Thursday.

Every girls understands what Im feeling right now. Back Pain. Headache. Cravings. Irritation and Lower Abdomen Pain.

"Ugrhhh!!! I hate first weeks!", I said loudly while lying in my bed and hooping around.

*knock

*knock

*knock

"Sweetheart? You okay in there?", I suddenly heard mommy's voice reason for me to stop from complaning about what I'm feeling and stop hooping. I looked at the door of my room where mom knocked.

"Jayson?", I heard her called my name. I sigh heavily. Mommy doesnt know that right now its my call. I hate this menstration. Its hurting me like hell every first weeks of months.

"Im just reading something mom! Im fine!", I intentionally raised my voice so that mommy could hear it from outside my room.

*knock

"You sure?", she asked same intensity and tone of voice and I nodded even though she cant see me. I sigh heavily for the second time. I really hate speaking or talking to anyone whenever Im dealing with this cursed cycle.

"I am. Goodnight ma!", I uttered again loudly to close the conversation. Its not like Im being such a rude daughter here, Im just in situation that every girls can't control. I am really feeling irritated almost for everything since yesterday. I even discarded Jaddi's blue hat a while ago reason for him to cry like a baby and complaining me as a 'bad ate' . His my little brother by the way and his just six years old.

"Goodnight sweetie. I love you", I heard mom's remark.

"I love you too", I answered but this time. It wasnt in a high or loud way. I felt so tired for a sudden.

I didn't heard mom's voice from outside of my room anymore but all that I overheard are some weak footsteps of walking away.

"I should apologize tomorrow. I think, I've been too sassy to them especially on Jaddie", I uttered into myself before letting out a heavy sigh for the third time and finally decided to reach for my hot compress on my bed side table.

"This better be effective"

I tried to relax.

Inhale and Exhale.

Just so I think it can lessen the pain Im dealing tonight but I was wrong. Nothing change. I even took medicines and all but nothings working on me. It is seriously painful.

"Oh please. Stop hurting me so much! Im begging", I begged myself quietly while squeezing my stomach. I even closed my eyes and I can feel my cold sweats flowing down like a tear drop water from my forehead.

Battling with menstration was really hard for me. It was natural to feel pain and all for a girl that is in this situation but mine's different. Like my mom, menstration isnt just a normal pain for us. It felt like somethings squeezing and tearing up into peices, my lower abdomen really hurts. The first time I experience this, I almost run into the hospital.

"What to do? What to do? What to do?", I asked myself over and over. Im sure, all of them are now peacefully sleeping and I dont wanna disturb them. Mommy's been to work and likewise to Dad, they are both tired I know and they needed enough rest.

"What to do?", I force myself to get up from my bed. It hurts! Seriously hurts!

"I should take meds.again. It should do it", I convince myself but how? Getting up from my bed was already hard for me, how about walking downstairs until I reach the kitchen huh? Can I do it on my own? Ugrhh!

"Jayson? Sweetheart, oh thank god your awake. How are you? What do you feel huh? Does your stomach hurts? How about your head huh, sweetie? Are you ok? Tell me"

I blinked twice while looking at my mother's face full of worriedness.

"Jayson", mom called my name again and so I blinked again but this time I shift my gazes all around the room. Its all white.

"W-where am I?", I unconsciously ask while looking around. Last time I check my room were cozy and brown, not white.

Mom turned silent in the mean time and stared at me.

"Dont you remember anything?", she asks me and I look at her puzzled. Remember anything?

"She's awake?", I suddenly heard daddy's voice before a sound of a closing door and so mom and I turned our looks at him who's now walking towards us.

"How do you feel? Does your head hurts?"

"Po?", I ask unconsciously for the second time. Daddy even hold my hand. I slowly raised my right hand and there I saw a niddle attach in my vain. That explains why. I caressed my own forehead and there I feel something rough. Its a bandage. What happened?

I blink thrice. Im inside a white room, lying in a white bed, dextrose by my side and my head has a bandage attached. Why am I inside a hospital? The only thing I remember is, Im inside my room while squeezing my stomach tightly and suffering from so much pain.

"What happened?"

"You fell down the stairs", mommy's the one who answered my question.

"What?", I fell down the stairs? Seriously?

"Jadde saw you last night and so we rush you here", said by dad. Oh crappy! Now I remember. Last night, I tried getting up from my bed to take meds. I walk out my room quietly until I reached the stairs but something unexpected happened. I tripped causing me to fall down the stairs in no time.

"Now I remember everything", I said into myself and now squeezing my eyes closed. Ang tanga ko naman sa part na yun.

"Sweetheart, are you okay? Tell me if somethings---"

" I am okay mom", I cut her as I open my eyes.

"Im okay now", I remark. I saw them both release a heavy sigh before looking at each other like their talking through their gazes.

"Darling, manang Marta will be here in any minutes. She will be with you for the mean time while were at work. Is that ok? Your mom and I need to go", dad said softly before leaning and kiss my head.

I saw mommy smiled at me apologetically. I force myself to smile naturally at them. I should be ably by now. Both of them can't leave their works behind just to be with us, when Jadde and I are sick nor feeling heavy or something.

Their works are the most important.
