For you, I'll risk.

Us

"Can we go home now? Eren's wasted" sabi ko kay Rhys na kababalik lang sa table namin. Eren's really drunk. It's unusual that he is. Rhys looked at him at tinignan ako.

"What did you do? Ba't nalasing yan"

I rolled my eyes. I don't know? Nag uusap lang naman kami while he's taking shots and here he is lasing na.

"Ewan, baka broken hearted" I smiled wickedly. Umiling naman si Rhys at tinulungan akong itayo si Eren.

"I'm fine, I can walk. Hindi ako lasing" He mumbled. I rolled my eyes again. Eren grabbed my hand. I looked at him na nakakunot ang noo.

"Lead the way, Avery. Wag niyo ako buhatin. Nakakahiya"

"Ready ko lang ang kotse. Can you handle  him?" Tanong ni Rhys.

"Oo, hindi naman to magwawala. We're fine. I'll just led him patungong exit"

Tumango si Rhys at pumunta na sa exit. Maraming tao ngayon since it's friday. I tighten my grip sa kamay ni Eren and lead him outside.

"Ba't kaba nalasing? We were just talking" I tried to scold him as always.

These two boys will be the reason kung bakit ako tatanda ng maaga. I can't blame myself also, we've been together since were kids. So hanggang kamatayan na siguro akong nakadikit sa kanila.

"I can't hear you. Music's blaring" He can't hear me daw pero he knows na nagsasalita ako.

When we reach outside, binitawan ko na ang kamay ni Eren. When Rhys' car stopped in front of us, binuksan ko ang pinto at let Eren go inside. When I saw na he's okay. I opened the front door at sasakay na.

"What are you doing?" Eren asked. Tinignan ko siya when I sat at the front.

"Who are you talking to? Me or Rhys?"

"You, ba't ka nandiyan?" He asked.

"You don't want me here? Ano? Mag tataxi ako?" I laughed.

Eren groaned. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay na ba tayo? We'll be going" Rhys announced. I nodded.

"I'll stay with Eren tonight" I told Rhys. He nodded and smiled playfully.

"Just don't do something stupid" He chuckled. I chuckled too. That's impossible.

"Yeah, bro code" I laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Ano bang pinag-uusapan niyo?" Eren asked.

"Nothing, just stuff" Rhys smiled.

The ride went silent. I looked at the city lights. This is a good night except Eren's drunk which is unusual for him. Rhys is also shutting his mouth. These boys, they don't talk a lot and it's really fine with me. I'm not much of a talker also.

"I'll help you with Eren." Rhys assisted me as Eren went out of the car.

"I'm okay, Rhys. Thanks for the ride. I'll see you tomorrow" Eren smiled behind his drunk face. Rhys nodded.

"Text me if you need help, Goodnight you two. Behave yourself" Rhys laughed. I laughed also.

I waved goodbye at Rhys. As soon as umalis na ang sasakyan niya, I grabbed Eren's hand and led him inside.

Some of the people are still in the lobby. They are all familiar faces since palagi naman ako nandito sa condo ni Eren together with Rhys.

When we were at the front of his unit. Binitawan ko saglit ang kamay niya and I pressed the buttons sa passcode. When the door opened. Eren went inside first and switch on the lights.

"You want to eat? I'll cook" I said and head to his kitchen. Humiga naman siya sa sofa.

"No, huwag na. I'm not hungry. I just want to sleep" He said lazily.

"Hindi kana magpapalit ng damit?" I asked. Lumapit ako sa kanya at umupo sa gilid ng sofa.

"Later, I'm still dizzy. Just prepare the bed and go to sleep. Susunod ako mamaya" He said. I sighed.

"Okay, i'll just fix the bed. Ano bang nangyari sayo? Ba't kaba nalasing? Naku ha, baka may problema ka at hindi mo sinasabi sa amin ni Rhys"

"I'm fine, Avery. Don't worry"

I went to his bedroom and fix the bed. Eren's room is so clean just like Rhys' but there's something in his room that feels like home, siguro ay nasanay na ako kasi palagi akong nandito.

I went out and saw Eren drinking water. He's slightly rubbing his head. He turned around at tinignan niya ako.

"Why are you still in that clothes? hindi ka dito matutulog?" Kunot noo niyang tanong.

"I'll change later. The bed is ready. Pwedi kana matulog. I'll just call mama baka mag-alala yon."

He nodded. And went inside his room.

After the call. I went inside his room and he's still in the bathroom. I went to the drawers and pull out my clothes. I have clothes dito since palagi nga akong nandito. Eren doesn't mind naman so I think it's okay. I sat in the bed and waited for him to go out so that I can use the bathroom.

When he went out, I hurriedly went inside para matapos na ako.

After I change my clothes, I went outside to see Eren already lying in bed. He's not yet sleeping, he's on his phone. When he noticed me, he turned it off at tinignan ako.

I went closer at tumabi sa kanya. I'm not yet sleepy but I know he is.

"Thank you, Avery." He smiled. I smiled too kahit wala naman talaga akong ginawa for him to thank me.

"It's fine. Feeling ko kasi ako yung matanda sa inyo ni Rhys. I always ended up taking care of you two" I chuckled. He smiled.

"I'll sleep first. Masakit ulo ko" He said and went to sleep na while i'm still on my phone browsing the net.

I saw Rhys' post. A picture of us three earlier. I smiled. These boys will always be my happiness.

The three of us are friends since we were still kids. They are both older than me but still the friendship worked out.

I texted Rhys goodnight and told him that we're okay.

Rhys: Goodnight too, is he asleep na?

Yes, he is.

Rhys: Good to know. Matulog ka na din. I'll see you both tomorrow. Have a good sleep, Avery.

You too. Bye ❤️

I turned off my phone. Humiga na ako and sumiksik kay Eren. He turned around and hugged me and I close my eyes.

"Goodnight, Eren"
