Demi's Invention °[KathNiel] ✓COMPLETE

XXIII- Texts

🌻Keam's Point of View:

Alam kong magkasama ngayon si Demi at ang boyfriend niya. But between her and Carlene, Demi's who I needed most right now. Siya 'yong mas makakaintindi sa'kin. Afterall, she's my bestfriend since I was five. Carlene walked in our lives when we're in third grade. 

My hopes rose up and somehow I felt a bit lightened up when I saw Wyatt's luxury car outside the house. He drove my bestfriend to me. Napangiti ako dahil ito 'yong pinangako ni Demi sa'kin na pipiliin niya 'yong lalaking hindi siya ipagkakait sa mga kaibigan niya.

"Sorry Demi. Kailangan ko lang ng makakausap. Feeling ko mababaliw ako."lumuluha na namang sambit ko habang sinalubong ko siya agad ng yakap. "Hindi ko alam kung tama 'yong ginawa ko. He explained, that Willow was just there to help him straighten things out in our relationship."

"Wait. Did you say Willow?"she asked making me wonder why she's interested in her.

"Yes. Willow. Mali 'yong iniisip natin kanina. Hindi siya babae ni Camden. Girlfriend siya ng kuya niya, si kuya Von?"kwento ko.

"You can't be serious. Keam, I talked about Willow with you all the time."

"You didn't!"

"Keam naman e, siya 'yong ex-girlfriend ni Wyatt. Siya 'yong sinasabi ko sa'yo."

Oh my gosh! No. Naikuwento nga niya sa'kin ng  paulit-ulit 'yon, no'ng nasa hospital si Wyatt after the accident. This is insane.

"I'll talk to Camden about it."I declared.

"I thought you broke up."

Oh. Yes. I forgot. With her reminding me that I have broken up with my almost four-year-in-a-relationship first love, I sobbed on her shoulders.

"I'm sorry I reminded you. Just tell me everything. Makikinig ako."she said kindly and my heart melted. I cried even harder.

Wala akong karapatang sumbatan siya kung may iba man siya dahil maging ako, I cheated on him. It guiltied me all the time kaya napaparanoid ako at lagi akong nagseselos. Tama nga sila, 'yong mga irrational na pagseselos, may pinanghuhugutan 'yon. Kung sino 'yong nagseselos kahit sa walang kwentang bagay, sila 'yong may itinatagong amoy, sila 'yong may ginagawang mali. I'm a living testimony for that.

I hated myself for being so stupid.

Tumakbo ako ng mabilis dahil ayaw kong maabutan ni Camden. Isang foreigner na medyo may kalakihan ang umapak sa sapatos ko at dahil tumatakbo ako, nahubad 'yon. Alangan naman hindi ko balikan e ang mahal no'n. Birthday gift ni Demi sa'kin ang sapatos na 'yon. That's the legend why Camden got me.

"I can explain that, Poo."he stated defensively. "It's not what you think, I promise."

"Tama na Camden. Ayoko na. Tapusin na natin 'to."umiiyak na bulong ko. Nasa tapat kami ng mismong entrance ng mall kaya pinagtitinginan kami ng mga dumadaan. Kaya lalo akong na-guilty. Camden doesn't want public exposure but he doesn't care now.

"Makinig ka muna sa'kin, okay? Keam, it's Willow. It's Kuya's girlfriend. Ang totoo niyan, I asked her stuff about our relationship. She wanted to help. I promise, Poo, I will never, ever, trade you for anyone or for anything."

Ang sikip ng dibdib ko. Demi's words echoed in my head. I know I have to tell him the truth. Dahil kung hihiwalayan ko siya ng walang konkretong dahilan, walang kwenta lang lahat. 

"Look Camden. Let's look at the brighter side of things. You can now be with anyone you want. Hindi na ako makikialam sa'yo." Huminto muna ako sa pagsasalita para hayaang kumawala 'yong luha ko at mapigilan ang paghikbi ko. "Wala ng magseselos. Aminin na natin Camden, nagiging unhealthy na 'yong relationship natin."
