Chapter 47

Luke's POV

Nang makarating ako sa Dalton Academy ay agad kong tinungo ang lugar kung saan magkikita si Jake at si Kyle. Hindi na bago sa paningin ko ang paaralan dahil minsan na akong pumunta dito noong nag-aaral pa ang pinsan ko dito at ako pa ang naghahatid sakanya.

Napahinto ako nang makita ko si Jake na yakap-yakap si Kyle. Si Kyle naman ay umiiyak.

"What the hell is happening here?" Bulong ko.

I saw Jake as he wiped away the tears from Kyle's face. I saw how he slowly caress my friend's face and I saw the sincerity in his eyes. I know that I was wrong to judge him as a sadistic person pero who would've thought that this person is caring, atleast for Kyle.

"Don't you think they're sweet?" Nanigas ang paa ko nang marinig ko ang isang pamilyar na boses sa aking likuran.

"Ye-yeah." I don't want to face him, I'm still afraid and I'm not yet ready to face him again.

"What are you doing here? Are you Kyle's friend?" He asked.

"Uhm, yes." Hindi pa rin ako tumitingin sakanya. My heart is beating damn fast at parang may nagkakarerang mga kabayo sa puso ko. Hindi ako mapakali at unti-unting tumutulo ang mga pawis ko sa mukha.

"You look and sound familiar. Nagkita na ba tayo noon?"

"I..I don't..know." Hindi pa rin ata siya nagbabago. Should I tell him how I really feel? It's now or never, I guess.

I took the courage and faced him.

"L-luke?" I saw the shock in his face. Why?

"Edward." I smiled at him. It's Edward, the guy I was in loved with back in Senior High. Umamin siya saakin but I never had the courage to tell him what I felt because I was scared. I was scared na baka hindi ko maibigay sakanya yung gusto niya, what If I won't be able to reciprocate my love towards him? How am I supposed to endure watching him suffer when he's in a relationship with me? I think, I think it's still best if I will not tell him the truth.

"You're friends with Kyle?" He still have the same smile. Masaya ba siya nang makita niya ako? Nakita ko uli sa mga mata niya yung saya na minsan kong nakita noong magkasama pa kami. Edward and I are close friends, friends nga lang ba? I doubt it was. The kind of relationship we had was a bit strange, and was new to me so it was really hard to decipher what it was. We shared a lot of things in common and we enjoyed each other's company.

"It's been a while." I said. Judging his reaction, it seems like he was expecting to see me.

"So tama nga yung hinala ko. Ikaw nga yung nakita ko sa campus. Akala ko na namamalik-mata lang ako o dahil ba sa kalasingan ko. But know I know it's you."

"What? Naglalasing ka?"

"Do you still care about me?" Ayan na naman ang ngiti niya. Akala ko ba tapos na siya saakin? Though I wish he's still into me because I'm still into him. Hindi naman nawala yung nararamdaman ko eh, until now.

"Bakit mo nasabi? Para kasing in appropriate yung ginagawa mo especially dahil nasa loob ka ng campus." I answered.

"And so? I think I'm now on the right age and I can now make decisions on my own. Just tell me the truth Luke, do you have feelings for me?"

"Hindi ka pa rin nagbabago Edward, straight forwarded ka pa rin 'pag kausap mo ako. Nakalimutan mo na ba kung anong inabot mo dahil diyan sa pagiging straight forward mo?" Normal lang sa akin na pagsalitaan si Edward dahil sa mga ginagawa niya. Kahit naman kasi mas matanda siya kesa saakin mas matured naman ata ako mag-isip compared to him and I can prove that.

"Bakit? Mali ba yung ginawa ko noon? I was just honest with what I feel towards you."

"You kissed me. You told me that you love me, dude we're both guys." I said to him. Still keeping the mood. I wanted to insist na we can't be together and I don't like him the same way he liked me.

"Let's cut the chase. Why won't you admit it already? You still have feelings for me!" He shouted.

"What? Saan mo ba nakuha yang confidence na 'yan?" Nagulat ako sa mga sinasabi niya. Hindi naman siya ganito noon eh, after he confessed to me at tumanggi ako na may nararamdaman ako sakanya hindi na niya ako kinibo.

"Please Luke, can you please be honest? Just this time?" He kneeled down in front of me. Edward never kneeled before me, ever. Ma pride siyang tao at ayaw na ayaw niya yung nagmamakaawa siya. He doesn't want to show anyone his weakness. But now, I can see it with my own eyes. He's crying in front of me.

"Don't...Luke just don't." I whispered as I held back my tears and prevent it from falling.

"You're still the one Luke. Kahit ilang taon na ang lumipas, I'm still into you. Kailan man ay hindi ako naging interesado sa ibang tao because I always have my eyes on you. I'm sorry for being stubborn for not talking and reaching out to you after what happened. I was not able to apologize for being so immature and I know that you don't like that attitude. Please give me a chance Luke to make things straight and prove to you that I really love you." The last sentence broke my wall. A tear from my eyes betrayed me and fell.

"You...you cried?" Namaos na yung boses niya. I smiled at him. Hinila ko siya patayo at saka ko siya hinalikan sa labi.

All this time naging selfish ako sa sarili ko at sakanya. All this time nagpadala ako sa takot ko na baka hindi ko masuklian ang pagmamahal niya saakin pero after the many years of loneliness and reget I realized that I'm ready, I'm ready to take risks just to be with the person I love the most.

End of Chapter 47.

a/n: Nakalimutan ko at ana may Luke and Edward pa. Hindi pa sila nagkaroon ng closure after the epic confession in their High School days and I never gave them the chance to meet each other. If you remember the scene nung nag practice si Kyle para sa basketball tryout niya with Luke, Edward almost met Luke there kung hindi lang dahil kay Kyle. Anyway, don't worry. You'll know more about their story sa book 2. Yes, I am planning to write the second book. There are only 3 chapters left and I want to thank all of you, my dear readers and supporter, for everything because without you I will not be able to finish this story. Love you all!
