P! Bray's parents learned about the fight!!
Sinundo siya bigla, sumama nalang ako para may mag-alibi para sa mga nangyari.
Sumama si Reika. Sunod ka nalang here!
Sumalubong sa akin ang nakabibinging katahimikan ng bahay. Halatang nagmadali silang umalis dahil naiwan pang nakabukas ang pinto ng kwarto ko.
I guess it's better this way... being alone. I can cry better this way. I can let it all out in just one night, and maybe... maybe I could feel better tomorrow. Maybe, if the universe permits, I'll be over him by tomorrow.
"As if that's possible." Natawa nalang ako sa sarili kong iniisip.
My chest feels so heavy. My soul is filled with regret. Off all people in the world, why do I keep liking those who can't like me. Of all people in the world, why did I fall for the guy who only sees me as a friend?
I wish my heard had a switch so I could just turn off my feelings for him in just a simple flick of a finger. But love just doesn't work that way.
Papasok na sana ako sa kwarto ko nang marinig kong may nag-door bell sa labas. Dali-dali akong huminga nang malalim at pinunasan ang luha ko. It's Dad. Even if just for a few minutes, I have to show Dad that i'm okay. That my heart wasn't just ripped to shreds by a gentle boy with a treacherous smile.
I walked out of the house with a heavy heart. I kept taking deep breaths, wiping my tears, blinking my eyes, trying to hide the trace of destruction.
My cold shaking hands unlocked the gate and pulled it open only to see a tall figure standing right in front of me. His eyes are on mine, with emotions I could not fathom. He looked at me with longing.... or am I just the one longing for him to look at me the way I look at him.
Before I could utter a single word, Apollo took a step forward and claimed me with an embrace that left me on a daze. My heart beating rapidly.
His face was buried on my shoulder as his cold hands were around me. He held me tight, like he never wanted to let go. He held me like I matter... the way he matters to me.
"Please don't get over me." His voice was weak and soft, like he was pleading.
"Don't forget me." His embrace tightened.
"Don't avoid me." He held me so close that I could hear his ragged breathing.
"Don't love someone else." And with those words, it felt like my breathing took a stop for a second or two.
"A-ano.." The words just came out of my mouth. Hearing those words from Apollo ignited something in me. I tried to push him away but he held me tighter. "Apollo 'wag mo na akong lituhin please..Ang sakit sakit na." My voice softened as it turned into a sob.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry." He whispered over and over again as his embrace loosened, leaving a small space between us. I thought he would take a step back but he just raised his head and began leaving gentle kisses on my forehead. I couldn't help but close my eyes and let my tears go.
"Apollo, stop being such a stupid fck! Wag kang paasa!" I couldn't help but yell as I tried to push him away but he just won't let go.
"Sorry... hindi na.. hindi na.." His voice was filled with the gentleness I've always liked about him. "Bati na tayo, tahan na, bati na tayo, wag ka nang magalit sakin."
The way he held me ignited the hope I've been trying so hard to extinguish. I'm scared. I'm scared to fall deeper. I'm scared to fall so hard and end up like my sister. I can't let my love for him consume me. I can't let him consume me like this.
With all my might, I pushed him once more, this time he finally let go and took a step back, leaving a good amount of distance between us. A good and safe distance for my heart.
I looked down, avoiding his eyes knowing I will just get lost and be a slave of my own damn feelings again. "Apollo, hindi porke't mahal kita gagaguhin mo ako ng ganito. Kung hindi mo ako mahal, okay lang basta wag mo akong paasahin. Bukas..." Napahinga ako nang malalim. "Bukas mag-usap tayo nang maayos. Magkaliwanagan tayo. Kung kaibigan, kaibigan. Kung higit pa roon, higit pa roon--"
"I want to be your everything."
His words made me look up at his face and I saw nothing but sincerity in his eyes.
"What happened to just being friends?"
"W-would it be too much if I ask you to wait for me?" Instead of answering my question, he left me with the haunting words. His voice was full of hesitation, but the way he looked at me felt like he was being hopeful. Like he was begging to wait for him.
I suddenly remembered his internship. Is this about it all along? Him leaving and not wanting me to get left behind? Us.. ending up like Denver and Braylee?
I bit my lower lip as I took a deep breath. My pride is put on the line once more because of my damn love for him.
Apollo's face softened as weak smile suddenly appeared on his face. He slowly nodded while looking at me with such gentleness and understanding. "Piper, okay lang kung--"
"I'll wait for you." I said before he could even finish. I tried to sound as emotionless as I could. I need to have a little bit of pride too. "Go home. Goodnight, Trash. " I added as I took a step back inside and closed the gate.
I heard him grumble from outside like he was frustrated or something. I even heard his feet shuffling like he's hesitating and confused.
"S-sunduin kita bukas?" Pahabol niyang sambit kahit may malaking gate na sa pagitan namin.
