{Chapter 14}

"That's a fine speech there Mrs. Sanchez" He said.

"It's ms. I'm not married" I smiled.

"Whoa! So...could I take you home tonight?" He joked and laughed.

"*Laugh* I would love to, but...I got something to do. Something to finish" I said as I looked at Jonathan and smiled gladly.

"Say...ms. Sanchez have you ever been in love? To the sound of it you have" He asked in curiosity.

"Uhmmm...there's no point of denying it. Yes, but I lost track of it. It's been 6 years after all. Many things have changed" I explained.

"So, your still single? Mind if I take you on a date?" He joked again. Your jokes are lame. I don't like it.

"Yes I'm single. And having a boyfriend is beyond my goal. I've been too workaholic these years. Don't have time to do that" I said.

"Ah, that's the reason. Well try to do it. It'll be fun as a heartbreaking promise"

"I've been brokenhearted actually. Says in the story" I said seriously.

"So your telling us, that this story of yours is no other than real life?! Oh my goodness...Lady's and gentlemen, once again, Ms. Amy Sanchez!" He shouted. I smiled, bowed and walked down the stage along with my manager.

"Great, you were great up there" Jonathan greeted. 0_0

"Man, your speech blew minds Amy!" Richan encouraged. 0_0

"Yeah you were good" my manager patted me in the shoulder. 0_0

"OH COME ON, SAY SOMETHING STUPID!" Jonathan shouted that kicked me back in reality. I wasn't really wondering around...it's just that, now that I've said all of it up there...I don't know how to react or what will I say infront of him.

"I will go get some juice" Manager said.

"I'll come with you" Richan followed as they both disappeared in our sight. What the heck?! Your leaving me here with this guy?!

For me not to feel too awkward, I walked to the garden, but before I could...my sandals broke. Why is this happening now?!

I saw Jonathan at the edge of my eyes behind me. I straighten up myself and walked...weirdly.

"*laugh* Your trying to empress me or what?" Jonathan asked as he stood by my side.

"Am not!" I shouted as I took off my sandals and walked barefoot. Curse this day!

"Ok fine. Where are you going anyway?" He asked as a playfully smile lingered in his lips.

"To the garden. I guess I can't now I don't have something on---------whoa!!! Jonathan put me down!!!" I shouted as I slammed his shoulders. Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts......Waaaaaahhhhh!!!! This is a big nightmare!!!!!

"I'll carry you there. Is that fine?" Giving me a piggyback ride?! No way this is FINE!

"N---"

"Let's go" He said as he started to walk with me in his back.

"Jonathan...." I whispered.

"Was it true?" 0_0

"What was true?" I asked. Please don't be about what I said earlier!

"What you said there infront" He said. I buried my face in his back because of embarrassment and as tears started to roll down my cheeks. I'm sorry Jonathan. Sorry if I'll soak your polo up because of my tears.

"Y-Yes. I-I-I wanted to say sorry to you years ago. But what's written in the letter told me it was too late. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry. I should have stopped myself loving you those days. It wouldn't end up like this." I whispered in an awful tone. I hate myself. I'd like to slap myself. If only...if only I stopped myself.

"Your blaming yourself? You remembered what I said in the coffee shop right? I was supposed to be the one to say sorry. So...Amy, after so many years searching and wanting to say sorry to you...I'm sorry from the heart" He said in a soft tone. Searched?

"You...searched for me?" I asked as I looked at his neck.

"Yes. Just to say sorry" He said. I bit my lower lip as the heat took over my cheeks.

"Then...d-do-do-do you still...f-feel the same from th-then?" I asked looking away.

"*laugh* That's not the meaning of what I said..." I suddenly looked at him. So...no hope? Nothing? This is just it? This is the way it would end? No! I don't want this! I don't except this!

"I just wanted to say sorry. That's why I searched for you. Then, your story became a trend, online or not. So, I tried to find where you were. Flew over here and got myself running into you at the coffee shop with a baby in my sight." 0_0

"So you were the jovey guy the little girl said to me?! Your a babysitter?! But wait, where were you before you came here?!" I exclaimed.

"I was in...Switzerland. Long flight right?" 0_0 He crossed all the way just to find me?!

"How about you then? Do you still feel the same?" The question made me shiver for the second time. He stopped on a bench and guided me to sit down. I said thanks but we still stayed quiet.

"Maybe...no?" Lier. You can't deny the fact that you still feel the same from then.

"*laugh* You still amuse me. Not sure of the answer huh?" He asked as he looked up in that stary sky as I bowed my head to see my lap as tears fall down.

"Yes. I'm still not sure. But I guess it's gone. Besides, nothing was gonna change if I still am feeling the same way. No chance right? You didn't feel the same." I said playfully. Trying not to sound awful, and making myself sound happy in anyways. I don't like the topic. I don't want to continue this conversation.

He looked at me as I looked at him suddenly. Then I saw...both of us...crying.

Why was he crying?
