"Lorraine, look at me!" Narinig kong sigaw ni Jacob sa aking likuran.

Ayaw kong lumingon dahil alam kong bibigay lang ako, hindi ko kayang mag-panggap na okay lang ako. Na maayos lang ang lahat matapos ang mga nangyari.

"Lorraine, please. Talk to me, ayaw ko ng ganito tayo." Nahimigan ko ang lungkot at pagod sa boses niya ngunit hindi pa rin ako lumilingon patuloy lang akong naglalakad papunta sa elevator.

Please, Jacob. Kapag pinilit pa natin ito ay parehas lang tayong mahihirapan, oo mahal kita pero kung ganito lang ang mangyayari kapag ipinagpatuloy natin ito ay alam kong hindi magiging maganda ang resulta.

Pumasok ako sa elavator at mabilis na pinindot ang close button, kaunti na lang at makakasunod na si Jacob kaya mas mabilis pa ang naging pindot ko duon sa button.

"Lorraine!" Napapitlag ako ng pigilan niya ang pagsara ng elevator gamit ang kaniyang kamay.

Napalunok na lang ako at saka nagkunwaring hindi siya nakikita pero taliwas sa inaasahan ko ang naging reaksiyon ko ng he pin me on the wall.

Kumabog ng malakas ang tibok ng puso ko, damn, I hate the fact that I'm in love with this man. But this love can ruin our lives, I'd better set aside my feelings.

"You will look at me the way you look at me before, Lorraine. I'm damn fucking crazy in love with you that's why I still hold you, just don't leave me," he said seriously and lift my chin using his right hand.

"Don't force me, Jacob. We're done. Our feelings are not mutual, so, please leave me alone." I lied and tries to look away.

My heart sank when I saw how he was devastated by just staring into his eyes. I want to shout that I'd love him too but the pain in my heart is just too much to carry.

He shook his head and bite his lips, trying to stop to show his emotion.

"No, don't say that easily. You're not sure about it Lori, but I'm sure about how I feel towards you. Please come back to my arms again, I want you to come back." He said while his tears are falling down his cheeks.

We're both hurting just because we let ourselves fall in love, even though we know what will be the result.

"Don't try to govern me again, Jacob. I'm tired of it, I'm tired of this setup and I'm tired of your stupid feelings," I lied on the second time about how I truly feel.

The pain was visible in his expression, I don't want to blame him for what happened but his relatives are involved in my pain before, now, or in the future.

"I'm not trying to govern you, Lorraine. I-I just want us to be together again." He said.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"No, Jacob. I'm no longer your pet, I'm no longer a teacher's pet." I said while holding my tears.

I don't want him to see what I truly feel, I'm scared that I messed up again.

"Are you sure?" He said while staring into my eyes seriously.

I bravely stared back. "Yes, I'm one hundred percent sure."

After I said that the elevator opened and I saw Lucas waiting in his car, he immediately stand when he saw me.

Thank God I texted him earlier, I want to cry and throw out all of my concerns to him right now.

When Jacob saw Lucas, his jaw tightened but he chose to let me go.

I immediately get in Lucas's car, he saw my situation that's why he drove away. I saw in the rearview mirror how sad Jacob was.

I'm scared that I'm not ready to admit that, I'm still a Teacher's Pet.
