Chapter 50

"Jax..." I called. "Are you really dating Claire?"

I've been meaning to ask him this. Gusto ko lang sanang malaman kung ano ang totoo.

Jax looked at me like I was a mere stranger. Like I wasn't the person he loved before... And it's breaking my heart.

"Why do you care?"

Napalunok ako at hindi inaasahan ang sagot niya. I can feel the water in my eyes already.

"You're already jumping to one Saavedra to another, what more do you want from me? Saan mo pa ako gagamitin?"

My jaw dropped. I really never expect words like that from him and it hurts.

"Can't we even be friends?" I asked, trying so hard for my voice not to break.

Kahit iyon na lang. Kahit iyong kausapin manlang niya ako. Hindi pa rin niya maibibigay iyon?

Jax slightly shook his head. "I don't want to be friends with you."

I felt a pang in my chest the moment he turned his back on me. Agad akong napahawak sa dibdib ko. I was about to check my heart rate pero nagulat ako dahil hindi ko pala suot ang watch ko. Oh no!

I quickly went back to our room to find it but it wasn't there! Nasaan na kaya iyon?

Bigla kong naalala iyong game kanina kung saan tinanggal ko iyon. Oh my God! Pati iyong necklace ko hindi ko na nakuha! It was Jaxith's gift!

I quickly went back to the field where we played. Madilim pa naman na. I got my phone and opened the flashlight. Halos atakihin ako nang tumambad si Grant sa harapan ko tapos may hawak pa siyang libro.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

Tinapat ko pa iyong flashlight sa mukha niya.

"I don't like crowded places," Grant said.

As expected, bato.

I rolled my eyes. "Samahan mo na lang akong hanapin 'yong necklace and watch ko!"

Hinatak ko siya kaya wala na siyang choice.

"Saan kaya 'yun napunta?" I whispered to myself while trying to find it. Lumingon ako kay Grant. "Alam mo naman itsura ng hinahanap natin, 'di ba?"

Umiling si Grant kaya napa-facepalm na lang ako.

"My watch, it's a like an almost color pink strap," I told him. "And my necklace... Umm..."

Napatigil ako dahil hindi ko alam kung paano iyon sasabihin.

"The Pereira one?" he asked without looking at me. Nakatingin lang siya sa lupa at naghahanap-hanap.

"Mmm..." I simply agreed.

Seryoso niya akong tinignan at may bahid iyon ng pag-aalala. "Kaya ka ba umiyak?"

Agad akong umiling. "I didn't cry!"

"Your eyes are red, stupid."

They were? Agad akong nag-iwas ng tingin. Natahimik kami pareho kaya naisipan kong magkwento na lang tungkol sa nangyari kanina. I can tell anything to Grant anyway.

"You know I tried talking to him earlier..." I said while walking beside Grant.

Parehong naka-on ang flashlight ng phones namin at nakatutok iyon sa nilalakaran naming dalawa.
