Vallerie's POV:

"Wag ka nang pumasoooook" sabi ni Clint. "Clinton, you're acting like my boyfriend right now" sabi ko.

"Vie, you're sick. You're not supposed to go to school" sabi niya. "I have to study, Clint. Di ako tulad mo sorry"

"Aba'y gago, excuse me ha, I study. But I don't when I'm sick" sabi niya. Tapos napaubo siya. I laughed since nahawa na siya.

"Boys. You guys are weak when you're sick. Anyway, I'll be leaving na. I don't wanna miss any lesson" sabi ko. I checked myself in the mirror once again, making sure yung hati ng gray hair ko maganda.

I remembered how I looked before, brownish black hair, slim figure, and everything. Then how I looked during the break-up. An even more slim figure. Not even slim, thin. Pumayat ako. My hair wasn't taken care of too.

And to now, still a thin figure, but gray hair plus tattoos. I definitely look different and I'm proud of the change. I love it.

I took my car keys saka lumabas na ng apartment. Pumasok ako ng elevator. But when the doors were closing, someone inserted their hand para di magclose yung door.

And once I saw the person, sadness filled me. Him. Again.

I suddenly heard the words Angel told me.

"Give it a try. Try knowing the real reason kung bakit ka niya iniwan"

YZ showed a straight face looking like he didn't care at all when we saw each other. Unexpectedly pumasok siya ng elevator kahit na nandun ako. Awkward silence filled the elevator.

"Can I ask you a question?" Bigla kong tanong. He looked at me, still a straight face on. "What?"

"Was it really fake love?" Tanong ko. At that second I hoped that he can't hear my heartbeat. Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. I was very nervous with the answer he'll be saying.

"Do you want an honest answer or an answer that will make you feel better?" He asked. I chuckled but in a sad way, "Former"

"To be honest, it wasn't ALL fake love. I liked you a little. But then I found Carrie in my doorstep. And at that moment I knew I still loved her. I still love her despite all the sad times we had. I love her, but I like you. And love is stronger, we both know that. So I chose her. Because why would I choose you? And plus, it was getting boring too"

I felt like my whole world stopped. I swear, everything this man says hurts. Masakit na yung sinabi niyang it was all fake love. Masakit yun eh, sobrang sakit. It hurt as hell.

Pero yung malamang he broke up with me because I was boring? Yung he broke up with me because he didn't love me unlike the words he told me. He liked me. That was it. And like isn't strong. We all know that.

There was a ding which meant nandun na kami sa parking lot. But I felt sick. I didn't know what to do. With a heavy feeling, I walked palabas ng elevator. But every step hurt. I am a thin person but I felt like my body was the heaviest thing on earth.

And then everything turned black.
