I love him but I rather not be..

21.2 Pride vs. Love

: Elaine's POV:

"ughhh!!! nakakainis siya!! why does he have to act that way, as if naman na i'm a flirt girl!!"

i shouted, nasa may garden naman nila ako.. and and nakakainis pa when nics told me that he also invited that Daniel to the party, this is just so perfect!!

i was sitting sa isang bench sa garden nila when i felt someone was getting near to me

"Drake i told you-"

"Elaine" hearing that voice just makes me want to choke, he shouldn't be here wala ako sa mood.

now he was infront of me, as usual he look so damn good, what's new right? typical chinito in his black suit and a very masculine perfume which he always use..

i was about to stand and walk away when he held my hand tight.

"can we talk?"

i didn't answer but he didn't let go of my hand

"please Elaine, this won't take too long, i want  to fix this"

"fix what?!" i can't  take it any longer! he was getting in my nerves

"us, why you were avoiding me"

"us?? really daniel? haha and avoiding  you? why would i? and besides  super busy tayo sa mga org-"

"stop lying Elaine please, i know it's all my fault kung bakit tayo nagkakaganito,  and i'm really sorry"

i was stunned, i was speechless almost voiceless  no!!! hindi to pwede what he did to me doesn't solve by that word..

"you know what Daniel? i don't want this, i'm freakin tired and i'm not in the mood of talking"

"but Elaine,  i can't stand this anymore, you avoiding me, you not talking to me, and you having a relationship with that guy" he looks so serious that made me feel nervous

he's never been like this to me, but why? i'm just his bestfriend if i remember, my  plan is working but i don't know if this is right..

"so it's all about that huh? ano naman pake mo if i have a relationship with him, by the way it's Drake, aren't you happy for me? that your bestfriend is growing  up? and besides you said that i was flirt diba?, that easy you judged me" tears were  forming in my eyes, no i can't cry not infront of him anymore

"i don't like him for you.." that's all he said.

"who are you to decide for me? the moment you said those things to me, you also ended up being a friend to me Daniel, you were the last person whom i thought would do that to me, pero hindi eh ikaw pa yung nauna, thanks ah, you've just made me on my worst now, and please let go of me, i have someone waiting for me" ayoko na!! pag hindi pa ako umalis ngayon baka mag break down ako dito.

he let go of me, and he looked down, i know he was hurt with my words, but i was just telling the truth, wala naman siyang karapatan masaktan because the whole time i was  the one suffering not him..

as i walked away, he ask something that really made stop

"do you love him  that much to make me loose my bestfriend?"

"no, he loved me that much to make me forget everything you did to me"

that's it ayoko na, i can't bear it anymore..i was almost going when

"Elaine please don't love him"

"why?" involuntarily it came out from my mouth

"beca...use.. mahal--"
