Good luck, Babe

Summary: Your Xyza's ex, and now she's dating Trevor Valera— confirming your suspicion that she will never accept who she is. Inspired by Good luck, Babe!

It's fine, it's cool
You can say that we are nothing, but you know the truth
And guess I'm the fool
With her arms out like an angel through the car sunroof

It's been a month since Xyza broke up with you over text. You didn't think the girl was that cowardly to face you and tell you the truth but she was. And you remember watching her deny any rumor associated with you.

'Xyza Gula with UST Badminton player Y/n L/n?'

'Xyza Gula and Y/n dating?'

'UST newest gossip: Y/n L/n and Xyza Gula, more than friends?'

It's stupid, really. You knew Xyza was private, so it was normal for her to be denying the rumors. But overtime, it was exhausting. Entering her dorm at ungodly hours, watching her deny your friendship to her friends, pretending you don't exist.

You were used to it— which is a lie. You would get so upset whenever you would see her ignore you for the fourth time in the hallway even though you had the same path to your class and hers.

And you'd also remember her going to you for comfort, telling you how afraid she was coming out to everybody. She doesn't like being scrutinized by the public because of who she was— and you understood that struggle. You knew what it was like being belittled by others for liking girls. But you were never ashamed of loving Xyza.

Xyza was the opposite, it was like you were everything to her but she was also so ashamed going against the Catholic Church rules and dating a girl. She was raised conservatively by her parents, and she supported the LGBTQ+, but she would never really admit out loud she was one.

I don't wanna call it off
But you don't wanna call it love
You only wanna be the one that I call baby

You weren't expecting that Xyza would end your relationship a week after New Years over text, especially when exams were starting. What a way to start your exams, right?

But at the same time, it didn't shock you. After all, she'd laugh and giggle at the rumors with her and Trevor Valera, while she'd keep a stone face when your name was mentioned. It was like you would ruin her entire mood that day when the fans or media would mention you, but when night falls, she's back in your arms, studying for her upcoming recitation while you hum her to sleep.

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars
Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
You can say it's just the way you are
Make a new excuse, another stupid reason
Good luck, babe

Your eye lands on the TikTok on your phone. 'Xyza Gula and Trevor Valera interaction crumbs! 😭 #cute #couple #ust" And you laugh at it. Not because you were jealous, but because you know, deep inside, she knows what she is and she can't embrace it. She can deny every single rumor about the two of you, but she will never be able to deny who she truly is.

And while yes, it had been a month, you were still mad about the entire situation— you also pity the girl. You pity the fact that she has suppressed who she really is so much that she will never be able to know what she truly wants.

Well, good luck, babe!
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
Good luck, babe
Well, good luck, babe!
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

Days have passed and you stood outside the badminton court, sweat dripping on your shirt as you exhaled loudly. It was seven pm and there were no more students left except the student-athletes who had wrapped up— including you.

You watched as the women's volleyball team from the other part of the campus exited the gym. All of them were equally as exhausted as you were, and your eye lands on her, Xyza Gula, who had already been looking at you the second she left.

She stops in her place, hand clenching harder on her bag as she looks at you across the campus. Your face laced with anger and frustration were visible, while hers were filled with guilt. "Oy, Xyza! Galaw galaw na 'te!" Pierre yelled, looking back.

Xyza quickly looks away from you, eyes landing on Pierre. "Opo ate! Wait lang!" She yells, jogging over to her. Pierre looks at her worriedly, and sneaks a glance at where Xyza was once looking and— she spots you, sitting down in your badminton jersey, hair tied, and racket in hand.

And Pierre realized at that moment.

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars
Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
You can say it's just the way you are
Make a new excuse, another stupid reason

You have come to notice that somehow, Xyza will still look at you across the campus, miles away from one another, while not being able to look at you inches apart in the hallway.

I mean— it's to be expected right? But you can't fathom the fact she's still looking at you despite being the one to end your relationship. How do you go from holding her in your arms and her wearing your hoodie every night to looking at one another only across the campus?

When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night
With your head in your hands, you're nothing more than his wife
And when you think about me, all of those years ago
You're standing face to face with "I told you so"
You know I hate to say it, I told you so
You know I hate to say, but I told you so

Her rumors with Trevor have started becoming more true every second. You've seen them flirting in the instagram comments, and while you do want to say you're unbothered by it, you can't. Because she could act like that with Trevor and never once acknowledge you.

And when you look at the reaction to their rumors, it's not any good either. Xyza has been getting the worst comments on how Trevor is way out of her league.

And for once, you don't feel hatred, you don't feel upset, you just feel pity. Because you realize that no matter who Xyza will love, whether you or Trevor, she will never be able to love someone without the scrutiny of the public.

But you can't help her. Because you aren't part of her life anymore. You are nothing but her ex that she was so ashamed of loving. So for now, you'll only be able to say, "Good luck, babe."

A/N:
