TGK 2: Sealed With A Kiss [Complete]

Chapter 30: "No happy endings"

Chapter 30 

(Kyle's POV)

"Oh tapos?" Tanong sa'kin ni Cherrie. Nasa coffee shop kaming dalawa malapit sa school at kinuwento ko sa kanya yung mga nangyari kaninang umaga. Nagtatype siya sa laptop niya habang umiinom lang ako ng coffee para mabawas-bawasan naman yung sakit ng ulo ko.

Pagkatapos kong magsorry sa kanya para sa mga ginawa ko kagabi. Akala ko nung una magagalit siya but she shrugged it off. "It's no big deal. We were drunk." Yun yung sabi niya tapos tinanong niya ko kung kamusta na kami ni George.

"Tapos na." 

"Yun lang? 'Tapos na'? Wala ka nang ibang gagawin? Susuko ka na lang?" 

I sighed. "Ano pa bang pwede kong gawin? Parang ginawa ko lahat pero wala pa rin eh. Nasasaktan rin naman ako dito. Lalo na... yung mga sinabi niya kanina." I took a deep breath. "She knew. Natatakot na kong masaktan ulit. Na natatakot akong masira yung pagkakaibigan namin simula pa lang. Pero yun pa rin yung nangyayari ngayon, di ba?"

"You know what? Hindi mo pa nagagawa lahat, Kyle! If you're not happy, then you haven't done everything yet." 

"That's wishful thinking. Na magiging masaya kung gagawin mo lahat para makuha yung magpapasaya sa'yo. It doesn't work that way. I know." 

All those times that I've done every damn thing I could think of. I looked at Cherrie, I did everything before to keep her, to make her stay with me. But she still left me. Si Yumi, I did everything to win her, to make her see me. But she still didn't choose me in the end.

At ngayon si George, yung KS ko na dumating sa buhay ko at ginulo ulit ito. Sigurado na ko noon eh, na ayoko na. Na pagod na ko. Na hindi ko na papayagang masaktan ulit ako dahil natrauma na yata ako na magmahal. But I met her, at kahit anong pigil ko, I still fell for her. And I fell hard. 

But what the would I do if she's pushing me away? There's only so much that I can do before I get tired of getting hurt.

Maybe it's better to quit this now while I still can. I can't handle all these consecutive heartbreaks. I freaking need a break.

"This is  so sad." Biglang sabi ni Cherrie. Napatingin ako sa kanya.

"Huh?" 

"Selena's new song. You should listen to this." Bago pa ko makasagot, isinuot ni Cherrie yung earphones niya sa'kin.

You got me sippin' on something
I can't compare to nothing
I bet for known I'm hoping
That after this fever I'll survive
