Catching Mr. Dreamboy

#Chapter 26: That moment when SH*T kept falling from the sky.

(A/N: Napakaigsi ng chapter na yun. Pero effect kasi first time na nagsama ang lahat ng cast sa iisang chapter, sa iisang lugar. I mean yung talagang complete na kasama silang lahat sa scene kahit na tameme lang si Jamie dun, haha. I feel so fulfilled. Shocked din naman ako. Hello? Hahaha. Pero di hamak naman na talagang mas gwapo si Marco kesa kay Dylan, haha. bleeeee. Basta ganun, eto na yung Chapter 26. Enjoy, kung maari lang po, walang namimilit! haha. Kahit na hindi kagandahan ang title.)

"What the Hell are you doing here!?", I wanted to punch him in the face but Marco held my hands and tried to stop me.

"Bro. Calm down."

"No, I am not calming down."

"Bro. People are staring."

I stopped for a minute and tried to look around. People are looking at me. I gave my dad a dead gaze and sat down. Shit! Yes, shit is happening! And to make matters worse, my dad is here. Just perfect.

"Son, you need to calm yourself for a minute so we can talk about this."

"CALM!?! Calm my ass! In times like this how can you ask me to calm down!? I have been preparing to take this role for as long as I can remember! This is just great you know! I mean, what the hell! You think it's a nice feeling to have yourself wanting something and then have it taken away from you in just a minute? No, that is not OK. This is bullshit!"

I stood up and just walked out of that restaurant. I don't want to see any of their faces.

"Bro....Sorry..."

I didn't notice, Marco was following me.

"No, bro. Don't be sorry."

"No, kasalanan ko bro. Dahil sa mga pinag gagagawa ko, nagkaleche-leche na. Andami ko kasing alam. Wag kang mag-alala bro. Hindi ko tatanggapin ang deal."

"Are you insane bro? It's your break! Just take it."

I said coldly. I wanted him to leave.

"I can't take that away from you. I've been in this place for too long bro and surprisingly, I got used to it. Alam ko kung gaano mo gusto ang role na 'to. Hindi ko yun aagawin sa'yo."

I looked at him for a moment. Then I looked away. "The role no longer concerns me. You deserve it, bro. What makes me angry is that I'm hurting my pride. Napahiya ako sa hinayupak kong tatay bro! Isipin mo, ilang beses kong ipinamukha sa kanya na hindi ko siya kailangan. Yung mga oras na hindi ko siya pinansin. Tapos ngayon pupuntahan niya ako at ico-comfort? Bro, hindi tama yun, nasasaktan ang ego ko."

"Baka dahil tatay mo siya at nakukuha niyang ipadama sa'yo na nandyan siya kahit anong mangyari.", sabi niya habang umuupo sa tabi ko. Naka 10 minutes na din kasi kaming tumambay dito sa gilid ng highway.

"Tae! Tae siya. Plastic! Ngayon pa niya ako aalalahanin?"

"Kasi ngayon mo siya mas kailangan, alam niya namang gustng-gusto mo 'to."
