 "Hah!" he said. Sounding like an arrogant man. Oh, wait... he's really arrogant and dumb as eff. "Go on, missy. Just keep on blabbering about me being a jerk and I won't give a single damn." He smirked and looked at me like he won a million dollars by arguing with me. I rolled my eyes heavenwards and arched my left eyebrow. 

“Is that all you can do, Drey?”

 "What's happening here?" Lyza came rushing and immediately wrapped her hands around Drey's arms. Well, they do look cute together. But then, I just realized. A demon and an angel? What the heavens.

 "Tell your boyfriend to shut his mouth and leave me and my friends alone," I hissed. I wasn’t going to back down, of course! I mean, I know I was wrong for being too indecisive, but for him to continue his tantrums like this? Is he a grade-schooler?

 "What did you do this time, babe?" Lyza asked. Ugh, babe? Are they pigs? 

 Drey sighed and glared at me, "I was just talking to them babe," he said. 

 "And?" Drey sighed once again and scratched his nape.

"And I gave that talkative girl a five-dollar bill." He smirked and looked at me. My eyes widened, how dare him call me a talkative girl? Well, I know I'm talkative and a nagger sometimes but what the hell!

 "Hey, mister. Are you mocking me for being a talkative nobody? A talkative poor gal? A nagging scholar?" I shouted and stood up. Not minding the 1-inch gap between our faces. 

Drey smirked, "What if yes?" I narrowed my eyes and glared at him. I was about to slap him but Lyza stopped me. I looked at her and all I can say is, she's definitely fuming in anger.

 "Please leave this restaurant immediately, Ms. Breevort and company," she said through gritted teeth. "You're disturbing other customers. Don't worry about the bill, I'm sure you can't pay for it so I'll pay it for you." My eyes widened. I was about to talk but Sophia tugged my hand. 

 "What the hell was that, Kath?" Sophie shouted when we got outside of Red Velvet's. I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip. “I know you were just carried away with your emotions, but that’s where we draw the line, babe.”

 "I-I just got carried away," I said and sighed. 

 "That's the stupidest thing you've ever done, Kath," Mila said and flipped the page of the book she's reading. 

 "I know!" I sighed and pulled my hair furiously. "I'm sorry, okay?" Sophie rolled her eyes heavenwards.

 "Whatever! Let's just go," Sophie said and hailed a cab. I sighed and bid my goodbye to Mila since her condo's just a walk away from Red Velvet's.

 You're so stupid, Kath!

**

 "You're really a bitch sometimes, Kath," Sophie said as she polishes her nails with neon pink. I sighed and combed my wet hair using my fingers. I usually sleep in here since I really don't want to go at my apartment that really looks like a haunted house in horror movies. 

 "I know," I said. "And I hate myself for making Lyza angry." I grabbed one fluffy pillow and hugged it tight. Ugh! That's why I hate myself when I'm angry. I can't stop my mouth from telling hate words or whatever. Seriously. I should probably get a consultation for my anger management issues.

 "Yeah," Sophie said and closed the small container of her nail polish. "You know Kath. Lyza gets rarely angry. I know that since I've been friends with her since grade school. She's too kind, but when it comes to her boyfriend, family or Red Velvet's. She'll be able to show her dark side."

  

 "Uhm, what's with Red Velvet's?" I asked. Sophie shook her head and smiled at me like I'm so idiot for being so innocent about the things happening.

 "She owns that bakeshop." I gasped. This can't be! Gosh, what have I done, good Lord, to feel this kind of cruelty?

"Another battle against a rich kid? No way!" I hissed. Sophie chuckled.

 "Don't worry, Kath. I'm sure she'll be able to forgive you tomorrow. Just say sorry and explain everything. I'm sure she'll understand you," she said and smiled. I sighed and smiled back.

** 

My hands are sweating. If I could just turn around and walk away from Lyza and just ignore whatever the hell will happen to my life, but seriously, I'm not that bad and I really need to explain my side and say sorry to whatever the heavens I've done to her... and Drey, of course.

 Sophie's text message keeps on replaying on my mind. I think it's really her hobby to text me 'You go girl. I got your back' every time I do something crazy and terrible and I need to explain my side then say sorry since, sometimes I'm a trouble maker. I've went to the guidance counselor when I was still in High School for like, 10 times. 

Well, Mila? She's really not into texting. She's too lazy to key in words on her iPhone. I swear if I had an iPhone 6+, I'll definitely send group messages 30 times a day. 

 "Uhm, are you just gonna stand there? I still have a class to attend to," Lyza said and that brought me back to my senses. 

 "Oh, I'm sorry," I said and said then gave Lyza the box of chocolate eclairs I'm holding. "Well, first. I'm sorry, again, for creating a huge mess at Red Velvet's," I said. I was about to continue with my speech but Lyza's sweet smile interrupted me. 

