There was a total silence between us until we got to my condominium building.
I immediately took off my seatbelt but his hands were also so quick on holding my wrist.
"Kia..." He uttered. I look at him in the eyes, it screams pain, longing, sadness, and everything I could see in my eyes everytime I think that everything between us is nothing but a huge SIN.
"Vince, please..." My voice broke.
He closed his eyes shut and left the driver's seat to open the door for me instead. I got out of his car and just when I did, I saw Jerome standing five meters away from us. His eyes scream rage and in an instant, Vince is already lying down the floor.
"I already told you to stay away from Ate!" He screamed and was about to punch Vince again but I held him by the shoulders.
"Please enough..." I said, crying, so Jerome backed down and held my hand instead.
"The next time you go anywhere near Ate, I will fucking sue you." He said before pulling me away, leaving Vince out there with a blood shot eye and a broken lip.
"Ate naman, how many times do I have to lecture you? Paulit ulit na lang tayo eh!" Jerome slammed the table. "I just want what's best for you, bakit ba hindi mo na lang layuan yung gagong yun? Ate he's no good for you-"
"Jerome I tried okay? I freaking tried!" I went on my knees and cried. "I just can't... especially when he showed up again." I sobbed.
"You want me to request for a TRO? I'll get one from you just please-"
"Enough okay? Please!" I said, mad and hurt. "I already know that everything is wrong. You don't have to make me feel dumb as if I never realized it. Nasasaktan na ako, please lang."
"Alam mo naman pala eh bakit ayaw mo pang tumigil?" I looked at him unbelievably. "Ang illogical lang kasi ate, hindi ka naman ganyan eh. Hindi ka ganyan."
Yeah right. I've always been logical. Heartless.
"Wag ka nang mag mahal kung gagawin mo lang din tanga ang sarili mo." He knelt down and hugged me tight. "Wag mo rin akong kausapin o kitain kung wala kang balak tigilan yan." My eyes widened but before I could even react he already left the door.
Fuck everything.
Ilang araw na kaming hindi nag uusap ni Vince, he haven't contacted me since the fight between him and Jerome. As for Jerome, he really did it. No text. No call. No appearance. NOTHING.
"Miss Rukia, here are the designs you were asking for the engagement party." Wala naming ginawa yung intern na nag abot sakin ng folder pero sinamaan ko sya ng tingin. Fear filled her eyes and took a step backwards.
"Get out." I said in monotone and she came rushing out the door.
People fearing me isn't a new thing. Everyone have always been scared of me since I was a kid, I have a limited number of friends and I don't really get along with everyone. Si Jerome lang yata ang tagumpay na nakapagtiis sa ugali ko at sa lahat. And now I'm losing him because of this bullshit.
I've always been distant with my family so they were never surprised when I told them I'm leaving the house. Maybe it was a breath of fresh air for them even, since I've always been the one who puts pressure in the family.
It's not my nature to push myself to people who don't like me either.
Kung ayaw nyo sakin edi wag, mamamatay rin kayong lahat.
My eyes caught the folder the intern gave me earlier.
Guess this is the one for the pilot's surprise engagement party.
