Darren Espanto? My ex-friend. (Darren Espanto and Juan Karlos Labajo)

Chapter 8: Meeting them.

Lygienel's POV

"Okay okay, Darren, truth or dare?" Juan Karlos asked Darren as the bottle landed on him. Darren smiled confidently.

"JK, you know me, you know that I'd pick dare. Dare," Darren said with confidence. I have no right to smile at him. We're not friends anymore.

"Darren, I dare you to.." Juan Karlos dramatically started, making Darren turn pale.

"Darren, I dare you to tell Lygienel the truth. The truth about why you hated her, and the truth about why you're ignoring her," JK told Darren. Darren faced me sadly as I feel my heartbeat quicken.

"Lygienel, I used you," he said. I felt my world stopped. A tear escaped from my eye. Darren, did you just said that?

"W-what are you t-talking about?" I asked him stuttering, feeling heartbroken.

"Gie, listen. I'm sorry I used you. It was all a deal. If I agree to the deal, they will help me to court Hannah," he explained. I felt 2 wrecking balls hit me in my chest. It hurts. I cried and stood up. He stood up, too.

"Darren, if you're expecting me to forgive you, I'm sorry," I told him. Lies. Lies. Lies. No, I want to forgive him. I want to.

"Gie, listen to me," he begged. I was about to walk away when I faced him. I high-fived him in his right cheek and hit his chest hard.

"You traitor. I hate you!" I yelled at him, crying. Lies. Lies. Lies. No, I love you Darren. I love you.

"I deserved that," Darren said before I ran away. I can feel Juan Karlos following me, running, too.

"No! No!" I shouted, waking up. I looked at the surroundings, I was at my room. It was only just dream. Yet, it seemed so real. No, no. It's not real. I buried my head on my hands and cried. Darren, using me? I think, I'm not able to take it..

"I-it can't b-be true," I cried. I got a pen and a paper, and wrote about my dream.

Bad Dream

I dreamed about Juan Karlos, Darren, Sofia, Michelle and I playing truth or dare. Once the bottle landed on Darren then on Juan Karlos, Darren chose dare. My consious says that Darren and I were not friends anymore. Juan Karlos dared Darren to tell me the truth about him.. lying to me. Saying that Darren just used-- 

"I-it can't b-be real," I cried more, more and more. I think I can't continue the note anymore. It hurts. It's not real right? It's fake right? It's just a bad dream, right? 

What will just happen to me if this will happen? Who can I fully trust now?

"Cupcake, wake up. We're going to Manila," Darren called through my door. I glanced at my alarm clock. It was already 7:30am. San Manuel, Isabela is really far from Manila.

"Coming, icing!" I shouted, throwing some clothes on my bag. We're going to stay there for 2 days and a night so, I have to bring a lot of clothes. And of course, swimsuits. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. "Calm down, Gie. It was all just a dream, a bad dream," I say to myself.

Darren's POV

"Oo naman po, tito Niel. Iingatan ko po ang baby girl nyo," I said while chuckling to tito Niel. We were just waiting for Lygienel to come downstairs.

"Tito Niel!" someone shouted from the front door. I took a glance, it was Juan Karlos. I guess, they were really close to each other. "Uy JK, pasok ka! Dala mo na yung mga gamit mo?" tito Niel asked Juan Karlos as he just nodded and smiled.
