Chapter 17 - It's not a bad thing

Edward texted me as soon as they landed in Cebu. He is already telling me how he misses me already and though I won't tell him, I also crave for his presence. It is like now, I don't feel complete without him by my side.

He would send me constant updates about everything. He also sent me messages full of "if you were here" such as, "If you were here, I'd just hold your hands the whole time", "If you were here, I would just stare in your eyes and get lost in them" and my favorite, "if you were here, I would just remind you how much I love you all the time so you could forget all the pain of the past". Just when I thought I couldn't possibly fall for him more, he proves me wrong.

It made me realize that when you set your heart free, it might actually not be a bad thing. After a few moments, he sent me a Youtube link and told me to listen to the song.

I know it is not a bad thing to fall in love with him because I already am. I just need to fix some issues within me and everything is going to be okay.

My parents informed me that my dad is driving me to Baguio tonight to my grandparents already. He would drop me tonight and come back to my mom tomorrow. I understand though because students get summer vacation but parents do not since they work through the summer.

I texted Edward that I would be going to my grandparents already. I started to pack my clothes that I would bring over, not a lot though because I do have my own bedroom there with my closet full of clothes. My grandma likes to shop for me even though I am not there just so they are ready when I go there for vacation. Being an only grandchild does have its perks, I grew up wishing for nothing more.

Edward replied to my text moments later.

Edward: You guys are travelling at night twin?

To Edward: Yeah, seems like it. It's just with dad actually, mom has work tomorrow and couldn't take a day off.

Edward: Okay, give me updates okay? I don't think I can sleep until I know you are safe in Baguio already twinnie.

To Edward: Okay twin. I will update you. I'll message you later, okay? Just packing some stuff.

Edward: Okay twin, I love you beautiful.

"Oh Edward, I love you too" I thought, too chicken to actually tell him those three magic words. I packed Edward's sweater as well because I now made a habit of sleeping in his sweater. Dad came around dinner time, and after we had dinner, we hit the road already. I texted Edward just to update him.

To Edward: On our way twinnie. Will update you when I get there.

Edward: Okay twinnie. Stay safe. Praying for your safe travel. Miss you!

To Edward: Miss you too. Enjoy there with your family. Say hi to Laura, Tito Kevin, and everyone.

Edward: Okay twinnie. Say hi to Tito.

"Dad, Edward says hi" I told my dad as I put my phone away.

"Oh, is he coming to Baguio this summer too?" he asked me

"Yes, he is coming with his sister next month." I told him.

"Oh, wow. I'm sure you guys will have a great summer" he told me since he knows how much fun last summer was for me because I met Edward.

I fell asleep while we are travelling and maybe because I was thinking of Edward before I fell asleep, I actually had a dream about him. My dad woke me up when he stopped at a gas station to buy coffee to keep him awake and use the washroom as well. I decided to use the washroom too since we still have an hour left to travel. I decided to buy a chocolate bar, a bag of chips, and coke as well to keep me awake. As soon as my dad finished paying, we got in the car and hit the road once again.
