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.
A Love Like Hell Chapter 32 - Figured So
• Ruben's Point of View •"...hey, am I seeing things or did you just left your girlfriend there?" Tanong ni Eliza. I kept silent while we were both walking to our clubroom. Talking to her again really made me feel so weird. I just feel like shit right now. I should've just minded my own business back there, but it's like an instinct to protect her. Damn, sometimes i'm too stupid thinking that I can really let her be like that. I want to go back to how it used to be... but that would be impossible. "Uhm, Ruben?" "Eliza, please. Just shut the hell up." I told her. Then she did. Thank god. Sometimes Eliza is such an annoying shit. Ever since she confessed, I can see that's she's trying her best to get closer to me. I already rejected her, but I nev
A Love Like Hell Chapter 33 - A Replacement
• Ruben's Point of View •Two months later"...everything that they had seen and heard was just as they had been told." Then the guys who were playing shepherds got out of the stage.Then that was it. The christmas skit we were all working hard for finally ended. The audience applaused and I was ready to leave. I decided that I won't attend the after party for this play.Habang nagliligpit ako ng gamit ko, nilapitan ako ni pres para kausapin. "Hey, aalis ka na kagad Ruben?" "Yeah, may gagawin ako sa bahay." I lied. Gusto ko na din na magpahinga."Eh?! Ayaw mo kumain muna sa party mamaya? Maya-maya ka na umalis.""Sorry pres, but I really have to.""Ang kj mo talaga." She pouted. Then unexpectedly, lumapit sa amin si Eliza. "Hey guys! Another successful play, congrats sa'tin!" Aniya.
A Love Like Hell Chapter 34 - He Won't Stop
• Jade's Point of View •He still won't stop.Pagkabukas ko ng locker ko, things that weren't supposed to be there are there. Kinuha ko lahat ng mga regalo ni August para itapon. For the past months, he didn't bugged me that much anymore. Pero he still kept on gifting me stuff that I clearly won't accept.I already change my locker, but he still manages to find and open it. Nang maitapon ko na ang lahat, I saw Bella from the end of the hallway waiting for me. Kumaway sya sa akin at pumunta naman ako sa kanya. "You all good now?" Tanong nya. "Yeah! Tara na." Sagot ko. We we're gonna hang out at the mall today to buy some stuff we need for a project. I'm kinda glad I have her right now. I think I wouldn't be able to distract myself from the things that scares me without her. "Hey, let's li
A Love Like Hell Chapter 35 - Just A Tool
• Ruben's Point Of View •The prom night.As I stepped out of my car, nadatnan kong nasa labas na si Eliza sa kaniyang bahay. Napangiti ako ng makita ko sya. She smiled back and quickly went towards me. "You look beautiful in blue." I told her.I really liked how she's dressed tonight, at di rin matanggal ang tingin ko sa mukha nya. There's really something about make-up that makes girls look like some goddess that descended to earth. Parang nahiya naman sya sa pagkakatingin ko sa kanya kaya natawa sya't sabay palo sa braso ko. "I know, you don't have to remind me that i'm beautiful though." Iba din ang confidence ng babae na 'to minsan."Pfft, yeah right. Just always remind me that I don't have to do that.""Okay, if you say so." She giggled. Binuksan ko naman ang pinto ng kotse ko para sa kanya. "No
A Love Like Hell Chapter 36 - Always Remember Us This Way
• Jade's Point of View •It's finally prom night. Magkasama kami ni Bella na pumunta sa school. Kapit lang ako sa kaniya dahil wala naman akong iba pang masyadong kaclose dito. She don't mind it anyway since wala din naman daw syang date."Hey, gusto mo kumuha ng drinks?" Aniya."Yeah! Let's get some." Sagot ko.Then pumunta naman kami sa table ng mga pagkain. There's a lot of people kaya medyo nahirapan kami kumuha. "My gosh, we should've just brought our own food here." Natatawang sambit ni Bella.I just agreed dahil hindi ako satisfied sa nakuha ko. Ang gugulo din ng mga tao na nagsisisayawan. Napaupo na lang kami sa isang gilid habang nagkekwentuhan at pinagmamasdan ang mga sumasayaw."Gaaahd! I wish someone would come here and ask us to dance." Aniya."Yeah, i'm kinda bored now." "H
A Love Like Hell Chapter 37 - I'm Over You
• Ruben's Point of View •As I take off the mask, napapunas na lang ako sa mga luha ko. Tinapon ko na din yung maskara as I decided to throw away the feelings that keeps hurting me. I know i'm a jerk for using Eliza as something to numb the pain, but I think it's time to see Eliza as she is. Not as a replacement.Pagkabalik ko sa kanya, kagad syang napatingin sa akin while talking to some other members from the theatre club. "Oh tagal mo sa cr ah?"Napangisi lang ako. "Yeah, andaming gumagamit eh. Sorry I made you wait.""It's fine, let's just dance again!" Then she pulled me back to the floor to dance.Tonight turned out to be great. Like the heavy thing in my chest is finally gone.As tomorrow came, my morning was a bit nicer than usual. Maybe it's because of what happened last
