Harley:
Sa bahay namin. Diba galing tayo ng practice kagabi?
Pauwi na ko, nasa gate na ako ng sub nakita ko siya nag lalakad pauwi.

Oli:
Papunta na ako, bro. Tang ina.

Harley:
Don't tell your girlfriends. Hindi pa alam ng beergins to. Let Scottie tell them. Hindi tayo.

Axl:
Okay kikilos na ako. Be there in 15 minutes.

Lucas:
Uy, papunta na din ako. Bili ako pagkain para satin.
Kamusta si Scottie? Ano ba nangyari?

Harley:
Ayun nga, nakita ko siya. Tas syempre tinigil ko yung kotse, tinawag ko siya. Pag lingon niya umiiyak. Tang ina. Nag panic ako syempre baka may nangyari sakanya, tas tumakbo siya sakin umiiyak, nakita ko na may sugat sa bandang lips niya.

Axl:
Uy putang ina? Pare may gumalaw ba sakanya?
Ano papahanap na ba natin?

Reid:
Fuck?

Harley:
Wala, hindi yun pero his fucking ex boyfriend slapped her and dragged her out of his condo. Nakita ko yung cellphone basag kasi tumatawag yung gago. Pinatay nalang niya.

Lucas:
Uy putang ina?? Sinong ex niya?

Harley:
Greyson Aquino? Nadulas siya eh. Anyone of you knows him?

Axl:
Sila ni Scottie? Eh kupal yun nuon pa man eh. Lagi madaming babae.

Harley:
Ex niya daw, on off daw sila, I think 9 months na silang di official sabi ni Scottie. Tas binigyan niya ng chance. Idk man, yun lang sabi niya.

Axl:
Tang ina ng hayop na yun. Pero how's Scottie?

Harley:
Tulog ngayon, nag papahinga. Btw, anyone of you knows someone sa globe that could process Scottie's line to change numbers?

Reid:
Tito ko. I'll message him. I'll get the details later nalang.

Harley:
Aryt. Thanks, bro.

Hey, can you tell the boys not to tell anyone about this?
Please? I don't want my friends to know yet.

Already told them, di naman nila sasabihin.
We're not in the position to tell anyone and ayoko
pangunahan ka sa desisyon mo.
Are you okay? Do you want anything?

No, dito muna ko sa room mo okay lang?
Can you tell them sorry, di ako nag tagal. I'm just really really tired.

Yes, it's okay. They understand.
You can stay here as long as you want.
You want some ice cream? I'll buy some for you?

I'll go home din later pag alis nila. Nahihiya lang ako magpakita rn. No need na, too much na yung inasikaso mo ko since last night.

Wala ka dapat ikahiya.
There is no shame in what happened to you okay?

It's just Asia already told me to leave him, over and over again and I'm not listening, baka lang mainis siya sakin na ganito yung nangyari. I feel like it's so stupid of me to tolerate his asshole behavior and this is what I got.

I get it, you love him. It's not easy to leave
the person that you love and it takes so much
strength to break an abusive and toxic cycle. No one should be judged for staying in a bad relationship,
no one should be told "i told you so" because
they are not in the position to say anything.
I know Asia means well kasi mahal ka niya,
and I don't think she will be mad at you for staying
and I know na she will be there for you
with whatever you decide with your next step.

Totoo, hindi naman kasi ganun kadali eh. Nahirapan din naman ako. I just don't want her to know na I ended up like this. Tho I know they will understand and support me.
Pero hindi muna ngayon ako mag oopen up.

Take your time. I will be here to help you,
and of course your friends din.
Btw what are you going to do with your phone?

Idk. Bibili akong bago basag screen eh and may damage na din ata yung lcd ko.

Samahan kita bukas bumili ng bagong phone.

Hala? Wag na. This is too much na, nakakahiya na.

No, it's okay. I want to make sure din na safe ka kasi diba tinatawagan ka pa din ng gago mong ex?

Oo, hanggang ngayon. Di ko lang pinapansin.

What is your plan with that asshole?

Wala na, tapos na. Ayoko na. I've stayed long enough, endured the verbal abuse and mental abuse that he cause. Ayoko na. I just don't know how to tell him. I'll try tho.

Okay, sabihan mo lang ako if need mo na samahan kita para dun.

1:32 am

Hey, thank you uli ha? Tsaka sa pag hatid,
di mo naman na kailangan kasi hello katabi
lang ng bahay ko yung bahay mo? Hahaha.

It's okay. Glad I could help.
Mag pahinga ka na. Goodnight 💤
