"Jasper, why? Why do you have do this?!" Ella said while wiping her tears

"I'm so sorry Janella..." he said

"Am I not enough? Are you asking for more? Because Jasper, sht I can give my everything... just please, please come back" She said while sobbing

Jasper took a step forward

"Hey.." he said while lifting her chin

".. you are much more Ella. It's just that you are too good for me. I don't deserve you baby, you deserve someone who can watch over you everyday, who can love you at your fullest.." He said while tears are rolling down his rosy cheeks

"Isn't that you, Jasper?"

He chuckled

"No I am not. I am the worst. I don't deserve an angel like you Janella" he said while wiping her tears away using his thumb

"I am no angel" she insist

"Yes you are" he smiled

"Janella, I will pray for you, I'll pray that you'll find the best man for you, because God knows you deserve everything"

"I deserve everything? Then I think I deserve your love too. Because that's all I want Jasper. I want you. I want your heart. Nothing more.."

He was about to talk when someone interrupted

"JASPER!" The loud girl called

Ella was stunned. There, in front of her. The reason why Jasper can't love her. Why Jasper treat her only as a sister. Because in front of her, There's Sophia. The love of life of Jasper

"So...." Sophia trailed off. She doesn't know what to do in this awkward situation

"Uhm.. erm Hi! Janella!" She cheerfully said

Janella laughed a bit

"Haha! You know me?" Ella asked

"Ermm. Yes? Jasper's always talking about you. He loves you because you're like his little sister" Sophia said

"Ohh.." Ella said then looked at Jasper whose looking in the corner

"You only see me as you little sister huh?" Jasper looked at her then nodded

"So that's why you never left me. That's why you always cared for me." Ella said

"you only see me as your family member? I hate it." Ella continued

"Janella, why do you hate it? I love you. I really do.."

"Yeah right Jasper! You love me! Yes! But only as a sister!" Ella shouted

"But still.. I love you"

"More than you love her?" Janella asked while pointing at Sophia

"Woah woah, paano ako nasali dyan?" Sophia said then pouted

"What? Ella bakit ka nakikipagkumpentensiya kay Sophia? I love the both of you in different ways.."

"You love me as your sister. You love her because you love her. She's your one and only. Bec--"

Jasper cut her off

"Ella... You and I were bestfriends for more than years now. But that doesn't change the fact that we are only bestfriends. Wala talaga sa tagal yan Ella. Nasa pinagsamahan. That's why I fell for Sophia. In just a short period of time, she managed to make me smile,laugh everything. I don't know why but I really don't think that we should be together Ella. Yes, pinagkatiwala ka sakin ng family mo but please, please let me love Sophia? Wag mo siyang saktan. Wala siyang kasalanan Ella. Ako. Ako nalang sasalo lahat ng galit mo so please, stop her. Stop us."

Ella can't just stop her tears from falling. She wiped and wiped her tears away but it seems like her tears doesn't want to stop from falling

Jasper looked at her

"Ella.." He said while trying to reach her

"D-Don't pity-y m-me" She said while sobbing " J-just don't"

"Okay.."

Ella looked at Sophia "Okay.."

Then lastly Ella looked at Jasper

"Thank you, Jasper" She said then smiled

Nagsalubong ang kilay ng binata

"For what, Ella?"

"For everything. Thank you for loving me as your sister. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you. Thank you Jasper"

"Why are you saying these?" Jasper laughed " As if you're gonna leave me or something?"

Ella smiled

"What if I will?" She asked

Jasper stopped laughing

"You will never do that. Never"

"Hmm? I will"

"I won't let you Ella. No"

"I'm gonna miss you. So so much" Ella said while tearing up again

He's tears began to roll down his cheeks

"Ella! Stop! No, you are not leaving! No, no please.." He said while sobbing

Ella took a step forward then hugged him. He hugged back

"How can I be able to move on if you're always here by my side? Baka mas lalo lang akong mahulog" She whispered

"No. You can't leave. I can't afford to lose you Janella. You're my source of strength. I can't live without you!" He growled

"Eh? What?" Ella asked

He sighed

"It's you Janella..."

She looked at him with a confused look

"Huh? It's me what?"

"It's you. You're my one and only. It's you that I love not Sophia, but you"

Her eyes widened the she looked at Sophia whose already grinning

"Oh! Haha! We're not together Ella! He's just testing you. He's handsome but he's not my type so don't let him go ha! Laking kawalan niyan bes! I'll go shopping na. So see you guys! Goodluck to the both of you! Ciao!" Sophia said while walking away

"Oh.." Ella said. Hindi niya alam kung ano pa ang kanyang sasabihin sa kanyang nalaman.

"So.." Jasper trailed off

"Let's go Janella?" He smiled

Ella smiled too

"Yeah. Let's gooooo!"
