Ford's POV

I just realized how ironic life is. When you don't need it, it'll be there, but when time comes that you finally needed it, that's when you can't have it anymore. Life goes on and time heals all wounds. But how long? This pain is unbearable, and I don't think I'll be able to manage this for a long time. Flashback runs through my mind as I made my way inside the car. I never really thought that Alex have these kind of capabilities to hurt me so much, so deep, so painful.

"No." I snorted. "Of course, I'm the father of that child, Alex." Her stare pierced through my heart. For the first time, she became unpredictable. She gave me a smirk.

"Of course, you wouldn't listen to me, jerk. You never did. Kailan ka ba nakinig sa mga tao sa paligid mo? You are a pathetic selfish, human being, Ford!" I must admit, everything she has said was really painful to accept. It's like something stabbed me on my chest. Just right she was preparing herself to get away, I immediately walked to her and stopped her.

"Alex, please. Don't be so hard on me. How many times do I have to tell you that I want you back?" She removed my gripped angrily. Her eyes were burning with resentment.

"How many times do I have to tell you din na ayoko na! Ford, pwede ba? Stop it! Pinagtitinginan na tayo ng mga tao dito!" She hushed, but her tone never changed. It was still a low menacing voice.

"I don't care, Alex. I don't fucking care to what they're going to say. I fucking don't give a damn! Because all l I care right now is you... You and our child." I massaged my temples for a moment. The flashback were giving me thrills. Parang paulit ulit na sinasaktan ako sa dibdib kahit sa flashback lang iyon nangyayari.

Once again, I closed my eyes and tries to resume everything again.

"Bullshit! Ilang beses ko ba sasabihin na hindi sayo 'tong batang dinadala ko?! It's Miko's! So please, just please. Do me a favor, stay away from me. I don't wanna see you." She pushed me hard. I shook my head reluctantly. Right just when she's ready to leave me, I hugged her from the back.

"Alex, please don't do this to me." I said in a whisper. I hugged her tight, so tight for her to know that I don't wanna loose her again. I know deep down that it's my child. I can feel it, I know that she never dared to give her virginity with nobody else, nobody else but me. Pilit niyang inalis ang pagkakayakap ko sa kanya but I didn't move.

I've never had a person in my life who loved me the way she does, she has been a part of me and I can't let her go. I wouldn't let her go.

"Ford, bitawan mo ko." She said in a hard tone. She gritted her teeth to control her annoyance. My eyes started to heat up, and I never like this feeling....

Her, pushing me away.

"Ford, I don't think this is the right time for that." Miko called us out. But I didn't listen. Miko has been looking us, alam ko din na wala siyang magawa kung hindi ang tignan kaming dalawa ni Alex na magtalo. He doesn't want intruding with someone else's problem. Kaya hindi talaga kapani-paniwalang anak niya ang dinadala ni Alex.

I bent my knees and hugged her. Begging her to stay. I really care with nobody else anymore, call me stupid, crazy, insane pathetic man, but I can't let her go. Not this time, not again.
