[1] Prologue

South POV

When risking everything for the one you love means turning your back on everything else...

Will you do it?

Are you ready to hold on to that safe place, in order to save your heart?

Instead of risking things you can't even lose?

- South's Point of View

Once, I thought that fairytales could only happen in stories which was true, but after experiencing an unexplainable feeling towards a certain person, I just wish I could take it back. The time I spent with him.

Those sweet little memories I keep in mind when I'm depressed.

That feeling in your stomach with butterflies and other insects, those crazy fictional fantasy you imagine and it was him inside that abrupt fantasy.

Don't I miss it? Asking myself like an idiot because I'm all alone in this speedway where everything happened.

Here, where our romantic moment happened. Not so romantic, but it's... close to that. I fucking hate him A LOT... but I also miss him a lot...

"Miss, bawal na po kayo rito." Someone from the back talked. I laughed. "Ghost. Why are you here?"

He chuckled as he sat down beside me. "I figured."

"Ohh, your white hair is shining. That's cool!" His smile faded and messed up my hair.

"Ngayon mo lang napansin?"

"Don't even bring that face up. I can't resist to not tell you." He was pouting and everything! He just looks so damn cute.

"Not a chance." With a smirk on his face and made his face to that pityful one he always gets away with. "C'mon, I'm not that same old South Amersolo you met on the rooftop who gave up so easily."

"Lalo na kapag ginagawa ko 'to?" He made it worse so I moved his face away from me and we both laughed.

"I'm kidding!" Natahimik ako when I remembered how identical he was to him. Napatitig nalang ako sakanya as my smile just... faded.

The sight of the racetrack makes every memory of me and him more clear to remember. The cold wind hustling onto my skin.

"South, he's not coming back." I heard him say that but all I could do was let one by one of my tears fall on my cheek. He isn't coming back, and I know it to myself. Pero masama ba na gusto ko pa rin umasa dahil alam ko na kahit wala siya ay mahal niya 'ko? Kailan pa ba naging mali yun diba?

"Alam 'ko. No need to say it out loud... Thinking of it is enough." Ghost is my rebound. He insisted himself, and even if I don't want to, he was right when he said I needed it.

"I love you." Hindi ko man maramdaman sa ngayon ang pagmamahal na gusto ko ibigay sakanya, I just want to make him see that someone loves him, too.

"I'm sorry, But I can't love you, yet." Tumango lang siya and kissed my forehead.

Ghost is a real boyfriend-material. No matter how many times I do iniquitive things behind his back, he understands why I do it.

That's why turning my back on him is the hardest part of leaving without saying anything before I go.

But fortunately, he wasn't that hard to fall-in-love with. My friends even told me that he's a real keeper, so I should treasure him and to not let him fall out of love at me.

They were right, but there's still one voice inside me that shouts his name. To go look for him. To understand why he had to go and leave me with just that one sentence that shattered a part of my love for him.
