Where it all started

JENNA'S POV

"David... David!" I shouted at their front gate, shouting for several times but it seems no one is home. "David! If you can hear me... Please, come outside. We need to talk."

As I said those, their gate suddenly opened on its own that creeps the freaking hell shit out of me and there, I saw two men walking straightly on my direction, dragging me inside so tight.

"Back off!" I yelled at them, trying so hard to escape but they were too strong. "D-David..." I stuttered as I saw him there, standing so firm, looking at my eyes directly.

"What do you want, Jenna?" He straight up asked me.

"David... I-I... You need to listen to me first." I said but he didn't respond. "It's an accident, hindi ko naman alam na kaibigan mo 'yon until I found out a day after that hooked up."

"That friend of mine was dead now, Jenna. He explained everything, he did, you knew Jacob so well that he couldn't even say a freaking lie to me."

I hold his hand, my chest is pumping so hard that it troubled me for breathing. "D-David... I legit promise it's an accident, I didn't know it was Jac-----" My words were cut off as he slapped me so hard that it stings to death.

"I already told you, right? I hate playing games behind my back, Jenna. We already made a deal, if you can't be mine then, no one shall ever be yours."

"David, please... Just listen to m-------" He slapped me so hard once again, his guards dragged me off outside, closing the gate in front of me. "H-he's a monster..." I uttered, crying.

I headed back home, realizing my life was on the edge beyond David's palm. I've been his girlfriend for freaking six years now but I can't even escape yet I can't even stay, why? David is a monster.

"What happened, Jenna?" My friend asked as she sees me, crying. "Is it all about David? Anong sinabi niya? What did he do to you?"

"J-Jacob... His friend..."

Kumunot ang noo nito. "Jacob? The guy you hooked up with? What happened to him?"

"He's dead," She was shocked by the news and so am I. "He's a monster! David is a monster!"

"Shush, stop, stop." We both stared at each other's eyes. "Jenna... It's not your loss, okay? You've been freed now."

"I'm not, I am freaking hell not."

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't even wanted to know at all." Mariin kong sambit na nagpatahimik sa kaniya 'di kalaunan.

BELLE'S POV

"What do you mean you saw a monster? Girl, it's just between you and David." Jam said.

"Kaya nga e, kami lang dalawa 'yong nandoon pero parang hindi si David 'yong nakausap ko kanina."

"Now, you made everything a mess again, Belle. I mean... Explain it."

"I called his name, I tapped his shoulders and there, he shouted at me, his eyes were gleaming in fire that made my knees to tremble and all I can hear was his command to stay away from him."

Jamellah's eyes were widened up. "He's like that?" She asked and I nodded. "Girl, siyempre nasasaktan pa 'yong tao kaya wala siya sa mood. Jusko, akala ko naman, literal na halimaw na handa kang patayin at saktan."

I sighed heavily. "But I was so curious, Jam, I really am. Like, why? Why would the hell he can ever choked and pushed Jenna like that? I mean... Parang okay lang sa kaniya ang manakit?"
