Keeping a secret love | Juan Gomez de Liano

EPILOGUE

I'm holding the ball, dribbling it going to the other side of the court. Giving my all for this do or die match for this season. Cold-blooded, I pull up and throw the ball while I am at the logo of this coliseum.

"Gomez de Liano, three!" The announcer said but my eyes we're locked on the side of the court.

She was shouting, as crowd began to be wild. She's liking the thrill, then our eyes met.

"Time-out," the personnel announced.

My eyes never left hers, that why I winked while I'm going to the bench. She blushed and giggle. I can't explain how this girl make everything possible.

"Gomez de Liano!" Mr. Sevillano exclaimed.

This was the first time my name was called in the middle of the class not to recite, but to be scolded.

I turn my head to him, from staring at the window my eyes threw a bored look at him.

"You're about to fail this subject, and yet you're day dreaming! Are you taking this subject seriously or do you want me to pull you out of the varsity?" He threatened me. His eyes were ready to crawl, his veins were cursing.

This is what I hate, I hate to fall and I hate to fail..

Falling in love was not my intention, I was there to be with her all the times cause she lighten up everything with me. But how? How should I do that? She's my best friend and she was my everything.

"I'm sorry, Mister.." I apologize to my professor as if he can solve my problems.

After my class I immediately go to the rooftop of the building to relax myself and breath a fresh air. What should I do to make this stop? Do I need to tell her? But what if she can't accept my love for her? She will leave me? I have a lot of question in my mind, I'm drowning. I don't know how to save myself. As I step towards the view, a girl standing on the edge of the terrace were ready to finish her life.

"Hey!" I shouted.

She turn her head on me then I slowly walk towards her. Her hair is messy, eyes were swollen full of tears, she look very sad.

"Hey... don't move... I got you... I got you..." I offered my hand to her. She's about to refuse my offer but I held her body and bring her down. She wiggled but I held her more.

"Bakit mo 'yon ginawa?! Sana hinayaan mo na lang ako!" She sat like a lost kid, sobbing with her head on her knees.

"Hey, be calm..." I shushed her.

"Sana 'di mo na lang ako pinakialaman! Tapos na sana eh!" She didn't try to look at me.

"End what? You can't resolve any problems by ending your life," I sat beside her.

"You don't know me," She spat. 

"No judgement," She look at me.

Then she start to tell me her story, she was abused when she was a child. As she grow her trauma is worsening and by that she want to end her life because for her it's the only thing that can help her resolve it.

"You can conquer it, Juliana." I comfort her.

"Can you help me?" She look at me with her fluffy eyes.

She's beautiful but not like Kaela, she has expressing eyes firm size of body. I know that Juliana is part of our cheering squad because sometimes I saw her in one of our games.

"Juan?" She called my name.

"Yes, I will help.." She smiled sweetly.

I think this will be a big help for me to forget my feelings for Kaela, that rules is one of the most thing I hate right now. So I know by this, I am breaking that rules. I arranged everything between me and Juliana, I want to get to know her and we'll try to work things out.
