Distance Between Us

Epilogue

"Mom, please. I don't want modeling. I just want the business. Please, trust me just this time."- I pleaded. She walk towards the kitchen as if she didn't care about it.

"Ally, I told you your sisters will take care of that. And also, your father won't agree with your decision."

"Bakit? Is it because my grades are low that's why he's looking down on me!?"- I told her with my voice shaking because of frustration and sadness.

"Let's not talk about this right now, Ally."- She said before she walked out.

I don't know why they never trusted me ever since.Maybe, because I never made my them proud.

Lakad takbo lang ang nagawa ko patungo sa kwarto habang ang mga luha ko'y nag-uunahan na lumabas. As I entered my room, kumuha ako ng mga damit and sandals. A little bit of my make up accessories and my laptop.

I need a break. It's been 2 weeks and I can't take any more problem. Di ko alam kung magpapahatid ako sa driver or dadalhin ko sasakyan ko. But in the end, I decided to call Johann, my bestfriend. 3 rings before he answered.

"Hey, need something?"

"Uhmm, Jan, you busy?"

"No, why? You missed me? HAHAHAHAHA"

"Oh no. Can you fetch me up?"

"Owkaay? That's weird. I'll be there in 10 minutes."

"Thanks, Jan! I owe you so much! I love you!"

"Oh come on! No worries. I love you too!"

I love you is just nothing, but a friendly word. A FRENDLY WORD.

Nag-lagay lang ako ng lip balm and a little bit of make up para di masyadong mahalata na namamaga ang mga mata ko sa kakaiyak.

When he arrived here, I quickly put my things at the back of the driver's seat.

"So, what are your plans?"- he asked without looking at me.

"Let's have a vacation."- I told without any hesitation.

"Whoa whoa! Something happened?"- I never knew he would be this amused after telling him that there's a problem in the house.

"Now, let's not talk about it! Ugh! You have extra clothes?"- Tumango lang siya at nagsimulang mag drive.

He's Johann Drew Lopez, my one and only bestfriend. It all started in 2nd grade. I don't know how it happened but, we hate each other at first, but ended up being bestfriends. Funny!

Di ko alam kung san kami patungo pero I think we'll go to a rest place they own. Natulog nalang ako since medyo matagal tagal rin ang byahe.

I woke up with Jan's tap. It's already night and I think I just slept for 6 hours. So, pagod nga talaga ako.

I opened the door and streched a little bit. Tumakbo na ako patungong dagat forgetting that I'm wearing high heels.

"Finally, fresh air."- Whispering it with a smile on my face.

Ever since, my parents never showed care about me. They believed that I'm that strong. I'm trying to understand, but I just couldn't. Simula nung elementary, my grades started to get lower and lower and hindi ko alam bakit. Bobo ba ako or sadyang di lang talaga maayos ang pagturo ng mga guro.

My parents never got proud of me and it made me sad. All I can remember is when they smile and and laugh in front of me. And it's not because of me. Because of my sisters.

"Hey, come on let's go inside. Giginawin ka."- He's the most caring person in the world that I have now. Wala siyang alam kung anong nangyayari sa bahay at sa pamilya ko.

Medyo wala nang tao sa labas since its already late at night na rin. Jan got the key and led me to the room.

"Rest well. I'm not sure if I can be with you the whole day tomorrow, but please rest now. Good night, baby."- He kissed my forehead and closed the door. He's that sweet. What a brother material.

Binuksan ko yung maleta at kumuha ng night dress. I took a shower and decided to think a bit since di ako maakatulog due to my sleep kanina.

My tears fell when I started thinking about how I suffer loneliness since I was a child. Agad kong pinunasan ang mga nakatakas na mga luha. Actually, it's not the only problem I am facing. My mom arranged a schedule already para sa first shooting ko and I don't like that. I wear showy clothes, but only in the house. I never liked being exposed.

Guess I have to force myself, then. Kahit labag sa loob.
