Chapter 23 - Pre-Final Act
• Ruben's Point of View •
"...okay! So this will be the last practice for the day! Act 5, scene 3 from the top!" Sigaw ni pres.
Everyone from the club is really working hard today. Bukas na kasi ang pinakahinihintay ng lahat. Pagkatapos talaga ng play na 'to, quit na kagad ako. I'm doing this on behalf of my grades in arts after all.
Also, i can't really find any passion for acting. It's like you're playing pretend, but you gotta memorize a lot of crappy lines. Nang mag-umpisa na sila mag-act, nag-ready na ako para sa mga huling linya ko sa play na 'to.
"Romeo, pasok na." Sabi nung kasama ko na taga-ayos ng props. Pumunta kagad ako sa stage and did the best i could in delivering my lines.
And as i fought with the guy who has Paris's role, i improved my way of defeat and dying. Habang nakahiga ako sa sahig to pretend that i'm dead, i was quite bored waiting

• Ruben's Point of View •"Go Rubeeeen!""Classmate namin yan!!" "Class 1-11 supports you Ruben!" Naririnig ko na ang pangalan ko sa mga kaklase ko from outside this stage curtain. Napahalakhak naman si pres. "Sobrang sikat ni Ruben ah."My eyes just rolled. "Yeah right." Even though they're my classmates they're still nothing but a bunch of strangers to me."Anyways, someone's here to give his full support!" Banggit ni pres, then he suddenly came out. He was on a wheelchair and had cement on both of his legs. "Hi guys!!" It was Neil.Nagsilapitan ang lahat para kamustahin sya. Matapos non ay lumapit sya sa akin para kausapin ako. "Dude, i never thought ikaw ang papalit sa'kin! Nakakagulat lang, kinaya mong i-memorize lahat ng linya sa role ko!" Napangisi lang ako. "It was

• Jade's Point of View •"Leroi, i don't think this is a good idea. Also, i never skipped classes before!"He chuckled and pulled me inside his car. "It's fine! Minsan lang naman 'to hahaha!"Nitong Biyernes, niyaya ako ni Leroi na umabsent just to attend a party. It feels exciting and scary at the same time dahil first time ko 'to. Habang nagda-drive na sya ay medyo kinakabahan ako. What if hanapin ako sa school today? What if biglang tumawag 'yung mga teacher kay dad kung bakit wala ako? What if nalaman 'to ni dad at pagalitan ako non?Na-stress na 'ko kakaisip ng bigla akong hawakan ni Leroi sa balikat. "Don't overthink it Jade, tsaka may event ngayon sa school. Walang klase. And I think 'yung event tungkol sa play ng theatre club."Parang medyo nakahinga ako ng maluwag sa nabanggit nya. Pero medyo nanghihinayang din ako dahi
A Love Like Hell Chapter 26 - Too Much To Handle
• Jade's Point of View •Di ko nanaman maintindihan ang mga nangyayari. Nag-uusap ang magpinsan at parang taga-kinig lang ako."Damn it Leroi, ikaw na panalo." Caiden chuckled and took something from his pocket. "You damn right i am, akin na 'yung susi!" Tas binigay ni Caiden kay Leroi ang isang car keys. Tuwang-tuwa naman si Leroi sa nakuha. "Hahaha! Walang bawian 'to tol." "Oo na! Sayo na nga yung kotse. Letse." Napakunot lang noo ko sa kanila. Muling napatingin sa akin si Caiden at nangisi. "Okay, so let's finish this Leroi." "Eh? I think i'd feel bad if i do it." "Nakokonsensya ka na ba? Dude, kasama 'yon sa usapan. H'wag kang talkshit dyan." Leroi sighed. "Fine." Nagulat na lang ako ng biglang tumayo si Leroi. "Jade..." damn, sa pagbanggit nya pa l
A Love Like Hell Chapter 27 - Breaking Her
• Ruben's Point of View •I ended up sitting beside her and waited for her to talk. She kept sniffing and sobbing, and when she finally calmed for a bit she tried to talk. "Pinaglaruan nya 'ko. He dumped me infront a lot of people..." Nanatili akong tahimik, waiting for her to talk more about it. "I never thought he would do that. I thought he'll be serious with me, pero akala ko lang pala 'yon. Then he admitted that he never really liked me and that everything was just a bet.""Well what the hell do you expect? Kilalang babaero si Leroi. Papalit-palit 'yon ng babae. Tanga ka kasi." I harshly told her."I know." She whispered and wiped her own tears. "Ruben... i'm sorry."Napakagat ako sa'king labi habang nagso-sorry sya. "I'm sorry i chose the wrong person. I'm sorry nagpakatanga ako kay Leroi." Aniya.I chose to stay quiet. I
