Chapter 7

A/N: hiii sa inyong lahat na silent readers, i want to hear you 😂👋

Gab's

"We tried to save the relationship, Gab." she said. "Atleast, I did. For the both of us. But it wasn't that easy. I was willing to save what is left, pero ang hirap gawin non."

I look at her, stunned.

She told me everything. EVERYTHING. Even though I didn't ask!

But now I know. I know bakit ganoon ka-desido makuha ni Ice ulit si Claire. Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit pag nagkakamay si Ice at si Chael may mas malalim na tensyon pa sa pagitan nila.

Alam ko na kung bakit nagkakaganoon si Ice. Isang desperado, malungkot and pathetic boy.

Hindi dahil mahal niya si Claire. Hinding hindi dahil doon. Dahil ang trophy niya ay si Claire. Gusto niyang makuha si Claire para magkaroon siya ng abante sa kapatid niya, para magkaroon siya ng isang bagay na wala ang kapatid niya.

This is so messed up and I have voluntarily given myself into this without knowing.

I'm so stupid.

I thought Ice was kind, a gentleman, a boy with a good life. But he's so messed up like I was. Like I am.

I remembered Jacob, the way he was so sweet at first. The way he shows me to his friends like I'm some kind of a toy to him. The way he calls me everyday because of his problems.

We are not perfect. We are not real. He didn't love him. I didn't love him.

But somehow, it matters and it hurts.

"I'm sorry." sabi ko kay Claire. "I-I'm sorry, I should go."

Tumayo agad ako bago niya pa ako pigilan. Lumabas ako sa salon at nagdire-diretso sa way papunta sa nipa hut ko.

After all I knew, I can't stop thinking that Claire is such a lucky girl. Two boys, two brothers fighting for one girl.

But hell, that's not easy. You have to break one heart. Hindi mo maiiwasan.

Tuloy tuloy lang akong naglakad papunta sa nipa hut ko. Papasok na sana ako ng narinig ko ang isang pamilyar na boses.

"Gabriela." he breaths.

I stop. I drop my hands to my sides and I turn around.

Ice is infront of his door. He just stood up like he's waiting for someone.

His hair is messy, the dark circles under his eyes are much more noticable.

"Hey." is all what I managed to say.

I know your story. I know who you are. I finally know why they call you Ice. Because you're not just cool. You're cold-hearted-- is what I don't say.

Lumapit siya sakin, three steps towards me. If he would reach out, he could hold my hand.

This is the time to act. Now.

"You know, Ice, I'm really sorry about what happened to you and Claire." tuloy tuloy na sabi ko, hindi na ko nagiisip. "But I told her we broke up. I guess, I'm done with all of this." I motion my hands in the air.

Really, Gab? Really?

I just want to go home and climb to my bed and pretended that I never left. Pretended that I'm still the old Gab I was. Cause I miss her. I miss her so much.

Akala ko hindi ako maapektuhan nito. Akala ko magiging okay ako. But this boy infront of me, I just can't believe that he's this............. sad. And somehow, naapektuhan din ako.

I also want my real vacation back. I want to be wasted every night, I want to party all day, I want to stay up all night. Not like this. Trapped between Chael and Claire and Ice.

"Naiintindihan ko." sabi ni Ice. Napabuntong-hininga siya at hinawi niya ang buhok niya papalikod. He looks at me. "I understand and that's why I'm here. I'm calling this arrangement off."

"Good." sabi ko.

"Good." sabi din niya.

But no one turn. No one backs out. No one says good bye. Instead we stare at each other.

I known this guy for a couple of weeks, I heard him sing twice, and yet and yet and yet and yet I understand where he's coming from. Like I know him all my life.

I realize na hindi lang ako ang nasasaktan sa mundo. Na pati rin siya. After what happened to him, after his brother probably stole his girl.

But there are two sides to be blamed for one problem.

One for Chael.
One for Ice.

"Ahmmmm, thank you for the friendship." sabi ko dahil wala lang akong masabi.

He smiles. "It doesn't have to end like this you know, we could still be friends."

I laugh. "That would be awkward if I'm friends with my ex." I joke.

He smiles again, wider this time. "Yea." biglang sabi niya.

"I guess, I'll just see you around." sabi ko.

"Yea, I'll just see you around."

And then I turn at pumasok na sa nipa hut ko.

I didn't even bother to look back.
