"When I was drowning in darkness, you became my sun that shines so bright and let me see colours in my life again."
Kristia Serene Garcia was a wreck. She's lost all hope of being happy again after that tragic accident that ruined her life. She's dr...
After my class ended, there's no one waiting outside thankfully. I headed straight to the parking lot and got on my car.
I feel really exhausted. Sobrang pagod na pagod ako for weeks now. Ngayon ko ata naramdaman lahat. My tears are falling fast. I kept crying for a whole 15 minutes before deciding I should go to the cemetery.
I calmed myself while driving. Car accidents have a way of ruining my life. I don't wanna kill myself on a car accident. I was careful on my driving ever since that time.
I went to visit my parents. I sat there and lit a candle. I just stared into their engraved names. I miss them.
After a while, I stood up and walked towards a different grave. A bit farther from my parents. As I neared his tomb, I felt my tears swelling up again.
I miss you Ethan. I miss you so dmn much!
I cried like a baby as I saw a picture of him on his tomb. There was actually a picture of us, but you can't see my face. Until death, he's still protecting me.

I haven't visited his grave since I got out of the hospital because it felt all too real. And I still can't believe he's long gone. It's been three years but I still hurt.
"I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry I haven't visited you since then. I really really miss you. Ang daya mo naman ehhh. Dapat kasama mo ko ngayon. Sana isinama mo na lang ako noon. Why did you have to sacrifice yourself for me to live. I'm not worth it. I should've died with you that night. I miss you so much!" I keep crying and crying.
I can still remember that day really clearly.
I had a fight with my parents. They did not approve me dating someone older than me, much less a Salazar. But I love Ethan. I love him so much.
I called him to pick me up. I sneaked out and saw his car parked a bit farther from our gate.
"Thank you for saving me baby!" I kissed him on his cheeks once I got inside the car.
"Always. Where do you wanna go?" He kissed my hand and I practically melted.
He doesn't look sweet outside but he's really loving and caring. He has a bad boy exterior but I know him real well to know he's good, rebellious but good. Just a bit hot headed sometimes. We've been dating for a year now but my parents only recently found out. That's why we fought. They don't like my choice of boyfriend.
Ethan is the son of my parents' business rival. I met him when I was 15 at a mutual friend's party. I'm the typical good girl and he's dangerously a bad boy. But we unexpectedly hit it off. Even if he's 2 years older than me. I fell in love with him.
"Can we drink? Alcoholic drinks?" I'm using my puppy eyes look at him.
"I don't want to take you home wasted later. Your parents already hate me baby." He started driving around.
"Please baby! It's not like it's my first time to drink. Come on."
"Fine. What will I do to you? You're so innocent when we met. I feel like I corrupted you."
"Or maybe I was the one who corrupted you?" I kissed him. I really love this guy no matter what my parents say.
We were kissing intensely until he stopped. I was running out of breath from the steamy kiss we shared.
"Wait here. I'll buy beer for us." He got out and left me in the car wanting more. I know how much he's been holding back because I was too young.
We were drinking and sharing stories and kiss until I saw that it was almost midnight. My mom will check on me if I'm in bed.
"Omg! Baby I have to go home now."
"Sht. Sorry baby I lost track of time."
He hurried driving us home. We didn't notice an SUV barrelling straight towards us. It was too late. But Ethan covered me with his body. He saved me.
"I love you KS." I lost consciousness.
I woke up in the hospital.
"Ethan! Where's Ethan?" I tried to get up but so many wires are connected to me. I got rid of the wires and hobbled towards the door.
I saw a nurse outside. "Miss nasaan si Ethan? My boyfriend. He's with me in the car. Nasaan si Ethan?" I'm panicking and the nurse as well. They're all trying to calm me down
"I'm sorry miss Garcia but you're the only one who survived the accident."
The doctor told me na wala na si Ethan pero di ako naniniwala. He wouldn't leave me. He loves me. I got hysterical and they sedated me because I'm throwing a fit.
The next time I woke up, I saw my parents' hard stare on me.
"That boy got you in an accident. Driving while under the influence of alcohol. You could've died as well! Are you not thinking? You sneaked out in the middle of the night to get drunk? That boy was such a bad influence on you!" My mom is going on and on about Ethan.
But it's not his fault. I was the one who asked him to pick me up and drink with me. I'm the one that should've died.
I started crying. Realizing that my boyfriend is dead because of me. It's my fault. I need to see him.
"Please take me to Ethan mom, dad. I need to see him. Please..." I was crying nonstop but they ignored my pleas.
Once I got discharged, Ethan was already buried. My parents let me see his grave but told me it was the first and last. They gave me an hour before I need to go to the airport to spend the remaining summer break abroad.
They had to pull a lot of strings so that it wouldn't go out that I'm involved in the car accident. The news only reported that the drunk driver of the SUV barrelled on the opposite lane and hit Ethan's car. Ethan was unluckily under the influence as well didn't react on time to avoid the crash.
No reports about the girlfriend he saved from death.
Remembering that accident made me cry harder. Ang sakit na maiwan ng mga taong mahal ko ng dahil sa car accident. But Ethan saved me kaya hindi ko magawa na ipahamak ang sarili ko through another accident kasi feeling ko masasayang yung buhay ni Ethan na pinangsave niya sakin.
