The Stepsisters

14-Boys night

-Clark P.O.V-

She left with him. They're gone already. Pero andito pa rin ako. Lahat kami ay nagulat sa nakita.

"Is that Steff before?"

"Akala ko ba hindi marunong magtagalog yun."

"Ang lambing ng boses niya no."

"Oo nga. Para siyang anghel."

They we're right. Steff was like an angel before. You will love her once you met her. But she change after her mother died. Pero yung kanina. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Lalo na yung tumakbo siya kay Jared at yumakap dito. That was not the Steff we've known.

"Clark?"

I look at her. Itinayo niya ako saka kami umalis. Tumuloy kami sa clinic para gamutin ang sugat ko.

"Ayos ka lang Clark?"

"Yeah!"

"Yung kanina? That was the real Steff right?"

"Yeah! The fragile one. An Angel."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

I smiled at her remembering the past.

"Steff used to be a sweet one. She can't even pick a fight. But everything change after her mom died. She became fearless and tough."

"Baka itinatago niya lang?"

"Maybe! Oh baka hindi talaga."

"Huh?"

"It's Jared. When she's with Jared she became true to herself and to her feelings."

"Yeah! She's a different person when they we're together."

"Let's go Angelie."

Umalis na kami. Hinatid ko na rin siya.

"Salamat Clark."

"Your welcome."

Pareho kaming napatingin sa kotseng tumigil. Bumaba si Jared saka siya pinagbuksan.

"Thanks Jared."

"Just for you babe."

He winked that made Steff blushed. I never saw her blushed before. Jared had really that effect on her. She smiled sweetly and hug him then she walk away. As she look at us her mood change immediately. It's not the sweet one anymore.

"Ate Steff?"

"Don't talk to me Angelie."

"Pero Steff."

Sabay na silang pumasok sa loob ng bahay. Lumapit na rin ako sa kotse para umalis ng mag-aya si Jared na uminom. Bumili kami ng inumin saka nag inuman sa tabi ng dagat.

"Pasensya na bro. When it comes to her I can't help myself."

"I deserve that Jared."

He smiled bitterly as we sat on the shore watching the moon above.

"Anong plano mo Clark?"

"Kailangan kong itama ang lahat Jared. After all Angelie is helping me."

"You do really like that woman that much huh."

"Yeah! I think I'm falling."

"How about Steff? Aren't you going to consider her feelings?"

"She have you Bro. I know you love her more than anyone could do."

"She loves you Clark."

"Pero hindi gaya ng pagmamahal niya sayo Jared."

He looked at me. Tumayo siya saka inayos ang sarili.

"She doesn't love me Clark. I'm just a bestfriend and a shoulder to cry on for her."

I saw him smiled bitterly. Pareho silang nabubulag ni Steff sa katotohanan. I know that Steff is inlove with her for the long time but never realize it. Steff doesn't love me at all. She's just obsess knowing that I'm a perfect boyfriend materia. Yes, she hates Jared being a jerk and an asshole. But other than that she loves him that much. Tumayo ako saka siya tinapik sa braso niya.

"She loves you bro. I saw it everytime she get jealous when girls around you."

Tiningnan niya lang ako saka nagsimulang maglakad pabalik sa kotse.

"Jared?"

He look at me.

"Take care of her. Ikaw lang ang nagpapalambot sa kanya."

Tumango lang siya saka umalis. I smiled. I hope things will be okay someday.

*Bzzz*

I look at my phone. It's Angelie.

"Yes princess?"

"Did I disturb you?"

"No. Why?"

"I just want to check if your okay. Nakita ko kayo ni Jared na nag usap kanina."

"I'm fine. Jared is a friend. You don't have to worry Angelie."

"I can't help it."

I smiled. Isa ito sa mga nagustuhan ko sa kanya. She cared too much on the people around her. Even Steff.

"Bakit kasi hindi mo na lang ako sagutin?"

"Err. Clark?"

"I can say your blushing right now."

"Hi..hindi ah!"

"Kaya ka ba nauutal?"

"Che! Ewan ko sayo!"

"Hahaha! I will be fine Angelie. Don't worry."

"You sure?"

"Yeah! You should sleep now it's getting late."

"Okay! Goodnight Clark."

"Goodnight princess. Take care!"

I hung up. Umuwi na rin ako saka nagpahinga. It's a bad day. I just hope tomorrow will be a good one.
