Chapter 10 – I Hope This Makes You Happy
Anthony's Point of View
As Ian went outside to do what he has to do, I spent my time editing our video for this Friday. I checked the time, and I was already done in an hour. I head out to meet Skye; I can't let Ian win anyways. He's right; he could still take away Skye from me. I won't let that happen; never.
When I opened the door, I can see Ian hugging Skye. I stood there, trying to control my emotions.
He's serious; I guess he can play dirty.
I calmed myself as he let go of Skye. I went on walking, until Skye asked a question to Ian.
"Ian, do you look at me the way Anthony does at me?"
I was shocked, not because I don't know about Ian's feelings, but because Skye somehow knows about his feelings.
Why didn't she tell me about this?
"What Skye?" I suddenly asked her as I went closer. "What do you mean?"
"A-Anthony..?"
Ian looked at her with a shocked expression, and looked at me as well. He looked again at Skye, before answering her question for him. "… yes, I do."
Skye covered her mouth in surprise. "I-Ian… does Anthony know?"
"Of course; he told me everything."
"So you weren't lying about last night – "Skye suddenly said; I gripped my hands at her shoulders, really tight.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN LAST NIGHT?" I screamed right in front of her face.
Skye's Point of View
I almost squealed when Anthony screamed. His grip from his hands makes it harder.
"WHAT THE HELL ANTHONY!" Ian tried to take off Anthony's hands from my shoulders, "CAN'T YOU SEE SKYE'S HURTING BECAUSE OF YOU RIGHT NOW?" He screamed as Anthony slowly took off his hands, slightly teary-eyed.
"S-Skye…"
I backed out, trying to search myself.
"Anthony – I can't believe you. We're over." I know I was going to cry, but I fought it. I can't cry at him, now that I see what he can do. "Ian, I'm glad we had this conversation. Take care." I slammed the door for Anthony. My shoulders still hurt.
I never knew you, Anthony.
I was stupid, thinking that you'll be the same.
I was stupid, thinking that you will never change.
I don't know you, Anthony.
I should have said no.
Anthony's Point of View
As Skye slammed the door, tears were falling from my eyes.
That's it, I lost her. I screwed it all.
"Anthony…" Ian was looking at me with sympathetic eyes. I glared at it.
"This is what you want, right?" I said as I pulled my hair many times. I can't imagine when I lost her, and she'll be in Ian's arms. I grabbed Ian and pushed him to the wall.
"What the hell man!"
I cried in front of him, still pushing him at the wall.
"You'll be the one who'll have her; you'll be the one who'll be happy with her; you'll be the one that she'll love; not me…"
Ian's Point of View
A part of me wants them to break-up, but not this way. Not Anthony is looking so miserable, not Skye looking so hurt. It hurts for me as well, seeing two of my most important people in my life this miserable.
"Anthony, look at me. Stop crying. I don't want any of these to happen."
He pushed me harder to the wall in anger.
"YOU DON'T WANT ANY OF THESE TO HAPPEN? DO YOU REALLY EXPECT FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT, HUH IAN ANDREW HECOX? I lost her! And you played a HUGE role in it!"
I looked at his poo-poo eyes, trying to calm him down a bit. "Anthony please just let me speak."
"Not in a million years Ian."
This time, I tried to push him.
"DAMMIT ANTHONY PADILLA, JUST LISTEN TO ME, JUST THIS ONCE!" I pushed harder as he pushing me as well. When I got out of the wall, I pushed him to it this time.
"I'm listening now." He said as he looked down as a sign of defeat. I sighed before I talked.
"Look Anthony. I don't know what she was talking about. I was only asking if she know anything what happened last night, then she asked me that question. I have no idea what happened last night."
I loosen the grip as he calmed down as well. There was an awkward silence between us.
"I'll go home." Anthony said.
"Okay."
As he we went on, I sat right in front of their door. I'm not sure what I'll do today. I stared at the trees, trying to analyse what in the world just happened.
All of the sudden, Mike opened their door, looking as if he'll kill someone.
"WHERE'S ANTHONY?"
I looked at him very weird. "He's at our house. Why?"
"I'll kill him – he broke my precious sister's heart."
"He won't die that easily."
"Trust me Ian, he will." He said as he stretched right in front of me. "Can you comfort Skye for me, Ian?"
I looked at him. "Are you sure?"
"She needs you more than anyone."
"She needs Anthony, not me."
"I don't think so. She needs someone who truly loves her, who cries every night wishing he was Anthony, and thinks that he'll do better than him."
"I'm not that guy."
He looked at me. "You are that guy."
I smiled as he said that. "Don't kill Anthony, Mike. I'll get sad, as well as Skye. Just beat him up a bit hard. Just don't kill him." I said as I went inside their house.
He nodded, "alright then. Good luck, my soon to be brother."
I flicked at him before closing the door.
Anthony's Point of View
I went at my room. I looked at the unopened box that Skye gave to me on our first month. I opened it, and I saw a note, with a keychain of a rainbow lollipop inside, and a picture of the teddy bear I gave to her when I confessed to her.
"Anthony,
Can you believe it? It's been a month since we started dating. That teddy bear is mine for a month already. You are mine for a month already.
And now it's over. She's not mine anymore.
I love you Anthony. I can't promise you for how long, but as long you love me, I'll do the same.
Stay the same, Anthony. Stay the Anthony that I'll always love.
Love, Skye"
Tears fell down to my cheeks. It's pathetic. I'm pathetic. Everything around me is pathetic.
I buried myself at my bed, soaking my pillow with my tears.
It hurts more than I could imagine.
I shouldn't have done that.
As I drown my own thoughts with my tears, someone charged at my room.
"ANTHONY PADILLA!"
And before I knew it, I'll be dead.
Sorry if these last chapters kind of sucked… I've been really busy these past days, which leads to a bit rushed chapters. T_T
I'm now done talking.
