Dream Guy

34th

Vallerie's POV:

Nagising ako bigla. I looked around. I'm not in my room, so where am I?

Everything was white. Walls, the ceiling, the bed I'm lying on.

I saw four people immediately come close to me. Two men and two women.

"Mama? Papa? Ryan? Triss? Ano meron?" I asked.

Mama and Triss were both sobbing. Papa and Ryan both looked very worried.

"N-nasan si YZ?" I asked.

And then flashbacks of what happened went to my mind. The surprise, everything.

And then it hit me.

Wala na nga pala kami.

Umiyak nanaman ako. I looked absolutely pathetic. Tears were running down my face.

"I'm breaking up with you"

"Let's break up"

"Wala na tayo"

"It's over"

"It's not you, it's me. Actually scratch that, it is you"

Did I not love him the way he thinks he deserves to be loved? Was I not a good girlfriend? What did I do to make him break up with me?

"Shh, tahan na Vie" sabi ni Triss and hugged me. Mama held my hand.

"It's okay, Vie" sabi ni Mama.

No, it's not okay.

***2 Days Later***

I had earphones plugged in my ears. Nakaupo ako sa bed ko dito sa unit ko.

I was just looking out the window, looking at small people walk by. Small cars being driven by people.

I looked at a couple walking hand in hand, smiling at each other and looking in love.

I was once in love.

Well, I still am.

Tears escaped my eyes again. Fuck, kailan ba ko tatahan sa kakaiyak? I feel so pathetic for crying.

But I feel even more pathetic knowing nakipag-break sakin ang boyfriend ko.

But I shouldn't lose hope.

Why?

I remembered Carrie telling me mapupunta din sakanya si YZ. So it's just probably that Carrie blackmailed YZ into breaking up with me.

Kaso, tangina eh.

Kung totoong mahal niya ko he shouldn't have done that.

He should've refused and didn't do anything.

But I won't give up.

Why would I? Diba?

I took my laptop and went to YouTube. I then saw a recommended video entitled

Don't Wanna Cry

I clicked the video since it looked like a nice video. Plus I felt like I could relate to the lyrics. After all, I don't wanna cry.

I watched the video. It had English subtitles, which made it easier since this one was a k-pop video.

So this is the popular "k-pop" everybody talks about.

I placed my attention towards the video and read the lyrics too.

But then I cried again.

Break ups.

These are the worst things.
