Jem can believe that Alex can't remember her. She went home and cried out loud. Keane went to her condo to check on her, "Babe, why are you crying?"
"It's my fault. I should be blamed for the accident." "Why you're blaming yourself Jem, I don't get it. Choice ni Alex na sunduin si Rain, did you tell her to fetch Rain? Hindi naman diba?" "But I am the reason why Alex left." "And so? It's her choice. Babe, just forget them." "It is easy for you to say that, they're like family to me." "Ikaw bahala, I just can't stand that you are blaming yourself for this." "Keane, I want to be alone." "I am here for you babe." "Please, just leave." Keane left.

After a week, Alex was discharged from the hospital. "Rain, I trying to remember what happened before the accident but I just can't." "Alex, don't think too much." "Who's fruit girl again?" Alex is referring to Jem. "She's Jem." "Ahh, when I saw her sa hospital I suddenly felt sadness. Maybe because of her eyes, when I looked at her sobrang lungkot. Are we close?" "Not really, classmates ganun." "Ah, mom told me that I have a post traumatic amnesia. I really can't remember any tragic or sad memories." "It is better that way Alex." "Yeah, I know." Rain kept Alex' diary about Jem.

It is the last week of the school year, everyone is busy with the clearance. Alex finally showed up in school after then accident. Everyone welcomed here but she can't recognize them all. "Hi Alex!" Jem greeted her and Alex smiled back to Jem. Whenever Jem tries to approach Alex, Rain is doing something to get Alex' attention. Jem knew what Rain is trying to say, to leave Alex alone. Jem went outside, Rain followed. "Jem, don't get me wrong. I am doing this for her, it's better this way. I don't want to see her sad if she remembers you." "I know and I am fine with it. Don't worry Rain I will not try to get close to Alex again." "Thank you, Jem. By the way, this is Alex' diary about you, so you'll have an idea how much she loves you. Keep it forever." Rain handed the diary to Jem.

Jem went home and started reading the diary. 06/11/2018
I bumped into someone who looks like an angel here on earth. Her coffee spilled on her clothes buti nalang I have extra shirt. I hope to see her again soon. She's reading through every page.

I can't believed I stayed at Jem's place. We had personal conversation and I can feel that we're getting close each day. She's a simple girl and very outgoing, I want to tell her how much she means to me but I don't want her to stay away from me.

I am taking care of you from afar. I saw that you are sad today, I am afraid to ask you why. I wrote something and it made you smile. Okay na ako dun. As long as I am making you smile, that's enough for me.

This day is the saddest day of my life. I am trying to accept the fact that you now have a boyfriend but I just can't. This is the last time I'll write here, I will still love you silently and will hope that someday you'll love me back.
