Catch Me When I Fall (Isla De Verde Series #2)

Special Chapter

It's been so long since she left this world. I never even got the chance to admit what I truly feel for her. I'm so fucking stupid for realizing it after two years. Napakatagal na panahon ang nasayang ko bago ko napagtantong minahal ko na pala siya.

I only liked her back then. I was so confused and I don't know what to do with myself. I'm in denial of my feelings towards her. Pero lahat naman ng tao nagkakamali rin. People make mistakes and it's inevitable.

My phone beeped while I'm busy studying for my next subject this afternoon. I'm already on my second year college. I have a girlfriend and her name is Faith.

I just thought that maybe I should forget about Llantina now. It's been so long since she was gone. Wala na akong ibang magagawa kung hindi ang tanggapin lahat ng nangyari.

If I let myself stuck in the past, I'll never be better. I need to accept what happened and move on. That's all. There's no room for regrets now because it's already done. The person that I always looked forward to is now gone and she's not coming back anymore.

I saw a message from Faith. I opened it and read the message.

From: Faith

Hey, Creed. Gotta drop by ur house later? Let's have some fun!

I immediately typed a reply for her. Faith, she's a kind woman. Actually, she has now a special place in my heart. I already love her but not the kind of how I felt for Llantina. But I think this will work if we stayed together and we're both cooperative.

We've been together for almost two years now. I met her after I finished my first year in college. She met me when I was such a mess; grieving of Llantina's death. I tried to isolate myself from anyone but I didn't succeeded. I'm becoming more and more grievous so I let her stay by my side till I finally have the courage to get up on my own feet.

Ako:

Sure. I'll buy some snacks for you.

I continued my study after that. I needed to ace this time. I've never been so serious of my studies and I'm never the kind of person who's grade conscious. I just wanted to make up for it right now. Hindi naman ako bumagsak. Hindi rin pasang-awa. It's all average.

I'm not like Alon who always study almost everything about his field. He's a total geek for heaven's sake. That fucker, mas lalo pa nga yatang gumagaling sa pag-aaral kapag ini-imagine niya ang first love niyang may asul na mga mata which is Oceane. Llantina's bestfriend.

It's funny how she thinks that I liked her best friend when in fact that's not true. It's a lie that I just made up but I didn't thought that she'll buy that one. That gasoline tank.

"Where are you going?" Alon asked when he saw me going out of their house.

"I have a date with Faith," I simply replied. He didn't respond though so I just shrugged it off and left.

Nagtungo muna ako sa pinakamalapit na grocery store para makabili ng mga snacks. It's almost six in the evening. The sun is nowhere to be found anymore just a pure dark and deep blue with a mixture of purple sky. May ilang ilaw narin ang nakabukas sa hindi kalayuan.

I hopped out of my car and slid inside the grocery store. Faith loves to eat Potato chips and clubhouse also. There's a nearest stall outside this grocery store where I could buy her a clubhouse. See, I'm really freaking serious in this relationship.
