Quest Of Elites (HU's Book 2)

Chapter 10: Persuading Mr. Council

I remember the times we spent together,
On those drives,
We had a million questions,
All about our lives,

And when we got to New York,
Everything felt right,
I wish you were here with me
Tonight,

I remember the days
we spent together,
Were not enough,

And it used to feel like dreamin'
Except we always woke up,
Never thought not having you
Here now would hurt so much,

Tonight I've fallen and
I can't get up,
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up,

And every night I miss you,
I can't just look up,
And know the stars are
Holdin' you, holding' you, holdin' you tonight...

Our eyes locked in a tight staring contest. I felt my hands freezing, not due to the cold wind but to what he said.

I felt like he sucked out all the air I'm breathing, inhaling seem so hard to do in split second.

Tonight by FM Static continued playing as we deluded ourselves into believing that staring is better than talking. For we both stayed silent.

Hindi ko alam ang isasagot, sa totoo lang. Hindi kasi ako makapaniwala na sinabi niya 'yon. O dapat ko ba yun paniwalaan?

He couldn't be jealous, for goodness' sake, he will never be. And the fact that he'd admitted it just doesn't sit right to me.

Naiisip ko, baka nagluluko na naman siya.

"You?" And finally, I've found my voice. "Jealous?"

I couldn't help but scoffed yet I stopped from breathing. Oh come on, why am I having this hard time to inhale the same air he's inhaling?

...I remember the car you
were last seen in,
And the games we would play,
All the times we spilled our coffees,
And stayed out way too late,

I remember the time you said
And told me about your Jesus,
And how not to look back
Even if no one believes us,
