Chapter 26: Not All

Chapter 26: Not All

Author's note: Hello everyone. I'm really sorry for the super delayed update. I'm back in updating this story because I have the motivation to finish this (thanks to all of your beautiful comments).

I slept really late after I hung up the phone after I talked to Tony. I don't know why but I think it's all about what he said and what he did. I have a class tomorrow but I'm going to be fine because I think we don't have a quiz.

"Hey? What's up? You look so sleepy the entire day." Ariana said as she was putting all her things in her bag.

"I just read.."

"and think about him the whole night." She said while grinning. She really knew me well.

" Yeah.. It's just that he is so mysterious the more I get to know him. I don't know." I said while shaking my head.

"Then you need to do some research." She said.

"Yeah. I guess!.." I said while yawning. I really need some sleep.

"Anyways, I gotta go. I still need to attend my piano lessons before the rain get me. You should get going too." She said while hurrying towards the door.

I was the only one left inside the room. I guess everyone is afraid of rain. It's very quiet and peaceful. I glanced at my watch, now quarter to 6. I don't want to go home. I need some time to be alone and since I am so sleepy, I rest my head into my desk and drifted into the word of dreams.

I was walking alone in the pouring rain. I'm soaked and cold. I looked around and I'm alone in a very familiar road. Right, the road to Marvelous. But how did I get here? Suddenly, two couple were walked passed through me sharing the same umbrella together. I recognized them very well. They were Albert and Genelyn. I kept calling them but they were not listening. I shouted at the top of my voice until the two of them stooped and turned back to face me. But instead of helping me, they were laughing really hard at me and then continued walked as if nothing happed. They're so rude. I felt myself starting to cry so I cried and cried. I just sat on the road. I don't care if I die, if a car hit me. All I know was I felt so miserable. I closed my eyes until I felt like the rain stopped. I opened my eyes and someone had given me an umbrella. I turned and see Tony smiling at me. I immediately hugged him tightly, not letting him go as I continued sobbing. I looked at him and he smiled his heavenly smile.

"Hey. Wake up." Someone tapped my shoulder and I was awake. I wonder what my dream meant. But whatever it is, I don't believe in dream prophecy.

"Huh?" I said as I was back to my senses. I looked at the one who woke me up and it was Albert. "What are you doing here?" I asked him who was sitting next to me.

"I woke you up. You were sobbing." He said while staring at me intently.

"Really? I just had a bad dream. That's all." I asked while I looked around and glanced at my wrist watch.

"It's already 7:30." He said. It was as if he read my mind.

"Oh no. Mom is going to kill me." I said as I shook my head and then get my bag. But it seemed like chance wanted me to stay because it thundered! What the.. I hate this life. I immediately covered my ears and soon enough the rain started pouring. Seriously? I looked at Albert who smiled like he commanded the rain to come so that he can have a chance to talk to me because I have been avoiding him as much as possible.

"Can we talk?" he asked but his voice is louder than his usual voice because of the noise coming from the rain. He seemed so determined to talk to me it's like it's a matter of life and death. We are over. He ended it. I'm with Tony and he's with Genelyn so I don't get why he needed to talk to me.

"I really have to go. My parents are surely..." I stood up but he held my hand and pressed it really hard. He also stood up so we were facing each other. He's moving closer and closer and grabbed me into a tight hug and whispered "I missed you. I missed you a lot." And I was unable to think and unable to move. I can't think...I can't breathe and I.......am........going......to........die.. Our memories flashed back like a film and I immediately pull away from his hug. What if someone will see us? What will people think of me?

"You need stop this." I said to him as he looked me in the eyes and he seemed confused about it.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"You need to stop everything that you're doing that makes me feel like you still love me. We are done. You were the one who ended it. You shouldn't be saying that."

"I can't stop because I still love you. I was wrong to let you go. Very wrong. Can you please take me back? " he begged.

"What about Genelyn? Did you ever consider her feelings? Huh?" I asked

"Don't mind her. She's just... Just take me back ..please. I know I have not been a very good boyfriend but just this once, let me prove that I am not what you think"

"I have already given you plenty of chances but you didn't do anything." I said. You should had asked me when I was still longing for you.

"Just once, please believe me."

"How about Genelyn?" I said. My heart was beating faster than ever before.

"What about her? I broke up with her so that we could be together."

"No! That's... unfair."

"You know who's unfair? You! You just give up on our love easily. You didn't fight for me."

"What? Let me remind you that you courted Genelyn, therefore, you were having an affair while our relationship is going on because a week after you dumped, you already replaced me with Genelyn." I can't believe I'm saying this to him.

"That was a mistake. A very big mistake. I wish I haven't met her."

"You need to face the consequences of your actions." I said. This conversation is going nowhere.

"But I don't; want to be a father." He blurted. WHAT ? Let me process this information. Genelyn is pregnant. The rumor is true. Oh my God.

"She's pregnant? How could you? Oh my God!" I said as I keep on shaking my head. This is not right. This is not true. No! this is not happening. Why am I so affected?

"Things happen. We're drunk and we just lose our sense of control. That's all. " he explained as if he was not interested

"But..."

"Ash. I love you and will always love you."  

And I didn't know how to respond to that.

Author's note: ( I know, there's too many).
