Austin

"Actors Wallace Diaz and Austin Connors had been caught in a bar fight last night. And according to a witness Model/Actress Kisha Gonzalez came a minute later. At dugtong pa nila na naging third party daw si Kisha at Austin kaya nag away ang dalawa, it was known that Wallace and Austin were in the same boy group called S7ven back in 2015, and in 2018 the group disbanded. And it was known din na si Wallace and Kisha were in an on-and-off relationship. And that made the netizens think, did the group disband because of-"

I turned off the t.v it was all useless news anyway. First of all I was with her before he came and took her away, ako dapat ang nagagalit dahil dalawa silang niloko ako. And I'm just so stupid to believe that she came back to love me, hindi para maging rebound sa tuwing mag aaway sila. I just had enough of it. 

All of it.

I brushed my hair up at tumayo sa pagkakahiga, I've been drinking all night and my head hurts like hell. It's not a good coping mechanism but I just want my heartbreak to drown in alcohol and just forget all of it even for just a moment. Just when was I even this stupid? I mean, they were the ones who got ahead of themselves behind my back, then they got into an official relationship and here I am waiting for them to break up so I could have her back to me again pero sa kanya parin siya pumupunta.

And I accepted that.

I poured myself a glass of water and drank all of it before returning to the living room and there I sat and just stared at my white wall.

I have nothing on my brain. Maraming scripts ang pinapadala sa akin but I haven't touched even one sa kanila. And I haven't even written any song for these past two years.

My phone rang and saw it was my manager calling, I didn't pick up because I know she'll keep pushing me na pumunta sa isang university para mag discuss or something saying "If you do this kind of thing, it can help ease the scandal and people will just forget about it" that kind of bullshit.

My phone rang again and saw James's number, the person with who I'm really close within this line of work. We were teammates din before and he was the only one who stayed by my side while everyone just turned their backs on me. I didn't pick up the call, threw my phone away somewhere on the floor, bang my head on the headrest, and closed my eyes. I just want it to be quiet and calm.

"Bro, ano alis ba tayo o hindi?"

I stood up in surprise at muntik na akong makasapak nang tao to only turn and saw James. I sighed and glared at him. Hard.

"Wtf?! You surprised me, asshole. Akyat-bahay na ba ang bago mong hobby? You could've just knocked." I shouted but he just shrugged.

"Bro, bakit pa ako kakatok kung alam ko na din na man ang door code mo and it's not long na may ibang taong makakapasok dito, knowing that your password is your birthday. Anyways, what are you even doing? Let's be productive okay? At isa pa, anong klaseng t.v meron ka at puro shopping channels ang nandito maliban sa nag iisang news channel?" saad niya while keeping on changing channels but not long after that that he left and walked towards the kitchen.

I sat back down and laid on the couch with my face facing the ceiling, I just really want to stay at home today. But this uninvited guest came. As I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, I wrinkled my nose hearing the munching noise of someone eating chips and as I opened them, there he was exactly facing me and his chip bits falling into my face.

"What do you want?" I asked annoyed standing up and wiping my face.

"Let's go shopping or something, let's be productive today."
