Shane's POV

Nagising ako dito sa kwarto with a head ache. Argh... What just happen?

"Good thing your awake. Are you okay?" Si Mark. Teka... Nasaan ba ako?

"I'm fine. Just a little head ache. Nasaan ako?"

"Solo room to. Since tulog na yung mga kasama mo at ayoko namang magising sila sa ingay mo kaya dito nalang kita dinala. Buti nalang may private room dito na itinuro sa akin ni anica"

"I see..." I just said. I remember what happened yesterday.

"Take this medicine first then drink this coffee" He said and gave me the medicine and water.

"You feelin' okay now?" I didn't answer. "About last night would you care to tell me what happen?" He ask.

"Alas... Okay. Since you've heard about it... The thing is...."

And I told him every detail.

"He really said that?! That punk! I'll get him for this!" He said with an annoyed face amd about to leave the room when I stopped him. He got shock when he saw me crying.

Lumapit siya sa akin at pinunasan ang luha ko. "Don't cry Shane... A jerk like him doesn't deserve your tears" at niyakap niya ako. "Whenever you have a problem... just go to me and I promise I'll listen and help you" he said then hug me... How I wish every man is like you Mark...

Mark's POV

She stopped crying so I looked at her but shocked after seeing her eyes closed. I tried to wake her up but it looks like she fainted. I checked her pulse gladly it's still beating but but her temperature is really high.

"Shit! I'm going to kill Gino for this!" Binuhat ko agad siya at inilapag sa kama niya at pinuntahan si Justine.

"Dre... Something's wrong with Shane. I think she had a fever"

"What?! Where is she?"

"She's at the private room. She was drunk last night and I'm afraid to wake you up"

"Alas... Let's me see her" he said calmly.

Pinuntahan na namin agad si Shane at nilapitan na rin siya ni Justine. "Her fever is really high. Someone must take care of her while we're gone. Let's gind Gin---"

"No!" I shouted out of nowhere.

"Why? He is Shane's Boyfriend. And I'm sure Shane will be okay with it"

"Don't think so dre..." I said still with my annoyed face.

"Why? What happen?"

"He and Shane are having a time out"

"What?! Why?"

"He found out the relationship between Kei and Gino so she confront him. Gino is confused and doesn't know which one of them whose truly in his heart"

"What?! Where is that Jerk? I'm going to kill him!" He screamed and leave the room. He went yo our room and the door was lock.

"Gino! Open this damn door or you'll definitely gonna get it!"

The other have come out of the room and we all tried to stop Justine from breaking the door.

"Let me go! I'm going to kill that jerk!" He shouted.

"Justine what are you up to stop trying to break that door. He already left last night in a hurry saying that he had something urgent to do" pagkatapos banggitin ni anica iyon ay tumigil na siya.

"He's trying to escape the situation. That fool! I swear if i see him, I'm gonna break every bone in his legs"

"Relax dude... What did my brother do to you?" Si Gio.

"Oh not me. Try and look at my sister and tell me how am I going to calm my self down?"

"Why? Where is Shane?"

"You call all go to her while Mark and I are going to find some meds"

"Okay. Be safe guys"

Umalis na kami ni Gio para maghanap ng gamot buti nalang may malapit na village dito kung saan nakahingi kami tulong sa isang especialista.

Isinaman namin siya para magamot na si Shane. Buti nalang at hindi naman siya ganoon kalala.

"Mataas lang ang blood pressure niya at mukhang pagod lang at maraming iniisip. Pagkagising niya ay painumin niyo siya ng pinakuluang sili at wagkakalimutang kumain ng gulay. Makakatulong ito sa kanyang mabilis na paggaling. At kung maaari ay iwasan niyo munang pagtrabahuhin siya" sabi nang matanda.

"Maraming salamat po. Magkano po ba ang ibabayad namin sa inyo?" Ako.

"Hindi na kinakailangan ijo. Gusto ko lamang tumulong sa inyo. Hindi ako nagpapabayad"

"Maraming salamat ho. Ihahatid nalang po namin kayo" sina Gio.

Tiningnan namin si Shane na hanggang ngayon ay wala paring malay. Hindi parin maalis sa akin ang galit. Hindi ko maalis ang galit ko kay Gino habang nakikita ko si Shane na nasasaktan.

Ako muna ang nagbantay sa kanya kasama si Justine.

"I'll definately kill Gino for this" inis na sabi ni Justine habang nakatingin kay Shane. I feel the same thing.

"But you know she still love him right? At kung gising man siya ngayon ay paniguradong pipigilan ka niya" I know Shane so much.

"I know. And I hate that. He's protecting a man who can't even fight for her and to defend their relationship. Ano ba kasing nakita niya sa gago na yun? At ano naman kayang pumasok sa isipan ni Gino at hindi siya makapag-decide kung ano ba talaga ang nararamdaman niya? I mean they have been in a relationship for 3 fuckin' years"

"Seriously dude. I think let's just give him time. For now let's take care of Shane"

"You're right"

Ilang saglit kaming nagbantay hanggat sa nakita namin unti unti ng dumilat ang mata ni Shane.

"Shane, are you okay now?" tanong ni justine.

"I still feel dizzy kuya but I'm okay" sabi niya at bahagyang ngumiti. A fake smile.

Tumingin siya sa akin at alam kong nakikita niya na talagang hindi parin natatanggal ang galit ko.

"Kuya can you leave us two alone for now? I just want to talk to Mark" sambit niya sa kapatid.

"Alright, I'll be outside if you need me" at lumabas na si Justine ng kwarto.

Hinawakan ko naman ang kamay ni Shane. "Sure ka ba talaga na okay ka na?" tanong ko.

"Yea... Thank you for being here with me"

"You don't need to thank me. I'll be always here for you"

Ngumiti naman siya. "Mark, do you think he'll chose me?" agad nawala ang ngiti sa labi niya.

"Shane... You are the best girl I have ever met. You are special, one of a kind and a great friend" sambit ko.

"You know I want a straight answer right? Yes or no? Do you think Gino will chose me?" patulo na ang luha niya.

"I don't know Shane. Gino is a complicated one. I'm sorry" pagkasabi ko non ay tuluyan ng bumagsak ang luha sa mga mata niya kaya naman yumakap ako sa kanya. "It's alright Shane. I'm here"

"Ang sakit Mark. Ang hirap pala ng may kahati" sambit niya.

I know, Shane. I trully know how you feel....
