Don't Look Back

Chapter 13: Family Friend

When I got home I started to do our literature work. I need to start something before I meet with Mr. Leather Jacket. I'll call him that because I still don't know his name.

So, a love story. I went to my study table and got a piece of paper.

How will this story be catchy?

Think Andi. Think.

I draw a big heart at the center of the paper. Heart represents love for some people, including me.

Minutes passed by and still nothing.

Ugh. I can't think. Walang napasok sa utak ko. Ano ba yan! I crumpled the paper that is in front of me.

I mean all I can think about is the memory of Enzo in my head, that moment when we're playing in the park just laughing and laughing. But this is not the right time to think about him. I need to write something. To begin with something.

"Come on Andi" i started writing things that might help me and get me focused.
What about you write the story of you and Enzo.

My brain said in chorus. They are alive again.

Why would I do that?

Because there was something between you and Enzo five years ago. You need to let it all out for you to be free. Said my left brain

Maybe writing it will make you better. My right brain continued

Maybe writing it is not a bad thing.

I started writing down..

It started in a simple smile and everything changes after that. Prince Harvey De Leon and Yna Isabel Cortez, they are very good friends since childhood but there was one problem, prince left Yna, he died. He left her without saying a word.

And that's how the story ended. A good scratch isn't it?

Bitter. My brain again said in chorus

What's the problem?

It is a heartbreaking story. My right brain said

"Not everything ends in a happily ever after." I murmured while fixing my stuffs to get ready for sleep.

I don't want to argue. I'm exhausted. My left brain surrendered

Uhh.. my bed.. I so love you. I hugged my pillow so tight. Tinignan ko din ang bintana ko. Maraming stars. Is he looking at the stars tonight? I smiled and went to sleep. Goodnight Enz.

----------

I went to the playground to see if he's there. May usapan kasi kami na we'll be meeting here.

"ANDSSSSS!!" He ran toward me at ito naman ang ikinatayo ko mula sa swing

"ENZZZZZ!!" i also ran towards him. His smile is big as the sun.

We we're about to hug each other when..

I look at my clock it's just 3am

cuz life's not easy I'm not made out of steel don't forget that I'm human--

Pilit kong inabot ang cellphone ko na nasa tabi ng kama ko.

Who on earth will call 3am in the morning?

Caller: unknown number
The same person who called me in my Art class. Wrong number na naman kaya 'to?

I clicked the green button

"Hello?" A guy from the other line said

I was too sleepy that I didn't had the chance to answer back.
