Love Hope In Batanes

dissapointment

Amber's POV

I stir when I felt something wrapped around my waist. I open my eyes and see an arm. I turned around and saw... Krystal, sleeping.

I brushed the hair covering her face. Even though its dark, I can see some steaks of dry tears on her cheeks.

'Why did you cry, Krys?' I asked on my thoughts.

Knowing there will be no answer in an unheard question, I just covered her with my blanket and let her sleep some more.

I went to the kitchen to grab a drink.
I saw that the lights were open, a sign that there is already someone inside.

"Oh, Amber, you can't also find some sleep?" She said

"No unnie, I think, I already had enough sleep"

"Come, join me here. Maybe you can give your umma here a story?"

I nodded

I sat beside her then she gave me a can of beer.

"So... How's your vacation? Is the danger worth it?" She joked then chuckled.

I wanted to tell her but I don't know where to start

"Have you found a hope now?" She asked that caught me off guard.

It was just like yesterday when I was crying on her arms and told her everything I felt. Not long after that moment, I am very determined when I told her, I will be leaving for a while hoping I will find my hope. And now, here I am...

"I literally found MY HOPE, unnie"

She smiled warmly at me.

"I'm glad you did" she said, engulfing me in her embrace.

Krystal's POV

I cried all night thinking what our leader told me. All of my mistakes... Everything. Actually I already know about it. I don't even understand why I act like that to them. Maybe because she don't like me getting close to Amber again? And I hate it!

After I calmed down, I decided to go to Amber's room. I just want to check up on her, that's all.

And then I saw her sleeping... Peacefully. Its like nothing happened.

"Amber, I promise, I'll make it right this time... Promise."

I stared at her.

She looks different now, she looks more manly,
Her mouth a little open, that's just making her looks even hotter.

I watch how her chest get up and down while she's breathing.
Never mind if I look like a creep right now, I just missed this dork so much.

I guess, staring is not enough for me, I wanted to feel her...

So I touch my lips on the side of her head wrapping my arms on her waist in the process. Hearing her breathing is very relaxing. I am glad she's safe. And she's back. And I won't let her go again.

I didn't know that I fell asleep beside her.

I saw Amber on the cliff, hanging on my arm for her dear life, but someone tapped me on my shoulders, I looked at him, which made me  let Amber go, and she fall.

She fell and no matter how hard  I tried to reach for her... She's no where to be found. I was left alone with that guy regretting the fact that I let Amber go for him.
