Amnesia • Darren Espanto (BOOK 1) ▶EDITING◁

Chapter 24 - Haley Patchot (vacation part 3)

-JK's POV-

"Just getting revenge on ya! xx >:)))) @darrenespanto1" I scrolled through her Instagram again. She posted a photo of Darren soundly sleeping on 'their' bed just about an hour ago.

I never stopped. Siya parin naman eh, it never faded. My love never faded, but I guess hers did.

"Huy, Karlos! Kanina ka pa jan! What are you doing?" Binulaga ako ni Isaac. "Naaadik ka na!"

"Sorry." I pressed the home button then hid my phone in my pocket.

"Dude, she's just a room away. Enjoy the vacation, not the wifi."

"Oh, w-what?" I muttered.

"Wag pabebe. You're scrolling through Bella's insta.

"Kadiri, pabebe? Salitang pangbabae yuuuuun!!!!"

He just cocked an eyebrow at me. "Okay I give up. It's still her, I still love her." I breathed in again, running my fingers through my hair.

"Bella..." he replied. "is a complete package. She's hard to lose. Malaking ka-"

"GUUUUYUUUUYYYYYYYYYYSYSYSYSYSYS?!?!?!?!?!?!!!" Bella's voice rang through my ears, followed by nonstop knocking on the door.

"Coming!" Isaac shouted back as a response, making us stand up from our beds.

"Baby..." Bella calls Darren as they're making sandcastles.

"Yes?"

"Wala, ily." She smiles at him, then he just says 'yiiiiieeeee'

"Aww baby haha ako naman..." Darren says and sits beside her.

"What?"

"Wink milk ka ba?"

"Bakit?"

"Kasi winner ako sayo e yiiiiiieeeeee."

That was lame.

"WEEEEEEEHDI WOW!" the rest joked then laughed

"Eepal nyo!" Darren threw water at them. "Para sa inyo yung joke e no?!"

"Ay sige sorry naman hahaha."

"Bella, what do you think?"

She pretended to think for a while, but then she starts bursting into fits of laughter. "Corny mo bae."

Darren pouted, making Bella pinch his cheeks. "But sweeeeeet!!!!!!"

"I love you!"

"Love you too!"

"Always?"

"Always."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

it hurts.

That was what I used to say to Bella, and she'd reply back to me but now?

No.

I thought I'd already moved on, but just as my teacher said once, "Hindi mo masasabing nakamove on ka na kung nasasaktan ka parin pag nakikita o nakakausap mo siya."

I didn't know it would hurt this much. Actually, you wouldn't realize someone's worth until they're already gone. I know na mahirap din yung malayo siya sakin, pero alam nyo yun? You'll only realize the pain it costs you when she's not yours anymore.

I have to make her love me again.

-Darren's POV-

I woke up to the sight of Bella, which instantly brightened up my day.
