C48 forty eight

I wiped my face. I'm tired of crying and wiping tears because it's just repeating. I thought things would be okay because of his new behavior.

He acted like he's willing to risk something just for me! But he didn't!

He's just acting!

I sighed as I felt my chest tighten again. It felt like a sharp dagger was piercing my chest. Because the pain is unbearable and it feels like I won't be able to handle it much longer.

I tried to hold back the tears but my body seemed to betray me. I just felt my shoulders trembling suddenly.

I looked straight ahead as I dragged my suitcase. I couldn't even look at my friends following me. I felt embarrassed because I felt like I'm not the friend they knew anymore.

Because now, all I feel whenever I'm with them is pain.

Because whenever I'm with them, my mind wanders.

"That jerk, If I find out he's two-timing you with someone else again, I might kill him. He's an animal, he already had your trust in him. How dare him to make you cry a million times? Bullshit!" Samuel's voice trembled with anger.

He angrily shoved my suitcase into the car. He released a series of deep sighs. I could feel that he might explode in anger at any moment.

I sighed and closed my eyes.

I hugged Mawi and Angel.

I gave them a brief smile before finally moving away. It's annoying to think that because of one guy, I'll be separated from my friends. I'll be separated from the place where I grew up.

But it's even more annoying if I try to stay even though I know I could break down anytime.

I don't want to go back to Cavite, There are many beautiful places to go to but I used to be here in Manila.

But maybe this is a sign for me to come back to be with Ate.

"Buckle up! Straighten up, Yor. Don't let that guy ruin your life! You're not the Yoreh we know anymore. Look at your face, your eyes are so swollen from crying," he shouted at me before starting the car.

I fell silent because of what he said.

I told him everything that happened again. He even almost looked for Cyrus just to beat him up.

I'm touched.

He sighed. "I'm sorry for acting like this. I just really don't want to see you hurt because you're my girlfriend's sister and I consider you my sister too," he said softly before biting his lip.

I just took a deep breath. I know that I look pitiful in front of him and my friends.

I'm pathetic.

I feel sorry for myself.

I suddenly sat up and slightly touched my chest when I heard the loud ringing of my cellphone in my pocket.

For some reason, my thoughts suddenly became chaotic.

What if it's him calling?

"Answer that, Tell him you won't give him a chance. You don't deserve what he does to you. You're not an object or anything that he can hurt anytime," he said angrily.

I quickly looked away, I swallowed hard.

I took my phone and he wasn't wrong because it was a picture of me and Cyrus and his name that appeared on the screen.

I answered it trembling and trying to hold back my anger.

Deceiver!

Hypocrite!

I bit my lip to stop myself from speaking.

"B-baby? Where are you? I'm here at your apartment and I'm asking Angel where you are. They're not answering me and your clothes are not in your cabinet. Please, Don't tell me you change your decision? You promise.. that you won't leave.. that you won't abandon me.. then w-why?" His voice trembled.

I couldn't help but laugh along with the tears streaming down my eyes.

I chuckled "Just wow," I said shaking my head. "Don't look for me anymore. Your attitude is terrible! You have the audacity to hurt me over and over again!" I sighed.

He fell silent again.

"You're so mean.. all I did was to love you.. but you? All you did was to make me cry.. hurt me over and over again," I held back a sob. "What did I do to deserve this from you? Why are you punishing me like this?
