Say You Won't Let Go (Donny Pangilinan)

Chapter 35 - Part Two

Donny

I can't believe it. I really cannot believe it. Maybe the photos Danielle sent me were taken before Sophie and I got together. But, it looks like it has been taken just recently. This shit hurts, how could Sophie do something like this?

Napaupo ako sa gilid ng mga lockers, napatulala sa sahig. Everything is so fucked up right now. Out of my anger, nasuntok ko yung locker na nasa tabi ko. It got wrenched and my fist started turning purple. I'm so mad.

"Dons, what's the matter?", I saw Chris running towards me as he dropped his gym bag before me. "Calm down, before you speak, calm down.", he rubbed my back and helped me to cool down. My heart was raising, I was breathing too fast.

"What's up?", he handed me water then I took a sip.

"Fuck relationships. Fucking cheaters.", I tried not to get through my anger.

"What? What cheater? Who? Enlighten me.", he shook my shoulder.

"Putangina, Christian. Kung ikaw ba, nakita mong may kasama girlfriend mo sa kama na ibang lalaki? Ex pa niya, yung sumira sa kanya.", I buried my face on my arms, trying not to cry.

"Holy shit..", nanahimik ang hallway. "Dons, wala akong alam diyan..", he tried to comfort me but I seriously wanted to be alone.

"It's okay, bro. I also didn't know.", I mumbled.

"Kaya pala hindi na kayo ganun na nagsasama.", he frowned at me. "I'm sorry for hearing this.",

4:18 PM

"Donny, where do you think you're going?", Claui asked, following me towards my car.

"To Sophie's. I just want to clarify some things.", I answered.

"She's out of town, lumabas sila ni Tito.", Claui said.

"Just, leave me alone for a while.", I said as a closed the door and started the engine.

"Whatever happens, please don't hurt Sophie.", so she knew something about this? "I mean, she's already hurting, 'wag mo na lang dagdagan, please lang.", she added. I know Sophie's side anout this.

I ignored Claudia as I started driving away from our village. It didn't take long as I reached her village by the other end of our place. Malapit lang naman yung bahay niya sa guard house so I parked a few spaces before their gate.

I grabbed my phone and dialed her number, I just wanted to check up if she really is doin something behind me.

She answered on the third ring, here goes nothing.

"Hey, love.", she greeted, my heart melted but only for a while.

"Hey, do you mind if I go to your place?", I asked, then boom, I saw her walking out of their gate.

"Sorry, but I'm out of town with Dad.", onti-onti niyang sinasara yung gate ng bahay niya at naglakad papunta sa kabilang side.

What a liar. I cannot take this anymore.

"Okay, have fun.", I coldly responded.

"Okay, bye. I love—", I ended the call.

Does she really love me?

Sophie

As I was about to leave my house to go to Josh's place then my phone suddenly rang. I grabbed it from my back pocket then check the caller ID.
