I'm Celine Joan Borja. People call me 'CJ'. I grew up in the province with my best friend, Angelo Villamor. We spent all of our childhood days together, and I thought that would never change.

But I was wrong.

We were 9 when his father took him to Manila. We tried to keep in touch with each other until I was 12.  However, he suddenly stopped writing back. He just disappeared. We promised that it would just be me and him, together, but everything changed.

At the age of 17, however, I moved to Manila to start a new life with my sister and my aunt. I became hopeful. I wanted to see him again. Maybe we could go back to the way we were before.

But when I finally found him, I was proven wrong. Again.

He was no longer the best friend I grew up with. He was not the same Angelo.

He's now a playboy with a mean streak and has a gorgeous best friend named Seth.

It Was Always You

I entered my room, dropping my stuff on the floor, and then I sat on the carpet. I blew out of my cheeks. It wasn't the ending that I expected. Angelo and I barely talked. Well, I admit that it might have been my fault since I invited Seth. In my defense, I wanted them to get over their beef with each other. Unfortunately, that also failed. I think. 


The only good thing that came out of it was that Seth and I had closure. 


I got up and changed into more comfortable clothing. And then I collapsed on my bed. 


My thoughts trailed to Angelo. What happened to him? He turned quiet and refused to make eye contact with me. 


I took my phone and sent him a text message, asking him if he was home. He didn't respond.
