One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 119: Parting time

~~~I remember the days when you're here with me. Those laughters and tears we shared for years. Mem'ries that we had for so long, it's me and you. Now you're gone away, you left me all alone. Go on, do what you want, but please don't leave me you'll break my heart.

Hey, what should I do, babe I'm missing you? Please don't disappear these are the words that you should hear~~~

I don't know how long I have been crying silently on the terrace until I felt a soft pair of arm embraced me from behind and I don't have to ask who it was. I know it's Jack.

She didn't speak, nor uttered a single word. She just tightened her hug as I started to cry again.

"Haist... when do you plan to stop crying?" She asked after a few minutes hugging me from behind. "My hands are getting numb, you know."

I couldn't help but chuckled as I wiped my tears.

"Finally!" She exclaimed, getting the other chair and sat down across my seat.

I looked at her, trying to smile but it turned out into sobs.

"Sam..." She took my hand that was resting on top of the table.

"Aren't you going to ask me what happened?" I asked her sniffing, but to my surprise, she shook her head.

"Nope, I don't have to because, judging from the amount of tears you shed and just by looking how miserable you are right now, I guess I already knew what happened."

I wiped my cheeks, pouting and fell into silence.

"So, what are your plans now?"

"I don't know." I shrugged. "Honestly, I'm confused and scared at the same time."

"You're confused---well, I kinda get it, but scared? What are you scared of?"

"Have you ever loved two people at the same time? Have you ever had to choose which of them you love more and leave the other? What if you make a wrong choice and in the end, you'll realize that the one you truly love is the one you didn't choose? Will you go back to the one you left or be forced to be happy with the person you chose?"
