The Stepsisters

36-Sorry

-Jared P.O.V-

I watched Steff eating together with Angelie and Clark. I smiled. Even I will left her I know she will never be alone now that Angelie will sticking with her.
Suddenly Cassy approach her.

"Hi Steff!"

"What do you want Cassy?"

"I heard Jared will leaving. Why? Did he got tired of you?"

"It's none of your business Cassy!"

"Hahaha! What a pathetic bitch! Kaya walang tumatagal sayo kasi wala kang kwentang tao."

"Shut up Cassy!"

"What are you thinking Steff? Akala mo ba mapapa-sunod mo lahat ng tao! Your just a fucking useless person!"

Lalapit na sana ako ng tumayo si Angelie at nagpagitna.

"Pwedi ba tumigil ka na Cassy? Bakit ayaw mo bang tigilan si Ate Steff?"

"Oh! Are you two now friends? Ano ba akala mo Angelie na matatakot ko ako. No way!"

"Alam ko. At akala mo rin ba masasaktan mo ako?"

"Angelie stop that!"

"Wag mo akong pigilan Steff."

"Whatever!"

"Hahaha! Bakit Angelie? Do you think Clark is serious on you? Your just also one of a deal!"

"Really Cassy? As far as I remember he turn you down. Akala mo ba wala akong alam."

"You bitch!"

Sasampalin sana siya ni Cassy pero nasalo niya ang kamay nito.

"Your the bitch here Cassy!"

*Slap*

"Para yan sa mga taong nasaktan mo!"

*Slap*

"Para naman ito kay Ate Steff pilit mong sinisira."

*Slap*

"At para naman ito sa planong saktan ako."

At tuluyan ng napa upo si Cassy sa lakas ng sampal ni Angelie. Agad naman siyang binuhusan ni Angelie ng tubig sa ulo.

"You should wake up Cassy. Hindi mo kami mga laruan."

"Hon stop that."

"Angelie stop that!"

Lumapit siya kay Angelie saka ito inilayo. Nagulat na lang kaming lahat ng lumapit siya kay Cassy saka itinayo at pinunasan ang mukha nito.

"Steff?"

"Ate Steff?"

"What are you doing bitch?"

"Here! Dry yourself Cassy."

Saka inabot ang panyo rito. Tinitigan siya ni Cassy ng may pagtataka.

"I don't know why you hate me that much Cassy. Kung may nagawa ako sayo para magalit ka sa akin ng husto then, I'm sorry."

"Your what?"

"I'm sorry Cass if I did something wrong to you. Let's stop this Cass. Let's grow up and be a mature woman."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm tired Cass. Sorry for everything I've done."

"Steff?"

She gave Cassy a hug then left them. Walang kahit sino ang gumalaw o nagsalita. Lahat ay nagulat sa inasal niya. Did she really do that? Ikaw na ba talaga yan Steff?
...........

Ganun na lang gulat ko nang mapag-buksan si Steff ng pinto. Why she's here? Damn it! I really miss her. She run to me and hug me tight.

"Steff?"

"I miss you."

Lumayo ako sa kanya saka siya dinala sa sala. We look at each other seriously.

"Why are you here Steff?"

"Please stay Jared."

"I already told I won't Steff."

Her tears start to flow. Shit! I pulled her and kissed her. Damn it! I really missed her. She hug me when our lips parted.

"Don't leave me Jared. You promise to me right?"

"Sometimes promises are meant to be broken Steff."

"Don't you love me anymore Jared?"

"I always love you Steff. But it's for the best for the two of us."

"How can you said that when that decision is hurting you."

"Time would heal Steff."

She faced me. Pain and sorrow written on her eyes. I know I hurt her but this is for our own good.

"Please stay Jared. I would do anything to make you happy."

"Be happy for yourself Steff. Not for me."

"I'm happy right here with you Jared."

Damn it! She's making it hard for me. Tumayo ako saka tumalikod sa kanya. I don't want to do this but I need to.

"You can now leave Steffanie!"

I heard her footstep. But I was surprised when she hug me from the back. Shit!

"Please Jared I'm begging you."

"I'm hurt Steff. I know you don't mean it because it's my choice on the first place."

"Jared?"

"I made you to be mine. Even if you never want it. I left you no choice."

"Don't say that Jared! I always had a choice. And I choose to be with you."

"Let's stop this one sided love Steff. We're just hurting the each other."

"I'm sorry if I hurt you Jared. Sorry for all the pain that I cause you. Sorry if I'm being unfair. I'm so sorry Jared."

"Don't be Steff."

She hug me tight. I face her and cupped her faced. I close my eyes and kissed her tenderly. A kissed that full of feelings. A sweet one.

"I love you Steff."

"I hate you Jared."

"Yeah! I know you hate me that much."

"I hate you for making me feel this way."

"I'm sorry. But for now I have to say goodbye."

Lumayo siya sa akin. She wiped her tears away and smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry for everything Jared. But I will never sorry for hating you."

"I understand."

She start to walk away. She stop on the door while holding the doorknob. She called my name. I look at her. Nakatalikod lang siya sa akin at hindi lumingon.

"I really hate you."

Alam ko naman ei. Simula noon hanggang ngayon. She will always hate her jerk-asshole-stupid bestfriend.

"I hate you for making me realized that I'm madly inlove with you."

I gasp. What did she said? Napatingin ako sa pintong nakasarado na. Hindi ako makagalaw. Steff? Did you really told me that you love me? What should i do? Bakit Steff? Bakit mo sinabi yun? Are you really inlove with me?
