I thought that I'd been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore. Your words cut deeper than a knife. Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I'm going under. But I know that I'll make it out alive. If I quit calling you my lover. Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe. Shaking, falling onto my knees. And now that I'm without your kisses. I'll be needing stitches. Tripping over myself. Aching, begging you to come help. And now that I'm without your kisses. I'll be needing stitches

Ashton's POV
Isang ma-inggay na tunog ang gumising sakin. Napatingin ako sa orasan at bigla akong napatayo nang makita ko ang oras. 12pm. Biglang tumigil ang tunog na nang gagaling sa cellphone ko kaya kinuha ko ito para makita kung sino ang tumawag.
Anna.
Tinawagan ko ang dalaga at makalipas ang tatlong ring ay sumagot na ito.
"Ashy?", mahinang tawag nito.
"Hey Anna Banana"
"Listen.. Ash, I just want to.. ask sorry for what happened last night."
Napangiti ako sa dalaga, kahit na nasasaktan na siya, iniisip parin nito ang ibang tao. Napa-iling na lang ako dito.
"Heyy Anna, don't be sorry, okay? Actually, nag-aalala nga ako sayo."
"Okay lang ako, Ash", mahinang sagot nito sakin.
Ramdam ko na nasasaktan si Anna, lalo na ngayon at naiintindihan ko na silang dalawa ni Calum. Kailangan lang nila ibukas ang mga mata nila para makita nila ang katotohanan.
Flashback
Nilagay ng binata ang mga kamay nito sa ibabaw ng tuhod nito at yumuko.
"Cal", mahinang tawag ko dito.
"Ash, kasalanan ko lahat to..", tumingin sa harap nito ang binata.
"What do you mean?", naguguluhan kong tanong dito.
Tumingin sakin si Calum. Sakit at takot ang nakikita ko sa mga mata nito. Takot na ipag-tapat ang katotohanan at ang sakit na matagal na nitong tinatago.
"I never wanted to leave. I never wanted na umalis sa London, Ash. I never wanted to hurt Anna.. Why would I? ..She's my best friend, the only one that I really care about."
"I don't understand", naguguluhan kong sabi sa binata sa harap ko.
"When you told me that you saw me in London the day na lumabas kayo kasama si Anna ...I was really there, Ashton."
"I knew it", mabilis na sagot ko dito.
"....I was there to check on her. Miss na miss ko na si Anna", bigla itong napangiti na parang may magandang alaala na na-alala. "There was this kid who has a crush on Anna, I promised him that one day, I'll bring him to her. He said that Anna was sad without me.
