"Are you sure you don't want us to take you to the airport?" Lola ko yung nagtanong. Nawata nakang ako.

"Nana... you already ask me that few times already and my answer is still the same. No... I'm old enough for this." I even wink at her just to assure her and stop her from worrying.

"That's right mom. My princess is a big girl now and she's just being independent." And that's my ever supportive dad. My mom just laugh at my dad. Napa-iling nalang ako.

Hindi naman nagtagal at lumabas na sila ng kwarto ko. Pinagpatuloy ko naman ang pagi'empake.

Nandito ako ngayon sa State sa bahay ng Lola ko. At pauwi na ako ng Pinas mamaya. Ano na nga bang nangyari at bigla akong napunta dito?

Well... It's been few weeks since James was discharged from the hospital. He stayed there for atleast two weeks and take another week to have his neck brace removed. And that is the only good thing that happened. Because being in that state means James, can't do his normal routine which is being AJ Trinidad the vocalist of HeartBeat Stop. Lahat ng naka line up nilang gig for the rest of November as well as December ay na - cancel.

Everything was normal then. I would visit and take care of James at the hospital everyday. He's my usual happy go lucky James. Even though he's in that hospital bed he would always make me smile as if nothing happen to him.

But everything changed a week after his discharged. I know for the fact na wala na silang gig dahil nga sa nangyari. The doctor advice him to take few more weeks to rest dahil sumasakit ang ulo pag sobrang ingay ng paligid o hindi naman kaya nag o-over think sya o na-stress. But he would always tell me that he's too busy that he find it hard to text or call me. I always initiate the moves. I would text him magre-reply sya pero hindi nakagaya ng dati, parang isang tanong isang sagot ang nangyayari. Tatawag ako he would answered pero ang cold nya. Parang hindi sya ang James na kilala ko. If i want to see him lagi syang may excuse. I know that something has changed i just choose to ignore it and understand him. I told myself to just give him time. Na baka malungot lang sya dahil hindi nya magawa ang gusto nya, hindi sya makapag perform... hindi sya makakanta.

Guys hate clingy girls Jessie. Kaya wag ka maging clingy. Wag ding nagger! - I always told myself that.

I was looking forward para sa Christmas dahil sabi ko... this year will be our first Christmas together as a couple. I even thought of not going home here in the States just so i can be with him. Lagi kasi ganun... our family would always celebrate Christmas sa bahay ng grandama ko sa States. Parang family reunion na kasi namin yun. But i took the last minute flight to New York that day because i don't want to spend my Christmas alone. Because I'm hurt... my heart hurts.

I'm getting teary eyes just remembering that day.

It's been a week since i last saw James and a few days since i last talk to him. It's already 24th of December oras nalang ang bibilangin bago magpasko pero wala pa rin akong balita sa kanya. So i called him, kung wala man syang plano on how we would spend Christmas okay lang. Ang mahalaga sa'kin magkasama kami sa araw na yun.
