I killed Cara?

Napatawa na lang ako sa naisip ng natatakot sa akin. Ako pa talaga ang pumatay? Ako yung victim. Ako ang nawalan ng career sa ballet. Tapos ako pa din ang pumatay? I was barely living!

Lahat ng barkada noon ni Cara naipakulong pagsapit nila ng legal age. Kaya... sinong magpapadala ng ganitong threat sa akin?

"Do you have any idea what's this message about?" Seryosong tanong ng pulis at sa uri ng tingin n'ya ngayon, para akong may kasalanan.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Isn't it your work to find it out?"

"Ma'am, the message is clearly telling us that you're a murderer."

"Ma'am, the tone of your voice is clearly telling me that you are a accusing an innocent woman like me without an evidence."

Tumayo si Chelsea "You are accusing Luna of a crime?" She laughed sarcastically "Why don't you investigate first?"

"Well, if that's the matter then we have to observe Ma'am for the meantime and investigate further--"

I clapped my hands and smirked at them. "Fine. I know Cara. She's dead. I have all the evidences that I am innocent through a cctv footage. It happened years ago. So I want you to fucking find that stupid stalker trying to scare me rather than accusing a victim without a deeper investigation."

"Luna--"

"I'll send it all via email." Humalukipkip ako sa mga police na namumutla ang mukha. "Now leave because you are ruining my evening."

Patay na si Cara pero hanggang ngayon, minumulto pa din ako. Hindi na nga ako nakakatulog ng maayos dahil sa memories ng pagsirit ng dugo n'ya when she committed suicide in front of me. And here she is again, trying to ruin every spotlight I have.

Why do I have to feel guilty about her death? Dahil ba anak ni Juancho ang dinadala n'ya?

Bakit kahit s'ya ang nagkasala sa akin, ako ang nagbabayad? Ako ang napaparusahan? Because of her insecurity, we all suffered.

"Hindi na ako magdadalawang isip na ipadala ka sa Pilipinas sa lalong madaling panahon. I can't risk your life here."

Chelsea packed all my things and sent me immediately to the Philippines. The mission was just part of the reason but the sole reason was the stalker thingy.

And here I am now, facing the person who hurt me.

Facing the person who keeps on hunting my innocent young heart.

Siguro kung mayroon s'yang ipinagkaiba kay Apollo na D'yos ng mga Griyego, it would be his seriousness. Juancho is way too serious and calm to be Apollo. Nanatiling nakatitig lang din s'ya sa kanyang iniinom na tila ba may malalim na iniisip.

He roamed his eyes and found their way into my stares. Pakiramdam ko, tumigil ang lahat. Na walang ibang tao dito kundi kami lang. Nakatigil ang lahat. Nakatigil lang ako dito... nakatigil pa din. Why does it feel like he is so near yet he is far.

Gaano nga ba katagal na noong huli? Gaano nga ba kabilis ang oras?

Parang dati... we were staring at each other as kids but now, we are two individuals near to each other but the feelings are apart.

We were once just kids.

And thinking about everything that happened makes my heart ache. Maybe for him,  leaving me behind was nothing. For me, it was my downfall.
