Promises (One Shot)

Promises - Chapter 1

"Remember this Autumn, I'm forever yours, ikaw lang ang mamahalin ko, I will never leave you no matter what. And that's a promise."

"Stupid! Stupid promises!" that's all I could say.

I'm on my balcony, holding the bracelet he gave me over a year ago. i don't even know why I still have this. Why can't I just throw it? Same with this f*cking feelings! Why can't I just let go?

I checked my phone to see what time is it, and to know if I still have time to sleep.

Crap! It's 4:00am. wasn't able to sleep again.

I decided to go inside and laid to my bed thinking I could still take a nap before I go to my new school. 

But I failed. 

"I hate you so much!" I said when I saw the picture on my bed side table. 

"You should have not said that stupid promise if you're not gonna do it anyway!"

There was a couple in that picture. The guy was hugging the girl while kissing her on her cheek, and the girl was hugging him back. The picture tells how happy and in love the girl was with her boyfriend. 

That was the last picture they had, before the guy had gone, and left her... alone.

Tears fell from my eyes, tears I was holding back.

"Well, I tried to live without you

The tears fall from my eyes

I'm alone and I feel empty

God, I'm torn apart inside......"

"Shit! Where's my phone?!" I cursed as I look for my phone.

"Hello." I said with a cold tone.

"Autumn! It's me, Kara. Just wanna ask if you're free tonight? Let's have dinner with friends" 

"I'm busy" i answered shortly.

"But, its been a long time since we had time together, we missed you"

"I said I'm busy, I'll hung up now."

"But ---" I didn't let her finish, she'll just convince me to go. 

Yes, that's what I do, I push them away. After he left.

What can I do? They all just remind me of him. It's not that I don't remember him when they're not around, but at least it helps that I don't see them. I guess.

I even had to get a condo unit of my own and leave the house. That house was also full of memories of him, of us. He was too close with my family as well.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when someone appeared in front of me. 

"Hey! You must be new here, I haven't seen you before." that someone said.

"Obviously. I don't even wear uniform yet." i stopped being friendly.

"Sungit" he whispered, but hell, I'm not deaf. Of course I heard him.

"Excuse me?!" i said while my eyebrow lifted. 

"Nothing. Need help? I can take you to your class. I bet you're not yet familiar with the campus since you're new here." 

"Nah, I can take care of myself." well I actually needed some help, but not from him. I don't like him.

"Oh, I see. Mind if I see your sched?" He got my sched before I could answer, maybe he knew I'm gonna say no. I just rolled my eyes.

"Great! we have same classes together. You know what---" I didn't let him finish.

"Can you just shut up?" he is so irritating. He stopped for a while. Just a while.

"Nice name, Autumn Silvaňez. HALA!" napatingin lahat ng nasa corridor due to his loud voice. Ugh! I hate attention.

"I'm sorry, kanina pa kita kinukulit. But I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Tyrone Vann Del Rosario, and I'll be your blockmate. You can call me Tyrone or Ron. But please don't call me Vann. I hate that name." he said. sobrang daldal.

"Whatever Vann!" makaganti man lang sa pambubwisit nya sa akin. Gusto kong mapangiti because of the change of his facial expression, but pinigilan ko. I don't want him to think that we're good already.

"Fine. You can call me that. Pero ikaw lang ang pwedeng tumawag saken nun."

Seriously? I can't believe this guy, he's getting to my nerves!
