Building The Unsure (Glow-Up Series #2)

46

A/N: I suggest to start playing the song when Lory and Sam reached Thiago's house and put it on loop.

TW: Physical Abuse

"Can I say something?" Sam seriously said, I even saw his hand turn into a fist but I brush it away and just nod. 

He bitterly chuckled, "That's rubbish." he said and a chuckle escaped my lips, I was about to say something when he speak again. 

"That wasn't a question, miss Valdez, don't even say yes or no. That was a statement." he sternly said and another chuckle escaped my lips. He just used my line. 

He pick up his drink and took a sip before letting out a sigh, "Louise, he IS  the father. Why would you run away and suffer on your own!? Bakit ka aalis?! You should tell him!" he exclaimed before putting his drink down and crossing his arms once again. 

I let out a sigh, "I told you, I can't tell him or else--"

"Or else he will drop-out of school! LET HIM BE!! He's doing efforts for you and the child!" Napatingin ako sa paligid nang napasigaw ito, he realized what he have done and apologized to other customers. 

"Louise," he put his fist near his mouth. 

He lean closer to me, "Try thinking about what he would feel if you leave, with his child pa! Na hindi niya alam na may anak na pala siya. Think about it!" he whispered shouted, I played with the tissue and took a deep breath. 

"I already did, he will feel sad and upset, of course--"

"Malamang," 

I shook my head, "Pero I'm doing this for him. Babalik din naman ako, eh. Kapag nakatapos na siya ng pag-aaral at handa na ako." I explained and he stared at me with lines on his forehead. 

He lean back and let out a hiss, "And how sure are you that he still loves you once you come back? How sure are you that he's still single and will accept you and his child? Would he even forgive you?" he sternly asked, I bit my lower lip and lower down my head. 

"You will look after him for me." I mumbled and I heard him scoff. 

He didn't utter any word for few seconds before letting out a sigh, "Louise, I'm a man and... and honestly, if I am in his shoes, my girl leaving me without a reason then coming back after years with a child, telling me it's mine? I can't guarantee that I'm still the same person you left. That's why I can't promise you that I can make sure he won't be finding a new girl to replace you." he said, I swallowed the lump in my throat and lift my head up. 

"But you will try, right?" I asked and his lips parted, "So you're really gonna do it? Running away with his kid? At least let him know!-"

"I told you I can't! He would leave everything behind--"
