I'll Never Go

Chapter 27

MADISON's POV

October na. Wala na si Kuya. I mean, wala na siya sa school. Nag drop out. Sabi niya since two months nalang daw bago concert niya dito, kailangan niya na daw tumutok sa rehearsal. Pero siyempre, di naman ako t-nga para maniwala sa reason niya. Hindi kaya umaattend ng mga rehearsals niya 'yan. Kahit artista si Kuya, dakilang tamad pa din naman 'yan. Bago siya mag-drop, binigyan niya sila Jace ng VIP Tickets sa concert niya. Mahal din 'yun. 23k++ ata ang VIP. Pero kahit mahal sold out agad.

"Good Morning, Princess." bulong sa akin ni Jace mula sa likuran. Minsan kinikilabutan na ako sa pagiging sweet nito. Masyadong sweet kasi. Di ako sanay.

"My name is not Princess. I'm Madison." sabi ko sa kanya. Buti nga napagtyatyagaan niya nga katarayan ko eh. Y'know what? I like him. Hindi pala siya mahirap magustuhan. At first, akala ko it will take a lot of time para magustuhan ko siya. Pero di pala. Pero syempre, di ko pa siya sinasagot. Ligaw pa lang. I still need to tell this to my parents.

"Tsk." yan lagi niyang sinasabi everytime na binabara ko siya. He's cute! Gahd. Hindi na ako 'to. Maya-maya pa'y dumating na sila Prince at Casper.

"Good Morning, Kylee!" bati nila sa akin.

"Good Morning!" masayang bati ko sa kanila.

"Good Morni-- Badtrip ka pre?" I heard Prince said. Siguro si Jace tinutukoy niya. Tumabi naman si Casper sa akin.

"Anong nangyari doon?" he asked.

"Ewan. Bakit?"

"Badtrip eh. Inaway mo no?" kapag badtrip si Jace, ako lagi nilang pinagbibintangan.

"Hindi ah. Nananahimik lang ako dito eh." I said. Tapos bigla nag-walk out si Jace. What now? Tinignan ko lang siya palabas ng room. Bahala siya. 10 minutes na lang start na ng klase eh. Then I noticed that Casper and Prince are looking at me.

"What?" I irritably asked.

"Di mo susundan?" Prince asked.

"What for?" why would I, anyway? Di pa naman kami eh. Di pa uso lambing!

"Mads." they said in unison while looking at me as if they're my bosses.

"Fine, whatever." then I went out of the classroom to find that childish guy. Dumiretso agad ako sa rooftop. I'm sure doon magmamaktol iyon. Pagkaakyat ko sa rooftop, I saw some white roses on the floor, forming an aisle. Then I saw Jace standing with a bouquet of white roses in his hands. What the hell is this? Lumapit ako sa kanya.

"Mr. Jace Park, can you explain to me what's going on?" I asked. But instead of answering, he said

"White means pure. So, I'm giving you white roses to show that my love for you is pure."

"Okay? So, what's going on?"

"We all have that one person we will always have feelings for, no matter what. And that person is you." he said.

"I want someone who will stay with me no matter how hard I am to be with. I want you to be that someone, Madison." he, again said. Then he kneeled down. What the hell?

"I don't want anyone else to have your heart, kiss your lips, be in your arms, or be the one you love. So here I am Madison, asking you. Will you be my girlfriend? Will you be my property?" he said. After he said that, I don't know why and how but tears just fell down my face. I guess, I really am ready for this.

"You do know that we're already late in our classes right?" I asked then he frowned.

"So, hindi ko hahayaan maging walang kwenta ang mga minutong nahuli tayo sa klase. I won't spend my limited time just to say no." his face enlightened up. Then I nodded. After a sec, he hugged me, real tight.

"Thank you, Madison. I love you." he said.

"I love you too." I don't know where those words came from. I didn't know. Hindi ko lubos maisip na masasabi ko ang mga salitang 'yon. Siguro minsan, words can explain all the things that our mind can't say. October 12, the day we became couple.
