Love Hope In Batanes

Questions

Amber's POV

I am looking intently in her eyes... And I can see a familiar sight.

Her eyes were just like mine before I met her.

Full of sorrow
Full of regrets
Full of pain

And full of things I want to say but I kept hidden.

"Hope..." I muttered

But she abruptly take away herself from my grip and face her back on me.

"We can talk about it" I said carefully

"No! There is nothing to talk about!"
She shout

"I understand if you don't trust me because we just met..."

I haven't finish my sentence yet when she cut me off.

"No! Its not like that Seph, its just that..." She hang her head low

I can see her crimson face forming up.

Is she still sick?

"Its just..." She fiddle her fingers

"What?..." I asked impatiently

I slowly lifted her head up and what I saw, broke my heart.

Jess pov

"I took my little sister's happiness away from her" I repeated.

I don't know why I talk to this guy about personal matters, but its like I've known him forever and I can trust him.

"I was just thinking about her welfare and when I saw her falling in love with a wrong person, I gave her advises to contradict her feelings or more likely, I brain washed her"

"Its Okay jess, you are just protecting her, because you love her"

I shook my head

"Yes, she obeyed me. She set aside her feelings for this person and divert it to someone else. I was happy at first, until I saw her drastic change. She's not the same. I know, she's smiling outside, but she is hurting ... I saw it. She's just pretending."

"Jess...you just did what you thought was right, if that is really a bad person then..."

"No, she isn't!" I cut him off then I realized I said 'she' and I don't want anyone to know that my sister is gay

"I mean, that person, is not a bad person, all that person did is to make my sister happy... And make her a better person, its just that,... I really thought that they shouldn't be together as lovers, maybe they should stay as friends."

He smiled

"Jess, I don't know who this person is but, are you sure this person is not the right one for your sister that's why you tried to separate them, or because you are afraid that someone will take your sister away from you?"

I was taken aback with what he said.
Am I really just afraid that someone makes my sister happy, aside from me?

Maybe he is right.

I was jealous.

I'd been selfish I know that.

That's why I'm here now, to correct my mistake.
