What is love?

In my definition, love does not cheat. Love is pure.

It is growing old with someone and you still look at him the way you did 50 years ago. It doesn't fade or even perishes.

Love is something that's not easy to understand.

It's complicated but you find ways to decipher it.

When you love someone, you'll treasure them.

You'll not hurt them.

But Tyler seems to have a different definition of love. I wonder, is it, love? Or he's just saying it to get me?

I did not let him sway me.

Never again.

It's not your fault if you get fooled once. But you're to blame if you get fooled twice.

He sure does know how to play his words. I almost believed him.

Almost.

But my sanity's intact and my mind telling me to stop.. to walk away. And so I did.

My feet and chest feel heavy but it was the best thing I have ever done.

I stood up for myself.

Way to go, Krysh!

Tears were flowing from my eyes but there's a glint of happiness that kept me smiling. I must have looked like a fool. I was smiling and crying at the same time.

Oh fuck. Who cares?

I did not go back to the room. I spent the rest of the night lurking around the beach.

This is what I need.

A breath of fresh air.

Away from all of those people. There are a lot of people at the front beach.

People started to gather when the fire dance started. The fire was so mesmerizing. It brought light to the quiet night.

My heart almost jumped when someone grabbed my shoulders.

"Geez! Sunny!", I exclaimed and nudged her shoulder. "You scared the shit out of me."

I was laughing when I noticed she was not smiling. My eyebrows furrowed.

"What's the matter?", I asked, curiosity creeping inside me.

"You cried.", she said.

It was not a question. She knew just by looking at me. She's my best friend after all.

I averted my gaze. "Of course not. Where did you get that?", I said, trying to fake a laugh.

"I know you're seeing a guy. I've known you since forever. I just don't know why you're not telling me.", she said sulkily.

I know that Sunny would soon be asking questions but I didn't know it would be this soon.

What would I tell her?!

Hey, Sunny. Guess what? I'm seeing Tyler. Yeah, my stepbrother! But we're ending it today.

What the fuck?

"Do I.. know this guy?", she asked and I jolted in surprise.
