Janella's POV
Hearing those words from Elmo pinches my heart. It hurts. It hurts hearing my friend, a very special friend, from the other line experiencing pain. Hearing him the questions you can't answer because of even you, yourself have a lot of questions in your mind. Unanswered. Hearing his voice, if not crying, from a cry. Voice so pale, so sad. Voice that soothes you but now it troubles you. It hurts. I'm hurt.
This day was not the exact day they broke up. It was months ago. Back August. August 7, 2016. See, I remembered it exactly. That was also the day he called me, too. I was the first one to know aside from them both of course.
He called me and said, "Jea, we're done."
At first, I didn't get it. "we're" I thought he and I but he spoke again. "I and Janine broke up." I can tell he did not cry. No streak from his voice. It's just bland.
What I responded was, "I-I'm sorry Moe. I hope you're....okay"
I don't know what to say and that day was also the day I felt so dumb. I was waiting for an answer but all I heard was the hang-up sound. Binaba nya na. Hindi na sya nagsalita pa.
I appreciate him telling me that. I felt....trusted. But I don't think what I told him was appreciatable.
And now, here he goes. He called me again. Tama kaya yung sinabi ko? Totoo naman eh, I will stand by him always. And not to judge his feelings, but I think he's not hurt because they broke up. I mean, there's more to it kasi na pati ako nawoworry. And whatever that is, it's not my business yet.
At yun nga, sabi nya he'll see me soon. Taping, eh?
