PHILOPOBIA

"You're not afraid of love
You're afraid to be loved"

I'm Hobi , 16 years old.
I'm no ordinary boy.
I have this phobia called Philopobia.
It's fear of love .
I'm an orphaned and I don't even know why.
I'm living alone in my own house.
My bestfriend's mom is taking care of me.

"Heyow! Hobibie! Morning!"

"What the hell get off!"

My bestfriend Aeryn is trying to pigyback on me.
We're bestfriend since then .

I remember when I was 5 ,she came into my house with her Lil Bunny and try to comfort me.
Im not just afraid of love I'm also afriad of the dark.
She's the only child of Tita Havey the one who's taking care of me.
We're bestfriend but I don't even look at her like that .
I'm afraid of love that's why all the people around me is just a thing I need to survive and tell to myself that I'm human and having a normal life.

"I said don't call me like that !" pissed tone

"Hobibie!!!" she shouts and shout.

Demn this girl.
I decided to put on my headphone .

But there she goes .
Trying to steal my headphone to give her my full attention.
And guess what she always wins.
Were like that everyday.

"You have a good taste huh" she said while listening to the music.

"Tsk ! Akin na nga yan, Pakialamera !"

"Ako!!! Pakialamera!! The hell!!" and there goes the punching session.

She's a small size girl so I can defend myself without hurting her.

"Fuck ! Tigil na nga para kang bata!" I said

"At ngayon immature naman! Haist!!" Sinugod niya ako .

And for the last second she slipped and there goes for the romantic way of catching the girl and looking straight on her eyes and then there goes the confession.

Eww that cheesy way.
That doesn't even exist in real world.

The reality is ,
Yep she slipped and I let her butt hit the cement,
Welp deserve her right.

"Ouch!" She exclaimed while sitting on the road.

"Hey tumayo ka nga dyan nakakahiya .Pinagtitinginan tayo!" sabi ko rito.

"Himp! Shumpp" I heard from her.

Don't tell me she's going to cry!

"Oh fuck not here Ae" I said in disbelief.

Tinungo ko ito at tiningnan fuck may sugat ang tuhod niya.

"Hey look at me" I said

She raised her head and I saw her crying .
I don't know what to do but I need to comfort her!

"Ohh sheesh!!hey stop crying" I said while caressing her hair.

Tiningnan niya lang ako

"Hey I'm sorry okay" I said.

"Bat di mo ko sinalo?"

Nabigla ako sa tanong niya.
Welp bakit nga ba? Kung sinalo ko sana siya edi sana di to nangyari.
Fuck self! you dimwit.

"I'm sorry okay. Promise from now on di na kita hahayaang mahulog. I'll catch you even if it means that I'll fall too" I said and smile.

She smile and suddenly hugs me .
I hugged her back .
It's so warm.
It's my first time to feel this warm.
To be hugged.

I think I'm living a normal life together with her.
I have purpose.
And that's protecting her.
I don't want her to be hurt .
I feel pain whenever I saw her crying.
I don't know what it is, but if it's the way for me to be normal then i'll go for it.
Even if it means to cope my fears .
To fight my Philophobia .
