Love Me

Chapter 8-Scared

JD's POV

Aaminin kong na shock talaga ako sa tanong ni Lander, I didn't expect him to ask that question in front of our friends. Alam kong iba ang pinaglalaban nitong kaibigan ko dahil may alam sya, at naiintindihan kong nanghihinayang sila Alen at Patrick dahil malaking kawalan ako sa team.

Lander is my friend even before I transferred in Standford. Magkaibigan na kami simula pa Elementary. Magkaiba man kami ng school ay hindi nawala ang communication namin. Mas dumalas pa ang pagkikita namin nung lumipat ako.

Kaya alam nya ang nangyari sa akin bago ako lumipat.

"Brielle, please understand. You know how much I love basketball."

"No Drake, kung tatanggapin mo ang offer ng Standford mas mawawalan ka ng oras sa akin."

Nahihirapan ako sa sitwasyon ko, mahal na mahal ko si Brielle pero hindi ko rin pwedeng tanggihan ang offer. This is one of my biggest dream, to be a team captain plus the benefits.

"Please, magkikita pa rin naman tayo eh."

"I'll let you choose Drake, basketball or me."

Natigilan ako sa tanong nya,she's letting me choose? Ipagpapalit nya ang two years naming relasyon sa basketball?

"Brielle no, you can't do this to me."

"I can Drake, believe me I can."

Nagtitigan kaming dalawa, napabuntong hininga ako at napayuko. Bakit ang hirap nyang makaintindi?

"We can talk about this Brielle please." Nagmamakaawa ako sa kanya na intindihin nya ang sitwasyon ko.

"You know my situation, I'm trying to prove something to my Dad and to his family. Especially now that I have no one but him."

My Dad was the only one who's been supporting my needs since high school. Everything as in lahat, anak kasi ako sa labas. When my Mom died during my fourth year, Dad told me I'll be leaving with his family. Pero ang asawa nya hindi agad ako matanggap kaya sa Condo ako tumira. Ang gusto kasi ng asawa ni Daddy may mapatunayan muna ako sa sarili. Kaya hindi ko palalampasin ang pagkakataong ‘to.

"Please Brielle, I don't want to loose you. Stay with me please, you know I love you so much." I hug her tight, I just can't let her go.

"Yeah, you love me but not enough. Don't worry, I understand you but I also need to go."

Binaklas nya ang pagka kayakap ko sa kanya, hindi ko napigilang umiyak sa harap nya mismo. Who says boys don't get hurt? Whoever it is, it's a lie cuz right now I can feel the pain and it feels like it's the end of everything.
