Get Me Out of Here (Completed)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I was crying the whole time we're heading home. I was behind him, our horses were just walking back slowly as if we have all the time in the world. It was so silent between us and he never looked at me again.

Despite what I told him, despite telling him to go away, he's still taking me home.

We entered the gates and went straight to the stable. Mang Cesar and Corine are both waiting there worriedly, they rushed to us immediately.

"Miss Armie! Ayos ka lang po ba?" Corine asked, she's almost in a panic when she saw my face wet with tears.

I couldn't answer. I remembered what Dylan said earlier and I felt even more guilty.

I looked at him when he hopped down the horse, he was silent, his face looks dark, he looks so angry. Mang Cesar went to him and he immediately handed Colton.

"Pakibalik nalang si Colton, Mang Cesar, aalis na ako."

"Saan ka pupunta hijo? Akala ko hindi ka tutuloy?"

Dylan didn't answer. He just shrugged. I was waiting for him to atleast glance at me before leaving but he never looked my way again.

I sighed. I couldn't do anything but just watch him walk away. I felt the familiar twinge of pain in my chest. A memory of Xian leaving me, turning his back on me suddenly replayed in my mind. I bit my lower lip so hard so I can focus on the physical pain instead of the one piercing through my heart.

"Miss Armie.." Corine called that made me look at her.

I smiled at her sadly. I hopped down from Celeste and saw Mang Cesar watching me curiously. I smiled at him too.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble. I'll go back to my room now, I want to rest. Please take care of Celeste."

I didn't wait for their reactions anymore, I just turned around so I can go back to the house and lock myself up in my room.

I cried so hard. I'm not sure of how he feels right now, disappointed, maybe. After giving me his time, after showing me that he cares, I still pushed him away, all because of a selfish reason, because I don't want to get hurt. I'm starting to like him more than a friend and because of the fear of getting hurt again, of being left out again, here I am making him leave.

And after what I heard earlier, I lost hope that he will feel the same. He can't like me more than a friend, there's someone precious to him. I'm just a friend he's worried about, I'm just a problem he needs to take care of. That hurts even more, so I have to do something to stop getting hurt more than this, I need to do something or I will end up going back to square one again.

I don't want to lose myself anymore. I'm still trying to heal, I can't afford to stab myself more. I choose my peace, I choose my healing.

I cried so hard I didn't know I fell asleep. It's already dark outside when I woke up, a sign that the day is almost over, and that Dylan is already gone.

He didn't say goodbye. He just left. I know I told him to leave, he did what I wanted. But it still hurts.

I heaved out a sigh. I forced myself to get up and take a bath so I can go out for dinner. I don't want to stay in my room and think about him all night, but I know it will take me a while to move on from it.

"Umalis na po si Sir Dylan, hindi niya na po kayo ginising." Corine said while she's watching me eat.

I smiled and nodded. The way she looks at me right now says that she has so many questions in her mind but she's trying to respect my silence.
