A Scar That Evokes A Painful Past

( 6 ) Don't wait for me

Liam's POV:

"We had sex Liam"

It's been a month since that happened. I still greeted her a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year but I never went to their house.

Its January and I'm still shocked about that revelation. Hindi ko inaasahan na yun ang maririnig ko.

They were 14 and they had sex? Wtf. I don't know what to say kaya nagwalk out na lang ako noon. Wala akong mukhang maihaharap kay Therese ngayon. I'm so fucked up. I don't want to hear her explanation for now. I want time for myself.

Therese POV:

January na and I'm still devastated about what happened. I know he was shocked. I never wanted that incident. We were kidnapped and drugged.

I have trust issues kaya hindi wala akong pinagsabihan. My family knows about it and ofcourse my cousins. Hirap pa akong magopen up sa iba because of trust issues.

Sasabihin ko din naman talaga yon kay Liam once na sinagot ko siya. Hindi nga talaga natulog na sagutin ko siya nung Pasko.

I told my cousins about my problem. Nakinig naman sila sa akin and they comfort me. I needed them that time.

"Ate, are you okay?" lumingon ako sa nagsalita at si Althea yon.

"I'm not okay Irene, I will never be okay"

She hugged me and told me that everything will be fine.

I don't know what to do for now. Gusto kong kausapin si Liam pero wala akong mukhang maihaharap sa kanya.

Galit ako. Galit ako kay Christian. It was traumatizing for the both of us. Pero dahil gusto niya akong mapunta sa kanya, sinabi niya yon.

I liked Christian, before.

Kung hindi dumating si Liam, siguro naging kami ni Chris ngayon. But everything changed, because of that incident, mas nagstay pa ng mas matagal si Chris sa Manila para makalimot.

Its been years but the memoriea still haunts me every night. Umiiyak pa din ako gabi gabi kapag napapaginipan ko yon. Pumupunta ako sa kwarto nila Althea at Alessandra kapag napapaginipan ko yung mga ganon.

I want to see Liam.

But first I want to talk to Christian.

Christian's POV:

Hindi ko alam kung magiging masaya ba ako sa nangyari. Nakita ko kung paano umiyak si Hailey nung umalis si Liam sa harap niya. She was so devastated.

Hindi ko siya mayakap kasi I know its my fault.

I was wrong. But I needed to tell him the truth.

Gusto kong makita si Hailey ngayon para humingi ng tawad. I want her to give me a chance.

Nakahiga lang ako nang biglang tumunog ang phone ko.

*Love Calling

Hailey.

"Hello? Chris?" tanong nito na parang kinakabahan pa.

"Yes Hailey? Why did you call?"

"I want to talk to you, Christian. Please" nagsusumamo na pakiusap sa akin ni Hailey.

"Okay, meet me at the nearest coffee shop around you"

Then I ended the call.

I just wore a black tshirt and maong shorts. Gwapo naman ako sa lahat ng sinusuot ko so I don't bother choosing any clothes.
