Treat you better

"'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can; and any girl like you deserves a gentleman, tell me why are we wasting time on all your wasted crying when you should be with me instead? I know I can treat you better, better than he can."

"Kisses, you okay?"

I called her, I heard something was up kaya I immediately called her after my taping. And I am no longer seeing the smile she has that I adore so much.

"Yeah." She said on the other line.

I sighed. Damn, why do I have to ask the obvious? She's not okay, she's not fucking okay. But I wanted to tell her na everything will be okay.

"I'll see you later, Kisses."

I said as she hangs up. I know, ang dami dami niyang pinoproblema ngayon. Pero, bakit kaya ganoon? Kung sino pa yung handang magbigay ng sobra siya pa yung binabash at hinihate ng mga tao?

After my MYX taping dumiretso na kami sa ASAP studio. I'll be promoting something kaya naman makikita ko si Kisses. I needed to talk to her rin in person. Ang hirap kapag sa call lang.

Nang nakarating na kami sa studio ay sinabi na rin sa akin na nagrerehearse na sina Kisses. Hindi na muna ako pinapunta doon dahil kakausapin pa daw ako para sa appearance ko mamaya.

"Kalma, we got this." Sabi ng RM ko pagkatapos akong kausapin ni direk. "Kalma na."

I smiled at her. Nakita ko naman si kuya Robi kaya nilapitan ko na kasabay naman ng pagpasok nila Kisses. She's smiling pero hindi umaabot sa tenga niya and her eyes are telling na they are tired already.

"Makakamove on din siya." Kuya Robi said and taps my shoulder.

"I.. uh, I can't let myself see her like this, Kuya Robi." I said.

"Kahit naman kami." Kuya Robi said. I sighed, he taps my shoulder again at nagpaalam na.

Everyone thought that until now Kisses likes Marco. I don't know what should I feel about that because the girl who attracts me the most is hurting because of someone who isn't worth it.

"Yo, bro!" Marco beamed at me.

"Hey." I greeted back.

"What's wrong?" He asked me.

I shrugged and left him to look for Kisses again. Yeah, I maybe rude to Marco but we're talking about Kisses here. I asked the staff if they saw Kisses and they said na nasa rooftop siya. Pagpasok ko palang ay naririnig ko na yung pagiyak niya, like she cried for the nth time because of.. I don't know if si Marco pa rin ba ang reason niya.

I sat next to her. She looked at me and tried to smiled but she failed.

"Don't smile, Kisses." I said. "You don't have to pretend in front of me."

She looked away. "Ayaw ko malungkot, promise.. pero nalulungkot talaga ako."

I sighed and taps her shoulder. "It's okay."

"Unti unti na akong nauubos." Malungkot niyang sabi. "I am on the verge of giving up."

"No, Kisses. You can make through this. Trust me, I know you can."

"It hurts, Donny."

I hugged her. I chose not to speak again. My father told me if a girl was crying you should hug her not make sermon to her. Just let her feel that she has someone who understands her.

"I can treat you better, Kisses." Bulong ko. "Ako nalang."

I whispered and hugged her tighter. Nasasaktan din ako, but I know you are the one who's hurting the most. She hugged me back and cries her heart out.
