Miles Away (Circle Of Friends #1)

Chapter 18

"I think I'm sincere enough, if you're not ready to forgive me yet, my door's always open. I won't chase you, but still," mahabang litanya ni Narrely. I know she's sincere but I can't just take her for now. Sunod sunod ang problema.

Agad naman niyang dinugtungan ang sinabi niya na sinadya niyang putulin kanina, "sorry, Ate Breanna..."

I looked at the door when I heard her call me 'ate', sinubukan ko namang buksan ang pinto kung naroon pa ba siya pero wala na.

I genuinely smiled, I always want to forgive everyone that have done anything stupid against me, but still, they won't stop betraying me for some unknown reason. But I will repeat the same mistake on forgiving them

But I never felt any regret on being a martyr over a friendship, because above all, friendship should be treasured and once you trashed it, it shouldn't be reused as great as the right use of it. So none of it were my lost but their's.

"Kung trip mo magpaka bayani, halika, babarilin kita." Galit na sabi ni Xylene, nag punta ako sa kanila to cool myself down. "Palitan mo na rin kaya si Jose Rizal?" Dagdag pa niya.

I just laughed it all out, the reason why she's saying these was because of my choice to still embrace my sister—Narrely's apology.

"Pasagasaan mo muna bago mo patawarin," dugsong pa rin niya at tumawa nang tumawa. Nababaliw na 'to...

Nakarinig ako ng phone call kaya naman agad na napalingon ako sa direksyon ng tunog, house phone pala nila Xylene 'yon. She's about to pick it up but it stopped.

"Bastos, amputek, kung kailan nakatayo na 'ko?!" Reklamo niya naman after that.

Nanood lang kami ng movie sa T.V habang nag ke-kwentuhan, she's a nice bud, though, ang tagal na nga namin nanonood kaya pakiramdam ko'y dito na 'ko matutulog.

Napa-pitlag ako nang biglang may kumuha sa kinukuhanan ko ng tsitsirya na bowl, si Ian pala.

Pero, I wasn't expecting him here, ah! "Bakit ka nandito?!" I asked immediately. Nagulat naman ako na pag lingon ko nandoon na rin pala si Jazzy.

"So you really forgave her? We're making chika over you but you're not reacting, eh, hehe," comment niya. Hindi ko talaga 'yon napansin, eh.

"I could never resist her, I don't know," nag kibit ako ng balikat. I just can't. Ewan ko ba talaga.

"Ewan ko r'yan! Nasobrahan sa bait, amp," bigla namang nagsalita ang kadarating lang na si Maki while putting his things down.

"Even if I'm mabait, I'm not martyr, ha." Comment ni Jazzy. Well, it's a fact that she's nice, but she has this pride that she can ignore if she said it. While Xylene could never. Me, situational.

Nag usap-usap lang kami when the movie we were waching finished, it's just that—we never get bored while talking to each other.

"Well, she didn't calmed down, mukha siyang galit, eh! Pero ayos lang, I just can't let her go kaya gano'n..." I tried to explain myself, nang tinanong ni Ian kung kumalma ba raw si Laine dahil nakasagap siya ng balitang ayaw kong umalis, I assume Varheine did. Sino pa ba?!

"Ang sinabi ko, kung ayaw, edi 'wag!" Si Xylene ang sumingit, she just can't get it... "Or make it less of your priority," she seriously said at biglang tumayo.

"Walk out ka?" Tanong ni Ian dahil do'n, natawa naman si Xylene.

"Tanga, pupunta 'kong banyo, sama ka?!" Pang iinis naman ito at pinakyuhan siya ni Ian. Tumuloy na nga rin siya sa banyo matapos no'n.

Nang mag gabi, doon kami natulog sa kwarto ni Xylene. It's 2 times bigger than mine, because they're just so rich. Ano nga ba ang pangarap nito? I forgot!
