Unbind the Strings

"What if Jay comes back? Iiwan mo na ba ako?" 

His eyes look hopeless right now. I can feel his fear and sadness as he looks at me straightly with no unnecessary movements. I am a bit clueless kasi hindi ko alam saan nanggaling 'yun. Nakakalimutan ko na si Jay why would he bring him up?

"What are you saying? Hindi na 'yun babalik. Saka hindi na dapat binabalikan ang mga ex. Goods na ako sa kung anong mayroon tayo ngayon. Huwag ka nang mag-isip ng kung anu-ano, ha? Hindi naman kita iiwan." I assured him while smiling at him sweetly. I saw his expression changed from sad to being happy real quick. 

"You sure? But I won't force you to stay with me, just let me love you, Cali." he said in a low tone.

I gave him a look and he raised his eyebrows. "Don't worry Cal, I've spent my whole life falling in love with people who can't love me back. It's nothing new, I'm used to it." he gave a smile but I know that's fake. 

"No, Liam. Please, huwag kang mag doubt sa sarili mo. Don't question your self-worth or think na hindi ka enough just because they can't love you back. Darating din 'yan. Malay mo dumating na pala." I gave him a sweet smile.

He chuckled. "If I can't have you, then I don't want anyone else." he shrugged and tapped my head. I was flustered by his statements. He turned his back and started stepping away from me but I heard another line from him. 

"Huwag kang mag-alala, kapag naisipan mong balikan siya, papakawalan kita." 

I suddenly felt sad and guilty at the same time. I already like Liam pero the thought of Jay is still bothering me. Good guys shouldn't be treated like this. I pondered upon the thought of loving Liam and it's not hard to fall in love with him. 

I waved them goodbye and entered the house. I went straight upstairs and fixed my things. Tomorrow is another big day before the main event. I have to wake up early and decorate the school, talk to the teachers, and set up meetings with the organizations and clubs. I suddenly felt my lower bully like it's going to explode. Fuck, period. I took a shower and after I went out, I saw my phone ringing, it was Liam.
