Chapter 24 - The Truth

Chapter 24

Chris POV

I fell in love with a nerdy girl named Patricia. She was nice, honest and caring. I had a bestfriend named Nathaniel or Nathan for short.

At first, I thought Patricia and Nathan had mutual feelings. So, pinabayaan ko na lang ang pakiramdam ko because I want my bestfriend and the girl I love to be happy together.

Time passes, Patricia changed. She's not a nerd anymore and she didn't care much to her studies. I asked her why, she replies...

"My parents didn't even thinked of me as their child, when I was little my younger sister we're always their center of attention...pinilit kong makakuha madalas ng high grades para mapansin nila ako pero wala pa ring nagbago, they still ignored me. Paborito nila si Paula, so why do I need to keep studying if they will just continue to ignore me!" naiiyak niyang sabi.

"Really, that's too bad..." I sighed. Poor Patricia.

"Paula this, Paula there, Paula here! All I could here is Paula, Paula, Paula! What about Patricia?! I'm your child too!" she said with an obvious tone."Do you even love me?" she ask the sky. She started crying and she suddenly hugged me.

"Patrici-?"

"Please...let me hug you a little longer..." she hug me tighter and I can feel her tears flowing.

"Patricia, even if you think they don't love you, I know that they love you as their child" I gave her a smile.

"Really?" she said while wiping her tears.

"Yes, and I love you too" after I finish saying that sentence, tumingin siya sa akin na gulat. I suddenly cover my mouth with humiliation. I was carried away...

"You love me?"

"I..I-- don't know..." mahina kong sabi.

"Tell me the truth, don't lie"

"Well, yeah...I do"

"Since when?"

"Since half a year ago.." I sighed. Bigla siyang tumahimik, oh no, She started crying again."I'm sorry--I..please don't cry..."

"I feel happy" I was shocked when she say that she is happy.

"What?"

"I feel satisfied, knowing that someone cares and loves me" she wiped her tears as she smiled at me."Because I love you too, Christian"

That's my first mutual love, I started dating Patricia until a month had passed, she broke up with me.

I'm sorry but I can't keep this relationship with you anymore...I'm sorry, let's break up...

I felt hurt like a knife stabbing me on my chest. But I was aware that this relationship will go long.

One day, Patricia came crying to me saying she was rejected and hurt by Nathan. It's actually my fault, You know what I said...?

Get lost!

Because of that she started calling out Nathan's name. I saw a large truck coming. But before I even shout something from my mouth, she was already in the pool of her blood.

I was looking at the sky when I think of my past.

Knock! Knock!

"Sir, nandito na po ang tsaa niyo" it's just Bonita. Pppsshh! "At sila po" tinuro niya ang tatlong tao sa likod niya.

"HA!?" it's them again!"What are you two doing here again?! Scumbags!" Nathan and Diane again. Shit.

"Don't forget about me" I saw a clone-like of Patricia.
