•Your POV•

"So, do you want to, like go back to him and ditch Abel in a friendly way?" Feliks asked.

"Feliks, no-"

"God, call me Poland! I didn't give you permission to call me Feliks," He smirked and continued to eat more junk food.

"Fine... Poland, it's not about that. I want to be more focused on Abel. I want to apologize to Alfred in a friendly way, a heartwarming kind of apology. After all, he is-"

"Suicidal?" He looked at me with a laugh as I kept my mouth wide open from shock. "Look, everyone knew that. The time you left because of us, he had thoughts of suicide. That's why we, like forgave you so you could come back."

Plot twist.

"I-I... Never knew that..." I stuttered felt really bad, clenching on the the hem of my clothes.

"You had your chance," He sighed and munched on a potato chip.

"I know..." I placed my hand on my forehead, feeling really bad.

"I'll still be offering my help, though." He smiled softly. That's the smile.

I know that smile. That's a sign of willingness to help me out of friendship and pity. I tell ya, Felik-... I mean, Poland might seem like a snob at first, but he's a nice person. Trust me!

I looked up at him and whipped up a smile, "Where do we begin?"

•Alfred's POV•

"BASTARDO! Hindi ka talaga marunong na magmahal (1)! Why did you let her go if you still love her!?" Piri shouted at me, this time throwing rice at me.

"Stop throwing things at me!" I whined and slapped the rice of my face.

"O. M. G!! Lord Patawad (2)! I didn't mean to throw the rice!" She kneeled down and started praying for the rice. "Santa Maria, ina ng Diyos, ipatawad mo ako (3)-"

"Maria, I'm serious!" I fumed, "Look, I'm sorry if I'm being impatient, but I need to apologize to her as soon as I can so this guilt could go away."

"Fine, fine. What's the prob?" She sat back down on her seat and got her coconut juice (rather referred to as buko juice).

"I still love her, but I just... Don't know how to tell her, alright? I'm not as confident as you think. My ego kind of just disappeared... I guess..." I said my stupid explanation.

"Then do it," She bluntly said.

"Wait, what?" I perked. Just tell her?

"Yeah. Just surprise her and tell her! Tanga (3)..." She insulted me.

"How?"

"Pabayaan mo na iyan sa akin (5)," She smirked... Though, I didn't understand her...

"Huh? I don't underst-"

"UGGHH!!" She groaned.

I walked in front of the radio industry building and just basically waited. I walked back and forth and back and forth and repeated, doing it all over again.

Maria gave me tips and helped me memorized a script, she just told me to translate it in my own words though.

God I'm sweating. Like, really hard. Totally not nervous, it's all gonna be fine! A-okay! Right?!

I stop walking and looked to my side, which was the door of the building...

•Author's POV•

Alfred stopped walking around, putting his hands in the pockets of his red hoodie. He calmed down and looked at the person standing right in front of the door.

"Hi..." He whispered breathlessly.

"Hello..." (Y/n) answered the same way.

"(Y/n), I'm sorry for everything and just tricking you like that, but everything's going to be fine if you forgive me. I want to-"

"Before you get cheesy," She shushed him with her finger, "I also want you to know that I forgive you."

His face lit up, "Thank you," He smiled softly.

"Let's be friends again?" She held his hand and let her thumb just rub it. When he heard these words, his eyes grew wide and just stood there paralyzed.

"Y-Yeah! Yeah, sure! I'd like that..."

"Hey, I'm going to be more focused on Abel, you're gonna be focused with that new girl you like, okay? I'm going to be the godmother of the child, if you don't mind." She laughed and Alfred strained himself to laugh as well.

"Well... I'll see ya later?" Alfred grinned at her and waved off.

"Yeah... See you later..." She smiled and waved off as well.

They both went to their separate ways and continued on.

But what Alfred didn't know was that while she was walking away from his atmosphere, she broke down crying.

"So fucking stupid!" She sobbed, she hit her head each time she said a word.

We all know what they both want... And we know that they're going to find ways just to see each other again...

Even if it takes a million more times...

WAIT.

Didn't I say Alfred F. Jones was suicidal?

To Be Continued...
