Recollection

The Lie

I told him everything, from the start of the dream, to where I met this guy named JM.

I even told him what I saw at my house earlier. I saw my father screwing another woman. I shivered when I remembered that bitchy woman moaning. God damn it. My hands began to form a fist remembering, gripping the sheets and saying every single detail to Max. But, I felt thankful that he listened to me.

Why do I even feel comfortable with this guy? I just met him a few days ago, now I'm at his house, lying on his bed and... He's comforting me.

He started to calm me down when he saw tears falling from my eyes. He cupped my face and wiped my tears with his thumb. He looked at me with sad eyes with a sad smile. My grip on the sheets began to loosen. I kept on drowning in his eyes. Those eyes...

"that I fell in love with" --Me

My eyes widened and I closed my mouth shut. Covering my mouth with both my hands.

"Wh-what? You fell in love with what?" --Max

"I-...I'm sorry... It was suppose to stay in my thought bubble... " --Me

I face palmed. What... That's just great Gia... Great... Now he's gonna be more curious.

"Whaaaaat?"-- Max

Maybe it's now or never. I should ask him, I may not know the consequences of my actions but, I really need to know about it....

But wait... Fell in love with? What did I mean? What the... My hand automatically made another facepalm... God damn it...

"Woah, why do you keep doing that?" --Max

"N-Nothing... I..."-- Me

I have to ask him now....

"I need to ask you something." --Me

I looked at him with the most serious face you could ever see. I held the back of his hand. I want to know... I really want to know...

"Yes, Gia?" --Max

Ba-dump

What.. What's wrong with my heart? Why are you beating so fast at this moment of truth? He just... Said my name and I feel like my face is placed in front of an oven. My face is burning hot.

"Ahh- I... Uhh"-- Me

I... I forgot what I was gonna say... What was I gonna ask? I looked down to my legs and covered my face with both my hands.

"Look." --Max

I looked up to see him.

Ba-dump, Ba-dump, Ba-dump

Our lips touched. Both of us surprised. He quickly pulled away. Why does it look so wrong and yet it felt so right?

I saw him blushed a bit as he touched his lips with his index finger.

"Who are you in my life Max?" --Me

I blurted out. I didn't even try to think. I just... Spoke

A tear in my right eye escaped.

Before he spoke, he bit his lip as if he was having second thoughts on what he was supposed to tell me.

I grabbed his hand and held it tight. It looks so wrong yet it felt so right.

"Please Max, tell me. I need to know." --Me

He looked at me with concerned eyes. But, he held my hand like there's no tomorrow.

"I am... Your best friend Gia..."--Max

He looked away when he said that.

Max's POV

It was wrong to bring her here in this house. In OUR house. This was supposed to be me and Gia's dream house.

I couldn't stop myself from seeing her in the hospital. I couldn't stop sneaking in just so I could see her when she was in a coma. I couldn't get her off my mind.

Ever since we broke up. Yes. We're over. She has another boyfriend now. But, whenever she had a problem with her current boyfriend, I was there to comfort her, to be there for her. As if we never actually broke up. Now she's here, in our "suppose to be" room. I felt my heart drop as I remembered everything that has happened between us.

She broke up with me because she couldn't take the problems we had in our relationship anymore. She was tired.

I was devastated about our 'failed' relationship. I gave her my all since she was my first. And the day she ended it all, it's like she ended my life too.

My dreams, my goals, it all goes back to her. She was my everything.

She still is.

But I could never say that out loud for the fear that she would run away from me again. So, as hurtful as it is to pretend that everything I feel is long gone...

I would definitely hide it.

If that would be the only way of protecting her from anyone who is out to get her.

"Max?" -Gia

I snapped out of my thoughts and stared at the beautiful girl in front of me.

I know I needed to distance myself as far as I could, but the feeling of getting hurt by her makes me alive and breathing. She keeps me grounded here on earth.

"S-sorry." - Me

I don't want to see her get hurt again. Never again.

I stared at her and smiled softly.

"Sooooo..." -Gia

She said that and looked at another direction.

"You're my... Best friend right?" -Gia

Is she thinking about the kiss earlier? That sweet taste of her lips I missed. The kiss that I yearned for, for months.

Stop thinking about the kiss and focus on what she's about to say.

"Uh...huh." -Me

I was staring at her again. I missed her. Even though she was the one who broke up with me, I missed her like hell. She was my everything. And she still is.

She blushed when she noticed that I was staring at her for a while. She still is the cutest.

"I'm sorry for looking up earlier." -Gia

I blinked a few times before realizing what she meant. And I blushed too.

"I should be the one apologizing. I didn't know you were gonna look up when I leaned to look at your face."-Me

But I was still glad to accept that accidental kiss.

"Can I... stay here for awhile then? Since, we ARE best friends like you said." -Gia

She smiled, like she was thinking that I'm a great best friend and I'd let her stay here. In fact, that IS what I'm gonna do.

I knew this girl inside and out, she's the best of the best. Right now is not the best time to leave her with her thoughts, she needs someone who will listen and I'm here just to do that.

And it's a mistake to lose her like that. It may hurt to be JUST A BEST FRIEND, but things are better this way.

It's better for me to pretend than to have her hurt. All I want is to protect this precious woman. The woman that I love wholeheartedly.

After all, she is my true love.
