Epilogue
"You fucking left me, Lia! You never said a word and disconnected me from your life! Did you know the pain I had to go through?! The things I had to overthink?! I was fucking miserable! You left me to be miserable!" I'm having none of her shit. I can't forgive her. I won't forgive her.
"I'm sorry, Primo. I had no choice! I was getting scared and uncomfortable with how things have gotten between us. You changed the way you acted, Primo. That scared me." This girl and her reasons. I just can't comprehend her.
"Really? That's the reason you're giving me. You fucking unfriended me and blocked me on all my socials because you were scared of the way I changed? That's it? That's your reason for leaving me so miserable thinking about where I went wrong? You know what, fuck you." I turned my back and left her there. I can't stand this girl. Never again.
"Primo! Primo!" I heard her yell my name. I won't look back. I can't look back.
Dumiretso ako ng convenience store to clear up my mind. I bought an iced tea and some chips to eat. I sat down on an empty seat and took a deep breath to calm myself down. That girl really got on my nerves.
"Problemado?" I hear an unfamiliar voice utter.
I looked up to see an unfamiliar face.
"Yeah, a fucked up human relationship," I answered.
"Iinom na lang natin yan." Pag-aya niya as she handed me a bottle of soju.
I don't know why but I accepted. She seems like a nice person.
"So, care to share?" she asked.
"There's this girl. We were talking and played games for a few months. One day, she suddenly cut me off. No reason, no word, nada. She blocked me on all my socials and acted like I didn't even exist." I shared.
I really don't know why but I am comfortable sharing with this girl. It's a nice thing to have someone to talk to about this.
"What the fuck? That's so unfair on your side. She didn't even say a thing!" She responded.
"And that made me overthink and gave me social anxiety. She had me thinking what did I do? Where did I go wrong?" I ranted.
"You did nothing wrong. It's all her fault and besides, if you made a mistake, the response shouldn't be to ghost you." She reassured.
I shared all my heart and emotions with this random girl. I don't feel judged when sharing with her and it's so comfortable. The night went on as we shared different things and emotions. We had a few drinks and was ready to go home.
"It's getting late, I'll go home na." Paalam niya.
"Hatid na kita." I offered.
"Wag na, I leave nearby lang naman. Don't insist, just buy me a bottle of water or whatever." Sagot niya.
"Okay," I responded and got up to buy her a bottle of water.
As soon as I went back from the cashier, she was gone. There was no one there, no trace of her. As I was going to leave the store, I saw a note on the table.

"Villanueva? Isn't that Lia's surname?" I quietly muttered to myself.
