kami sa taas. Hindi katulad ng mga gamit sa ibaba. Maayos at malinis sa taas.

"Sleep here"

"Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me? What do you want from me?"

Without saying anything umalis ito.

"Goodluck tomorrow, Reese"
