The Beauty In Chaos

Tox Tadeo.

"Who's ready to party?"

Toshiro Tadeo, known as Tox, is an all-round freelance DJ you could see in every club and disco around Makati. Tox exclaimed as he stood on a stage with a DJ table setup, amplifying his voice to be heard throughout the room, and finally made his introduction to the crowds.

"This is DJ Tox, and I am here to make you experience the most blasting music! Everybody, put your hands in the air! Everybody chileo!"

Screams reverberated throughout the room, spoiling the excitement over their smiles. Tox reached for the tablet and flicked on the electromagnetic button, tuning the frequency high. The crowds love the bloodstream as they put their hands in the air, jamming with the music as if it took over their system.

Tox loves music, from exploring every beat of everyone's taste in genres to making their heartbeats go faster. He, indeed, is made for music. The neon lights flashed over the crowd's heads as they grooved to the insistent pulse of the bass. He then flicked the frequency high and changed the beats into a bombastic party scream.

From a distance, he instantly noticed his friend walking towards the table. Of course, who would not have seen that beauty? Almost everyone would stop what they were doing just to catch a glimpse of her, and that's not even an exaggeration. Maxea Louisse Solares owns the word magnetic, for she could pull anything. She's that kind of girl, a person who is hard to make yours. Tox called one of his friends to substitute for him as a DJ. With this, he yanked his headphones and excitedly proceeded to see his friend.

"Max!"

He gave her a big wave, but Maxea greeted him with a big, giddy hug. Curious. What made this girl so happy? He had known her for a decade; she was always a composed and confident person. Did her boyfriend propose to her? (Well, that's too bad. That means he'll forever be her best friend.) Tox dismissed that grimacing thought and came up with another. Ah! What if mayroon siyang sakit na she battles silently and is now a survivor? Well, thinking about that is much worse. Then, what made her this happy?

"Let's go outside, my treat this time!" Her eyes smiled, pero sa paningin ni Tox ay para bang biglang tumunaw at bumagal ang takbo ng mundo.

Wow. Look at her—as if space and time merge into the most perfect point possible, and time expands into a speck and bursts at the speed of light. The more he sees her, the more his feelings multiply. "Huy! Okay ka lang? Hello~? Earth to Tox?"

The thing is, he cannot express what he feels for her.

The truth is, he's still afraid she might avoid him once he confesses his feelings.

I guess... it would be better to love her silently.
