"Eli, "

I turned around to see who's calling my name and I found out that it was him. I was even surprised how he change so much that I completely forgot about his looks. But now, he looked matured.

His eyes, was full of tears. I avoid eye contact on him when he looks at me. He still, didn't change at all.

"What?" I asked without looking at him.

He took a step forward but I took a step back. Tila hindi sya makapaniwala nang gawin ko iyon kaya hinarap ko na sya. "What do you want?"

"Please, wag kana muna makielam. Hindi ka kasali sa grupo, ayoko lang kitang mapahamak." Pakiki usap nya at tila gusto akong lapitan pero pinigilan nalang nya ang sarili nyang lumapit ulit.

But he's too late. Even though I found out that he was lying to his friends that he's gonna quit, it's not all true.

I tried to smile at him. "Don't worry, I'll be fine and once I did not go back alive, you know what to do." I tried to act as if I was fine but hell, I'm scared inside.

I didn't even know what will happen to me once I turned my back to him. But this is all I want. To fullfill his promises he gave me. I know that I'm stupid enough and I'm still hurting, feeling betrayed after all.

If only I could fight back to my parents and save him at that time, I would changed our situation so this pain would stop now.
