Is it Worth Fighting for? (Pride Series #1)

Chapter 21

ATHENA'S POV

I don't know how to say to them about this. Even Jayce didn't know yet. Nagkakalaboan na kasi kami. It's our monthsary today, I want to surprise by spending time with her. We've been together for almost 27 months. And I think this is the right time to tell her about this.

"Excuse me, is Jayce there?" I asked a random girl. Hindi ko pa naman kilala ang mga tao rito. I wear specs so they won't notice me.

"Sino po sila?" What should I tell her?

"Ah uhm.. A friend" shit! I have to lie.

"Halika po" sumunod ako sa kanya. Maybe were going to Jayce's room kasi mga kwarto na ang nadaraanan namin.

She immediately open the door and to my surprise she kissed a girl. A tear just escaped from my eyes.

"A-athena?" agad naman akong umalis sa kinaroroonan ko. "Athena sandali" she said while following me.

Napunta kami rito sa walang tao na lugar.

"Sa dinami-raming babae Jayce. Sa kanya pa talaga? Sa babaeng pinagseselosan ko pa talaga ha?" giit ko'ng tugon. Hindi ko na napigilan ang galit na nararamdaman ko.

"Let me explain" hinihingal niyang pagkasabi.

"Go on" I said. I have to be strong. Don't let your emotions take over you Athena.

"Kaya ko nagawa 'yon ng dahil ginawa mo rin 'yon sa akin. Do you think it's easy for me to forget those shits?" galit niyang tugon.

"I-i thought you forgive me already" na iiyak ko'ng tugon.

"Tsk. Yes, I forgive you but it doesn't mean that I forgot what you have done." Now, I can say that in my own game, I lose.

"Yet it doesn't mean that you have to do that also" palaban ko'ng tugon. I know it's bad for my health and for the baby but shit I have to fight.

"Ako ang unang nakahalik sa kanya" I was shocked on what she said. "Napaka-toxic na ng relasyon natin Athena. Halos nagkakasakitan na tayo. It's not healthy for the both of us" she said while holding back her tears.

"So I guess we're over now" agad itong tumingin sa akin.

"No please Athena" she said while holding my hand. Another tear escaped from my eyes.

"Now choose. It's either you choose me or that girl" nanginginig man ang aking mga labi ay pilit ko parin itong nilalabanan.

"I don't want to choose" she cried hard.

"I'll make a decision" tumingin ito sa akin na puno ng pagtataka.

"W-what?" sinisinghot niyang tugon.

"Choose her. I want you to be happy Mi amore. I'll surrender now" I painfully smiled to her. Why does it hurt so much? "Por ultima vez te amo" (For the last time, I love you) she just shakes her head.
