"Slowly losing friends is a part of growing up, it's okay to have less but real ones"
___________
Aica's POV
*Continuation of flashbacks........
After he said those words, nanghina ako. Hindi alam ang gagawin. Sinasabi ko na nga ba eh, hindi magandang maging sila ni Ashley. If he can hurt me, He could also hurt my best friend.
"If you say any single words to Ashley, I swear to the highest peak of the mountains, even if you are a friend of her, I'm going to kill you!"-Pagbanta niya muli. Because I can't answer him back with words, I just nod to him.
Hindi ako natatakot sa sarili ko pero si Ashley ang ipinag-aalala ko. She must stay away from Xander.
Hahanap ako ng tyiempo at sasabihin ko sa kanya ang nalalaman ko.
Matapos niyang sabihin iyon ay mabilis siyang nawala sa paningin ko.
I saw a man sa gilid na kahina-hinala. His holding a camera? I just shrugged then drive home.
That's the time I call Ashley to inform her about that pervert man at the mall. She's shocked, I feel it while I'm talking to her on the phone. I badly want to tell her that his beloved boyfriend is the culprit but I think it's not a good idea so I just gave her a hint. Telling the DX symbol would be a big help.
I remember telling her that DX is Mr. Furrer but I don't know if she still remember it.
*End of flashbacks....

Ashley's POV
After hearing what Aica confessed, i cant helped but to cry. It's true, He's really a killer.
Binantaan niya pa si Aica? Wat dahel! I cry even more. Aica is hugging me, she's comforting me.
He threatened Aica. How dare he threaten my best friend? He's merciless, a monster himself. I can't believe what he's doing. I'm unaware of his actions.
"Im sorry Aica for putting you in this trouble."-I said while sobbing. I can't believe i fell inlove with a monster, with a killer.
"Shhhhh, this isn't your fault."-She said gently. I really love how Aica care for me. She's a definition of the real friend. A true and a real one.
"Thank you sa paghatid Aica."-We bid our good byes. Pumasok ako sa loob ng bahay. Wala na naman sina mom at dad.
Dumeretso ako sa kwarto ko. Naligo ako at umupo sa kama, iniisip kung ano ang gagawin ko matapos malaman ang katotohanan.
Should i break up with him? It's for Aica's safety, and also for me. Kahit mahal na mahal ko siya ay kailangan kong gawin iyon.
I need to distance myself from him. Tutal ay malapit na ang graduation namin, Sasama ako sa L.A. kila mom. Maybe i can find a decent and good work there.
Hindi ko pa nakakausap si Xander tungkol dito, At alam kong hindi niya ako papayagang umalis. There's only one thing I know, And that is to break up with him.
Hindi ko alam kung tama ba itong iniisip ko. Pero ito ang gusto ko, baka ako ang saktan niya pag nagkataon.
Inisip ko ang sinabi ni Aica kanina. He's going to kill Aica once she told me the truth.
I'm thinking of Xander, On how I'm going to break up with him. And i'm planning for tomorrow. Maybe it's good to tell him earlier right?
My phone beep. Lumipat ako sa table at kinuha ito. The unknown number again.
From unknown number:
Xander is a killer my dear!
Yes he is! Kailangan ko siyang maka-usap bukas na bukas din.
Nahiga akong muli sa kama at yinakap ang unan ko.
Thinking of my memories with Xander makes me feel so bad. He's different from the Xander I used to love. How could he do such like those horrible things?
Is he out of his mind? Is this his secret that aunt Laila told me? That Xander is a killer? Maybe ito nga yon. The way tita Laila spoke at me that time ay natatakot siyang malaman ko ang totoo.
Tinawagan ko si Xander. Tutal magkikita naman kami bukas ay kakausapin ko siya.
"Baby!"-Bungad niya agad. He's really different when I'm talking to him, but in other people , iba ang trato niya.
"Hmmm"-i hummed. Finding words to tell to him.
"I miss you! Puntahan kaya kita ngayon?"-the way he spoke Tagalog is so cute. He occasionally speak tagalog.
"No need, Xander. We'll see each other tommorow."-mahinahong sagot ko. Baka kung pumunta siya dito ay hindi ko magawang makipag hiwalay sa kanya.
"Can you sing a song for me, baby?"-I want to hear his voice. Just for now.
"No need to ask baby cause i will!"-Napangiti ako sa sagot niya. Narinig ko ang pagtikhim niya.
(Baby, I love you by: Tifanny Alvord)
There are three words
That i've been dying to say to you
Burns in my heart, like a fire that ain't going out
There are three words, and i want you to know they are true.
I need to let you know..
Napaluha ako sa kanyang napiling kanta. I love you baby, but it doesn't mean na nakalimutan ko na ang mga ginawa mo.
I wanna say I love you
I wanna hold you tight
I want your arms around me
and I want your lips on mine.
I wanna say I love you
but, baby i'm terrified.
My hands are shaking
my heart is racing
cause it something I can't hide
it's something I can't deny
So here I go
Baby, I love you
"I love you so damn much, baby"-I cried even more when I heard him say that.
"I-i love y-you too, X-xande-r"-I response while crying silently. Pinipigilan ko para hindi marinig ni Xander ang aking paghikbi.
"I'll meet you tomorrow, baby. At your family restau."-I said in a low voice because I'm still sobbing.
"I will fetch you tomorrow, then. Are your parents came?"-Humina din ang boses niya.
"They're still in L.A. Maybe mom will arrive here tomorrow evening, she told me that before leaving the country."-Paliwanag ko naman. We talked a little before hanging up.
He's so sweet towards me but in other people? Bakit ka ganyan, Xander? Kailan ka pa naging ganyan?
You are scaring the hell out of me Xander!
