"Stop using me" 
I laughed at what he said and looked at my swinging feet. I grabbed onto the railing that is the only thing that's preventing me from falling. I looked back at him and saw him standing there with his hands on his pockets looking effortlessly breathtaking. 
"What are you talking about?" 
"I mean it. I know why you're doing this. You've always felt rejected. Even before. Stop using me to change that. You don't need me to be better."

Tiningnan ko ang kaniyang umiigting na panga and I had this urge to touch them. But before I could, I heard him say the words that always made me freeze and blink.
