The Falling Game

Chapter 14

Mika's POV

Whoa! Last night was...was...i dont know how to say it. Ang naaalala ko lang ay yung hinalikan ako ni Jessey sa cheeks. Napatingin nalang ako sa kisame para makapag isip ng...wait! Di ko dorm toh! This isnt even my room! Nag-panic ako ng unti at pinagala gala yung mga mata ko. Nagulat na lang ako dahil...katabi ko si stick? SHET! WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?! Nakatitig na lang ako kay Jessey.

Jessey: Mika,tama na yan. (*nagsasalita habang nakapikit pa rin yung mga mata)

Mika: Bakit? Wala naman akong ginagawa sayo ah?

Jessey: Meron kaya. Titig ka ng titig sakin. Baka matunaw ako niyan. (*bukas na mga mata at nakahiga)

Mika: Whoa! What? Wag Assuming kasi! (*umiwas ng tingin)

Jessey: Luh? Nagi pa talaga akong assuming ah?

Mika: Sabi nga sakin ng isa sa mga kaibigan ko, EXPECT LESS, HURT LESS!

Jessey: whtevr..

Mika: Jess?

Jessey: Hmmm?

Mika: Ba't andito ako sa dorm niyo?

Jessey: Uhm,kagabi po kasi,pagtapos kita halikan,namutla ka at bigla na lang natumba. Tinawag ko lahat ng teammates ko mabuhat ka lang papunta dito sa loob noh! BIGAT MO! Nagtaka kami kung may nainom ka ba or what. Kinuha ko temperature mo at gulat na gulat ako kasi ang taas ng lagnat mo. Di rin namin alam kung saan ka patutulugin. Dahil nga ako pinaka-close mo dito, sinabi nila na dito ka na lang matulog. Sa tabi ko. Likot mo matulog ah! Ilang beses mo rin ako siniko!

Mika: Hahaha(*shy smile at napakamot ng ulo) sorry po..kaya ba nag ka pasa ka?

Jessey: (*turo sa left arm ko) Ahmm..opo?

Mika: (*lumapit kay Jess) Fck it! Ba't ba kasi nasa panaginip ko siya? Sorry Jess ah? Di ko sinasadya...

Jessey: Uhm..it's okay Miks, really.

Mika: Jess, may guitar ka?

Jessey: Yeah.Yun oh(*turo sa guiter) Ano gagawin mo?

Jessey's POV
Ano naman kaya gagawin ni Mika? Nag simula na lang siya mag strum ng guitar at kumanta...

I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone
I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around

It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away
And you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all
No, I'm really not fine at all
Tell me this is just a dream
'Cause I'm really not fine at all

Ramdam na ramdam ko yung feelings ni Mika sa kanta niya. Di magandang pakiramdam kaya nakakaawa siya. Nakikita ko rin na may mga namumuo na mga luha sa gilid ng mga mata niya.I need to help her...

Jessey: Um..Mika,bakit yun yung kinanta mo?

Mika: Nothing...

Jessey: Miks, alam ko na may meaning yun. You said you wanna help me and I said yes. Tinutulungan mo ko ngayon sa problema ko. Please naman. Let me help you with whatever this is..(*hawak sa kamay ni Mika) Tell me (*stares at Mika's eyes)

Mika: Jess, mahirap sabihin toh para sakin. Eto na lang. Para ma-summarize.You ready?

Jessey: Yeah...

Mika: Pareho tayong nagmo-move on.
