Trapped Between Worlds

Chapter 15: More suprises.

"N-no." I stutter. Crap. Why am I stuttering?

"I didn't expect you here."

Oh, please, me neither.

Pinagpapawisan siya. I assume tapos na yung battle. But I see people going out from the venue.

"I'm with someone. It's a favor, actually. Wait, tapos na ba yung battle?"

"And where's that someone?" He said with a raised brow, ignoring my question.

"Here." A familiar voice cuts through.

"Myko." Liam nods toward his direction. "Liam." And Myko did the same.

Crap. Parang something's wrong. Why is the sight of the two of them so uncomfortable?

"Aren't you supposed to be inside?" Myko asked. Irritated?

"I lost. So I decided to go out and chill myself."

And then Myko finally smiled, "You didn't tell me luluwas ka din palang Manila." changing the subject.

"It slipped my mind." he's not smiling back. Oh, crap. Is he mad? "So, you two really survived long distance relationship, huh? I though you were kidding." He said turning to Myko.

"What?" I snapped.

Myko frozed. "Nothing, bes. Let's go." He clenched his jaw and he started grabbing me by hand as we turn away.

"Nice seeing you, Trisha!" Liam shouted.

"Wait. Stop dragging me!" Sabi ko kay Myko. "Seriously? What was that all about?" Oh, yes. I'm irritated.

He's not talking.

"MYKO!" Oh, please help me God!

"You still love him, don't you?"

What? Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. For a moment there, he got me thinking. Is it true? Hindi pa ba ako nakamove on? Mahal ko pa ba siya?

"I'm right." Sabi ni Myko na nakasimangot.

Oh, yes. You're right.

"No. Hindi na."

"Then why are you protesting now?"

"Because he's not doing anything. We're just talking, for Pete's sake!" Kase nakakainis na siya! "And why the sudden walked out scene?"

"I'm just protecting you."

"From what?" I snapped. Oo, galit na ako.

"Him. You see, I know what he's up to."

"And what is that?"

"He wants you back. Real bad."
