He muttered it again and this time I heard it properly. “ Stay " Stay!? Ryan asked me to stay! But he's not awake! Or is he?

🎵🎶 Oh hey, how I cried. This time.🎵🎶 Be different.🎵🎶 Bigla akong pinag-pawisan habang pinapakinggan ang lyrics ng kanta. Bakit sa dinami-daming kanta ng westlife na naka saved sa cellphone ko, Please Stay pa talaga ang gumising sa'kin. Please stay.🎵🎶 Please stay, don't go.🎵🎶 Please stay, don't go.🎵🎶

I laugh and say, "Ha-ha Let's go. We have the get-together at Ava's and we have a party to attend tomorrow and we need our beauty sleep before the Dinner and Gala." We open the door and sit inside. While she is busy starting the car engine, I switch on my bluetooth and connect it to the speaker and start playing Taylor Swift's latest album. We drive away, singing loudly and jamming to the song. I roll down the window, allowing the cold wind to enter. I look outside, admiring the beauty of my neighbourhood and I repeat to myself that everything I achieved is definitely due to the hard work I put in. I couldn't help but think to myself,

'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But, darling, stay with me Why am I so emotional? No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control And deep down I know this never works But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But, darling, stay with me. The night couldn't have ended any better than it did. Everything that could have gone wrong had gone right.

“Oh, you’re such a darling but don’t worry your smooth little head. I’m just fine” Maxwell ground his teeth against each other. “I’m so glad about that. But you haven’t told me what time you’ll be getting back or your location so I can get someone to meet with you. You see, the team have decided to finish the magazine shoot tomorrow night which is great as it would give us time to travel back to New York City for the famous sports brand that we’ve talked about and signed a contract for”.

“You wouldn’t disappear.” Something inside me cracked. Because I remembered. That night. That quiet moment when everything felt uncertain, and yet somehow… safe. “I’m still here,” I whispered. But the words felt fragile. Like they could break any second. “Then stay,” he said. Simple. Direct. But heavier than anything else. Stay. Stay as myself. Stay human. Stay incomplete. Stay… weak. Or— Become something more. Something stronger. Something that didn’t hesitate. Something that wouldn’t lose again.

The door opened, Patricia peeped through “my break time is over, we need to start leaving” “ok ma, I’ll meet you outside” then Christopher faced Priscilla “I will be going back to my hospital, so do take care of yourself, I’ll see you when I see you, bye”

“Don’t die. I won’t let anything happen to you. Just… stay with me.” ***

But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old Just say you won't let go Just say you won't let go I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head And I'll take the kids to school Wave them goodbye And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night When you looked over your shoulder For a minute, I forget that I'm older I wanna dance with you right now Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever And I swear that every day you'll get better You make me feel this way somehow "Thank you for not judging me, for still being here even after I treated you badly," he continues as we swayed to the beat of the music. I'm so in love with you And I hope you know Darlin
