I whispered, �Why do you keep on following him?�
Those words automatically came out from my mouth.
I headed to my room, bumping strangers unknowingly.
Sometimes, it really hurts whenever you see a girl crying; especially when that girl is the one who drives you crazy.
I turned on my iPOD.
Now Playing � Angels Cry
Angels cry when stars collide
And I can't eat and I can't breathe
I wouldn't want it any other way
Well it's hard to explain but I'll try if you let me
Well it�s hard to sustain
I'll cry if you let me�
Can't you see I'm dying here?
A shot of broken heart that is chased with fear
My heart burns through
My chest to the floor
Tearing me silently although abruptly
Words can�t hide as I'm taking you home
And I tried to see
Tried to understand your words as I'm taking you home
I admit, nakaka-relate ako. Tae. Her words kept on ringing in my head.

I just watched tears flowing down like a river. I just watched her broke down; I didn�t even do anything about it. Besides, why should I? I mean sino ba ako?
I closed my eyes. I saw a girl in my mind, a girl that I�ve never seen before. We were in an antique shop. She smiled, she laughed, and she�s perfect. Then I saw myself laughing back. She looked down and took a figurine. I felt like she�s all I ever wanted, and no one else.
But who is it?

Somebody knocked the door.
�Clariane?�
�Huh? It�s Anthony.�
�Ah. I thought it was somebody. Pasok.�
�What the crap? Are you crying!?�
�What the crap? What do you think of me? I was just testing my acting skills.�
�Asa! Anyway, where�s our script?�
�Downstairs.�
We went outside and parted ways. I went to the pool, and saw her.
�I�m sorry,� I said softly, �for caring about you.�
�It�s alright,� she forced a smile.
�I�m really sorry.�
�It�s alright. Besides, nangyari na. I think it�s just God�s plan.�
�Condolences. Are you okay?�
�Yes,� she chuckled.
�Okay. If that�s the case, iwanan na muna kita. Pupunta akong function hall.�
�Sure.�
I left her there. At kahit sabihin niyo pang 5 feet away ako from her, I can still hear her crying. I think she really needs time.
���
Ann came rushing towards me, �Kuya Kris, have you seen our Juliet?�
�Juliet? You mean, Clariane?�
�Yes. I�m worried.�
�I don�t know. Why?�
�Dumidilim na kasi. Wala pa siya.�
We walked the whole resort. Ibang klaseng resort din to e. Sobrang laki. I felt like isang taon pa bago mahanap namin si Clariane.
San ba kasi nagsususuot yun? :x
Then I saw a fountain, four boys, and Clariane.
Holy crap.
�Ann, dito ka lang,� I said and ran away.
�What are you doing?!�
�Bye!� The guy smiled and pushed her.
I jumped and grabbed for her. Buti marunong ako lumangoy, or else, we�re both dead. Just kidding. O___O We got out of the pool.
�Pare! Are you alright? Tatawag ako ng doctor.�
�N-No, I don�t need one��
�What?! You were there, Clariane, trying to face four men all by yourself! You didn�t even bother to call us for help.�
�It�s because I don�t need help! Kaya ko sarili ko!�
�Hindi mo ba maintindihan?! If we weren�t there, malamang wala ka na!�
�I apologize for causing such trouble. But I don�t understand why I need to get scolded for something more than that. I didn�t do anything! Shit naman!�
�Then do whatever you want!!! I won�t talk to you until you accept the fact that you�re wrong.�
Tanga ba talaga siya? She didn�t even realize that I was worried about her. Puro nalang siya Prince, Prince, and Prince! Crap! Intindihin naman niya yung mga taong nag-aalala sa kanya.
���
Clariane�s Point Of View
I went outside, to take some tour. Then these four men caught me off guard and asked me why I was crying. I didn�t answer, and then one of them touched my face.
Manyakis pala to.
I tried to push them and all, but then hindi ko naman nagawa. I thought, ayos lang, if I died. I�ll be with him.
And then I saw Kris, but it was too late, this guy pushed me.

