Selena POV

"Selena Maria Gomez, I hope you listen to the message of the song because this is for you." May nagsalita sa speak ng school at pagkatapos nun magsalita biglang may tumunog habang unti-unting bumubukas ang kurtina.

"Elevator buttons and morning air, stranger's silence makes me wanna take the stairs. If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares but right now, my time is theirs." Isang lalaki ang kumakanta sa harapan ko na nakatungtong sa stage at si Nicolai iyon. Hawak niya ang isang microphone habang ang iba niyang kaibigan ay tumutugtog ng instruments.

"Seems like there's always someone who disapproves, they'll judge it like they know about me and you. And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do, the jury's out, but my choice is you." Patuloy niya sa pagkanta.

Tama siya, maraming may ayaw sa relasyon namin. Hinuhusgahan kami na parang kilalang kilala nila kami.

"So don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours." Kanta niya habang bumababa siya ng stage at ito namang pinsan ko ay tinulak ako papunta kung nasaan si Nicolai, ngumiti naman siya sa akin at hindi ko kayang hindi ibalik yung ngiting iyon.

"You never know what people have up their sleeves. Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me. Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles but I don't care 'cause right now you're mine." Hinawakan niya yung kamay ko na parang parte ito niya ito.

Kung sabagay parte naman niya ako at palgi akong magiging parte niya, hindi na magbabago iyon.

"And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard. The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours." Hinatak niya ako papunta sa stage kung saan nandoon ang mga kaibigan niya na tumutugtog ng instrument at sumunod ako sa kanya na walang alinlangan. Todo effort ang ginawa niya para mapatawad ko lang siya.

"And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you." May tinuro siya sa harapan namin at may malaking projector doon na may mga wacky pictures ko na kinunan niya noong kami pa.

"'Cause I love the gap between your teeth and I love the riddle that you speak. And any snide remarks from my mother about your tattoos will be ignored. 'Cause my heart is yours." Sa eksakto ng pagkasabi niya nung last line ay yung picture niya ay lumabas sa projector habang yung kamay niya ay naka-form ng heart.

Hindi ko alam paano niya na may tattoo ako at meron nga akong awang sa pagitan ng ngipin ko pero noon pa yun yung bata pa ako. Hindi ko napansin na umiiyak na ako ng punasan lang ni Nicolai yung mga ito.

"So don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine and life makes love look hard. And don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine but they can't take what's ours, they can't take what's ours. The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours" Nang natapos yung kanta ay patuloy pa rin ako sa pag-iyak. Kahit Malabo na yung paningin ko dahil sa pag-iyak ko nakita ko pa rin na bumaba yung mga kaibigan ni Nicolai.

Hinawakan naman ulit ni Nicolai yung kamay ko at hinalikan niya ako bago niya ako abutan ng isa sa pinaka-paborito kong bulaklak. Inamoy ko ito dahil gusto ko talaga ang lilac, bago ko lang kasi ito nagustuhan.
