Chapter 13: The Confrontation

Victoria Abbel's Point of View

I looked at Trevor walking towards the two police officers. Hanggang ngayon ang lakas pa rin ng tibok ng puso ko dahil sa maaring mangyari sa kanya. Everything is just coming back at me. The moment when he asked me to accompany him to the hardware store, the things he bought there, his scratch papers, and about last night when I felt the something sticky on his shirt. And that is blood! It's so weird. And now, the news about Dean's death broke out and everything is just messed up. For God's sake, there are two police officers at our freaking door! At mas lalong hindi ako makapaniwala na parang wala lang na nakatayo ang mabutihin kong pinsan. 

"No! Trevor is not here!" Bigla na lang lumabas ito sa aking bibig. Kaya naman napatingin si Trevor at Nikos sa akin. Nikos looked me as is he's asking what game I am playing at right as of this moment. But what could I do? Turn Trevor in? No way. I couldn't believe myself. Ilang beses ko bang sinabi na wala na akong pakialam kay Trevor? Hindi na mabilang sa kamay ko, but look at me now, I am running in circles.

Agad akong lumapit kung saan nakatayo sa Trevor at lakas loob na humawak sa kamay niya. My heart started to race when our skin touched but I didn't think twice and hold his hand tightly as if I am afraid to let him go.

"Let's go." Sabi ko sa kanya at akmang hihilahin na siya at tumakas. My blood almost went to my face when nothing happened. We're just there standing in front of the police officers. Buong akala ko ay kaya ko siyang hilahin kung higpitan ko ang hawak ko sa kanya. Buong akala ko ay makakaalis kaming dalawa sa pwesto na iyon. Pero lahat nang iyon ay akala lang pala. Instead, he didn't even budged in his place. Bigla akong naestatwa sa aming pwesto. I am trying to pull his right arm and he's looking at me as if I've become crazy.

"What are you doing?" Para akong pinaliguan ng yelo sa lamig ng boses niya.

"Are you nuts, witch? At talagang sa harapan pa ng mga police?" Nikos said while giving me a weird look. The police officer was just standing there, looking confused. The other one faked a cough and then finally speak.

"We finally found your wallet, Sir." My mouth hung open when I heard the police officer say that words. I saw how my cousin Nikos grinned. Trevor looked relieved. And I definitely look so stupid right now.

"Thank you so much, officer." He said and extended his hands to offer a handshake. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa sarili ko, kaya bigla na lang akong natawa at tinanggal ang pagkahawak sa kamay ni Trevor. What the fuck? I think I'm really going crazy. And that is because of Trevor Dmitri who always has a way to shake my world.

"What was that? Really, Tori? Trevor is not here, let's go." Remind me not to kill Nikos. He's enjoying my misery. Sinimangutan ko siya at sinamaan ng tingin. Gosh, I really hate Nikos most of the time. Pagka-alis ng dalawang pulis sa aming bahay ay bigla na lang tumawa nang malakas ang aking pinsan at ngayon ay ginagaya niya ang sinabi ko kanina.

"No. Oh Trevor my love so sweet is not here~" Nikos said in a sing-song voice.

"One more word coming from you Nikos, you are so dead," I warned him. He laughed and walked towards the stairs.

"You are really funny, Victoria Abbel. Trevor lost his wallet last night and so we reported it to the police. Wow! They are so competent. Akalain mo 'yon, bumalik ang wallet niya sa kanya. Going here is not a waste of time at all. May eempake na ako ng mga gamit." With a grin, he continues going upstairs. Kaya naman, kami na lang ni Trevor ang natira dito sa baba. The silence is killing me. I can even feel Trevor's gaze piercing my skin.

"Okay, fine. I admit I must be out of my mind earlier." Lakas loob kong sabi sa kanya. I can't even look at him right now, I am so pathetic. Napatingin ako sa aking kamay, remembering the fleeting warmth of his hands to mine. I heard him scoff.