A Love Like Hell Chapter 28 - How They Met
• Ruben's Point of View •Things got worse.I never thought that Mr. Garcia would visit us for dinner, even if it's Saturday. Everyone knows that he's one hell of a busy business man. He never even had the time for his daughter, and yet he's here to discuss something with my dad.They were bestfriends since highschool, and they're also the reason how i met and got engaged to Jade.It was getting quite awkward in the dining room with my whole family and Mr. Garcia being silent for the whole time. I'm not oblivious enough to know what he really came here for, but he won't talk just yet."...uh, so how are things lately, Felix?" Sinubukan namang makipag-usap ni dad kay tito."I'm not here to talk about that Rouel. And i think you know what I came here for." Here comes the drama.Can't we just get all this over with?
A Love Like Hell Chapter 29 - Realize
• Ruben's Point of View •Four years later..."...Rubeeeeen! Let's play dress up pleeeeaaase!""No way! Never!!""Sige na Rubeeeen!""AYAAAAW!!"Nakatakbo na ko palayo sa halimaw na 'yon. All she ever do is ask me to play girly things with her. And i'm so freaking annoyed about it since i'm a growing 10 year old boy!Pagkatago ko sa isang sulok, Allan found me hiding. "Sir!? Ba't ka po nandyan?""S-SHHHH!!" I told him.Napatakip naman sya ng kaniyang maingay na bibig at bigla ko nanamang narinig ang napakatinis nyang boses. "RUBEEEEEN!!!""UGH! I HATE YOU ALLAN!" At tumakbo ulit ako paalis para makatakas sa babae na 'yon.It's been always like this. Bumibisita sina tito Felix sa amin para iwanan nya dito ang anak nya. Ang problema l
A Love Like Hell Chapter 30 - Scared
• Jade's Point of View •I expected for this to happen. Pagkabukas ko ng locker ko, puro threats ito at mga basura. I heard this from Bella that this happens to the girls that Leroi dated. Galit na galit talaga sa akin ang mga fangirls nya.Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at kinuha lahat ng basura na 'to para itapon. Then after that, I head to my class and did the usual. I'm glad that I actually made a friend in class, which is Bella. Nahihirapan na talaga ako ngayon dahil wala akong nakakasama at madami akong nakikita na may galit sa'kin.Pagdating ng lunch break, I saw a glimpse of Leroi from afar. Napakapit ako kay Bella from the uneasiness that I suddenly felt. "Is there something wrong Jade?""A-Ah? Wala..." Napa-iling na lang ako, shrugging off all the bad memory that tried to come back.It was stressful trying to ignore w
A Love Like Hell Chapter 31 - The Stalker
• Jade's Point of View •Months passed by, and I think i'm finally doing great. Humupa na rin ang mga taong tsismosa tungkol sa break up namin ni Leroi. It's probably because he started dating another girl again, pero di ko na masyadong inintindi 'yon dahil i've got my own things to focus on."...perfect! You did a great job, Miss Garcia." Sabi ng music teacher namin ng matapos ko na ang isang piece sa piano. Bumalik na 'ko sa pagkaka-upo at nagpatuloy lang ang music classes. And when it was Ruben's turn, nakinig lang ako sa kaniyang pagtugtog. If there's one thing I couldn't move on from, it's Ruben.Hanggang ngayon namimiss ko ang bestfriend ko. He's the wound that's so hard to heal. Gusto ko mang ibalik sa dati ang lahat kaso ayaw na sa akin ni Ruben. Ayoko namang ipagpilitan pa ang sarili ko sa ayaw sa'kin. Maybe it's best this way.
