I was in a good mood again.After school,Lia waited for me outside.I held her hands and kept it tightly.
We went straight to the garden.I didn't know that she brought a radio.
—Music played—
(Passenger Seat by Stephen Speaks)
She held my hand and asked for a dance.I grabbed her waist and and glared at her.
"Your the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."
We danced passionately and I saw the caretaker of the garden taking photos of us.I wasn't mad,I'll be proud to shout out loud that this is my girl and mine alone.
I bought some food but still...she said she's not hungry.She was just watching me while eating a lot and laughed at me for being obsessed with the foods.
I treasured all our moments together.Either were in the rooftop or in the garden,all that matters to me is that were together.
She went and played at the fountain.
I took a picture of her but I never looked at the captured photo.I stared at her for a long time and that is like one of the best part of my day.
"Hey!"She said.
"You know what,you always seem bothered everytime were together."She added
"It's just that....are you leaving me again?"
While she was finger-combing her hair,she stopped as she heard my question.
"Why are you asking such question?"
"Because I fear that.....I fear that you would leave me again without telling me the reason why."
"Jake,I already told you that I left because I had to.You don't need to worry about anything anymore."
She leaned on my shoulders and held my hands.I can't just fade away the fear of loosing her again but.....I trust her,I don't know why I'm so obsessed about her anyway.But I need her,that's all I know.
*At school
"Hey Tod,wait up!"I saw Tod so I called him.
"Uhh hey...."He said with a bothered voice.
"Something wrong man?"I asked.
"Uhh....it's just my parents,that's all."He said.
We went straight to the classroom.While I was observing Tod,he seemed bothered.I've never seen him like this just because of his parents.He doesn't care so much of his parents or anything that they say and do.He seemed like....lying to me.
Even though how hard I try to ask him about what's going on,I couldn't reach out on him.I think that he needs a privacy to handle his situation right now.
At dismissal time,I tried to talk to him but he's like avoiding me.I saw his Mom picking him up from school and they seemed to be in good understanding.I don't know what's going on with him.I couldn't bare to loose a friend too.
When I got home,my uncle recognized that I was so bothered so he tried to talk to me.He told me to carry the other chair and place it in front of him so we could talk.
"Tell me everything."He said.
"Well uhhh...It's about Tod."
"What about Tod?"
"He seems to be avoiding me and I don't know why."
"Maybe,he's just having a little family problem.I heard her father got involved from the crime at Guiverra's place."My uncle stated.
"Really?"I asked out of curiosity.
"Well,that's what I've heard."He added.
Then I realize that maybe he's just ashamed of what his father did.I think that was the reason he was avoiding me,because he thinks I might think of him as someone like his father...in which I would've never thought of.Tod is a great man and his parents is way too far from him.
I decided to stop thinking about Tod anymore.I tried to look at Lia's photo I captured lately.I was shocked so I dropped the camera.I tried to look at it again but...
THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE PICTURE.
