ALPHA, OMEGA, LOVE CHAPTER 8: THE DOOR SHE REFUSED TO OPEN
GINO REYES' POVI had no idea how many minutes I'd been standing outside Steph's house.All I knew was that my arms were starting to ache from carrying the breakfast I'd cooked for her. The morning sun was practically punishing me for what I'd done to her.But did I leave right away?No.Because I was Gino Reyes, the most patient best friend in the entire world.Okay, fine. Maybe I wasn't actually the most patient person in the world.But I was trying."Steph!" I knocked on the door again. "Best friend! I brought you breakfast!"Silence."Your favorite, too! The one I reheated in your pan. I even added some Magic Sarap and salt because it turned out to be a little bland."Still no answer."Come on! I already ate a little, but there's plenty left, so I reheated it for you!"Nothing.I glanced at the container in my hands.The truth was, I hadn't even taken a single bite. I'd only said that to tempt her into opening the door. I figured that if she knew I'd brought her favorite food, she
ALPHA, OMEGA, LOVE CHAPTER 7: FOREVER ALONE
STEPH P.O.V.I woke up to the most mouthwatering smell imaginable.Seriously, what kind of torture was it to wake up to the smell of something delicious when you had absolutely no idea what it was—or, more importantly, whether you were going to get any?I didn’t know what was being cooked, but the smell was enough to make my stomach growl. So, even though my eyes were still stubbornly refusing to open, I dragged myself out of bed.“Whoever owns that food, I hope you choke on it,” I grumbled. “You’re sharing the smell but not the actual food. Tsk!”Since I already knew there was nothing cooked in the kitchen, I headed straight for the refrigerator instead.And because I was starving, I briefly considered eating the entire thing.Damn this house! It was huge, yet there was absolutely nothing to eat!I grabbed a glass of water from the fridge.“You’re so skinny because the first thing you give your poor, dying insides every morning is cold water.”The unexpected voice made me drop the g
ALPHA, OMEGA, LOVE CHAPTER 6: ONE CHOICE, ONE BROKEN PROMISE
GINO REYES’ P.O.V.I didn’t know when the things that used to come so easily had started becoming so difficult.Back then, whenever something important happened in Steph’s life, I never had to think twice about whether I should be there. I was already by her side before she even called for me. Sometimes, I even arrived before she did.Whenever she had a game, I was the loudest person in the bleachers.Whenever she had a problem, I was the first person she called.Whenever she wanted something, I was the first person she pestered.And whenever she had no one else to talk to, I was always the person she looked for.I never thought the day would come when I would have to question whether I should show up for one of the most important moments of her life.Especially when that moment was her graduation.“Gino, are you listening to me?”I glanced at the phone resting on the table. I stared at the name on the screen for a few seconds before answering the call.“Yeah, Kath. Sorry. I’m just a
ALPHA, OMEGA, LOVE CHAPTER 5: THE EX-SUITOR I NEVER ANSWERED
STEPH P.O.V.“Hello! Tita?!”I called from outside Gino’s house.“Hey, best friend! Are you there?!”I shouted again, hoping someone would hear me.I’ll admit it: I was angry with Gino for missing my graduation. But despite that, I still wanted to know why he hadn’t shown up. It was the first time he’d ever missed something that important to me. For better or worse, Gino had always been there for every major event in my life.So why had this time been different?A few moments later, Gino’s mother appeared. Tita Vicky immediately opened the gate and let me in.“Steph, have you been waiting out here long?” she asked.“Just a little while, Tita,” I answered.I had always felt comfortable around Tita Vicky. In many ways, she was like a second mother to me.“What brings you here?” she asked as we stepped inside.“Ah, I just wanted to ask where Gino is. He hasn’t texted me since yesterday, and he didn’t even show up for my graduation.”I answered while happily devouring the cookies she had
ALPHA, OMEGA, LOVE CHAPTER 4: THE DAY YOU WEREN'T THERE
(STEPH P.O.V.)“Psst! Best friend.”I called out to Gino, who was walking ahead of me.We were somewhere along the coast, in a place that wasn't exactly far from civilization but felt far enough from the noise of everyday life. Gino had been driving for a while when he apparently got tired of it and decided to stop by the side of the road.Luckily, the sea was right in front of us.“What?” he answered without turning around.He had a bag slung over one shoulder and an icebox filled with soda in his other hand.“What do you call this place?” I asked, following him.“I don't know.”I stopped walking for a second.“What do you mean, you don't know?”“Not every place needs a name you have to know about. What's important is that it's peaceful.” He glanced at me. “And it'll be even more peaceful if you stop asking so many questions.”“Wow. Such a philosopher.”“Thank you. I try.”“That's not a compliment, idiot!”He only laughed.When he finally stopped and set our things down on the grass,
ALPHA, OMEGA, LOVE CHAPTER 3: THE IDIOT STOOD ME UP
(STEP P.O.V)“Bestie, I need your help.”Gino and I were at one of his family’s rest houses in El Salvador. Our finals were already over, but his wouldn’t be until Monday. Apparently, he still had a mountain of projects to finish and a whole lot of reviewing to do.“What is it now? One thing at a time, best friend, okay? You’re not a robot. You can’t study for exams and work on projects at the same time,” I told him as I helped organize the mountain of books and other things he had brought with him.“That’s exactly why I called you. I need your help. There are a lot of essays to answer, and that’s what you’re going to work on. I know essays are your strength. If all our exams consisted of essays, you’d probably get a perfect score on every single one.”“Tsk! I thought you said I was stupid, huh, Mr. Genius?” I teased.“You’re not stupid academically. Do you know where you’re stupid, though?” he asked.“Where?”“In love.”I shot him a murderous glare.“Do you actually want my help or n
