Waxing Crescent (Completed)

Sad Endings(End)

———

The boy named Mark Masa sits quietly at the back of his father's car while holding unto his mother's hand. He was looking outside of the car window as if trying to see everything for the last time. He was on his way to the airport.

The city has its usual traffic jam and he checked on his watch to see if he have sufficient time to make it on time for his flight. But missing the plane won't be that big of a deal for him. He doesn't want to go anyway.

A familiar motorbike passed through their car and stopped in front of it, also caught in the traffic. A woman was holding on tightly at the back of the rider who briefly took off his helmet to ruffle his hair.

Mark was looking at all this because the rider was the guy he was so familiar with. The guy who caused him to feel happiness and sadness at the same time. He was so happy to finally see that person before he flew to England yet his heart was also breaking seeing him with another woman.

Without thinking much, Mark opened his car door and stepped outside despite the frantic calling of his parents telling him not to. He needs to hear that person's voice to confirm it was his P Vee.

The rain started pouring over the city of Bangkok making Mark shudder more as he came closer to that familiar motorbike. The woman was making the person in front of him turn to her for a kiss. The man obliged and locked his lips with the beautiful woman that was clinging to him.

Mark's whole world stopped with his heart seeing his P Vee did all that. No words can describe the pain he was feeling as the man came to looked his way without breaking the kiss to the woman. The cold gaze of Vee pierced through Mark's heart stabbing it again and again until he can no longer breathe.

"P Vee!" He shouted for his name again and again and again until the image infront of him evaporated like smoke. He was left all alone in a dark place he wasn't familiar with. He cannot do anything but cry. He doesn't like sad endings in the movies. Who would have thought he will get one for himself?

Vee Vivis

The smaller person beside me was mumbling incoherently in his sleep while tossing and turning restlessly. I checked on his temperature and was worried to see he was having a fever. I wiped a damp cloth into his sweaty face thinking what nightmare Mark was having to make him like this.

We found him earlier this afternoon as James, Win and I was heading at his family's villa. Mark was walking on the roadside near his house drenched in the rain. He was staring blankly at nothingness and was unresponsive to any of our calls. No matter how I called out his name and hugged him so tight in my arms, Mark remained frigid. The heartbreak I felt when I saw him in that state was nerve racking.

Was I too late?

I came to Bangkok with James and Win after P Copter, Mark's ex boyfriend told us about the situation. It has been weeks since Mark and I got separated and I had been living life in hell without him around. I haven't heard about him since then and even his closest friends weren't able to reach him.

Mark's ex told us he lost his phone and also informed us about the schedule and date of his flight to England. He finally confirmed this when he was able to finally contact James and Win a couple of days ago using the new phone and number given by his dad.

Mark had given up on me. But it doesn't mean I will allow him to. I lost him before and I barely survived its agony. I can't allow that to happen to us again. Not now that we know the depth of each other's feelings.
