Yesterday.
I saw Giselle.
I don't know what came over me. Siguro... takot pa rin ako o hindi pa tuluyang nakaahon 'tong puso ko sa ginawa nila. I reacted negatively upon seeing her.
You know, Nat, it wasn't just him that put me to misery. But I really thought they were my friends. They understood and helped me when the store had problems so I was more betrayed at the fact that they approached me just to throw me to wolves.
I couldn't even face Rook afterwards. I haven't cried anymore but I did with him present. I didn't want him to see this weak and pathetic side of me.

Natalie:
carter, idk how many times i have to tell u this, crying doesnt make u weak
its a natural reaction to your emotions
its also a way to destress u know
kaya nga sabi nila cry ur heart out para maginhawaan
so its not weak, mas lalo nang hindi pathetic
and sa inyong dalawa ni rook, heh
parang siya naman yung mabilis umiyaq
sent • 8:36 am

Haha. Right? I told him that too.
Continuing the story, I declined the night-out that Kuya planned. And I guess... they must have met Giselle there too.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did after meeting her in the café. Since life is fucking cruel.
Kuya came home mad. Rook seemed mad on call and I knew Claude might have told them something.

Natalie:
what
wala siyang karapatang ishare yun
dapat ikaw magki-kwento
sent • 8:37 am

It's alright. It's the version that everyone knows. Not the one I told you.
But you see. He came here last night, asking me to get ice cream. Ayaw ni Kuya, siyempre, but with Ate Rachel here, wala siyang masabi.
And Natalie, like that time I cried to you, it felt like my heart lost its heavy weight after talking to him.
He listened. He didn't do anything. He didn't promise meaningless words. He just held me and for the first time in three years, I didn't have to control myself from being disgusted in a man's arms. Someone who's not family.

So I was thinking... Nat, is this the right time for me to step forward? To just exist again?
Or will I ruin things again?
delivered • 8:40 am

Natalie:
let me just say this
u didn't ruin things, they ruined u
and well, carter, if u think ur ready to move forward why not
u take the risk, i'll catch you if you ever fall
i'll wait with u outside the gates again hanggang sa makaya mong pumasok sa loob ng school
it's good that you're finally healing
so dont pressure yourself, okay?
nandirito lang kami ni gwapings sayo
kami ng bobong kuys mo at sina tita tito, si maya na rin kahit na abala sa bakery
isa lang naman hiling namin carter
