Still Not Over You

53

IN A BAR IN BGC

Although a bit tipsy, Tylli rushed out of the comfort room when she read Joshua's message. She saw him nearing their table.

Tylli
Josh!

Joshua!

She tried to pass through the huge crowd and also shouted for his name, but it seems like he did not hear her.

Joshua
What the hell are you doing?!

Thorn
Woah!

Joshua pulled Thorn by the neckline of his shirt; a glare was visible on his flushed face.

Tylli
Joshua!

What the fuck?!

Tylli pushed Joshua away from Thorn. She's prone to situations like this that require patience and understanding, but she could not handle the fiery anger this time.

Thorn
Ty, bigla bigla na lang siya sumugod dito!

I did not do anything!

Joshua
Not doing anything?

You're cheating behind her back! I saw it with my own two eyes!

Tylli
I told you to mind your own business, Joshua!

Ano bang pakialam mo, ha?!

Joshua
I told you that I'll do something if you're just going to turn a blind eye on this.

This guy is cheating on you!

Do you think I would just sit there and watch?!

Tylli
So?!

This is my problem. I did not ask for your help. I did not ask for you to interfere!

Thorn laughed. It seems like he understood the situation.

Thorn
Bro, our business is not your business.

As far as I know, you're just her ex? So what is this about?

Tylli
Thorn.. please.

Joshua moved close to Thorn—towering over him. A few people are already looking at them. So, Tylli pulled Joshua's arm and stood in between the two.

Joshua
I'm not here as her ex-boyfriend; I am here as her friend.

I am here to protect her from an asshole like you.

Thorn
Wow! The audacity?!

Tylli, pigilan mo ako, masusuntok ko talaga 'to!

Tylli
Joshua, ano ba?!

Thorn, I am really sorry this ruined your night-

Joshua
Why are you saying sorry, Gabrielle?

Tylli
Can you please just shut up?!
