Chapter 24

Kianna POV

I was at the balcony after morning training. The others went to a bakery kaya wala pa mga teammates ko.

For the past year, I would always have this weird dream.....but I was awake. Its like im dreaming while awake. Theres this person in black that im with, at a concert. It was blurry but I know that theres this awfully familiar song playing but I just couldn't remember what it is. I would always think about it

FlashbackTyang and I went to Uptown that afternoon. It was a few months after my surgery so I had to hide my scar. Tyang met up with girls that she knew. I recognized one of them at Den. Si Dennise! She was one of the few people I remembered after the accident.

"Jump Then Fall" as I walked away, I heard this girl say. It stopped me from walking. That song.....its too familiar.-end-

"Jump then fall" I muttered as I looked up. It must mean something. I have a feeling that it would. I looked down and at my phone and searched it. Its a song....by Taylor Swift. I played it on spotify.

I like the way you sound in the morning,We're on the phone and without a warningI realize your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard

"Its 4am, Baby" I said while on the phone walking along the cold streets of Taft. Im on my wag to training.

"But you're my energy that I need in the morning" The person I was talking to whined. I laughed at this persons silly antics

I like the way I can't keep my focus,I watch you talk you didn't noticeI hear the words but all I can think is we should be together

"Let me handle the baking, baby" she said as she took the measuring cups and flour away from me seeing that I had put more flour all over my face, table, and air more than whats in the bowl.

And I laughed as she had to tickle me just to get me away from the batter that I kept on tasting."You're going to eat everything before they become cookies!" The girl teased as I laughed until my abs hurt so much.

Every time you smile, I smileAnd every time you shine, I'll shine for youWhoa oh I'm feeling you babyDon't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me

"Baby" tawag sakin. It was a gruelling 5 setter match. Game 3 of the finals."Congratulations!" She said and hugged me. We're at the middle of the court with everyone celebrating as the green confetti scattered around the floor.

"Thank youuuu" I said and kissed her cheek. She then gave me the Sunflower bouquet she was holding. The noise from the arena became deafening from how loud they were cheering."You're not sad arent you?" I asked her. But she chuckled

"Why would I? My baby won the championship!" She said while holding my hand, not caring about the thousands of people who are here to witness it."Is it bad that I celebrated when the ball landed on our court?" She joked.

"Rivals on court, Lovers outside the court" I muttered. Those...are memories! It somehow came back to me. But the girl.....the girl that was in there. I cant remember who that is.

"Why did I have to lose my memories" I asked myself frustrated. I didn't even realized I was crying. Those memories.... it made me feel like I miss something. Suddenly, I heard the sliding door open.

"You seem.....troubled" my annoying roommate asked. She was always like this. Like she shows no emotion at all!

"and now you care" I sighed. We were roommates before, years ago. But she was jolly back then. And we were close. But now, she gives me this cold treatment.

"Ever since day 1, you just act like I never exist. Would only approach me if you really needed to. Speak to me as little as possible" I said. She was speechless.

"What? You think I wouldn't notice?" I snapped at her but she just stared at me.... like she was examining me.

"you were crying" She stated the obvious. I faced her and I always get this weird feeling with her. Its like I knew her more than I think.... or that she's just plain weird.

"Clearly. But why are you acting like that?" I asked. Trying not to let her know that it really bothers me. Like I would spend hours ranting about her to Joy!

"I was..... being careful" She said and stepped back and went inside. What? Careful? I swear she becomes weirder and weirder!

I felt like everyone is becoming distant to me. Treating me different from before. They became gentle and it like they're afraid that they'll say something. Thats something I had to deal with after the accident.

Di na dapat yan bumalik

Baka nakalimutan na nyan kung pano maglaro

Madaming mas magaling na di nakakalimot ang pwede ipasok sa national team!

Umarte lang yan kay coach Ramil kaya nakapasok sa team.

I felt tears drop as I remember the things people say about me. They have their doubts and they say I didn't deserve to be here. Since I stopped playing for a while. Its not like I wanted this to happen to me.

Suddenly the rain poured in. I stayed there as overthinking invaded my head. I wished lighting would struck me. Or maybe I'll get sick and be kicked off the team. Its pathetic but I cant take the hate anymore! I cant!

Have you ever felt like whatever you do, it cant change things. Yesterday was a mystery to me. I could hardly remember anything from the past. Everyday, Im breathing but im not alive. Like theres always this missing piece and no matter what happens, I never felt whole. I had to struggle everyday with these random blurry memories that comes back but would only cause me to think about it. Because its unclear. Like theres still this missing piece in a puzzle.

"Get inside." After a while, I heard Bea talk. But I chose to ignore it"Inside. Now" She repeated but I just glanced at her. Why would she care?

"Magkakasakit ka." I felt her hand on my arms. She made me feel like she cares. She guided me back inside. But as soon as she closed the door, she hugged me tight. I felt safe. After a long time, I felt safe and warm. My heart fluttered and this might be weird, but I felt complete.

"I do care" she whispered and kissed my forehead. I felt relief and somehow this familiar feeling.

—————————"Hay nako kay Aly mo na ireklamo si Bea" said Majoy after I complained to her about Bea, again.

"Konti nalang iisipin kong crush mo" pabiro pa ni Tyang. I ended up rolling my eyes

"Malay mo naman magjowa pala sila sa past life" Majoy said, earning a hit at the arm from Tyang. Thank you, Tyang hahahaha"Yun nalang binubuga ni Kianna lagi eh! Inlove ka na ba kay Beadel?" Biro pa ni Majoy.

"Ha? Hindi kaya! Its just...... ang annoying nya! Yesterday morning, she cared tapos ngayon back to cold treatment ulit?" I said, annoyed. Pansin ko naman na nagkatinginan si Joy at Tyang. Oh ano naman problem nila?

"Tanong ko lang. Before my accident, did I have a girlfriend?" Bigla kong tanong. Nabitawan pa nga ni Joy yung hawak nyang book eh. They seemed shocked tho.

"H-Ha? Bat mo natanong?" Tyang stuttered. Ok ang weird nila.

"Its just..... yesterday. I suddenly remembered bits of memories when the song Jump Then Fall played. I could remember the moments but not the person. Kilala nyo?" I asked them. They were both speechless. May tinatago ba tong mga to?

"Meron." Tyang hesitated to answer.

"Who?" I asked.

"Si B-" before Joy could answer, Tyang covered her mouth.

"Magugulat ka, swish. Baka mapasama pa yung brain mo. Di pa fully healed diba?" Tyang said. Well... she was right. My memories needed to comeback naturally to be safe.

"But could you tell me kung anong relation nung song na Jump Then Fall? It triggered my memories" I asked them. They both were hesitating to answer

"You went to a Taylor Swift concert. Doon kayo naging official."Joy answered. I felt a pang in my head. I clutched it because it hurt so bad.

"Kianna ok ka lang?" I heard Ate Aby's voice from a distant.

I remember. Back in VIL. I remember everything back at VIL.

"Bea courted me during shs" I muttered and looked at them.

I ran from her.
