CHAPTER-7

[Kavin's POV:]

Tss. this woman herself likes MJ, yet is helping him to get back with Savannah? but why? what is her benefit? she won't get the man if they get together right? just when I was thinking all these stuff, the woman in front of me spoke... " I mean dude, are you that paranoid? you know Savannah and MJ had a fight a few weeks ago! they might be talking it out ? why were you even approaching them?..." "well...

*Flashback* "Savannah... where is Joseph?" "oh, umm, maybe at the library? why?" "err.. nothing. Btw, can I tell you something?" "yeah.. but wait! can I ask you something first?" "sure? what is it?" "can you... help me?" I got excited because finally Savannah was asking my help again instead of that cold transferee. "sure! anything you want?" "I, well..... I really like Marky... and I wanna confess to him... (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) Can you help me.."

I was stunned speechless by what Savannah said... Her words really knocked me for a loop.. the woman I had loved for all these years, wanted me to help her confess to another guy? I was heart broken, but I still gave her a half smile and managed to say "of course, why not?" "Thank you Kavin! you are a great friend!" yes.. friend..[gulp] I tried my best not to cry but hell... it hurts... it hurts so damn bad.

At first I rebelled with myself. I thought I would just tell Savannah about my feelings, so she would stop thinking about Joseph. But when she asked, "oh yeah! what was the thing that you wanted to say?" but I only managed to say.. "oh- ummm.. nothing important.. maybe next time?" a next time which will never come..... In the end I ended up helping her, confess to Joseph and they became a loving couple.. I, on the other hand ended up getting terribly hurt and depressed, All alone.. having no one by my side. Everything was over for me.. whenever I used to see them together.. I felt like someone had stabbed my heart a million times...

I had convinced myself again and again that as her b-best friend I should be happy for her.. I even became a play boy. I used to date new girls every now and then. I tried my best to move on.. but that's just how love is.. it doesn't compromise...

After a few months, I noticed that they had fights often.. well, since Joseph was handsome, he had a lot of fan girls. Savannah used to be mad at him for not doing something about it.. Even though Joseph couldn't do anything about it.. Savannah wasn't at Fault either. Since childhood, she had severe trust issues and goes through severe panic episodes as well. I wouldn't say Joseph is completely out of it.. he knows about her condition too.. yet he just doesn't seem to act on it and actively solve their problems.. he acts like he doesn't know anything about the things happening around him... That's why, I've made up my mind. I won't give up on Savannah so easily.. atleast not until I let her know about what I feel for her. I know, if I could get the chance, I will never make her cry.... 

 *End of Flashback* 

so... that's just how it is... you get it?" "h-hmm y-yeah.." I could feel her voice cracking.. but she still managed herself and said.. "I-I u-understand.." "Can I ask you something?" "w-what is it?" "You love MJ don't you? but why are you still helping him to get back with Savannah? you love him right? Don't you want him for yourself? Doesn't it hurt?" even after a few minutes she still didn't answer. "Tss,.. lets meet again here, when you have the answer to my question.."

[April's POV:]

"Waaaah! finally we are together! my bed!! huh, I missed you.. The day was so exhausting... it drained all my energy! Btw, did MJ and Savannah talked it out? just when I thought of the couple I felt a sharp pain in my chest that's when I remembered him.."kavin.."

while that playboy was telling about his past...I saw him closing his eyes and clenching his jaw and fists... he was trying his best not to cry. Honestly, I think I could feel him the most right now, because we both really are.. in the same situation. But then again.. why was I at loss of words when he asked me why I was helping MJ...?

At that time, I felt like the time around me had stopped and all the past memories of me and MJ together came flashing in front of me.. and instead of making me happy like it used to.. those memories were haunting me to the point of crying, to the point of feeling insecure.. insecure from the fear of losing my very man.. Honestly, I didn't know which was making me sob harder, Kavin's backstory or my own..

"I hope I can answer your question honestly some day.. Kavin.."

"honey! come down!! Dinner is ready!" "Coming mom!!" [tap tap] I was surprised when I noticed the people in the dining area, "Papa! Kuya Kathredal! you are home!!" srsly? I thought papa had taken a 1 month project in New York? And even my elder brother who was in London for his studies? I paid my respect to papa first and then hugged kuya.

"so? how is my baby sister?" said kuya, "same old.. same old.. nothing new.. just like your face [grin]" the whole family had a good laugh at my answer (-U-i) "So? still waiting for MJ?" "h-huh? hmmm" I didn't wanted them to know what was happening between me and MJ right now.. at least not so early.. SHEMS! April? since when did you started keeping secrets from your family? bad April! eeh! the day is finally over now I can go to bed early! as they say! Good night, sleep tight, wake a bright!

[phone ringing] " hello...?
