Chapter 15
"I like you, Irina. I really do a-and I didn't tell you that I know about your feelings because I got scared you'll leave me out of shame." paliwanag niya.
"Leave you?" I finally said. "Chase, I'm not even yours so why would I leave you? I left for my own good." paliwanag ko rito.
"That's what I hate, Irina!" he growled. "The thought of you not being mine and mine alone! I hate the way that it was so easy for you to leave and throw away your feelings as if it isn't real!" aniya pa.
Nahinto ako ulit, naiwang nakaawang ang bibig ko. Sinara ko ito at nangapa ng salita pero bago pa ko makapagsalita ulit ay nagsimula ulit magsalita si Chase, mahinahon na ulit.
"I want you mine, Irina. Mine alone. I hate seeing you with Kurt. It hurts me so much." aniya.
Lumapit sakin si Chase at hinawakan ang pulso ko saka ako hinila palapit sa kanya. Ang isang kamay niya ay dumausdos sa baywang ko bago sumunod ang isa pa niyang kamay. Nanatiling nasa tabi ko ang pareho kong kamay. Hindi niya alam kung gaano ko kagusto yakapin siya pabalik.
"Please be mine, Irina. Just the two of us is good. No Kurt, no other girls liking me. Just us." bulong niya sa tenga ko.
"Bakit ngayon pa?" tanong ko.
Biglang humiwalay si Chase at tumingin sa mata ko. I looked back at him, teary eyed. My head's messed up as fvck again at dahil iyon kay Chase.
"Why now, Chase? When everything felt so good with Kurt and I'm on the verge of moving on from you?" ani ko na punong-puno ng hinanakit.
Pain was evident in his eyes. Parang gusto kong bawiin ang tanong ko sa kanya but I really want to know his reason kung bakit ngayon pa lang. It's been a year simula nang habul-habulin ko siya. It's been a year simula nang mahulog ako sa kanya.
"You didn't gave me a chance to talk to you. You don't like to get out of your room. You don't go to school now please tell me how could I tell you this if you won't fvcking face me to talk?" aniya sakin.
Napalunok ako saka ako umiwas ng tingin. He's right. Ilang beses nga siya pumunta sa bahay at di tulad ng nasa mga imahinasyon ko ay di ako lumalabas ng bahay. Kahit si Kurt ay pumupunta sa bahay ay di ko magawang harapin.
"I never meant to ruin everything up. I just want you with me and I'm not gonna stop until you give in." aniya pa ulit dahilan para mapatingin ako sa kanya.
"Chase," tawag ko pero nakatingin lang siya sakin.
"You can't stop me, Irina. I came here to get you and I'm not going back without you." dagdag niya.
