Ghost Versus Me

Part 7

Alyssa's POV

Gretch and I are sitting in the common area when we saw Dennise. She smiled at us but didn't say anything, Gretch smiled back at her while I just stared at her blankly.

"She's probably gonna sit there again." I told Gretch when Dennise was already got out of the door.

"Huh?"

"Uupo na naman yan dun." ulit ko sabay nguso ko sa labas.

"And so?"

I looked at her and smirked, "Ilang months nang wala yung girlfriend, can't she move on?"

Tinignan ako ng masama ni Gretch saka sinermonan, "Seriously, Aly? It's just, I am not sure, but from what I've heard, 2 weeks pa lang nung pagdating natin dito. Making it just a month pa lang."

"See? It's already been a month!"

Binatukan niya ko, "Fuck, Gretch! What's that for?!"

"Luckily, she can't hear you. You're so insensitive!"

"I'm just stating fact here. Even she talks to her every freaking day, hour, minute or second she'll just never come back. She's fucking dead!" I exclaimed, nakakapika kasi na hindi niya magets yung point ko. But, Gretchen is just staring pass through me,  wearing a horror face.

"What now, Gretch?!" I scowled then look at my back.

Dennise standing at the door looking at me.

I swallowed a big lump in my throat & slowly diverted my gaze back to Gretchen.

"You didn't tell me she's standing there, you bitch!" I whispered.

But I stiffened when Dennise talk, "You're right."

I didn't bother to look at her. Para akong batang nahuling nangungupit sa nanay niya.

Yung galit niya, halatang halata sa boses niya. Alam ko ilang araw pa lang kaming nagkakasama at never ko pang narinig na lumakas ng ganito yung boses niya.

"She's dead and no matter what I do, she'll never come back to life for me. Even I cry for a year nonstop, even I talk to her every second or even I walk on my knees from here to any church in the world, she'll never EVER comeback to life." 

She paused & sounds like sobbing. I really don't wanna look at her but I can't help it & my head just turned.

Damn. She's crying.

She's wiping her tears but her tears are still flowing like river.

"I can't help it. I miss her. Every second of my life. Every time I wake up and realize again that there will be no more her, I die. I don't want to feel this too, but I love her. I love her that my heart can't help but to cry and wish even it's crazy, I still always wish that this is just a bad dream and I will wake up, Lei's still there. But no! She's not." patuloy niyang sigaw sakin habang umiiyak, pilit pinupunasan yung mga luhang parang walang balak tumigil sa pag-agos.

"Look, I am sorry that you have to hear it.-" paumpisa ko pero agad niya kong binara,

"But you're not sorry that you just hurt me?"

"Truth hurts, Dennise." O damn it. I am so great, parang sinugatan ko na siya, binuhusan ko pa ng alcohol.

"Stop it. Just say sorry to her, Ly.!" Gretch interjected and then looked at Dennise, "Look Den, I am really really sorry for Aly's behavior." sabay hila sakin patayo.

...

"Pambihira ka naman talaga o!" gigil na sermon sakin ni Gretch.

Hinila niya ako papunta dito sa rooftop, at yung gigil niya, super visible sa muka niya.
