        "So that dogtag saved him?" tanong ko habang pinagmamasdan namin ang kwintas na hawak ni Riley. May butas ito sa gitna, palatandaang dito unang tumama ang bala.

        "Yeah, it's a good thing Lucho wore that Dogtag. Atleast it slowed the bullet down before it could even reach his heart," Riley whispered, worry still over his voice.

        "Come on you guys, the boy might wake up," Piper said, taking the necklace and putting it inside a small box. She looked tensed. "Warren's coming. Apparently kumalat na ang balita at umabot na ito kay Warren."

         I couldn't help but worry. Huntington's disease affects Warren's moods, I witnessed the aggression it caused him, paano nalang kaya ngayong nalaman niyang sinubukang magpakamatay ni Lucho?

        "When Warren gets here--" before Piper could even continue, the door suddenly sprung open, revealing Warren who looks really scared and worried. He immediately ran towards the sleeping Lucho. When Warren looked back at us, we could only look at him with forlorn.

         "H-his parents... Have you called them?" Warren asked. I was expecting him to breakdown in anger but he seemed calm.. he seemed like himself. Like he's trying to stay strong for all of us.

****

         Lucho's parents still hasn't arrived so we never got to leave the hospital, not like we even plan too because right now all we want is to be right by Lucho's side.

        "Anong nangyari diyan sa noo mo?" tanong ni Warren sa akin nang umalis saglit sina Riley at Piper para maghapunan.Sasabay sana ako sa kanila kaso ayokong iwan si Warren mag-isa, natutulog pa kasi si Lucho.

        "Fell from a bike," pagsisinungaling ko. Mabuti nalang talaga at pinahiram ako ni Piper ng damit, kapag kasi nakita niya akong nakadamit pampasyente tiyak mag-aalala lang siya.

        "How are you feeling Warennie?" pag-iiba ko na lamang ng usapan.

        "Pretty bad," Warren chuckled.

        "I feel you," I chuckled too.

         Not a little while longer, Riley and Piper returned, giving us time to grab a quick dinner in the cafeteria.

         As Warren and I were both sitting right across each other, I couldn't help but think back to the past where it was all fun and games for us; I never thought there would come a day that one of us would actually try to commit suicide. 

        "What are you thinking about?" Warren asked as he took in a scoop of food.

        "Nothing," I smiled and shrugged off my thoughts.

        "'Wag kang mag-alala, mababa na ang chansang magwala ako ulit. Umiinom na ako ng gamot," aniya kaya kaya ngumiti na lamang ako.

        "Teka yung cellphone mo nasa akin pala, yung naiwan mo sa kotse ko," paalala niya kaya agad akong napatango-tango. Pero bigla akong tinamaan ng kaba nang maalala ang mga messages namin ni Denver. Binasa kaya niya ang mga iyon? Ang mga pictures? Tiningnan kaya niya?

        "Ba't bigla kang namutla? Para kang nakakita ng multo," Warren laughed.

        I couldn't fake even the slightest smile. "H-hindi mo naman siguro tiningnan ang inbox diba?"

         Warren looked at me in the eyes and sighed as if he has given up. He smiled. "I didn't look at your inbox but I would be lying if I said I didn't notice how Denver called more than a hundred times."

         My eyes widened in great disbelief. I couldn't speak. All I could do was look at him. Did I really heard him right? 

         "W-warren," I stuttered.

        Warren smiled. "'Wag kang mag-alala, matagal ko nang alam ang tungkol sa inyong dalawa ni Denver."

         "H-how?" that was all I could utter.

         "Nang gabing makita kayo ni Lucho sa 7/11, sinabi niya agad sa akin ang totoo kasi nag-aalala siya para sa'yo." Warren smiled. I looked at his eyes, looking for even the slightest anger but I didn't see it. Warren's just as calm and gentle as he was. "Inaamin ko, nung una nag-alala ako... pero mas pinili kong magtiwala sa'yo; hindi mo siya kakaibiganin kung hindi siya mabait sa'yo. Malaki ang galit ko kay Denver noon, pero mas malaki ang tiwala ko sa'yo.... at ayokong ipitin  ka sa away na wala kang kinalaman kaya sinabi ko kay Lucho na 'wag sasabihin sa'yo na alam ko na, at nagpanggap nalang akong walang alam."

           Warren's words, they felt so heartwarming. 

           It felt like a heavy load has been lifted off my chest but still, I want to make one thing clear. "Promise Warren, I had no idea he was Denver Hawthorn at first! But when I learned he was Denver Hawthorn, I tried to avoid him but that's just too mean so I kept in contact with him but instead of being friends, I made sure we were enemies! I swear we we're enemies! Just without the hate!"

        Warren laughed. "It's okay, Braylee. I'm not mad. I'm happy with whatever makes you happy."

END OF CHAPTER 52!