 "It's fine," she said and chuckled. "I've realized that I'm really the one who needs to apologize since I became angry at you. You know, Drey's really important to me and I don't want someone to hurt him physically." She chuckled in a girly manner.

 I shrugged my shoulders and put both of my hands inside my hoodie's pockets, "Well, I guess I better get going. Thank you for the eclairs," she said. I just smiled and nodded.

 "Yeah. See you when I see you," I said. She smiled and entered her room. I heaved a sigh and smiled a bit.

 I turned around and my eyes widened when I saw Drey's face. He smirked at me and pushed me, reason for me to fall down on the ground.

 "What the hell!" I said through gritted teeth and controlled voice. 

 "Oh, hi," Drey said and smirked again. "Miss? I forgot. What's your name again? Oh! I know now. Miss trouble maker." I narrowed my eyes and stood up immediately. 

 "I'm not a troublemaker," I said. "That’s you." I rolled my eyes heavenwards and pushed him in a furious way then made my way to my room. 

 What a jerk. Ugh.

    "It's so lovely," Kathrina gushes as she turns around in front of the mirror when she finally tried the wedding gown that I made for her. I smiled. "It fits you perfectly," I say. She turned around and pulled me into a hug. "Thank you... Lyza." It'd be hypocritical for me to say that I didn't hate Kathrina. I did. I thought if she didn't come into the picture, Drey and I would've been married already. And yet that's when I realized... I could've been married to my first love, but I'd live a life full of regrets and misery. Back then, I was so in love with Drey that maybe I didn't see how he was hurting, too. I even found it unfair that I was just there... waiting for him to tell me anything because I was stupid enough to believe that what we might have could be true. I mean... I did feel the love and support Drey gave me... but I felt like I was becoming more of a baggage for him to carry, instead. I've love

  • If It's All The Same [COMPLETED]   Special Chapter: Drey

    "You think you can already face it?" I remained mum as my therapist asks questions when I asked her if it'd be okay for me to attend Kathrina's wedding. At first it sounded bull--who'd invite someone who fucked her life before and think it'd probably be nice to watch you get married?I was like... fuck off.I was miserable as hell. I felt like she was mocking me for being miserable like this because I deserved it after screwing the hell out of her life.Yeah, sure. I fucking deserve it.My family didn't understand me first... that I almost wanted to cut ties with them, until I couldn't take it anymore and asked my psychiatrist to call for them and explain my situation. My mom was a doctor... until I think being one of the socialities sucked the soul out of her that she thought I was just joking just to escape the responsibilities.I know I was partly responsible for how I turned out. I should've just proved myself to them in a way wherein I'd lead

    "You aren't really crying now, huh?" my friend asked. I glared at him which made him chuckle as I was taking my handkerchief from my pocket."Dude stop," I say, wiping my face. I sighed. Suddenly it feels like the time slowed down along with the music that was playing."Stop transforming into a giraffe, Kath won't run." I glared at him, even asking him to stop, but of course--he just couldn't. Ah, why would I even question myself? He just loved teasing me everytime he gets the chance.I waited so long for this.So long.It's finally happening.Because I knew ever since, this is where we should be.Because the moment I first laid my eyes on her when I realized that I do love her... I promised myself already.Hell be damned, it's only her.It's her or no one for me.Dear God. I just love her so much.Tears fell down the moment the moment the doors opened, followed by my heavy breathings--I heard my best

  • If It's All The Same [COMPLETED]   Epilogue

    I blinked.Once.Thrice.My eyes were a little strained when I checked my eyes in front of the mirror. I haven't been sleeping a lot the past few days since the start of major research they assigned to me to spearhead, along with my thesis to finally graduate and get my Master's Degree. It has been a rough road ahead since I had to juggle with research and academic and therapy in between just so I won't lose myself in the process, but even then, I was happy.The past few years were difficult. There would be times that I don't even know where I'd get the strength to go on because I'd still feel empty every now and then. But at the end of the day, I'd still get the hang of it.The therapy was good... for the past few years it's one of the few good things that kept me sane even in times where relapses were getting worse, or I didn't realize I wasn't withdrawing away from the world again.But, I’m okay.I’ve already lear

  • If It's All The Same [COMPLETED]   Chapter Sixty Five

    Enrique seemed like he was taken aback by what I said which had me laughing."I'm not dreaming, right?""Huh?" I asked, teasing him as if I didn't what I had just said."You said something..." his voice was laced with sadness but I went on with the act."I wasn't saying anything," I uttered. "Did you hear a ghost?"Enrique pouted.I smiled."I love you," I repeated which caught him off-guard again."For real?"I chuckled."For real... this time."My mouth went agape when I realized that tears were welling in his eyes but he didn't care, even when they started to fall. I suddenly felt sad that I made him wait for so long just so I could be sure with my feelings, but I wanted to find the right time--where I wouldn't even question myself if my feelings were right or wrong.I wanted to be sure of him. Without any reservations, without a doubt.I wanted to love him unconditionally
