FROZEN || Ch.18

Freezing Point

Hailey's POV

[Now Playing ~

Breathe Again by Sara Bareilles

[Car is parked. Bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back?

At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?]

I was really wrong. Naging mahina ako. Lumabas akong easy target. Naging kahiya-hiya ako sa harapan nila. Ang tanga tanga ko! Naisip ko nga ang posibilidad na pinaglalaruan lang niya ako. Ang damdamin ko. Pero tinuloy ko parin. Hindi ko nagawang pigilan ang damdamin ko. Nagpadala ako sa emosyon ko at sa pagiging mahina. I bet naging katawa-tawa ako sa harapan nila. Na ako si Hailey, ang babaeng uto-uto.

Am I that desperate for love? Am I that easy? Dahil ba sa nasaktan ako dati at naging mailap sa mga lalaki kaya nung makita ko ang ginawa niya para sakin, naniwala agad ako? Ganun ba ako sa tingin nila? Ganun ba ang pinakita kong kahinaan?

Nagmahal lang naman ako. Nagmahal lang naman ako ng maling tao.

"Hailey!"

[All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one.

Facing ths ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns.]

It's him. Alam kong siya yun. Siya lang ang may kayang makapagbigay sakin ng ganitong pakiramdam kahit sa pagtawag lang ng pangalan ko.

Humarap ako sa direksyon na pinanggalingan ng boses niya.

I composed myself. Ayokong makita niya ulit ang kahinaan ko. Ayokong ipakita sa kanyang mahina talaga ako. As much as possible, I wanna look tough. And don't wanna give him the satisfaction of seeing me as a ridiculous, gullible girl.

I gazed at him with my cold eyes. Yes. I guess it's time to go back to being the Ice Queen. Atleast, being so, I can hide this pain I'm feeling right now. This massive excruciating pain I'm feeling right now. Don't let them see it again, Hailey. Don't let them. You're not dumb enough to let them see it again.

Upon seeing the expression in my face, shock was evident in him. I guess, nagulat siya na makita ang ekspresyon kong yun. Ang malalamig kong mga mata. Ang akala niyang ibinaon ko na sa limot na ikalawang pagkatao ko, nabuhay ulit.

"What do you want?" - I said in a cold voice.

[All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe.

Hold my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something.

Out of breath, I am lefr hoping someday, I'll breathe again.

I'll breathe again.]

I waited for his answer, yet, he didn't respond. I took one final glace at him. Pero iba na ngayon. Instead of using my cold eyes, it's pain that's flickering in my eyes right now.

"If you don't have anything good to say, I'll go ahead." - I said without even bothering to look at him.

Hindi parin siya nagsasalita kaya naman minabuti ko nang buksan ang pinto sa backseat.

"Hailey, wait.." - he stopped me by holding my hand.

That gesture sent those familiar current of electricity that flowed right through my every nerve. It's penetrating to my whole system. Just a touch from him..makes me weak again.
