Nicholas's POV

          "Bro, where the hell are you? It's party time. You wouldn't want to miss this out. I'm sorrounded with beautiful asses! " said a voice from my phone. I heard a loud music in the background so probably the party has started. I'm not in the mood to go that's why he's pestering me right now. He's been calling me for the nth time already for pete's sake!

"I already told you I'm not going." i said in a bored tone.

"But why? I haven't heard your reason!" he's shouting from the other line because of the loud music. Can't he just get out first before talking to me? My ears hurt already! But yeah, he's with his bitches of course. He can't leave just like that.

"I'm not in the mood! And besides, my mom's home, she won't let me!" I am now half shouting just to let him hear me so I won't be able to repeat everything I say. He knows very well that I can't go anywhere when my mom is at home. You know, tryin' to be a 'good guy' in my mom's eyes.

" Don't try to fool me again dude! Tita will be back next week! So get your ass off there and be at my place as fast as you can!" I heard him laugh. F*ck! How the hell did he know about that? God, this is crazy!

"I'm off to sleep idiot! Don’t bother me, I'm hangin' up!"

"Oh c'mon don't be such a killjo----"

Hindi ko na sya pinatapos at agad na pinatay ang tawag. Alam kong hindi nya ako titigilan kaya't pati ang cp ko ay pinatay ko na. That jerk is really annoying and childish at times but yeah, he's my freakin' best friend. We've known each other since grade school at hanggang ngayon ay close parin kami as ever. Our friendship is staying strong and I hope it will last forever. Okay, cringe.

I heaved a sigh before going out of my car. I was on my way home when i decided to stop not too far from our Subdivision. A horrifying memory from almost a month ago flooded in my mind. I never told anyone what i saw that night. Even I, cant believe everything that happened or did it really happen? What if I was just hallucinating that time because of alcohol? Besides, nothing was reported in the news about that.

Pumasok ako sa makahoy na parte ng lugar. Huminto ako nang marating ko ang bangin. Dumungaw ako sa ibabang parte nito. Hindi naman ito kataasan kaya maaring makababa ang sino man nang walang kahirap hirap dahil maraming ugat na makakapitan. Mapuno ang parteng ito ng lugar at nag iisa lang din ang lamp post sa di kalayuan pero hindi rin sapat iyon upang mabigyang liwanag ang buong paligid.

Pasado alas 10 na ng gabi at medyo madilim ang kalangitan. Walang makikitang bituin sa kalawakan kaya marahil ay uulan. Aalis na sana ako sa lugar na iyon nang biglang may dumaang malamig na hangin sa aking harapan. Nagkibit balikat na lamang ako at isinawalang bahala ito. Maglalakad na sana ako ulit nang biglang may humarang sa aking daraanan. Napaatras ako sa gulat at muntik pang mahulog sa mababaw na bangin.

Shit!

"S-sino ka?"
