Oh-So-Awesome Nerdy

Chapter 4

It's almost a week since we arrived here in the Philippines. And it's almost a week that I'm wearing these fake braces. Gosh. It really hurts like hell every time I take it off. The dentist said it's normal. I'll get use to it. Our flight to Palawan is tomorrow morning. I packed all the things I needed for tomorrow. I'm so excited. Scarlet always calls me every time she has a free time. She always tells me how much she misses me. I just laughed and told her the same. 

"Hija. Ok na ba yung mga dadalhin mo para bukas?" nanay Inday asked. 

"Opo. Tapos na. It's in the.. uhmm.. Nasa closet ko na po" Sh smiled at me. 

"Ok lang yan, masasanay ka rin" nanay Inday insisted me that I should really start speaking in Filipino now. 

"Nanay, saan po si Vincent?" 

"Nasa music room siya hija." 

"Ok, puntahan ko lang po" 

"Sige." I went to the music room and found Vincent cleaning the guitar I gave him. It's my gift for him last year. I caught his eyes and I smiled at him. He smiled back. 

"Hey, you did bring that guitar here huh." 

"Of course, this is like the best gift that you gave" I smiled. 

"Hey Vince" 

"Yes?" 

"Can you please sing me a song" he looks at me first and he nodded. He started playing.

"I found your hair band on my bedroom floor, 

The only evidence that you've been here before 

And I don't get waves of missing you anymore, 

They're more like tsunami tides in my eyes 

Never getting dry, so I get high, smoke away the days then I sleep with the light on 

Weeks pass in the blink of an eye, 

And I'm still drunk by the end of the night 

I don't drink like everybody else, 

I do it to forgetting things about myself, 

I'm stumbling forward from the spin I've got  

My minds with you but my hearts just not"

"So am I close to you anymore, if it's over 

And there's no chance that we'll work it out"

He looked at me. I smiled at him.

"That's why you and I ended over U N I 

And I said that's fine, but your the only one that knows I lied 

You and I ended over U N I 

And I said that's fine, but your the only one that knows I lied"

He gave me a sad smile. I frowned.

"Everybody said that we'll be together forever but I know that, 

I never wanna settle down, come around, break up the love like Lego now, 

Never wanna turn into another like you, 

Sleep with my thoughts dance with my views, 

Everything's great but everything's short, 

But you live in your halls and I live in a tour bus, 

Now I'm in position to be another stalker and every thing I say seems to always sound awkward, Like our last kiss it was perfect, we were nervous, 

On the surface, 

And I'm always saying everyday that it was worth it, 

Pain is only relevant if it still hurts, 

I forget like an elephant, or we can use a sedative and go back to the day we fell in love on first  

Kiss"

I want to cry. His fighting back his tears.

"So am I close to you anymore, if it's over 

And there's no chance that we'll work it out 

That's why you and I ended over U N I 

And I said that's fine, but your the only one that knows I lied 

You and I ended over U N I 

And I said that's fine, but your the only one that knows I lied"

He stopped playing the guitar and looked straight into my eyes. He continued to sing.

"Because, if I was gonna go somewhere, I'd be there by now, 

And maybe I can let myself down, wo-oahh 

And thinking that I am unaware, I keep my feet on the ground, keep looking around, to make sure I'm not, the only one to feel low, 

Because if you want, I'll take you in my arms and keep you sheltered, from all that I've done wrong 

And I know you'll say, that I'm the only one 

But I know that god made another one of me to love you better than I ever will"

The last line made me cry. He gave me a sad smile again and there were tears in his eyes. He continued to sing and this time with guitar.

"That's why you and I ended over UNI  

And I said that's fine but your the only one who knows that I lied  

That's why you and I ended over UNI  

And I said that's fine but your the only one who knows that I lied"

He placed his guitar down and looked at me. 

"You remember that song?" He gave me that sad smile again. 

"How can I forgot?" I held his hands. He squeezed it tightly. 

"Vince... you're my best friend and I don't..." 

"No Sophie. Don't worry, nothing has changed. Nothing will change. I promise. I can never hate you. It was in the past. Let's just focus on the future. Is that ok?" I nodded. He gave me a hug. 

"I love you Sophie" I smiled. Tears fell from my eyes. 

"I love you too Vince. Thank you so much. I'm so lucky to have you. Please don't leave me. You're my best friend. We'll grow old together." He chuckled. 

"I won't, ok." I nodded and kissed him on the cheek.

Vince confessed his love for me when we were 14 yrs old. I also love Vince that time but then I realized, I only love him as best friend. So I told him the truth. At first, he can't accept it and that's when he first sang me that song. When we turned 15, we were back being best friends again. He told me that he understands and just wanted to stay as my best friend than away from me. Vince was also my first kiss. It was Daddy D's fault. We were 10, daddy D said Vince should kiss me just so I'd be ready for any kissing scene in the future. I know he just made that up. So there, Vince kissed me. My first kiss. Our last kiss together was when we were 13. I was so nervous for my first action movie. I was blabbing things that were nonsense. Vince got annoyed, so he grabbed my face and kissed me.

I'm happy because whatever issue we have in the past we never get awkward. We're still the same like nothing happened. He will always be my best friend and I love him more that anybody else.
