I Can't Make You Love Me

Chapter VI - Masochism

"Hey! Caths!" I was brought back to reality when someone called my name. I raised my head and saw them. Oh. It was Hes who called me. 

"Yeah?" I asked her. 

"Wow. The great Catherine Aphrodite Steele is back on earth." Dem said, and all of a sudden Hes was clapping very slowly while cocking her head sidewards. I rolled my eyes at her. Nyx, was just there. Staring at me. 

"Where's Selene?" I asked them ignoring their act. I'm not in the mood. I think I need someone to talk to. I want to talk to Selene. 

"Probably playing dead." Hes said smiling. 

"Oh~ scratch that. She's probably dead." Dem corrected Hes.

"Catherine. Are you alright? What's bugging you?" Nyx asked me. There was a hint of seriousness in her voice. Eventually, the two has already stopped their argument about Selene, if she was just playing dead, or just mere dead. 

"Honestly, I'm not." I paused. "Eros haven't talked to me for, a week or two, I guess? He's been ignoring me even. At kahit anong isip na gawin ko, still, I can't find the reason for him to act that way. Ang labo niya." I ranted as I massaged the side of my head. 

"Ayan. Eh di lumabas din ang katotohanan." Dem said then sat beside me. "Ang ating pinuno ay may problema pala sa lovelife." She continued. 

"Caths. Paano ba ang naging huli niyong tagpo? Nag-away ba kayo? Physical? Mental? Emotional? What?!" 

"Ah! Hestia Marie! You don't have to shout! Damn it!" I said while glaring at her. She just gave me a peace sign while hiding at Nyx's back. 

"You two, just leave Caths alone. She's been like that for a week now." Nyx was saying that while looking at me. Then she shifted her attention to the girls. "At kayo? Wala ba kayong klase? Alis na. Alis!" At pinagtabuyan na niya yung dalawa. I'm really thankful that Nyx's here. Baka nabaliw na ko kung patuloy pa din akong kinulit nung dalawa. 

"Aphrodite. Get yourself back in track. You look like a mess." Nyx told me before plugging her earphones. 

Am I really a mess for the past week? Well, if there was someone to blame for my idiotic act, that someone would be Eros. 

He has been ignoring me for God knows why? I really don't know. It all started when I saved him from the almighty gangsters slash goons. 

Ugh! Eros! Pick up the phone! My inner bitch was really bitching around. She doesn't like what she's experiencing. 

After a few more rings for my nth call, he finally picked it up. 

"Eros!" I called his name out. 

"asdfghjkl" Huh? What the-- 

*toot toot* 

My eyes grew in surprise. D-did he just hang up on me?! I stared at my phone with disbelief. 

And more importantly. 

WHO'S THE BITCH THAT OWNS THAT VOICE?! 

Okay. I was pacing back and forth. My God, Eros?! Where the hell are you and what have you been up to?! And who's that bitch?! Ugggh! I am so frustrated righ now. 

All I wanted was to just talk to him. I want to clear the dark clouds upon us. He can't possibly just ignore me for no reason right? Is that too much to ask?
