BORROWED TIME

TEASER

~So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me

And I know the scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
I know the stars will guide us home~

I roamed my eyes around me as I watch every people raising their phones up with its flashlights on and swaying to the beat of Ed Sheeran's All Of The Stars in a small stage being set up in the park.

The way people sing along with an infamous amateur band's performance makes this park magical.

They are lighting up everyone's world through their rendetions of the famous songs of famous foreign artists.

People are hooked with the way they play their instruments, and the voice coming out from the vocalist.

I smiled as I turned my back from the crowd and walk my way out of the mini concert.

"Hey you! Yung babaeng naka-kulay Yellow!"

But I stopped as soon as I heard someone talk.

I tried to find the voice which was actually easy to identify because that someone is using a microphone.

"A-ako?" I pointed at myself as soon as I found who owns the voice I've heard.

I heard a smirk in a speaker. "Oo ikaw." a smile was plastered on the face, as she walked down the mini stage and slowly made her way towards me with her boyish stance and boyish walk that made the crowd sliced into half.

"What? Do you need anything from me?" I asked confusedly.

Which she responded with a shaking head and a little grin glued on her face.

Problema nito? I asked myself mentally.

"Ow, well, meron pala." she said in a playful tone.

I just creased my forehead as a way of questioning her statement.

"You. I need you." I suddenly stopped moving.

"Pardon?" is she playing some tricks with me?

"Sabi ko, I need you."

I just don't get her. I just saw her today in this place and I don't even know her.

"Because?" I crossed my arms infront of her, trying to intimidate her.

"Because... I like you." not thinking twice, she blurted out those words that made my heart pound.

What a way to confess your feelings. Straight to the point and courageous.

"Gusto kita. Wait, no. I mean, sobrang gusto kita. Gustong-gusto kita." and a genuine smile started to show on her face.

The one that made me fall in the right place, in the right time, and with the wrong person.

I smiled bitterly before swallowing the lump on my throat.

I shook my head and smiled confidently, "I love the way you lie."

Then I walked out.

Pampalubag ng loob niyo because I won't be able to update, BT yet for I guess two or three days more. It's our mid terms this week, and I was already crying mentally since last week because of the majors that are giving us very, very hard exams. I'm dyinggg😭😭😭

This one isn't a chapter of BT. This is actually the first story I was about to publish, but JhoBea was actually my first UAAP ship that's why I did published BT first.

But I already had a plan about this tho. Pero sa ngayon, yan na muna. Promise, after my exams, I'll continue writing for Borrowed Time na 😁😁

Ps. Taray ng UAAP Opening Ceremony yesterday. Ateneo did a really, really impressive job.

One Big Fight! 💙💙