I didn�t know what happened next. Pero when I opened my eyes, I saw my friends.
�Pare! Are you alright? Tatawag ako ng doctor.�
�N-No, I don�t need one��
�What?! You were there, Clariane, trying to face four men all by yourself! You didn�t even bother to call us for help.�
I can�t think of anything, kaya sinabi ko ang totoo, �It�s because I don�t need help! Kaya ko sarili ko!�
�Hindi mo ba maintindihan?! If we weren�t there, malamang wala ka na!�
�I apologize for causing such trouble. But I don�t understand why I need to get scolded for something more than that. I didn�t do anything! Shit naman!�
�Then do whatever you want!!! I won�t talk to you until you accept the fact that you�re wrong.�
Asar. Sino ba siya? I don�t even know him, pero kung maka-asta siya parang siya yung papa ko. He�s being over-protective but then he doesn�t realize he�s just a damn stranger na napadpad sa buhay ko.
���
I changed my clothes. Then all of us went downstairs to have our fresh dinner. After a couple of minutes, Kris came. He kept on looking at me, pero deadma nalang ako. That�s what he said, eh. I paid no attention to him.
Dinner was served. Kaya naman kinuha ko lahat ng spaghetti. FYI. LAHAT.
�Please excuse me,� Earl stood up and left us.
�Bakit and dami?� Tanong sakin ni Kris.
I ignored him and faced my food, �Akala ko bang hindi tayo mag-uusap��
�Nagtatanong lang eh.�
�Edi kase.�
Tumayo na rin siya ang binagsak yung kamay niya sa table, �Bahala ka talaga sa buhay mo! Yan pala gusto mo eh!�
Nobody wants to talk after he left.
Ano na naman ba ginawa ko?

�He�s right, you�re eating too much,� Anthony said.
�Maybe, I should learn martial arts or something.�
�Say sorry na kasi,� Ann sincerely said.
�Sorry? For what?�
�For causing such a big worry.�
�Apologize to everybody. Everyone was worried, right?�
�I-I did not know that.�
�Naman,� Ruel laughed.
�Wee. Sorry talaga. Ang tanga ko kasi,� I frowned.
�Ayos lang. Ayos lang.�
Come to think of it, I just stumbled in a room that was closest to the function hall.
Of course, I puked.
I went outside and saw Earl.
�Are you done?�
�Y-Yes. I�m sorry pala. I made you worry��
�I wasn�t worried,� he smirked and turned the lights off.
�Why did you turn it off?�
He pushed me and I was already on his bed.
�I will just forgive you if you will give me your body��
�What?!�
�Since you�re here. Do you want to do something?�
�I�m a man, so I can molest you at any time. You, being a young woman, can never be able to push me off.�
�I know. I�m not dumb.�
�Before you think about not caring, realize how much an easy target you are. Nasa sayo na yan if you want to be innocent, but being so defenceless? It�s your entire fault.�
His words snapped my mind. Accept the fact that you are wrong�
�My best friend won�t do that because��
He felt embarrassed, �You�re right, you�re right.�
�Even if you do molest me, you�ll get no profit in it.�
�Yes. Do you understand now? You�re quite interesting.�
�Okay. You played as the villain, and I realized it. That�s cool.�
�Yes it is.�
Someone opened the door. Kris.
�Tol, do you have any towel that�Earl?!�
�Tae ka. Knock the door first. Here�s the towel,� He stood up and went outside.
�Clarz? What did he do?!�
I sighed, �Nothing.�
�Nothing?! Lights off na nga o! He wasn�t even wearing his shirt. And why is the bed all messed up?!�
�Stop having those weird hallucinations! Pervert mo!�
He half-smiled, �Nevermind. Go to sleep.�
Then I heard the sound of the loud thunder.
I immediately grabbed his shirt, �K-Kris!!!�
�What?�
�N-Nothing� I just remembered something. Excuse me��
I pulled out the blanket and covered myself.
�No one in the world would go there and think of something! Open it!�
�N-No. It�s alright,� I laughed, �I�m used to this crap, s-sandali lang to.�
���
Kris� Point Of View
�K-Kris!!!� she exclaimed and grabbed my shirt.
�What?�
�N-Nothing� I just remembered something. Excuse me��
She pulled the blanket and wrapped it around her.
�No one in the world would go there and think of something! Open it!�
Ang weird nito.
�N-No. It�s alright,� I laughed, �I�m used to this crap, s-sandali lang to.�
�Holy crap? Are you insane? I don't get you...�
�But who?!�
I thought of something. She said she�s used to this. And, I noticed that her mother and Biboy were always out of town, doing something. Lagi nalang siya ang naiiwan. Pati naman si Manang, nakayna Lola.
That�s it. That�s why she didn�t call us when she was in danger. That�s why she doesn�t want me to be with her when she went to the bar�
�Now I know why you act so independently. You never told anyone your problems,� I whispered as I held the blanket and gave her my hand, �Anyway, everything�s alright. You don't have to face your problems alone.�
The thunder rolled again and she immediately took my hand and jumped on me.
�T-Thanks��
I sighed and muttered, �If you just knew��
�Knew what?�
�Nothing��
She held me tight in crushed embrace.
�From now on, I would not take my eyes off of you to keep you from doing reckless things again,� I held her hair and ran my fingers through it, �I love you.�
