The Break-Up List

2 The Break Up List

I woke up hastily grabbing my phone, it's in my norm to check it every morning because I know there are msgs from Reed. Always. But right now, as I stared at it, I realised there will be no msgs coming up because he is gone.

He left me already. I sighed. 

I checked the time, it's already 4pm in the afternoon I thought morning palang. Haaay iba pala talaga kapag broken hearted ka, sobrang lutang mo. Thank goodness it's Saturday. Half day lang ako every sat, so I've got a chance to rest.

Kailan ba ako masasanay na wala na talaga siya? That he is already gone for good? 

It's been a week since we broke up but the pain is still the same. Mas lalo pa yatang sumasakit as time goes by. I got too attached, too comfortable kaya in the end ako yung mukhang tanga ngayon. Ganun naman sa relationship diba, there will always someone who will love more, who will care more and who will invest more. 

Unfortunately, sa aming dalawa ni Reed ako yung mas nagmahal kaya ako yung mas nasasaktan ngayon.

Every day, I keep on texting him asking for one more chance. I'm  stupid, am I not? Ni isa wala siyang sinasagot sa mga msgs ko. I didn't even see him sa school. Baka pinagtataguan ako. Or maybe he's just busy.

*beep beep*

I looked at my phone, umaasa na baka si Reed 'yon but ended up being disappointed again. 

From: Tori

Cousin! Asan ka na? Don't tell me nagmumukmok ka na naman diyan?! Dito na kami sa coffee shop ni Brea. Bilisan mo ha! Daming cuties dito!

Napailing nalang ako kay Tori. She's my cousin. She's been with me through thick and thin and she's the one who keeps reminding me that Reed is up to no good daw. Sobrang tutol siya sa aming dalawa kaya ngayong break na kami ni Reed sobrang saya niya at kinacareer pa ang pagiging matchmaker. Brea is friend of ours naman. May two friends pa kami. Si Maia at Sue, dorm mates ang dalawang yun kaya palaging magkasama. Ang coincidence nga kasi nagclick kaming lima considering na magkakaiba kami nang mga ugali. Brea is one tough woman. Muntikan pa nga silang magaway ni Tori the first time we met pero ngayon tandem na sila sa pagpplano kung paano ako makakamove on kay Reed. Sue is the same as Brea. Pero mas nakakapagpigil pa naman si Brea compared kay Sue. That girl doesn't know how to filter her words. Maia is the silent type pero napakaobservant. Medyo nerd din at mahilig sa mga korean dramas at otaku ba 'yon? Tori is the girl next door. And then there's me. The awkward one.

 I sighed again. Even though i've got my heart broken, I have my best friends with me. Silver lining number 1 diba? 

Tumayo na ako sa bed at dumiretso na sa cr para maligo ulit. Naghihintay yung dalawa sa akin ngayon since may "break-up lists" daw sila na ginawa para sa akin. 

After quite some time, natapos na din ako.  I don't feel like dressing up today so I grabbed my jeans and shirt. I applied some make up to hide my bags and breakouts due to stressed, my red lippies, brush my wavy hair and I'm off to go.

"Girl! So tagal ha! Kanina pa kami dito. Nakailang frappe na nga ako kakahintay sayo! Treat mo na next order ko ha!" 

That's Brea. 

"Oo nga cous, nadagdagan na naman ako nang 5 pounds sayo grabe napuyat ka na naman siguro kakahintay sa replies nang gagong 'yon 'no?" Tori added.

No sign of Maia and Sue. Probably busy sa acads nila.

Umupo muna ako sa vacant chair bago ako sumagot sa mga tanong nila. "I'm not 'no. Nag binge read and eat lang ulit ako. Where's Maia and Sue?"
