Reena's POV

I woke up in bed with someone. He's on top of me, his arms wrapped around my waist, and I can't nearly breathe. It's dark already but I immediately recognize his scent and I have missed it. God knows how much I miss him. But this is not right. But it feels so right. We're not even together anymore.

I reach for the lamp on the bedside table, careful not to wake him. I really try and reach a little bit higher pero masyado atang malayo. And I can already feel him getting off of me. Alam kong gising na din siya.

I still have a headache pero hindi na ako nahihilo pero hindi pa rin natanggal yung sakit sa may bandang tiyan ko na hindi ko mahanap kung saan ba talaga.

When he's finally removed his arms around me, I got up and put the lights on.

He's still laid down on bed, his back facing me. Ngayon, ayaw na niya akong harapin when he just fell asleep on the same bed as me and I even had no idea that he did. Hindi ko namalayang tumabi siya sa 'kin.

Oh well, it doesn't matter naman eh. Wala namang magbabago. He said it himself. It won't work out, for him at least.

Pero bago pa ako maging sentimental, I have to go home na din since it's getting late.

I was walking towards the door when he talked.

"Are you still leaving?" He asks me. Humarap ako sa kanya. Nakaupo na lang siya sa kama ngayon pero nakatalikod pa rin siya sa 'kin.

"I'm leaving now." I shrug.

"That's not what I meant." He says and it dawns on me.

Oh. Right.

"Yes. I am still leaving."

"When?" Why is he even asking me this?

"In less than a month." I sighed.

I heard him mutter something and I'm pretty sure that's his way of cursing me out.

He stood up and faced me.

How could he look like he's so tired in just a few days? Hindi ba siya natutulog?

"Bakit ba kasi ang tigas mo Reena? Why can't you just be with me and stay here?" He asks me.

"Kev, we already talked about this. And I don't have the energy para makipag argue na naman sayo. You already ended things with me."

He scoffed, "You were the one who ended things with me."

I close my eyes in frustration.

"Kevin, please. Ayoko ng makipagtalo sayo. Kaya pwede ba?" I turned my back on him and walked towards the door.

"Suit yourself. This relationship isn't even worth trying." Napalingon ako sa kanya dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Wow. How could you even say that?" He's unbelievable.

"It's not even worth anything. I won't give a damn about this anymore. I'm going." He said as he immediately walked out the door without even looking at me. He wasn't even doubting, was he? It hurts that he even got the guts to say those things. It doesn't even matter for him if it would hurt me or not masabi niya lang kung anong gusto niyang sabihin. Some things never change, Kev.

Umalis na rin ako after he left. Nagpaalam lang ako sa kanila tapos hinatid na ako ni Carlo sa condo ko. And I'm still not feeling well kaya natulog ako agad pagkarating ko ng bahay.

I woke up by the sound of my phone ringing. Nung tignan ko, si Bry. I decided to answer it. Bihira kasi tumawag sakin tong ulupong na to eh. Actually, ngayon nga lang.
