Audrey and Chase (COMPLETED)

Chapter 29 - Feeling better

Since bati na kami ni Dad, I was not grounded anymore and my gadgets are all given back to me. And that night na sinabi kong mahal akong bumawi.. well, sobrang pinaghandaan nya nga ang pamabawi nya.

He bought me a new car. It was the new released Porsche.

At dahil bati na nga kami ni Dad, hindi na ako hatid-sundo. Instead, I'm driving myself to school. At hindi na din ako school-bahay. Nakakapaghang-out na ulit ako kasama ang mga kaibigan ko.

Atleast, inspite of what I've been going through, good things are still happening to me.

But even though it's my free day today, I just decided to stay at my room and rest. Parang sobrang pagod na pagod ang katawan ko at drain na drain ang utak ko sa mga nangyayari sa school. Hindi ko na din muna pinapunta ang mga kaibigan ko. I want to be alone for a while.

Suddenly, someone knocked on my door. "Come in." I said and that person did.

Only to see that it was Erin. I immediately felt a pang on my chest. Ever since that issue arised I did not try to talk to anyone other than my friends kaya parang naging sensitive din ako sa mga tao sa paligid ko. Plus isa sya sa mga taong tinulungan ko. Hindi ko alam kung isa din sya sa mga nag-comment sa video at pictures.

"What are you doing here? Who let you in?" I asked and did not try to hide the irritation in my tone. Then, I saw her flinch.

"Si Mrs. Gomez ang nagpapasok sakin. A-Alam kong hirap ka magtiwala sa kahit sino ngayon bukod sa mga kaibigan mo at a-alam ko din na baka hindi mo ko p-paniwalaan pero naglakas loob pa din akong pumunta dito para makausap ka." nanginginig na sagot nya.

"What do you want then?"

"I just want you to know that inspite of all the issue, hindi pa din nagbabago ang tingin ko sayo. You're still the same Audrey for me. The one who helped me out and reached out for me when I badly needed it."

"And that's supposed to make me feel better?" I mocked and she flinched again. "Anong gusto mong palabasin? Na ipinagtatanggol mo din ako para quits tayo? Well, newsflash darling. Kahit magmakaawa ka pa sa harap ko, it won't change anything. I don't trust people like you anymore."

I don't really care if I'm being a b-itch right now pero gaya nga ng sabi ko, I'm done being nice to people. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko syang paniwalaan dahil hindi ko na din alam kung ano ba talaga ang intensyon nya sakin.

"Naiintindihan ko." she replied at sa sobrang ganda ng ngiti nya it did not seem fake. "Still, can you please hear me out?"

"Shoot."

"Uhh, this is about Chase." she started and this time, I was the one who flinched. D-amn.

"It may seem that he's completely ignoring you because he was hurt and bcause he's done with you but the truth is, he's not. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nasa isip nya kung bakit ginagawa nya iyon but from what I have observed, he's still there. He still cares."
