LOVING A NIGHTMARE

CHAPTER 15

Chapter Fifteen

After playing basketball we even played badminton and chess! And it's so fun!

It's midnight almost time to say goodbye.

Nasa isang bangin kami nakatingin sa buwan. He's holding my hands. My head is on his shoulder again.

"I will miss you, Celestia."

"Me too, Zeus. I'll miss you."

"If we can just be together... I'll come with you."

"No. Be with your parents, Zeus. Love them for me... and for yourself."

"I don't know if I'll still have the ability to love if you weren't here anymore."

"As long as your heart beats you can love."

"I really can't come with you?"

"I don't know Zeus.. But don't come with me. Because my heart will stay. It's with you honey. "

He sighed.

"Don't worry. I'll ask Hel if I can visit."

"Your close with her?"

"Well, She's my aunt." I chuckled.

"I love you." His words made my heart beats like crazy.

"I love you too..."

"Damn, baby! Your making my chest pound!"

"You do the same with me. But, Zeus... If you can love again. Please love again. Don't restrain your self of loving someone else." I wipe my tears as I said those words.

"How I can love again? when I'm smitten with you! Damn! We're destined for each other baby... If I can just rewrite the stars." He said weakly. I remember a certain song.

"Stand up! We'll dance!" I smiled.

"Sure!" He also wiped my tears.

"Hush, baby I don't want to see you cry..." He said weakly.

I put my hands on his shoulder and he put his on my waist.

"You know I want you it's not a secret I tried to hide." I sing with all my heart as the wind blew my heart.

"I know you want me..." He's baritone voice was so nice to hear. Ano kaya ang hindi niya kayang gawin?

He snapped his hand and the song played.

"Your so beautiful." Aniya at sinumping ang takas na buhok sa aking tainga.

"Your so handsome." I smiled.

"You complimented back! This is a miracle!"

Tinampal ko ang balikat niya.

"Eh ikaw nga palagi akong tinatawag na grotesque!" I spat.

"That's the opposite of what I want to tell you..." Aniya

"Is that true?" I accused.

"Of course! You're very beautiful."

"Celestia Ariadne..." Bulong niya at hinawakan ang aking kamay.

"Hmm... Yes Zeus Lancelot?" I asked. My head was buried on his shoulders.

"Are you happy now?"

"More than happy, sweetie pie." I whispered.

"This is our first day baby..." Bulong niya sa aking tenga.

"This is?" I look up to him.

"Yeah... We couldn't have a proper date before." He sadly answered. My heart aches at that.

"Glad that we finally had!" I said.

"This is just my daydream back then..." He trailed off.

"And this is my nightmare. Met a guy who always tell me that I'm a grotesque! You know what... men are my nightmare. But when I met you... I'm loving this nightmare." My tears started falling again.

"Hush... I hate it when your crying..." Aniya kahit may luha ding tumutulo sa kanyang mga mata.

"Mahal kita... mahal na mahal. Iiwan ko sa'yo ang puso ko. Magmahal ka Zeus... Mahalin mo si Ophelia kahit may pagkastrikta siya... Mahalin mo si Haring Ares at Reyna Celeste mahal ko sila... Mahalin mo si Ama at Ina... At higit sa lahat mahalin mo ang sarili mo. Kasi mahal na mahal na mahal kita." I smiled weakly.

Time fly fast if your with someone you love.

"Mahal din kita... Mahal na mahal... Kung sana lang ay may magagawa ako para sa'yo. Pero wala akong kwenta!"

"No! Your not worthless! Loving me is more than worth it! Iyong pinaramdam mo sa akin habang nandito ako, sapat na 'yun. Pagmamahal mo sa kin ay higit pa sa sapat! Your worth fighting for Zeus. But I can't! I'm sorry!"

"It's not your fault!"

"I love you, Zeus..." I smiled weakly.

"I love you very much." And in the moonlight We kissed with all our Heart.

A shiny Light appeared im front of us. Consisting Hel!

She smiled at us.

"Did I say about the true love's kiss? I can't believe it. I didn't say about it because I don't believe in love anymore. And I don't want to give you false hope, Celestia. But I guess there is really true love for you. Another way to break the curse is true love's kiss. And you found your true love. A romantic one. Vesta is already free and you're also free now my niece be happy you two. But you'll forget everything after this. Don't worry you'll meet again. And that time you can love each other freely. Godspeed." And the light disappeared.

"I love you and see ya soon love." We hugged each other tightly before everything turns black.

"Let nightmares cross our paths again."

The sweetest goodbye... Full of hope that someday nightmares will cross our paths again.

"She's awake! Hade call the doctors!"

"Mommy... Why are we here?" I asked My mom surprised why we're here at the hospital.

"It's a long story honey... I'm glad you are awake!"

Ilang araw pagkatapos kung 'magising' ay nakabalik na kami sa bahay. Mom and Dad was still telling me nothing.

Pagdating na pagdating sa bahay ay agad akong nagtanong. Our mansion is still the same as I remember.

"What really happened? Why there's no one telling me?" Angil ko. The maids we're gasping.

"Anak... let's sit." Ani ng aking ina at umupo sa sofa. Si Dad ay nasa kanyang tabi.

"What sabihin niyo sakin!" I spat not minding the chairs and seat they're offering.

"Anak calm down... maselan ang kalagayan mo!" Father said.

Si Mommy ang nagsalita.

"It all started when a year ago... when your on the way to your prom. The car your riding with had no break. You got an accident, Celestia... Nahulog sa tulay ang sasakyan. Your driver died and you are in comatose for a year you suffered from traumatic head injury..."

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet
