>>Charmaine's POV<<
He is so handsome but he looks so pale for me. I may look like snow white because of my skin but he's different. He's too white.
“Why are you so pale?..Are you sick” I asked him.
“Pfft. I am not..” he is laughing.
“S--sorry..” I apologized. “I am just curious why you're so pale..” I told him sincerely.
“I'm not sick.. I'm not vampire too. I was born pale like them so expectedly I'll die pale like them too..” he smiled again.
“Okay..” I smiled at him back.
As days passed by, turned months and years. I must say we are together officially. Like boy friend- girl friend.
Until one day...
“What's the meaning of this Kevin?..” I asked him.
“Charmai----” I cut him off.
“ANSWER ME STRAIGHT.. ” I shouted.
“I'm breaking up with you, Charmaine. This is Sairyl my new girl friend..” he give me a bittersweet smile.
“Why?..” I asked him and let my tears escape into my eyes.
“I don't love you Charmaine..” he told me while his tears falling to his cheeks.
•••(Months have passed)•••
I don't have any information to him. I didn't saw him at the Park where we met. Nasanay namin ako sa ganitong sitwasyon. Darating at aalis.. That's how people in and out to my life.
•••(During our English period)•••
“Excuse me, Ma'am. Can I excuse to your class, I mean si Ms. Madrigal..” someday entered our classroom.
I look up to the woman who excused me.
“Of course. Charmaine you may go with her..” our teacher answered.
Umalis kami at napunta sa Parke kung saan ko unang nakilala si Kevin. A coincidence maybe pero umupo kami sa parehong upuan where Kevin and I usually stayed.
She handed me a diary. A piece of diary? Really? She excused me for this?
“What's the purpose of this diary?..” I asked her.
“Just read it. If you want to know the answer of your questions about my brother.. It will help you..” she told me.
“Brother?..”
“Kevin Reyes, I mean..” she smiled and leave me alone.

Dear CharvinThough I am dying. God is still good to me. I met Charmaine this morning at the park. We shook our hands that made mW shudder. But she asked me if I am sick caused I am too pale for her. I am not sick, that's true. Because if I am just sick, its still have a cure but because it does not have.. I am just dying.. I am not sick... I am dying.
