"Hmm.." Jema raised her hand to hug the person that she just made love last night. Her heart skipped a beat when she felt that she was not there, instead replaced by a pillow.

"Deanna?" She lifted her head to look at her side.

"Deanns?!" She jumped out of her bed and ran to the restroom to check if she was there, she's not. "B?!"

"Deanna?" She looked at the kitchen hoping she was cooking their breakfast. Her heart skipped a beat when she was not.

She ran to the living room to check Deanna's bag if it was still there, but no. She fetch her phone, that was still on her bag, on the bottom part. "Shit. Tangina ngayon pa." She reached in, and threw the clothes in it behind her. She reached in deep and desperately and when she got it she immediately dialed Deanna's phone.

On the 3rd try she went back to the bedroom and clicked the red button to end the call when she saw the note on the bedside table.

'I love you. Thank you and I will come back for you.'

When Maddie came over to return the book that she borrowed she saw a very devastated Jema.

"She's gone. She won't be coming back."

"What are you talking about? Eto oh, kakasabi nya lang." She raised the note that Deanna left.

"Sa tingin mo ba pag bumalik sya wala syang girlfriend, or asawa. I mean look at me, compare mo naman sa mga makikilala nya dun sa states."

"Why are you an over thinker? Besides, I don't think Deanna can do that. Remember sa Cebu? Nung nag night out sila ng friends nya."

"Yea. Pero ito ibang usapan na to. 5 years to Madz. Yun 1 night lang."

"Look Jema, I don't know Deanna as much as you know her, pero she loves you so damn much. And hindi ka nya ipagpapalit ng ganon ganon na lang. You, of all people, should know that."

She let out a huge sigh. "Baket kasi kailangan sa ibang bansa pa? She has a good run naman dito sa when it comes to volleyball. There is Ateneo or UP. Those have a good post graduate program right?"

"Ikaw na den naman nag sabi diba? Para sa future nya yun."

"Yes."

"Oh. See, you can do that. Just do your thing here, she's going to do her thing there. When right time comes, at least with or without her, you will be successful. Either a doctor or a successful Coach."

She nodded. "Thanks Madz." There is absolutely nothing she can do about it.

"Anything J." She kissed Jema's forehead and went to her bathroom.

Since then she became one of her closest friends, until they were offered to coach the Creamline alongside Den, Ced and Jia. 

After eating they proceeded to the beach front as some of them wanted to swim before tomorrow starts. Before the Head Coaches rain them hell. Jema was just sitting at the shade of a tree and looking at the players who are now competing, race swimming. Who ever team lost will cross the winning team's legs.

"Aren't you going to join them?" Deanna asked Jema causing her to startle. "Sorry, I.. I didn't mean to.."

She laughed and clutches her heart, which is beating fast because, 1. she was stratled and 2. Deanna.
