Now or Never

PROLOGUE

A loud knock on my door startled me awake. I rolled out of bed and grabbed my phone from my bed side table to check the time.

**7:00 AM**

With a sigh, I headed straight for the door, still rubbing sleep from my eyes. When I opened it, Sienna burst in, her energy almost overwhelming. Unlike me, she was already dressed, her hair wrapped in a towel, wearing a pastel pink tank top and white shorts. I, on the other hand, was in my bear-print pajamas, my hair a chaotic mess.

"What's going on?" I asked. "Why are you up so early?" I shuffled back to my bed, leaving the door open in case she wanted to come inside.

"Don't you remember what day it is?" she asked, stepping in after me.

I furrowed my brow, trying to recall, but nothing came to mind. I shook my head and sat down, but she quickly pulled me up and pushed me toward the bathroom.

She gave me a smirk that sent shivers down my spine. I hurriedly wrapped my towel around myself, feeling vulnerable. She approached, stopping short of entering the bathroom. "Today's the day I'm going to break the casanova's heart!" she said, laughing mischievously.

I rolled my eyes before answering, "Tss. You've been watching too many dramas and reading too many romance novels," I retorted, finally shutting the door.

"Just get ready, B! I really need you tonight for my brother's wedding!" she exclaimed through the door, halting my next move. 

I caught my reflection in the bathroom mirror, realization dawning on me. How could I have forgotten? Today was Sienna's brother's wedding-the first time in five years I'd see him in person after everything that transpired.

Sure, I had told myself I moved on, but going to this wedding felt like opening an old wound.

Kakayanin ko ba?

Tama ba na pumunta ako?

I was only considering going for Sienna, my best friend, my soul sister, my everything. I couldn't let her down, especially since she was the only good thing I gained from that heartbreak.

And she thought I am over it, which is not the case.

As I braced myself for the challenges ahead, I knew I had to confront my feelings and fears for her sake. No matter how painful, I had to face my history.

Ang kailangan ko lang isipin ngayon ay I need this for closure. I will go to this wedding for my closure to whatever happened in the past.

It's NOW or NEVER.
