My heart suddenly constricted when he said those words. He passed out because of too much alcohol intake.
I checked my wristwatch and saw that it was almost three thirty am. I need to leave. Tumayo na ako at akmang lalabas na sana ng kwarto niya when he shifted and called my name. I sighed before facing him.
"C-cassidy," he called again.
Mariin kong nahawakan ang door knob. "I'm here."
He was still asleep. Hanggang ngayon pala he still sleep talks. Napangiti ako nang wala sa sarili.
But, kailangan ko nang umalis.
"Please. D-don't leave me," ungol niya.
Muli akong lumingon, nagitla sa nahimig ko sa boses niyang may takot.
I heaved a sigh before sitting next to him on his bed. Hinaplos ko 'yong buhok niya. "I'm not going anywhere, big guy," mahina kong sambit.
I know I'm eventually gonna regret it but screw everything. Kukunsintihin ko muna ang katangahan ko, kasi bukas, balik na naman sa normal ang lahat. I gave him one last look before dragging his spare pillow on the couch.
Tonight I won't lie to myself. Tonight I'm gonna admit that I missed his presence. Because tomorrow, I'll have to face the truth that there's no Aaron and I. That there's a brick wall standing between the two of us.

I felt butterfly kisses on my face. I smiled. This is such a nice dream, I thought as I waited for another set of kisses. It came, then I felt lips on mine.
I don't wanna wake up yet. Kahit naalimpungatan na ako ay itinuloy ko parin ang tulog ko.
When I finally woke up, the sun was already high up. I panicked when I saw Aaron's bed disheveled. His blanket and bedsheet were pell-mell on his bed.
I heard water splashing inside his bathroom. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag. Lalabas na sana ko pero naalala kong baka masakit pa ang ulo no'n dahil sa hangover.
Kumuha ako ng gamot pantanggal hilo at sakit ng ulo. Inilagay ko ang mga ito sa bedside table niya with a glass of water.Pagkatapos ay patakbong bumaba ako. I moved stealthily so he won't be able to hear me go. Nang malapit na ako sa pinto niya ay natuod ako sa puwesto ko. Staring at me is a huge portrait of myself.
It was taken in Bicol, the night we went to the amusement park.
I breathed deeply to calm my raging nerves. Hindi ko 'to napansin no'ng pumasok ako kagabi dahil madilim. But now, it's staring at me and perforating holes in my system.
Oh, Aaron. Pinilit ko ang sarili kong talikuran ito. I had to remind myself that I needed to go. Nagmamadali akong lumabas and I was almost relieved nang makapa ko ang susi ng kotse sa bulsa ng jeans ko. Sumakay ako and off I went.
