What if?

Chapter 7: Reminisce

Getting over someone is really hard. But, Forgetting the person isn't hard..... It's the memories.

All the fun times. All the kilig moments. Just......................gone.

I tried hanging out with Nick and Jasmine for one more time and I left early again.

The next morning, I found Jasmine knocking at my door.

I let her in and we talked about Nick.

"So, What do you think about him?" She said cheerfully.

"He's okay." I said

"Pasado ba sayo?" She added.

I just nodded.

"Why did you leave early?" She asks.

"Paper works" I replied.

She just continued talking about how great Nick is and of course, I couldn't argue. She is inlove with him. Damn it.

After all these months, I thought I moved on and accepted that we can only be bestfriends. Everytime I remember her talking about him is like torturing myself.

As she went out, We said our goodbyes and I said something.

"Jas, Do your best. He's a keeper."

BOOM PLASTIC!

I did something to take my mind off her. I started dating my co-worker, Phoebe.

Phoebe was into me since her first day of work then we started talking, hanging out,going to movies until yun nga, We went dating.

I called Jasmine.

"JAAAS! DOUBLE DATE TAYO THIS WEEKEND!"

"Sige! Saya mo ah!"

"Yes naman!"

"Basta Chris ah! If ever she hurts you or even make you cry. I'll kill her ok? HAHAHA"

Those words shot me dead. She beat my mother to it XD. She cares for me that's all I know.

(Months has passed)

My firm got a really big project and I threw a party for it. I invited every one of my friends. Of course, si Jasmine na rin. To think about it, Di na ako nakakarinig sa kaniya. Me and Phoebe? Still going strong.

The party was a really big success. Everyone saw each other again. Laughing at each other's white hair and reminisce about the past. It felt good to finally see an old friend. The memories just come back. The Memories came back. Memories..... that I shared with her. All those memories that were unforgettable,special and just.. Ugh, gone. Ever since nagkaron siya ng "Nick". Ugh, WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THIS? I HAVE PHOEBE NOW.

Through the night, I was really uneasy. I was finding Jasmine and she wasn't there. I wanna see her again. I didn't bring Phoebe kasi baka maOP lang siya dun. Matatapos na yung party, Wala parin.

to be honest, I would've went away but umasa talaga akong darating siya. So I just waited and waited. nagwait ako to the point na nag goodbye na mga kaibigan ko sakin. so I just went straight home.

While I was walking, I got a text. it was from Jasmine.

My house now

-Jasmine

I went straight there. Knocked at her door.

She was there and threw a party for only the two of us.

"Chris, Congrats!" she said

then she hugged me and said she missed me.

I was shocked. She let me in and we talked about the party.

It was awkward at first but I didn't mind

We talked about our lives. Hindi nabribring up na love life namin. so, I brought up our relationship before and we just laughed about it.

*Awkward Silence.

I broke the ice by saying.

"Thanks Jas."

"Huh?"

"Salamat sa Party!" I said.

"Ah, wala yun!" she replies.

But, there was one question I really wanted to ask.

"Kamusta nga pala kayo ni Nick?"

"Nick? Ah, kami parin" She said.

"Oh....."

*Awkward Silence

"Boring ko magparty" She complains.

"Inuman nalang oh!" I challenged her.

"TARA! PALAKASAN!" She shouts.

"Shhh.. Kalma lang bro." I calmed her down.

We brought out the liquor and drank shots.

one on one.

We got drunk, and yun we had this crazy plan to record everything we said throughout the night.

*Morning

I woke up in a different place. It was Jasmine's place and when I looked at my side. She was there, hugging me. I tapped her and woke her up.

"Good Morning oy!" I said.

She just groans and went back to sleep so I decided to cook breakfast.

"OYYY BANGO NIYAN AH!" she finally woke up.

We ate breakfast and yea we talked again.

"Are you ready?" I said.

"Hmm?" She asks.

"The Recording" I explained.

The recording..... Well, this changed everything.

We were drunk and vulnerable. We drank our hearts out and spoke with it. But....... it was too much.

Too much.
