"And what about Alex? Hindi ka ba napapagod sa kaniya? You're like literally her babysitter at this point!" My girlfriend shouted. Me? A babysitter?
"She's so demanding and lazy! Can't you see? She's draining you!" She continued which made me angrier!
"Oo na! Pagod na ako okay? I'm tired with all her shenanigans! I'm tired of the fact that I need to repeat something to her just so she can understand it! I hated how I need to remind her on everything she needed to do! Pagod na'ko sa kaniya! Ano masaya ka na ba?" I said what she wanted me to say out of spite.
"Iyon ang gusto mong sabihin ko hindi ba? Well jokes on you kasi pagdating sa kaniya, ni minsan never akong napagod! And you know who's tiring? Ikaw!" I blurted, angrily. Kanina pa niya sinisiraan at sinasabihan ng kung ano-ano ang best friend kong wala namang ginagawa sa kaniya na masama.
"Y-you like her don't you?" Nanginginig niyang sabi sa akin, tears started to form in her eyes dahilan para matauhan ako.
"My gosh Cassie! Para ko na siyang kapatid!" I said to her with frustration.
"Really? Who are you trying to convince? Is it me or yourself?" She replied. Bigla akong natigilan. What is she trying to say?
"I saw how your eyes lit up even whenever she's our topic! Siya yung lagi mong bukambibig! She's always your first priority even if I'm your girlfriend! Isn't that too disrespectful especially to me!?" She continued her tears started to flow. I tried to wipe it but she pushed my hand away.
"Earlier, I purposely said those things about her just so I can confirm my suspicions and congrats! You just not passed, it looks like you even exceed my expectations!" Cassie said to me sarcastically while wiping her tears.
"You know what? We both don't deserve each other! Break na tayo!" She shouted and walk out which left me dumbfounded. What the fvck just happened?
I couldn't think straight so I called Slade.
"Yow." Sagot niya agad. I heard gunshots on his background.
"Tara inom." Pag-aya ko sa kaniya.
"Mamaya, rg ako." Then he hung-up.
Kung si Alex lang iyan, she would probably freak out and would ask me what happened. I imagined her concerned face looking confused too. My smile quickly faded. What the hell am I thinking? Natauhan ako ng biglang magring ang aking phone, it was slade.
"Bihis na'ko, tara na!" He said, ambilis naman? Pag-inuman talaga eh.
We went to a club with our fake ids. Madali naman naming nauto yung mga bouncer at agad kaming pinapasok.
"So, why are we here?" Slade asked me while we were waiting for our drinks.
"Break na kami ni Cassie." I replied as the bartender gave me my drink.
"Why? Finally realized who you're dumb heart really wants?" He said to me meaningfully while smirking. Pati ba naman siya?
"I don't like Alex that way!" I said to him defensively. His grin widens.
"I didn't say anything but okay." He said to me sarcastically which angers me more. Mas bagay sila ng ex ko, parehas sila tamang hinala!
"Do you really love Cassie?" What kind of question is that?
"Of course! She's my girlfriend" I reasoned out to him. " I mean ex- girlfriend."
"Really? Then there wouldn't be a problem if ever I'll court Alex?" Slade said to me while drinking. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"No! I mean, I know you with your girls. I'm just playing the role of a protective brother here." He just laughed and look at me as if I said something ridiculous.
"You know what? I'm done here. You're completely in denial and as far as I enjoy your misery, I don't think I can handle your ridiculous reasons, so man up and just accept your feelings for her!" He said then went to the dancefloor and dances with God knows who.
I drank and drank until I couldn't think straight anymore. I went to the bathroom and bumped into someone.
"Oops, sorry!" She said to me. She looks like Alex! But there's no way she's here. Am I going crazy?
That's all I remembered from last night. Bumangon akong masakit ang ulo. I called Slade but his phone rung beside me.
"Finally you're awake!" Slade said while cooking eggs.
"What happened last night?" I asked him.
"You don't really wanna know." He said then laughed. My head ache just become worse.
I tried to call Alex but her number isn't ringing. Tulog pa ba 'tong babahinang ito? I opened my messenger but her name is nowhere to be found at ganoon rin sa iba kong social media account. What the hell? Did she blocked me?
I borrowed Slades phone to check pero hindi rin lumalabas ang kaniyang account. Ipinakita ko ito kay Slades. Sa aming dalawa, siya yung techy.
"Well, there's a possibility rin na dinelete niya all her social media accounts." He said to me, malalim din ang iniisip. "Ang tanong, why would she do that?"
"Can I borrow your car?" I said to him quickly while putting my shirt on. He nodded while sipping his coffee. His smirk is noticeable.
