Don't Hug Me Im Scared Novels & Stories

I witnessed how his lips parted… then he closed his eyes as he pulled me into a hug. Hindi ako nakapag-react sa ginawa niya. Craig was hugging me inside the lift. I could hear the loud beating of his heart. I could feel his chest rise and fall as if he was doing his best to restrain himself. "I'm sorry, baby…" he whispered near my ear. "I'm sorry I scared you…" Naramdaman ko ang paghugot niya ng hininga. "I'm just… so mad. I'm sorry."

matigas kong sabi without breaking my eye contact to him. Hindi ako takot sa kaniya. Hindi dapat siya kinatatakutan. Mas magmukha pa akong tanga at mahina kapag natatakot ako sa kaniya. I. am. not. scared. in. anyone. Kahit si kamatayan pa ang makaharap ko, 'di ako takot.

I stepped forward and hugged him. Hard. He froze for one breath, then wrapped his arms around me. His shirt smelled like smoke and coffee and panic. I buried my face against his chest, trying to convince myself he was still here. Still warm. Still breathing. Still alive. “You scared me,” I whispered. His chin brushed the top of my head. “I didn’t do it on purpose.” “That’s not funny.” “I wasn’t joking.” That made me hold him tighter. Behind him, across the street, between the smoke and the flashing lights, I saw a man in a gray suit standing under the broken sign of Lucky Wok.

And when he got close to me, he hugged me tightly right away. "Are you alright? Do you feel any pain or discomfort? Is your illness acting up?" sunod-sunod niyang tanong nang kumawala siya mula sa pagkakayakap sa akin. "Ayos lang ako, huwag ka nang mag-alala sa'kin," tugon ko, at maliit na ngumiti sa kaniya. "Natatakot lang ako, hindi ko kayang pigilan." He suddenly held my hand because of what I said and hugged me again. "Don’t be afraid anymore. That will never, ever happen to you again," he said, full of certainty.

Konti nalang bibigay na. I never appreciate others' feelings because for me it's just nothing. A distraction, a waste, and a useless thing in this world. It'll just destroy you. To change you into someone you'll never imagine. "You're afraid..." He whispered. I want to answer that I'm not. Being afraid is not part of my world. Kahit kailan hindi ako nakaramdam ng takot. Why would I be scared? If deep inside I know that I'm scarier than what I'm facing right now.

"Oh, you know..." He towered over me, and I cower a bit. This scene reminded me of a mice and a kitten. I gulped as I held his hard chest, trying to push it away. But my hands have a mind of their own. Imbes na itulak, bumaba pa ito sa tiyan niya — kung saan nagyayabang ang abs niya. "You're avoiding cuddles with me because you're afraid you might fall for me." WHAT?!

my voice softened when I hugged her tight, like it's my first time to see her again. Hinawakan niya ang balikat ko para ilayo sa kaniya at tiningnan ako sa mata na para bang binabasa niya ang mata ko pero iniwas ko rin ang tingin ko dahil ayaw kong mabasa niya ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. I was scared. I'm scared that he'll hurt me earlier and I'm scared that I'm alone here in this empty road, and to those drunk pervert men. I'm scared of what might happen.

Ano pa ang gusto niyang sabihin? "A-Are you .. scared of me?"

“Malia!” I heard him screaming my name from behind. Damang-dama ko rin ang pinaghalong gigil at inis sa boses nito na mas lalong nagpanindig ng mga balahibo ko sa katawan. Hindi ko siya pinansin, takbo lang ako nang takbo. Wala na akong lakas para tumakbo pa ngunit gusto ko siyang layuan kasi natatakot ako sa kaniya. “Ahh! Let me go!” I yelled when he grabbed me and hugged me without any second thoughts.

Hindi rin nakatakas sa paningin ko ang marka ng baril sa kabila niyang pisnge at ang pamumula ng gilid ng mga mata dahil sa galit. He automatically snakes his arms around my trembling body before caressing my hair with his hand. "Why did you do that?" Parang naiiyak niyang tanong at nakagat ang pang-ibabang labi. Hindi ko siya sinagot at sinunggaban na lamang siya ng yakap na mahigpit at doon umiyak nang umiyak. "I'm scared," I confessed under his neck and tightens the hug. "Scared of what?" He asked as if didn't know what I'm pointing about.
