One Rainy Day ( COMPLETED )

Thunderstorms

Please wake me up.

This is not real, right? Caleb would never hurt me. He promised to stay by my side no matter what. Matatapos din 'to then he'll apologies and assure na hindi na 'to mauulit.

Hold on Alora, okay? You'll get through this.

I looked at him and smiled sadly. I calmed myself and stopped my lips from trembling before I spoke.

"Caleb it's not me-"

He approached me. I could feel his anger and pain while looking at his eyes. I tried taking his hand but he avoided it.

"S-si Stepha-"

"WAG MONG IDAMAY SI STEPHANIE! WAG MONG BALIKTARIN AT IPASA SA KANYA LAHAT NG KASALANAN MO! YOU RUINNED EVERYTHING!"
a tear dropped in my eyes

"STOP MAKING US BELIEVE IN YOUR LIES!! ALAM KONG MABAIT KA, PERO ALAM MO ANONG TINGIN KO SAYO NGAYON?? A CRIMINAL! YOU MADE ME LOOK SO DUMB ALL THIS TIME??" He said and disbelief was written all over his face.

"PINANIWALA MO AKO NA MABUTI KANG TAO!!"
I gulped and my eyes begin to become blurry with tears again.

It'll be okay.....

Magiging okay pa nga ba?

I looked at my friends.

Wyn starred at me and mouted the words ' why?'.
I looked at Avie but she just looked away and cried silently.
Brittany was also crying hard while Dave was trying his best not to break down and console his wife.

My friends... Do they think of me as someone bad too? that's when the pain sunk in me. I opened my mouth but no words escaped. All I could do was cry.

what's happening?

" I REGRET LOVING AND MEETING A FAKE LIKE YOU!" Caleb angrily said.

I felt billion of thorns in my heart. Pakiramdam ko ang hina hina ko. I was shaking and sobbing. I can hardly spit out a word. F*ck this mistreatment

"C-can I speak now? Caleb hear me out this one last time, a-after this I promise not to disturb y-you all with your lives. I'll leave and you can a-all erase me permanently." Finally I was able to speak. I can't breathe

" J-just hear me out this last t-time" I said between my sobs.

He looked at me like a stranger. no emotions written on his face. Those eyes, it's not looking at me like how it did for 3 years.

"Fine" he responded.

I gulped and gathered all the strength left in me. I looked at him and stopped myself from shouting.

"I thought you said you love me Caleb? You told me you'd be by my side no matter what, sabi mo I'm your partner in everything diba? pero bakit wala kang tiwala sakin? bakit di mo'ko magawang kampihan o ipagtanggol?"
I tried stopping my tears. I breathed deeply before continuing

"Akala ko mahal mo talaga ako at yun talaga turing mo sakin pero bakit kung maka pagsalita ka parang di moko kilala love? b-bakit ganun?"

I sobbed, i cant fck*ng stop it.

"Sana pinaikli mo nalang. Sana mas pinagdiinin mo pa sa Mukha ko na diring diri ka sa'kin. Sana sinabi mo nalang na sana mamatay ako kase magka pantay lang yung sakit Caleb!"
I shouted in misery.

"OO! SOBRANG SAMA KO! ang sama ko kase palagi nalang akong nandito para sayo. ang sama sama ko dahil ako yung nagsilbing lahat lahat mo. I'm such an evil witch because I tried to understand you even though you're being unreasonable now!"

"Napaka walang hiya ko! Ang sama sama kong tao kase wala akong ibang ginusto kundi mapasaya at suportahan ka! Ang sabi mo sinungaling ako 'di ba? Then yes! Oo napaka sinungaling ko kase right now I keep on telling myself that this situation is something we can easily go through! I'm lying to myself that your love for me is stronger than all these lies!"

I shouted with all the sanity I have left in me. I took a deep breath and looked at my friends, then at Stephanie who's smiling secretly and to the guy I gave my heart to. The guy that made me believe in destiny and magic, the guy who made me feel safe and assured, the only guy who had the power to make me feel this wrecked now.

"I'm a criminal for loving you more than myself" I said and stormed out.

I just wanna get out if this place. I wanna disappear. I was running down the stairs while wiping the tears off my face. I could hear my own sobs filling the area, echoing and consoling me.

Wala na akong pakealam kung malaman man nila ang totoo o hindi. I cant take everything that's happening right now anymore. bumaba na ako sa ground floor. I stopped when I saw the weather tonight

it's raining, hard.

I ran as fast as I can towards my car. I could feel the heavy rain drops in my skin but I couldn't give a care for it. All I want is to stop the storm inside me.

I drove off to my place and went inside my room. I couldn't bring myself to change clothes or dry myself. As soon as I was inside my room I immediately locked the door and fell down on the floor. All I could do was hug my knees
I broke down and cried my heart and pain out.

3rd persons POV

After Alora stormed off, everyone was left there in silence.

Dave picked up Alora's phone and played the recording.
unti unting lumaki ang mata ni Stephanie while holding onto Caleb's arm tighter.
Avie looked stunned and angrily turned to Stephanie. Wyn turned red and ran to Stephanie, pulled her hair and brought her down on the ground.
"Bruha ka!! t*ngina mo, napaka sama mo!"
Wyn shouted while beating her.
Avie and Brittany came to Wyn to stop her. tumayo na sa Wyn at Stephanie.
"Wag mo sayangin energy mo sa ahas na yan Wyn, such a trash!" saad ni Avie.
Brittany walked slowly towards Stephanie and slapped her hard.

"That's for making us hurt our friend! you piece of-"
hindi na natapos ni Brittany ang sasabihin niya when Caleb suddenly ran off down stairs and rode his car papunta sa bahay ni Alora.

That was the moment he knew, he f*cked up

"What have I done. what have I done! damn it!!!' paulit ulit na saad niya habang nagmamaneho. Walang ibang sinisisi si Caleb kung 'di ang sarili niya. All he was thinking at the moment was Alora's face while trying to explain everything to him and all he did was become a jerk.

He was crying hard while driving under the strong rain. The road was blurry because of the rain and his eyesight was also not good dahil sa walang tigil na buhos ng luha niya.

Dahil sa pagmamadali niya hindi niya namalayan na naka red light pala sa intersection road. He didn't care for road rules and was so desperate to go the person he just emotionally destroyed tonight.

He drove as fast as he can till he reached the center of the road.

A big truck was heading his way.

Then suddenly everything went black.
