P.W: The Betrayal

I am in a hurry right now, for my best friend just texted me that she's on top of a complex building. Ellaine's boyfriend just texted her about ending their 5-year relationship.

Look, who would not be that devastated when you received a breakup message early in the morning? So, I hurriedly went inside the elevator, and as soon as I get there, I saw her spreading both of her arms in the air.

"Ellaine!" I shouted. She turned around, and I immediately knew that she is crying.

"Meg, what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here!" she shouted back.

"What are you doing?" I asked as I run towards her.

"Leave me alone, I'm done. I--I want t-to end m-y life!" she said, and her tears started to flow uncontrollably.

"What happened? you can tell me Ellaine; you can tell me." I assured her that no one in this world could ever understand her as much as I do, this is my best friend and I won't let anything bad happen to her, I really won't let it.

She hugged me and cried, I let her cry until she gets tired so she would start to tell everything.

"Emman just texted me this morning, He said something that I really can't imagine, I thought we will be in each other's arms till the end but why? I tried to call him, but he won't answer, He even blocked me on his social media accounts. He just shut me down and left me." said Ellaine.

"What did he just say?"

"Here, read this."

She handed me her phone, then I start reading it.

~Ellaine, I want you to know that I am happy being with you, I want to see you happy. Thank you for the memories we had for almost 5 years, your love, time, and efforts are much appreciated. I am happy being with you, but it doesn't mean that I love you. I got a really hard time being clear with my feelings, I got a long time on determining whom I love, I want you to be happy that's why I am not going to be selfish this time, I'm happy being with you, but it's not you whom I wanna share my life with. It's someone else. I'm sorry, I am.~

This text was so awful. If I were Ellaine who had received this text, I would drink and get drunk for the rest of my life.

"Who's the girl that he wanna be with? Am I not enough Meg? Am I?"

"I'm sorry about what happened between the two of you, but you'll get over this Ellaine, cheer up!"

"But I can't live without Emman, I can't Meg, I can't!!"

"Yes, you can, hindi ka takot iwanan, takot kalang mapag-isa you can do it Ellaine, I know you can."

After that Ellaine went home and I accompanied her. I also waited and watched closely as she fell asleep. And then I went home.

Now I am here feeling guilty of what I am about to do, and what I have done.

I'm so sorry Ellaine, that I was the girl you're talking about. I am the sole reason why you're in pain right now.

But what's done is done. I should fight for the love that was mine in the first place...

Is five years enough to let you be with someone I long for?

Can I take him back now?

If I had the capability of traveling back in time. I would definitely tell my past self, that I should confess and I shouldn't hide my feelings.

Thank you Ellaine for taking good care of Emman when I was away.

And now I'm here, I'm taking him back. Even if that means I would become the cruelest best friend in the world.

I lost him for 5 years...and I can't afford to lose him any longer.

Hey Loves,

This is a story I made 4 years ago when I am riding a bus going home from my summer vacation. The year 2019 was a tough year for me, but that's the time I started expressing my emotions through writing. That's all. Watch out for the next stories that I've also made 4 years ago. I'll be posting it here.
