The Cold Guy Likes Me

Chapter 19: WISH

*Lucas' POV*

She saw Gwen kissed Drake.

I'm too late. Nais ko sana yakapin siya bago niya pa makita pero huli na.

"Don't." I warned her not to cry.
"Don't you dare Kennedy."

I warned her again but tears started to stain my shirt. She keeps on sobbing. Alam kong nasasaktan siya and I can't do anything to stop the tears. I just let her cry in my arms and I just stood hugging her.

It hurts. It hurts me more.

I rested my chin on the top of her head. I kissed her hair which she didn't felt. We stood there for a couple of minutes when someone spoke.

"Ano yan ha?" William asked. He don't know what really is going on.

Kennedy heard him kaya kumawala siya sa yakap ko at umatras.

"Sorry." She looked down and ran inside the house.

"Bro..." William said.
"What?"
"What happened?" Curious na tanong ni William ngunit di ko siya sinagot.
"Nagugutom ako." I left him there at tumungo sa sand bags at umupo.

I'll let her alone muna. I'll talk to her later.

Everybody is having fun not even knowing Kennedy is in pain. Di na ko mapakali kaya pumasok na ko ng bahay. I checked downstairs pero wala siya. I went upstairs and checked every doors I see. One room remained at medyo naka-awang ang pinto.

I opened the door. She's sitting in her bed covering her face. She's still crying.

"Kennedy..." She looked up. The room is dark at tanging ang ilaw galing sa labas na tumatagos sa bintana ang liwanag sa loob ng kwarto.
"Lucas..."

I sat down at the foot of her bed. She just watched me. Nangibabaw ang katahimikan sa loob ng kwarto. Wala sa amin ang nagsasalita. Mga hikbi niya ang aking naririnig. She suddenly stopped.

"Sorry..."
I looked at her.
"Ba't ka magsosorry? Bakit may ginawa ka bang mali?" Tanong ko
"I made your shirt wet."
"Tss. That's not the important."
"Pero may kasamang sipon yan"

I looked at her in horror at tiningnan ang damit ko. She laughed at muling tumingin ako sa kanya.

"Pft. Magagalit ka na naman." She said.
"No...but .. but please don't cry."
She looked at me shocked.
"Did I say something wrong?" I ask innocently.
"Kailan ka pa worried?"
Iniwas ko ang tingin sa kanya.

"I'm not. Ang pangit mo lang tingnan."
"Aww" Sinipa niya ako and she became silent again.

I opened the small box I'm holding and took the other wish bracelet that she gave earlier.

I took her hand and to my surprise she just let me.

"Why..."
"Shhh."

Isinuot ko sa kanya ang bracelet and I looked at her in the eyes.

"I wish that you'll also find happiness. Don't let one person affect your whole being. Continue to smile like you used to because that smile is also someone's reason to smile. I wish that you'll be able to find the love that you deserve because you are worth loving."

She stared at me and I did the same. I smiled and added,

"Wag mong tatanggalin yan kung ayaw mong malasin."

*Blag*

The loud sound made us jump and the door opens wider revealing William, August, Aurora and Kian.

"Retreat! Retreat! Abort mission!" Sigaw ni William at isinara ang pinto.

"I guess we need to go back."
"I need to wash my face first." She said and went inside the restroom.
