Cameron

"It was a mistaking dancing with your storm."

I was motionless after Varron left the bar. Umalis na rin ang mga kaibigan ni Earlene kaya naiwan akong mag-isa sa lamesa, tears streaming down my face. The waiter was looking at me pitifully. Nagdadalawang-isip pa ito kung liligpitin ang mga pinagkainan sa harap ko.

I closed my eyes because I don't want to see his eyes. I don't need pity! In the middle of crying, I stood up and wore my tough facade again. I walked out of the bar like what happened didn't break me. When I settled myself inside the car, I grab my phone out of my pocket and dialed someone's number. Pinaandar ko na ang makina habang naghihintay na sagutin ni Mr. N ang tawag ko.

[Hello? Cameron, hija?] bungad nito sa kabilang linya. I wiped my tears away to compose myself.

"Locate Varron's car. Now." malamig na saad ko habang binabagtas ang kalsada. I heard something fell from the other line.

[ Varron's car? Nag-away ba kayo?] tanong nito. I want to yell at him and hurry him but I calmed myself. Wala rin namang magbabago kung magagalit ako sa kanya.

"Just locate it, Mister N. I need now." I hears Mister N sighed and I could hear him typing on his keyboard. Mukhang sinisimulan na niya ang paghahanap kay Varron. Good.

[Okay. I'll just text you the coordinates. Be careful.] paalala pa niyo bago binaba ang tawag. Hindi ko naiwasang mapangiti ng mapait sa isiping sila dapat ang mag-ingat sa akin.

I am too driven by my emotions that I don't what I can do to them.

Maiintindihan ko pa kung sino Hiro lang ang nanloko at nang-iwan sa akin because the moment I agreed to his offer, hinanda ko na rin ang sarili ko sa posibilidad na magkagusto ito sa kapatid ko. But Varron? I didn't expect taht he'll throw everything we had just for that wench.

I couldn't believe it. I couldn't breathe.

My phone beeped and saw the coordinates Mister N sent me. Agad kong pinaharurot ang sasakyan ko papunta doon.

Another batch of tears came out when I saw Hiro running after Bridgette. He looks so hurt it fckin hurts to see him like that.

Was that my fault?

But he was the one who started this. He offered me revenge. I was just going with the flow but why did it turn out like I was the one who plot this? So, I'm the bad guy again?

I bit my lower lip in frustration and stepped on the gas. Agad humarurot ang sasakyan ko papunta kay Bridgette na patawid ng kalsada. Hiro was running after her. When he saw my car speeding towards her ay mas lalo nitong binilisan ang pagtakbo para iligtas ito.
