“Forth’s POV”

Phana had to drag me back to our hotel. He did not want me to stay at the bar and watch after Beam while he party with that new guy. He knew that my jealousy would cause a commotion since I was no longer in my sane mind after having some bottles of beer. I was already under the influence of alcohol when Beam and Torn arrived at the bar. Phana says that it was a good thing that they did not see us, but I disagree. If I had the chance, right there infront of Beam, I would have punched that guy’s face so that he would remember not to flirt around with my boyfriend. I have clearly made my stand when Beam introduced me to Torn. I even crushed his hand for him to remember that Beam is no longer available. Does he want a different kind of beating?

It is past midnight and my mind is still awake. Even if I am currently at my bed, blankly staring at the ceiling, my thoughts are roaming somewhere. Phana, my roommate, was already snoring peacefully. I lost track of time. I heard Phana stir a bit and saw him awaken momentarily. He rushed to the toilet to take a pee.

“Huh? Forth.. Why are you still awake?” He came back to his bed a bit disoriented.

I did not answer him. I just made a heavy sigh and went back staring at the ceiling.

“Forth. It will do you no good thinking about Beam. Why don’t you just go to sleep and go with my plan. I tell you, Beam will realize soon enough what he’s missing here.”

“It’s easy for you to say. What if being cold to Beam turns back at me? Instead of making him realize his true feelings for me, he instead breaks up with me in the end.”

“Haayyy

“Haayyy.. Such a worry wart! Can’t you see that Beam has drifted away from you already? He is lying to you for goodness sake! With the way he acts towards you now, your relationship will still end with a breakup. So better take the risk, go for our plan, and start enduring him from now on.”

Phana got me. He was right again. The fact that Beam is lying to me is already a sign that our relationship is failing. The thought of it crushes my heart to pieces. Why does Phana’s words hit me directly at the most painful spot?

The sun shined scorching through the window to my face. I was surprised that it was already morning. I checked my watch; it was already 8 in the morning. I can’t believe I stayed up all night and didn’t even have a bit of sleep. I stood up and closed the curtains. I was no longer in the mood to enjoy the morning light. I saw my reflection on the window. It was sour enough to break the glass.

For our today’s photoshoot, it will be starting at dusk. The photographers are hoping to capture the night life scene at the beach. For that, we have the whole a.m. to spend for ourselves. Pha woke up looking like a prince. He started preparing to hit the shore and flirt with the girls in swim suits.

“Forth. Want to join me? Let’s go look for girls that will make Beam jealous. Hahaha!”

“I can’t. I already promised Beam to spend this day with him.”
