No lies can be hide from the truth. Even though they want me to be alright without telling the truth. They choose to fool me and pretend to be ok and live in a normal, like nothing happen. Paano nilang nagawa ito sa akin? Binigay ko sa kanila 'yong tiwala ko pero anong ginawa nila? Niloko nila ako!

How they can live everyday without conscience? They're good in pretending and they choose to fool me in the world!

"Why did you slap me?" Wala akong makitang galit sa mga mata niya pagkatapos ko siyang sampalin.

"Mahal mo ba talaga si Ryleigh?" I ask and I saw in his eyes the guilt and sorrow.

"Jade?" Tawag sa akin ni Ryleigh at nagulat itong kausap ko si Steve.

"Jade, I want to tell you the truth." He said.

"What kind of truth would you like to tell?" I ask and I'm confuse now.

"Steve." Ryleigh said with please in her eyes.

"This is the right time, Ryleigh." Steve's said.

"Forgive me because I chose to fool you and leave for a very long time, forgive me if I let you be sad and live with others while you mourn and are alone Jade. I'm Dylan and I have no twins, I'm so sorry, Jade." he said.

I stunned for what he said. He's Dylan? H-how? I cover my mouth and I feel the tears come out on my eyes. He try to reach me, I don't want to touch by him!

"I still love you, Jade. I've never stop loving you even though I'm married to Ryleigh, please forgive me for what I did" he's trying to near me again.

"H-how?" This is the only word I can say. How did they do this to me? Is this a plan? For what? For my sake?

"Jade, please hear me first and let me explain." Steve, no, he's not! He's Dylan! Why I can't notice it? He's good on pretending since that day. 

He make me believed that he has a twin and make excuses for what he did!

"So, this is a plan? Ryleigh?" I ask and look Ryleigh who stunned and starting to cry.

"Jade, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie on you. I always wanted to tell you everything but I'm scared that we will end up our----"

"TELL ME! IT WASN'T TRUE?" I can't help myself to shout and I don't want to process what she said.

"Please, don't shout at her. It's my fault, Jade. This is all my plan. I can't hide this anymore so that's why, we're here to tell you the truth." Dylan's explain. I shrugged my head and I don't want to hear his explanations.

"I've been in an accident and have been coma for almost 4 months and when I woke up, I always find you and want to call but my parent stop me. Everything is set! I'll be married to Ryleigh because we're already engaged that time. I still loved you and I can't move on you, please, Jade." He said and starting to kneel on me while trying to reach me.

I felt down, my knees felt weakened and shaken and it didn't process in my mind. I want to be alone. I feel numb for everything.

"Get out." I only said.

"J-Jade." Ryleigh's call me and trying to be near me.

"I said get out!" 

I decide to go on my room when I heard Dylan shout.

"Ryleigh!!" 

Everything went fast. In the middle of the night, we're hear on the hospital. We took Ryleigh to the hospital when she's fainting on my condo and I don't know what happen to her.

"Jade, You need to go home and rest." Dylan said.

"She's still my friend. Whatever happen, I'm still be the whose responsible for whatever happen to her, I need to know her condition. Please stay away from me." I said with a cold voice.

Even though Ryleigh lying to me. I can't blame her for what happen but it really hurt, knowing the truth is kinda make you crazy and blind for everything. Based on her said, they're married because of the business but she's really in love with Dylan.

I check my phone if there's a message and I saw a 2 message from Jeydee that he's already home and asking what I'm doing now. I can't reply him now for what happen today, I'm not ready. I would have put my cellphone in my pocket when Jayson's calling. I don't know but I answered it instantly.

"Celestine?" He said first.

"J-Jayson." I starting to cry again when I hear his voice.

"Are you crying? Why?" He ask.

"R-Ryleigh is on the hospital and I don't know what happen to her. I'm worried." I said while crying.

"Where are you?" He ask.

"Hospital, near at the condo." I said.

"Wait for me, I'll be there." and Jayson hung up the call.

Maybe I need someone tonight and Jayson is my best friend. I know he'll understand my situation. I'm really confuse now on my feelings and I can't talk with Jeydee about this. 

I saw the doctor came out to the ER and looking for relative. I stood up and I see Dylan hesitant if he'll be near on me but I ignore it.

"H-He's the husband." and pointed to Dylan.

"Oh! Congrats, Mr. Fuenterico!" he stunned for what doctor's said.

"How is she?" I ask and the doctor look at me.

"She's alright now and her pregnancy is delicate so she should be taken care of. She will bring now to the private room, excuse me." and the doctor said then walk away.
.
She's pregnant? Why I don't see her morning sickness when she's with me? Is Ryleigh know that she's pregnant? I think no because she's drinking her wine a while ago, I know she will be careful, if she knows it.

I don't know if I would be happy on the news. Maybe if they didn't tell me the truth, maybe I'm so happy the she will be having a baby now.

"S-She's pregnant?" Dylan said out of nowhere.

"You don't even know her condition? She's drink a wine a while ago! What if the baby---"

"Celestine!" Jayson said running to me. I look at him.

"Jayson" I hug him tight and crying like a baby. 

"Shh, what happen?"

"Ryleigh is being fainting and she's pregnant." I said and sob.

"Then why are you crying?" He ask while touching my hair.

"T-They fool me and it really hurts, Jayson. I-I thought he's already gone." 

"J-Jade---" I heard Dylan call my name.

"Who?" I can't voice out his name but I look to the man leaning on the wall and look like stupid.

I didn't notice that Jayson came to Dylan and punch him. I instantly hug Jayson on his back to stop him.

"I thought you'll never come back and never show up your face to Celestine!" He shouted.

"I'm sorry and I can no longer hide it anymore, Jayson." Dylan's said while looking down.

"Jayson, what do you mean? You know everything?" I asked but he pull me and came out on the hospital until we reach the parking lot.

It's hurt! Even my bestfriend hide it to me!

"Jayson! Answer me!" I asked with frustration but he only hug me.

"I don't want you to hurt anymore, Celestine." He said. 

I punch his chest because I'm mad. I gotta feeling that he knows everything.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you everything first. I thought you'll never find out." I'm crying now on his chest. It feels heavy, I trust him the most.

"You choose to hide it, Jayson! You choose it! Why did you do this to me?" I shout.

"Because I love you, Celestine!" I stunned for what he said. He loves me? As a friend? I know that---

"It hurts for me! Every time I see you and looking for him everyday its makes me painful!"

I don't see his face but he's starting to tight his hug and he being soft now.

"I love you more than friends. You're my precious, Celestine and I'll do everything to make you happy." I cry for what he said.

"I found out when I saw him with Ryleigh. I didn't face them because I don't want to be cause of any trouble, even though I want to punch him until he die!" I feel his angry.

"I want to tell you what I saw but I decided to keep it on myself and talk to Dylan alone. He told me everything, he's already engaged for almost 3 years before he came to our life." I feel his kiss on my head.

"He cheated on you, he's never been faithful to you, Celestine. Now, he have an own family, I want you to be wise and accept the fact."  He said again.

He's always be there when I need someone to talk about my problem, with the full of struggle in life, he's the one call away person I know.

I'm tired, really tired for knowing the truth. I can't take this anymore.
