Caylee's POV

"Baby, I'm sorry if I didn't believe you when you said you didn't hurt anyone. I'm sorry if I keep on making you cry each time I leave your side. I'm sorry if I couldn't tell you everything. Huli na ang lahat sa ating dalawa pero hindi pa huli para maipakita ko sa buong mundo kung gaano kaganda ang puso mo. You deserve to be loved by everyone, my Cayanne Leigh."

I started crying when Zin showed everyone a hidden video recorded at Audrey's apartment. I wasn't aware that my best friend Tiff had it all this time.

"Girl, sorry if it took me days to help you. Walang internet sa Elysian, remember?" Tiffany whispered, squeezing my hand to comfort me. Iyak na ako ng iyak at halos nahihirapan na akong makahinga.

Umiling ako at nagpasalamat pa sa kanya. This will definitely prove to the world that I'm innocent, that I didn't hurt anyone because I'm a jealous freak.

I was in the middle of sobbing when I noticed Zin walking towards the exit door of the banquet room. I immediately chased him till we reached the lobby. Nakita kong nakatayo siya sa tapat ng elevator at iniwan niya dito sa gilid ang A-List Achiever Award niya. Without hesitating, I grabbed it and walked towards him.

"Zin." He was smiling but when our eyes met, it instantly faded. "Naiwan mo," I continued, showing him the award I'm holding.

"No, that belongs to you. You deserve it." My jaw clenched but I didn't say a word as tears continuously fell down to my cheeks.

Something must have crossed his mind that bothered him. Bigla na lang siyang naglakad palapit sa akin. He was about to touch my cheeks when he held himself. Instead, he gave me his handkerchief.

Tila nadadagdagan ang bigat sa dibdib ko habang pinagmamasdan ko ang mukha niya. I want to hug him so bad. I want to forget about everything and feel his touch again but...I know that isn't the right thing to do.

"You can't just run away after pulling that stunt you did inside," I muttered, trying to calm myself even though my heart keeps on breaking apart. I didn't want to see Zin go away because I still love him. Even if I wanted to, I can't just erase my feelings overnight.

"I only did what I have to do. Kailangan malaman ng lahat na hindi ka nagsisinungaling. You shouldn't suffer anymore."

"But I am still suffering," I admitted. "Tingin mo dahil sa ginawa mo, magiging okay na 'ko? Zin, you hurt me the most. Bakit kinailangan mong ilihim sa akin ang tungkol kay Ameera?"

He was taken aback by it. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at napanganga ng kaunti.

"Sinabi ni Tita Kenzie sa akin ang tungkol sa kapatid ni Audrey," I explained. "Is that why you can't leave your ex? Because your guilt trapped you to her and you think that what happened in the past is all your fault?"

He looked down and did his best not to cry.

"Zin, you didn't kill Ameera so why do you keep on blaming yourself? Why do you keep on choosing them instead of choosing me? Is your promise to Ameera more important than being with your girlfriend, huh?" Tumaas na ang boses ko dahil sa galit.

"Caylee..." He can't even explain? Hindi ko kasi maintindihan. Bakit sobrang takot siyang ikuwento sa akin ang tungkol kay Ameera?

"Do you even love me?" My voice cracked.
