They were close. So close to each other she felt uneasy. Again.
"Akala ko ba staff ka? Why are you here?" Vielle asked Warren. Annoyed by his presence.
"You'll know later. Just enjoy the concert." Warren answered and smiled at her.
"Kyaaaaaaah! OMG! OMG! She looked at me! Vielle!" Elise squelled beside her. Again. She did a facepalm which made Warren chuckle. He's enjoying her presence. But she didn't. "Hoy! Gumalaw ka naman dyan! Look oh! Were close na sa stage!" Elise scolded her.
She wants to have fun. Sway to the pop music and sing along. But Warren is right beside her, bothered by his presence. Ugh.
Elise started to sing along with the song the girl band was singing. Elise was really enjoying the night. Vielle was enjoying it too, minus the fact that Warren is right beside her. She can feel that Warren is staring at her. Ayaw niyang lumingon. Awkward na naman. She doesn't want that awkwardness again.
Grab me by the hand spin me all around again
Just wanna be locked up in your arms now
And put both of our guards downThe lyrics were like a shout out of her sleeping heart. She wants Warren to woo her but she denies the feelings. It might be awkward.
"Vielle." Warren whispered. Vielle stood still. She can feel his arms going around her little waist. Tatanggalin na sana niya ang kamay nito nang bigla itong magsalita. "Please... can we forget what happen back then? Just this once." He hugged her from the back, protectively. Para bang ayaw siyang pakawalan.
She felt her heart beat faster. She can feel her frozen heart melt because of the warm hug her ex-boyfriend was doing. Yes. Warren is her ex. They were in a relationship for almost six years. Pure happiness and love. There were conflicts, of course, buy they handed it well so they wont broke up.
Until their sixth anniversary came and Warren was no where to be found. Vielle got worried because no one knew where he is.
In a span of six months since the day he was gone, he showed up again like the two of them was not in a relationship for six years. He was okay but he treated Vielle like she never existed. She got hurt because for six months she hoped that there was still an us only to find out that he was not into her anymore.
"Let me go, Warren. Matagal mo nang tinapos kung anong meron tayo noon." Vielle mutter bitterly. Naiinis siya kasi gulong-gulo na siya. It's been a year since he came back and ignored her but here he is again confusing her already confused heart and mind. Stupid thing called love.
"Vielle..." Warren whispered. He wanted to tell her that she is still the one. That he still loves her. Pero natatakot siya. Natatakot siya sa rejection na makukuha niya kay Vielle. "I'm sorry."
"It's too late Warren." Vielle answered and pulled away from him. Tumabi siya kay Elise na hindi napansin ang sagutan nilang dalawa.
Warren let out a sigh and walked away from them. Pumunta siya sa backstage at nakita niya doon ang ilang staff na busy sa pag-aayos ng mga gagamitin ng banda sa susunod nilang performance. He started to pick a dark red guitar with weird tattoo like designs on its body. He started to strum it.
"Don't you know it's forbidden to use someone else's guitar?" A voice called his attetion. He looked up and saw the acoustic guitarist of the band looking at him. She was beautiful but he knew that Vielle is much more beautiful.
"Sorry. Tinotono ko lang." Sagot ni Warren. He handed her guitar and smiled. Just to be nice. "Nice guitar by the way."
"It costs ten thousand hearts." She answered as she tested the guitar. He was left puzzled. She looked at him again. "If you still love her, tell her. It's never too late."
Warren was stunned. Paano niya nalaman? He asked his self. They never met before. Pero kung makapagsalita ito parang alam nito ang sinisigaw ng kanyang puso.
But she's right. Maybe I should tell her. He stood up and went back to where he left Vielle. I still love you, Vielle. I love you.
