After watching sunset, cole and I went to her house dahil kukunin nya yung spare key ng bahay nila kase yaching and rachel will be sleeping over sa bahay ng friend ni rachel

It's almost night bago kami makarating sa bahay nila at saktong bumuhos ang malakas na ulan

Pag pasok namin ay nakita namin na naka ready na sina yaching at rachel

"May susundo ba sainyo dito?" Tanong ni cole

"Oo ate yung driver ng classmate ko parating naman na daw sila sinindo pa kase yung iba" sabi ni rachel na mukhang excited na

"Sige mag ingat kayo, yaching alam mo na paki bantayan po si rachel painumin nyo ng maraming tubig tapos bawal pa yan uminom ng any alcoholic drinks tapos yung pawis nya tapos-"

"Ate malaki na ako oh tyaka memorize ko na yang sinasabi mo eto naman mag ssleep over lang eh"

"Sobra ka naman sa kapatid mo" sabi ko

"I'm just reminding them at baka pabayaan nya yung sarili nya" cole

May bumusina sa harap ng bahay nila at yun na nga ang sundo nina yaching at rachel

"Bye ate see you tomorrow? Mag ingat ka dito ate" sabi ni rachel at niyakap si cole bago sumakay sa sasakyan

"Pano ba yan una na kami? Ikaw na bahala dito? Anong plano mo?" Tanong ni yaching

"Hihintayin lang po namin na humupa ang ulan ihahatid ko na din naman si ate yza"

"Osige mauna na kami ha mag ingat kayo" sabi ni yaching at sumakay na rin sa sasakyan

"Manong drive safely" sabi ni cole

"Opo ma'am sige po alis na po kami" sabi ng driver at umalis

Bumalik kami sa bahay nila and we decided to watch a movie since hindi pa naman humuhupa ang ulan

Pumwesto na ako dito sa sofa habang si cole naman ay nag luto ng popcorn at fries bago kami manood

We're watching tick, tick...boom. we were in the on the couch and I was resting my head on Cole's chest throughout the movie

I noticed that cole was quite and I realized she fell asleep when I looked up on her face

I turned the tv off and quietly separated my body from hers, I gently laid her body to rest and covered her with a blanket

I watched her sleep peacefully

After a few minutes I decided to lay down beside her and sleep, with her arms wrapped around me

Cole's warmth calmed me, it made me feel safe

"Ate yssa!"

"Dad! mom! dont leave me don't leave us"

"Babe!"

"Babe don't leave me"

"A-ate y-yssa!"

I woke up to the sound of cole crying. She was dreaming

"Cole.coley.cole, wake up!" As she opened her eyes she got up and hugged me like she hasn't see me in years

"It's okay cole, I'm here" I softly said while rubbing her back

Seeing her in that situation hurt me. Cole was never fond of showing her emotions, that's why people thinks she's cold-hearted.

"It hurts, yz. Everything hurts"

"I know, I know"

"My nightmares is back and it's killing me again"

"What happened in your dream?" I asked

"Like my past. People leaving, leaves me, and I can't please them to stay..."

"I think you need to see a professional"

"No, yz i-im okay"

"Why?"

"It'll do me no good, I'm fine. I have you"

"If you say so but if the dreams get worse, you can atleast give it a try?"

"Okay... if it will get worse"

I'm about to asked her about who's those people she mentioned in her dreams when she stands up

"Now we need to take you home since the rain stopped na, baka galit na si tito sakin"

"He don't, Alam nya naman na umulan"

"I hope so, tara na" she said and put the plates in the sink before we leave their house

who are those people she mentioned in her nightmare?? At bakit ganun na lang ka traumatize si cole...

"Hey you're back san kayo galing?" Tanong ni kuya pag bukas ko ng gate

"We stayed at cole's house muna when it unexpectedly rained"

"Oh okay sige pasok na kayo, mom and dad is there at the living room still watching movie" bro said

Pag pasok namin ay nakita ko sila na naka pwesto sa sofa at nanonood with my two siblings din seating in the floor

"Wow movie marathon" I said and they turned their backs at us

"Finally you've arrived na" my sister said

"San kayo galing? Where did you go, umulan pa naman" my dad asked

"We stayed at Cole's house muna dad nong umulan" I said as I pull cole to seat with me in the chair

"Ay bat naman doon you have house here sis"

"Cole needs to get her spare keys sa bahay nila after namin manood ng sunset coz her sister and yaching will be sleeping over sa bahay ng classmate nya when it suddenly starts to rain sakto at nandon na kami" I said

