Anxiety

Penelope's POV

"Maddox! Anong nangyari sa bahay mo?!" Sigaw ko nang buksan nito ang pinto.

Tumambad sa amin ang sirang sofa, basag na center table at fridge na bakas ng mga kamao.
Basag-basag din ang mga vases at muntik ko nang ma-apakan ang ilang mga bubog na nagkalat sa sahig.

"I told you babe, it's not a good idea to come to my house right now." He said guiltily while rubbing the back of his head.

"How did your house ended up like this?" Walang ideya kong tanong dito.

"Well, I... uhmm..." He trailed but I noticed him trying to hide his knuckles behind him.

I sighed and grabbed his hand, studying it. Saka ko lang naalala ang mga sugat na nakita ko sa kamao nito kagabi. So this is Maddox's creation. Sa sobrang galit siguro nito ay pati mga furniture sa bahay nito ay sinira nito. I just can't imagine how terrible he felt the past few days that he ruined his house in madness.

"Come on, let's fix your scars." I forced him upstairs to his room but when I was about to open his room, he grabbed my hand to stop me.

"Hintayin mo nalang ako sa sala, babe. Ako na ang kukuha ng first aid kit." Suhesyon nito.

"I'll get it." Mariin kong diin.

"Babe—"

Wala nang nagawa si Maddox nang buksan ko ang pinto. Nang makita ang kwarto nito ay saka ko lang napagtanto kung bakit ayaw ako nitong papasukin sa loob ng kwarto nito. Kung anong gulo ng sala ay siyang kasing gulo din ng kwarto nito. There were dozens of beer cans on the floor,plastics and broken things. May napansin din akong marka ng dugo sa sahig.

"Wow! Your room is a complete disaster." I exclaimed.

"I told you, I was ruined when you left me. Sa dalawang araw na 'yon, wala akong nagawa kundi magwala at magpakalasing which I'm not really proud of right now." Pag-aamin ni Maddox.

Humarap ako dito at niyakap ang bewang nito.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered and leaned my head against his chest then I felt his lips on my head.

"Don't be sorry, wala kang kasalanan." He assured but I still feel responsible for all of this. Who else to blame? After all, I'm the one who caused him such pain.

Pagkatapos nito ay pina-upo ko siya sa kama at kinuha ang first aid kit sa banyo. Upon entering his bathroom, I realized where that bloodstains on the floor came from. The mirror was broken and there was also stains of blood on the sink. Poor Maddox.

Pagbalik sa kwarto ay umupo ako sa tabi ni Maddox at hinila ang kamao nito. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako nang makita ang mga sugat at galos sa mga kamay nito.

I silently cleaned his wounds and wrapped a bandage in both his knuckles.

"All done. Now we need to go clean your house." I said and started picking up the garbages.

"Hindi mo kailangang gawin yan, babe. I can hire someone to clean the entire house. How about let's go buy new furnitures?"

Napatigil naman ako sa ginagawa ko at agad na binitawan ang mga kalat na hawak ko. "Really? Okay let's go!"
Maddox chuckled and put his arm around my shoulder. "You're that excited, huh?"

"One of the things I love most is furniture shopping!" Excited the sambit ko.

"Okay then, I'll let you pick everything."

"Thank you!" I exclaimed and tiptoed to give him a kiss on the cheek.

Maddox grinned from ear to ear and fetched his keys.
