"What did she say Ate?" Ced asked on the other line. Coach Tai cancelled the training for today and Den is just sitting in her couch flicking thru channels on her tv.

"Just a few more days."

"And that was when?"

"3 days ago."

"Hmmm.." Ced sighed. A sigh that was starting to think about what to do.

"What?" Den asked as she stopped at Cinemax which shows Grey's Anatomy.

"Sa tingin mo tutuparin nya yun?"

"Ang alin?"

"Just a few more days." She mocked Jema.

"Oo naman. Why?"

"Nothing, feel ko lang. Got to go Ate."

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go confirm."

"Oh. Okay. Bring food for her okay?"

"Yes ate. Bye."

"Bye."

As soon as Ced ended the call, she took a shower, went to a drive thru and in 20 minutes she was in front of Jema's condo.

"Ced." Jema said with towel in her head, training shorts and sports bra. Ced can see that she really lost huge amount of weight. Her toned abs is clearly not toned now.

"Oohh! Abee!" That made Ced smile because for the first time in two months she was excited to see food. But already turned to a frown as Jema just get the paper bag and not asking her to come in.

"Oh hey Ced, come in Ced. How are you Ced? "She said sarcastically, mocking Jema and that made Jema laugh. That made Ced raise her brows and eyes widened, for the first time in 2 months, Jema actually laughed!!

"Oh my God Jema, you laughed!"

"Uh.. yea. What's the deal?" Jema said munching the fried chicken that Ced bought.

She took a glance on the rice cooker which has cooked rice. The sink!! There were actually dishes there, used dishes. She looked at the fridge, it has lots of food. There 2 bottles of beer, but that's it.

"Sorry, hindi pa ako naghuhugas ng pinagkainan ko eh. Fries?"Jema offered her.

'Wow huh? Ikaw bumili?!" Ced sat beside her and side hugged her.

"So the team doing good?" Jema asked her. She reached in her phone and scrolled thru social media. She heard that Ced actually responded but she wasn't listening as she saw a familiar face on Instagram.

"J?" Ced took a peak on her phone and she saw what Jema was looking at. She squeezed her phone and her knuckles turning white. She took Jema's phone and she hugged her.

'Damn you Fhen. Haven't you hurt her enough?' She asked to herself. After 30 minutes, she looked at Jema, who is now eyes closed. Looks like she fell asleep.

"J?" Ced called her. She didn't respond. She slowly removed her arms wrapped around Jema, and lifted her up to her bedroom. It was confirmed, Jema did really lost weight. She weigh so light.

After tucking her to bed, she kissed her forehead. Just as she was eating and smiling, this happened.

Jema saw a photo of her ex- girlfriend with with the other girl, swimming, holding hands, looking very happy. While Jema here, She is a wreck. She don't deserve this. She's a good person. She left her and went outside to wash the dishes that Jema left at the sink.
