"Your heart says stay and battle the pain, but your mind says leave for all that isn't needed, broken into pieces for that one and only. But follow your heart because the heart can only take so much."

Dashiel's POV
"Dash?" Shit! Busted! I cleared my throat it's so awkward.
"Hmmm? Go back to sleep." She smiled like nothing happened earlier. Niyakap nya akong mahigpit at sumiksik sa leeg ko. Shit na malagkit! I can feel her body heat. Relax D... Relax! I felt her warm breath in my neck and I can feel myself getting hard. Fuck!
"Am I not lucky to have you. I have never said this so thank you. Thank you so much for always being with me. For never letting go of my hand and never giving up on my brattiness. I love you..." My heart leaped. Nagwawala ang puso ko! Mahal nya ako? Mahal nya ako! This is it! I was about to answer I love her too..
"...Best friend." Then she closed her eyes and went back to sleep. I smiled bitterly. What was I thinking?! Ano bang inaasahan ko? That she would love me over night at a fight with tim? Ganun talaga siguro pag nag mamahal ka lubos kang umaasang mamahalin ka nya in return. Kahit gaano kaimpossible. Kahit gaano ka hindi pwede. Mangangarap at mangangarap ka... na sa huli kayo. At ikaw... Ako... Ako ang pipiliin nya. I hugged her closer and pressed my tearducts. She's a light sleeper magigising sya sa pagyugyog ng balikat ko. A tear escaped tang ina! Nakakabaklang mahalin ka. I smiled bitterly as I felt her heartbeat. Her heart that beats not for me. A heart that call someone else's name. A heart that can never be mine.
I closed my eyes and uttered a prayer of thanks that somehow she ended up in my arms and on my bed.

Timothy's POV
She left me...
I don't know what to do. Lutang na lutang ako. All I can think about is she left me. The love of my life left. Fuck! What am I going to do. Mahirap suyuin si Steph. She doesn't listen to reasons! Naiinis akong si Dashiel ang kasama nya but then I guess it's better na si dash ang kasama nya. I took some whisky and started drinking. Hindi ako makapag plano magulo ang utak ko. Only she can calm the storm inside me and now she's the reason for it. I can't find peace. She's the only one that doesn't have any expectation on me. With her I'm free, I can be anyone that I want... I can be me and I'm sure she would still love me the same way.
Tulog na kaya sya? Is she thinking of me? Is she crying? Fuck! Tang ina nung lalaking yun! Pinsan daw sya ni summer. I would have to hunt him down. Hindi naman talaga ako sigurado kung may nangyari nga ba samin ng babaeng yun. I just woke up in bed with her half naked which is really weird dahil di naman ako madaling malasing and I don't drink much kung wala si Steph or si Dash. Wala din namang indikasyong nakipag talik ako. But she was naked claiming we had sex. Wala talaga akong matandaan. That was her freaking birthday na pinagpilitan ng grandma na puntahan ko. I have a feeling that it was all planned and now this!
*ring...ring*
"Hello?"
"Timothy anak, go home." It was nanay Celine.
"Nanay... She left." Nanay Celine is like my second mother and I tell her almost everything.
"Tinawagan nya ako. Nagaalala sya sayo."
"She called you? She must still love me then." And like an idiot I felt like crying again.
"Anak ang pagmahal ay hindi basta basta mawawala dahil sa karampot na tampuhan o problema."
"Nay she was so mad at me. She thought I had sex with summer. I told you about that right?"
"Ang lola mo talaga kung kelan tumanda... Go home anak. Babalikan ka ni Steph."
"What if he falls for dash?"
"Mahal ka nya Timothy. You just have to trust her."
"Okay. I'll stay one more day nay. I just need time to think."
"Okay. Tawagan mo ako ha. At wag kang gumawa ng gulo." I hanged up the phone and went back to drinking.
I must think of a plan to win her back. Hindi to pwede! I can't have her stay with Dashiel long enough. Cause whether I admit it or not I know Dash can take her away from me. He is the best friend and he's in love with her he can and he will do anything just to have her. Perhaps respect for me, for what we have is the only thing that's keeping him. Sonofabitch timmy! Think! Use that brain of yours.
I tried calling her I need to hear her voice or I won't last a day. Using the hotel phone I pressed 0 to speak with the reception.
"Discovery. How can I help you sir?"
"Outbound call? To 09172321212 please." I'm fidgeting what if she doesn't answer.
"Okay sir. We have charge.."
"Bill it to my room now dial."
"O..okay sir."
*ring...ring...ring...ring* shit! Answer the phone..
"Hello?" It's Dash who answered the phone I gripped the handset so tight it might have been destroyed. I was about to answer when I heard her...
"Dash? Who's that? I'm going to take a bath okay?" Fuck! They sounded like husband and wife shit! Shit! Shit! I held on to the phone like it was my last breath. Nagsimulang mag sikip ang dibdib ko.
"I don't know no one's answering. Hello? Sino to?" He sounded bored. Fuck him!
"Babe gusto mo sabayan kita?" He ended the call laughing like a maniac! Of course he was kidding. I know he was kidding. He SHOULD be kidding! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!!!!!!! Binasag ko ang telepono. I threw it against the wall. My bill in this room would be extravagant. I have to get her back. But where can they be? Shit! Kaylangan kong ayusin to I have to see summer and her fucking cousin! He will pay dearly. Naligo ako ng mabilis at nag pack ng gamit. Tinawagan ko si manang para mag pasundo.
*ring...ring*
"Nay? Pasundo mo ako kay Archie. Uuwi akong Bacolod."
"Sige tatawag ako sa Kuya mo."
"Okay. Nay tell Kuya I need to be in Bacolod in the next hour or two okay?"
"Oo sige. Naku ikaw na bata ka kung ano ano nanaman ang naisip mo ha!"
"I'll behave nay. Thank you. I love you. I'll get her back."
"Bigyan mo sya ng panahon anak. Wag kang padalos dalos at baka lalong magalit sayo."
"Okay. Bye nay."
Phasing back and forth packing my things. Need to be with her the soonest. Kasalukuyang nag aayos ako ng mag ring ang phone ko.
*ring..ring*
"Hello?"
"What's this shit about tim?!" Justyn's voice booming on the other line.
"Kuya! Tell Archie to get me from bora same place. I need to get to Bacolod. It's Steph."
"What happened to Steph?" And I proceeded on telling him the full story.
"Okay, I'll ask Archie to fetch you. Alam mo na kung saan sya lalapag. I'll call summer to see where she is.
Wag kang uuwi kay lola okay?"
"Understood. Thanks brother. I'll fix my things." I ended the call, took a bath and in 30 minutes I'm ready to go. I billed out and asked them to bill the total damage to our company and left for Bacolod.
