The Sky's Plan For Us

Chapter Twenty-Four

"Sky..." I called him. He looked at me shocked. He stood up and so did the girl.

"Hi, I believe we met before. Macy..." she said offering her hand, I just looked at it. "Skyler's girlfriend." She said and her words broke my heart. So he was playing with me the whole time?

"Macy, you're not my girlfriend!" Sky shouted at Macy. God this was embarrassing.

"Excuse me." I said and ran out of the restaurant with tears in my face.

"Claire!" Sky shouted, he ran after me. He held my wrist to stop me from walking. "Love, what she said wasn't true.."

"Let go, Sky! Uuwi na ako!" I shouted at him. I'm so stupid to think that he forgave me after everything. I'm so stupid to think na hindi siya nagalit sa'kin sa lahat ng nagawa ko sakaniya.

"Love... please don't do this again." He pleaded. Again? Right this was my second time running away from him but the difference is now I didn't know the truth.

"What? You were playing with me all this time?! All you said was a lie all this time?!" I asked him, tears didn't stop flowing. "Ano? Gusto mo lang bumawi?"

"Claire, no... Hindi, I really love you. Please let's talk." He begged. "She just came there out of nowhere."

"Ang tanga ko dahil naniwala akong pinatawad mo na ko sa pag-iwan ko sayo dati. I guess I'm wrong." I said about to leave when he pulled me to him hugging me tightly. "I get it, Sky. Ngayon bitawan mo na ko kasi you already got what you wanted. Gusto mo bumawi diba? Eto na 'yon, nasaktan mo na ko. Tama na!"

"Love please, iwas na iwas ka sa'kin pero walong taon kitang sinubukan lapitan. Don't leave me again..." he said crying. "I don't want revenge. Hindi ko gustong saktan ka, walang kami ni Macy. Ako naman paniwalaan mo."

"I don't know if I can believe anything you say anymore, Sky. Let me go." I told him. Bakit lagi nalang ganito? Why does it always have to be us? "Lahat ba ng sinabi mo hindi totoo? Takot na takot ako! Ikaw pinili ko pero bakit ganito?"

"Claire, I love you... please..." he was begging again. Deja vu?

"I want time for myself, Sky. Stop hurting me..." I said as my voice broke. I pushed him away and ran to my car.

I drove to my condo since it was near the restaurant. Pagpasok ko ng unit, I sat on the floor and started crying. I wanted to believe him so bad. Pero I was blinded by pain. I was doubting if he could really love me after everything that happened. I was such a mess.

Ito nanaman kami, we were hurting. I just want us to be happy again for once. I was insecure because his dad didn't like me for him, I was insecure because he's always surrounded by girls, I was so insecure that I kept thinking I wasn't enough for him. I cried myself to sleep again that night.

I woke up the following day with a lot of messages from him.

From : Sky

"Please let me explain for once."

"Why do you keep running away from me? From us?"

"You didn't let me explain eight years ago, at least let me explain now."

"She isn't my girlfriend, Claire. Bigla nalang siya sumulpot doon."

"I was waiting for you and she just suddenly sat there."

"Fuck, Claire. I wasn't playing with you. I wasn't planning on taking revenge. I never wanted to do that."

"I just wanted to make you mine again. All I wanted was for you to be mine again. I love you so much, Claire."
