Description
“It’s just that…” napabuntong hininga ako. My knees are shaking but I remained standing. “Listen to me Xander. I like you, alright? There’s no point in denying it. Pero… hindi pwede.” Magsasalita sana siya pero inunahan ko na. “No, just listen to me. Please.” Kailangan kong masabi lahat bago pa umatras ang dila ko. “I have been through hell and lived. My past relationships either left me broken or with nothing at all. I’ve dated crap guys. Not just once, I’ve fucked up. But through it all, hindi ako iniwan ng bestfriends ko. They’ve always been there for me. Since that one time, I vowed na makikinig na ako sa mga sasabihin nila. At sinasabi nila na layuan kita. And maybe I should. It won’t be easy, that’s for sure. Pero kapag hindi ito nagwork, hindi lang ako masasaktan, pati ikaw at ang mga kaibigan ko. If I fuck things up again, I’ll lose their trust, and yours. And I don’t want that to happen. Call me coward, fine. But I don’t want to go back to that pain. That’s why I don’t want to take the risk. I’m sorry.”
