"Why are you guys badgering Bubbles?"

I found a video that instead of 'Bubbles', they changed it to 'Stacey' while my videos from some gigs and vlogs are flashing in.

"Because! She's just being sad for attention or something!" A voice of girl in the video said.

"That's not true. Bubbles doesn't have to be happy all the times." They put my name on the context instead of Bubbles.

"Are you okay, sweetie?" The voice asked. "It's perfectly okay to be sad sometimes."

My chest heaved as my eyes filled with tears. After watching that short video, I suddenly wanted to cry. Hindi ako umiiyak dahil akala ko, mababaw lang. Puwede pang itawa.

But all the accusations punched me so hard. That was... too harsh for me to take it all in. I am just a seventeen year-old dreamer, a singer wanna be and sunshine Stacey.

How can they accused me for something that as big as that? I did not ruin someone's relationship. I am not a third party. I am not flirty just like some people they compared me.

I breathed. "It's okay not to be okay sometimes." Then a tear escaped.

I picked up my hoodie and immediately leave my room. Nagpaalam ako kay mommy na nasa living room lang at nagpapahinga. Nag-aalala ito pero hinayaan niya rin naman ako.

"It's just here..." I mumbled.

Inilibot ko ang paningin sa paligid. I was searching for the gorge nearby. Far from the city, far from the accusations, far from those people who judge me so easily.

"Say?"

A familiar voice enveloped my eyes. Kahit iilang beses ko lang narinig ay rumehistro na sa utak ko ang boses niya.

Bigla na lang nanubig ang nga mata ko. Isinantabi ko ang paghahanap sa bangin, sa halip ay boses ng lalaki ang hinanap ko sa paligid.

"It's your birthday... why are you here?"
