Skylar's PoV

"Andi? Hey?" Nagulat ako when someone suddenly hugged me and when I looked at her she just buried her face on my back

"Hey?" Sabi ko pagkaharap sa kanya sabay alis ng headset ko. I wanted to listen to music loud but I can't amplify it dahil tulog si Andi kaya nagheadset ako.

"Hey... what's wrong?"

"Akala ko umalis ka..."

"Why would I?"

"I was calling your name but you're not answering... I got scared, I don't know I'm sorry"

"Hey... no. Sorry. I didn't hear you because of the music... slept well?"

She just nodded but she's still looking down

"Hey... lighten up."

"I don't know what to feel. Hindi naman tayo pero ganito ako sayo. You don't even have feelings for me pero eto ako... nakatira sa bahay mo, acting all clingy forgetting everything as if everything's fine when it's not"

"Andi..."

"Sky... tell me? Why are you doing this? I can just choose to not bother you. I know I told you before I need to be sure that nothing's formed after that night, but then... sht happened. I can just go back home Sky. Hindi ka naman obligado ehh. I just suddenly felt that everything I'm doing right now is not right"

I exhaled deeply sa narinig ko bago ko pinatay ang stove at hinawakan ang kamay niya papuntang salas

"Lika" sabi ko sabay higit sa kanya paupo. She's not even looking at me

"Andi, look at me" sabi ko sabay hawak sa baba niya so I can see her face

"You... you are important to me. I hate to admit it before kasi, it's only been what? Weeks? But everytime I see you, this" sabi ko as I pointed to my heart "this beats fast because of you. Bastos na kung bastos but I even get aroused by your presence. I don't know what all this is about but I am firm to what I said, hindi kita hahayaang umalis sa buhay ko. Kayo ng anak ko"

"Sky..."

"That night? I don't see it as a mistake. I know we did it out of being drunk, I even pushed you away, but that's because of me getting scared to hurt you, not getting scared na nakabuntis ako. I don't want to see another girl crying Andi. Ayokong matulad ka sa nanay ko"

I fixed her hair, she's in a messy look but she's damn beautiful

"Don't think that you're not special to me, because you are, Andi. I'd protect you from anything. Kahit ikamatay ko pa yun"