"Okay buti hindi kayo nabasa ng ulan?" Mom asked

"Hindi naman po tita, hinintay talaga namin na tumigil ang ulan"

"Okay tama na yang interview let's continue the movie marathon bago pa ako ma antok" my sister said

"Luh andaya nyo it already started" sabi ko

"Kakasimula pa kang nyan wag kang oa"

"Fine" sabi ko at sinandal ang ulo ko sa balikat ni cole

(San kayo jan hindi man nasimulan ang movie atleast may balikat na nasasandalan habang nanonood)

Gen's POV

They're watching movie for almost two hours and some of them are already feeling sleepy

Si yzabel naman ay nakatulog na habang naka patong parin ang ulo nya sa balikat ni cole

Naging komportable na ito sa kanyang pag tulog at yumakap pa kay cole

"Mukhang komportable sya sayo cole ah" sabi ng kuya ni yzabel

"Oo nga po, nararamdaman ko na ang bigat nya" sabi naman ni cole at tumawa sila

"Yzabel wake up go to your room na, you continue your sleep there" sabi ng mom nya

Pero dahil sa sobrang antok ni yzabel ay hindi nya ito pinansin at yumakap pa ng mahigpit kay cole kahit nasa harap sila ng pamilya nya

"I guess I'll carry her na lang pa punta sa taas" sabi ni cole

"Sure ka kaya mo?" Tanong ng kuya ni yzabel

"Opo"

Binuhat nya si yzabel papunta sa room nito sa taas at pinahiga mg maayos sa bed nito

"Sleep well" bulong ni cole at hinawi ang buhok ni yzabel na naka harang sa mukha nito

Nag stretching muna si cole bago umalis sa room nito at bumaba

"Tita ill gonna go ahead na po"

It was past 9, and yzabel's mom insisted on letting cole stay

"Wag ka na umuwi dito ka na lang muna, magpalipas gabi ka nalang dito" sabi ng mom ni yzabel

"Tita okay lang po ako I can handle myself"

"Cole dito ka na mag overnight tyaka kung uuwi ka mag isa ka lang naman don diba edi dito ka na lang, malinis na din yung guest room namin so pwede ka na don matulog" pagpupumilit ng kuya ni yzabel

Cole doesn't have choice kundi ang mag overnight nalang din sa bahay ng mga divinagracia

Umakyat na si cole na isipan na tignan muna si yzabel sa kwarto nito

She quietly entered yzabel's room where she saw yza sleeping peacefully in her bed, hugging her favorite stuff toy

Cole smile at the sight, it was the yzabel that she met. The soft, peaceful yzabel. The girl that she wishes to spend her life with forever

Cole felt peaceful just seeing yzabel peaceful in sight

"You'll get by... with a smile..." cole starts to sing

"You can never be too happy in this life..."

"Baby you don't have to worry.."

"Cause there ain't no need to hurry" yzabel softly sang along

She's been awake since Cole entered her room

"No one ever said that there's an easy way.." yza sing

After hearing yza sing, cole realized that the latter has been crying

"Umiiyak kaba? What's wrong?" Tanong ni cole

"It's nothing... sorry"

"Hey look at me, you can tell me anything diba? Kaya nga andito ako e" cole said and hold yzabel's chin to face her

"I'm just scared.. that's all"

"Scared of what?"

"I'm scared that you'd eventually leave, cole"

"Hey calm down... I'm not gonna leave you okay? Dito lang ako, dito lang si cole"

"I'm sorry im just scared, I'm sorry for doubting you" yzabel said

"I'm sorry yz... kasalanan ko naman e, it's my fault for not giving you the certainty that you deserve"

"I'm sorry you have to deal with a damage mess like me" cole continued

"But it's my choice cole, I'm glad you're in my life. I'm just have fears and doubts"

"And I can't blame you for that, your feelings are valid yz, naiintindahan ko na natatakot ka pero hindi ako mawawala, dito lang ako" cole said

"Promise yan, the stars witnesses of that promise" cole.

"Okay? Kaya tahan na, cole is here" cole said and hugged yza

They stayed hugging each other for few minutes and cole broke the hug

"I'm gonna go sleep sa guest room so... goodnight? Sleep well, take a rest na we still have class tomorrow" cole said and leave the room

Yzabel's POV

I know that you'll give me the certainty that I deserve cole

And I can wait for you till you're ready

But I'm confused cole, people around us  starting a conversation about your past then suddenly cuts off and that lead me to my curiosity about who you really are

And I hope you can tell me things about you

🐧🗼 hope you enjoyed reading
