Hearing Dan's surname come out of the conversation. My eyes widened, and i quickly turn around.
All i could see was Mia's mom shaking hands with the Reeves family.
Mia's pain was visible through the naked eye.
Me and Mia made eye contact, her eyes showed me how vulnerable she is.
I had to make my plan on courting her faster. Para mapasakin na siya.

"Cal. I'm sorry." she said.
"For what?"
"Just- ... you'll find out in a while."
"O-okay."
"I can't sleep, Cal."
"Gusto mo kantahan kita?"
"Please."
She requested that i sing her a song.
I decided to sing her You'll be safe here by Rico Blanco.
As tears started forming in her eyes, i softly sang.
"Close your eyes, dry your tears. And when nothing seems clear. You'll be safe here. From the sheer weight, of your doubts and fears, Weary hearts. You'll be safe here."
As i sang, her eyes slowly got heavier and heavier so she fell asleep.
I spit out one last sentence before ending the call.
"I love you, Mia."

The next day, i couldn't find a reason to wake up.
Jordyn immediately woke me up since i wouldn't get up.
"Huy! Gumising ka na nga!"
Wala naman akong magawa, may klase din naman ako ngayon.
