He walked down the hall to her bedroom, passing his own in his wanting to get to her. The door was open when he walked in, but the girl on the kama was not the one he was looking for. She looked up when he entered, an apologetic smile on her face.
“Is something wrong?!” he asked.
“No. Not exactly.”
“Where is she?”
“She's fine. She just had to get out for a bit.”
“Where is she?”
“California, I think.”
He blinked, the words catching him for the first time.
“Wait you mean she's not here at all?”
“That's right. She wanted to wait for you, but sinabi she was getting too restless. She needed a break.”
“When was this?”
“Early this morning. She left you a note. Here.”
She handed him a folded piece of paper to him and he opened it. He recognized her handwriting but something felt wrong. Unable to place it, he read the note.
Alek,
Sorry I can't be there right now. I wanted you to come with me, but couldn't stay anymore. Don't worry about me. I'll be back soon. I'm safe. I just needed to get back to old roots for a bit. Again, I'm sorry to leave without telling you, but I needed the room. I'll tell you everything when I get back. You can't call cause I don't have a phone. But I'll be back soon. Wish you could have come with me or could have told you in person. I pag-ibig you.
Tara
He looked up and saw the sorry smile on her face again. She gave a small shrug.
“She asked me to get it to you.”
“Thank you. Do you know when she'll be back?”
“She planned to return within a week.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
“Yeah.”
She watched him leave and let out a sigh.

The Face.
Everyday I wake up
and put on a face
that hides all of the tears, fears, thoughts, and feelings
that I deal with everyday.
Not many people even know the real me.
They know me as the happy, always smiling self.
They don't see the crying, upset, depressed me.
My mga kaibigan have no clue how hard it is to appear so happy,
when, on the inside,
I'm ready to scream or cry.
It's hard.
Only one person, including me, knows my real self.
If anyone else saw it,
they wouldn't be able to take it.
They don't know what it's like to live a lie
everytime I wake up.
Sick. Twisted. Not One Of You.
