Second Chance

Prologue

"Angelique!" Tawag ni Abby, co-model ko.

"Yes dear?" I replied. Medyo nahihilo na ako.

"Let's go home, you're drunk."

"I'm not. I can stand--ouch!" I fell to the ground. Damn my butt hurts.

"Halika na kasi." Then she drag me out of the club to her car.

"Alam mo, you've changed a lot na bes. I know it's because of what happened but please naman, return to the old Angelique. The Angel na-"

"Stop. Calling. Me. Angel. Abby, I'm Angelique." I cut her and said those words through gritted teeth. Nakakainis.

"Okay. I'm sorry. Just don't be late tomorrow. May photoshoot tayo together." She smiled. Haaay this girl.

"Abby, I'm okay now. Don't worry. Naka move on na ako." I smiled.

"Okay, bye Angelique." She waved her hand and nag beso beso kami.

"Bye. Thanks for the ride." I waved back.

By the time I reach my pad. I saw a man sitting er sleeping I guess at the door.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" I exclaimed.

For Pete's sake! The guy who broke my heart into pieces is standing in front of me! He's insane!

"Please. Angel please. Patawarin mo ako. I never meant to hurt you." He kneel in front to me.

I was not surprised though. I love seeing people begging for me especially Lance.

"As much as I love hearing you beg, I'm sorry but it's a no. God! I'll be stupid if I get back on you. Hahaha." I forced a laugh.

"But I'm not stupid, so move your ass out before I call the police." I continued.

"Angel naman oh. Please. Pakinggan mo naman ang paliwanag ko. Pinagsisisihan ko na yun."

"You should think that before you hurted me. You don't deserve a chance. I'm done with you." I tried to pass him but he won't budge.

"Angel, I still love you."

I froze. It feels like my heart is shattering again. Parang bumalik ako three years ago. Hindi ko namalayang naguunahan na pala ang mga luha ko sa pagtulo.

"Leave Lance. Leave now." I said without facing him. To hide my fucking tears as well.

"Angel-"

"I SAID LEAVE! ALING PARTE BA NG SALITANG YUN ANG HINDI MO MAINTINDIHAN HA?! UMALIS KA NA! AYOKO NANG MASAKTAN PA LANCE! PARANG AWA MO NA UMALIS KA NA! LAYUAN MO NA AKO!" I shouted like there's no tomorrow.

"Give me a second chance please." He cried.

I don't care if he's crying in front of me. My heart is numb para ma awa. Maybe it's one of his acting skills lang. Di na ako magpapakatanga ulit.

"Saka ka na humiling niyan pag nabagok ang ulo ko o di kaya namatay." And I pushed him hard so that I can pass and I slam the door when I get inside.

I believe that second chances are useless kasi uulitin lang nila yung pagkakamali nila. Once binigay mo yun para mo na ring binigyan sila ng pagkakataong saktan ka uli.

Dalawang beses na akong nasaktan. Iniwan. Pinaglaruan. Pinagpalit. Pinagmukhang kawawa. Kaya I really keep my walls high. I shouldn't let them do the things they did to me when I was weak.

I run to my bed and cried until I fell I sleep. Hoping that tomorrow this feeling would be gone.
