He isn't my boyfriend. But I love the way he smiles, the way he talks, the way he calls my name, the way he looks at me, the way he laughs, the way we wander around the beach, the way were best friends. And of course, I love the way he loves me.
"Skylette? You.. you're.. you're back." She seems surprised. Aimee used to call me Skylette when we were in high school.
"Anong meron?" Tumingin ako kay Bryle na nakaupo at nakatungo lang.
"Skylette, I know you're mad at me for hurting your best friend. I'm really sorry." Lumapit siya sakin at hinawakan ang kamay ko.
"No Aimee. I'm not mad. I'm just upset sa ginawa mo kay Bryle. Don't apologize to me. Apologize to him." Tinuro ko si Bryle.
"I tried to, but he won't listen." She looks so sad. She turned to Bryle. "Bryle... could you just please hear me out?" She pleased.
"I'm not interested." He looked away. He's so cold.
"Please?" Aimee started to cry.
"Go away." Halatang galit na si Bryle pero kalma pa rin siya magsalita.
"Bryle..."
"I said go away!" This time, napasigaw na si Bryle na ikinagulat namin, kaya umalis na si Aimee wearing a sad face.
Seriously? Is this really happening? Nilapitan ko si Bryle.
"Don't come close to me." he said.
I stopped. Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya.
"Pati ba naman sakin galit ka?"
Pinalo niya yung lamesa sa harap niya.
"YOU! YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I SAW HER TODAY!! KUNG HINDI MO AKO PINILIT NA SUMAMA DITO SA CELEBRATION NA TO, HINDI KO SANA MAKIKITA SI AIMEE!!" he shouted.
I'm surprised. I feel so bad. My tears started to fall.
"I'm sorry. Hindi ko naman alam na nandito siya e." I said while my tears continue to fall down. Kinuha ko yung mga gamit ko and then I walked out.
Umuwi ako sa bahay nang hindi nagpapaalam sa mga kaibigan ko. Sa bahay namin ako umuwi, hindi kila Bryle. May mga gamit pa naman ako dito e. Dito nalang ako matutulog. I'm still crying, still feeling guilty. Nag vibrate yung phone ko, tiningnan ko kung sinong nagtext.

In-airplane mode ko muna dahil ayoko munang makipag usap sa kahit sino.
Nahiga ako sa kama ko, still sobbing. Shucks. Hanggang ngayon ba naman iyakin pa rin ako?
