Take A Chance With Me (Bada Lee x Audrey Lane x Chocol)

[FIVE]

Bada's Pov

The battle continue and we earned 5 stickers. We're doing good and isang battle lang yung napatalo namin which is yung battle ko against Audrey. May last battle pa bago kami magbreak uli kaya talagang haggard na kaming lahat.

Daniel picked up the names randomly and called them out for the last battle.

“Chocol from Wolf'Lo.” He paused.

Nagtilian naman yung ibang crew kasi malakas naman talaga yung appeal ni Chocol at kahit sino titili talaga kapag nakita siya. She's a good battler too, I mean lahat silang members. Never pa silang natalo at lahat ng battle naipanalo nila.

“Vs. Audrey Lane from Jam Republic.” Daniel announced at mas lalong lumakas yung hiyawan. She walked up while smiling at Chocol habang si Chocol naman, nakipagshake hands sakanya.

Ibang iba yung aura niya ngayon kaysa kanina. Halos hindi ko marinig yung sinabi nila sa isa't isa dahil sobrang ingay talaga. The music started at si Chocol yung unang sasayaw.

“Bakit may pagngiti?” rinig kong sabi nila at nagkumpulan sa gilid para mapanood sila. I stayed where I was and observed them. They were right, they were smiling at each other.

Mas lumakas yung tilian nang bigla hinawakan ni Chocol yung kamay ni Audrey while swaying her body smoothly. I couldn't focus sa battle nila kaya minabuti kong lumayo kaunti sa ingay.

“3, 2, 1!!!” the music changed and it's Audrey's turn. Bumalik si Chocol sa pwesto niya at binigyan ng space si Audrey to dance.

It seems like they aren't battling, it's more likely they are flirting with each other. She dance seductively but still manage to insert her new moves. Para nga silang duo at hindi magkalaban because they look good together and kaya siguro maganda rin outcome ng performance nila.

In the end, Chocol won and I didn't expect that she would be that happy to the point na tumakbo pa siya just to give her a hug. So, may something talaga sakanila?

“You did good!!” compliment ni Chocol sakanya at nakayakap pa rin.

“We did good.” Audrey complimented her back.

“Sabi sainyo may something silang dalawa eh.” Minah said as she threw herself into the sofa. We went back to our hideout and rest a bit before our last shoot for today.

“Malakas naman spark—” Kyma didn't manage to complete her sentence when Sowoen cut her off.

“Kailan pa sila naging kuryente para magkaspark?” She said.

“Aminin man natin o hindi, Audrey improved a lot and she's doing good in her own.” Lusher butted in.

“So meaning to say, okay lang na iniwanan niya tayo? After all the things we've been through as a group, parang wala lang sakanya lahat?” Sowoen said.

If you'd ask me, si Sowoen talaga yung pinaka affected because she really looked up to Audrey and they were so close to each other. When Sowoen found out her departure, we had a very hard time to deal with Sowoen as she always locked herself up and distanced herself to us. Mabuti na lang talaga she got better at bumalik yung dating sigla niya.

“Chill.” Tatter said, tapping her back.

“She had her reason. Masakit man pero wala naman tayong magagawa. Siguro let's be happy na lang to her success and who knows, baka ito na yung simula nang lahat.” Cheche said.

“Simula nang alin?” I finally spoke up dahilan to have their attention.

“Magkaayos kayo.”

“Do you guys really think na madali lang gawin yun? Nakalimutan niyo ba lahat nang pinagdaan natin simula nung umalis siya? Hirap na hirap tayong ibangon yung grupo natin kasi umalis siya. Kaliwa't kanan na endorsements and projects yung nawala because of her.” I began.

I'm just telling the truth. Most of our endorsements and projects were because of her. Nagsisimula nang maging matunog yung grupo namin because of her viral dance choreography at dun naglabasan yung endorsements and projects sana namin but all of those vanished in a snap when she announced her departure from Team Bebe.

Nalugmok yung grupo namin, some of us were depressed kasi lahat nang pagod at effort namin, napunta lang sa wala. She was our last hope pero wala, iniwanan niya kami sa ere without explaining her side.

“If sainyo okay lang, for me hindi. I had to deal with everything. I had to work my ass off under pressure to save us and I did everything para maibangon yung grupo ulit. Kaliwa't kanan na dance classes yung tinaggap ko for us to survive and the nonstop choreographies para sa idols hoping na pumatok sa mga fans nila para mas lalong dumami yung offers saatin.”

I tried to hold back my tears as I reminiscing the past. I've kept this for so long and It's just funny how my members thought It would be so easy to forget and forgive her. I'm not like them because It would take me some time to finally let go of the past.

“Look at us now, we're all thriving and one of well known crew. All of this is because of our hardwork. I don't blame her, okay? I'm only disappointed and I feel betrayed but then hindi ko pa kayang kalimutan ang lahat at patawarin siya. Sana maintindihan niyo yung side ko.” I explained.

Do I really sounds bitter? Masyado lang akong nahurt kasi we built this crew together but she left me hanging.

Time has passed and we were finally done with our 1st shoot. All of us went out to our room and Jam Republic too. Their hideout is in front of our room kaya 'di talaga namin maiiwasan isa't isa.

“Uuwi na kayo?” tanong ni Kirsten sabay tingin sa gawi namin.

“Oo, may dance class pa kasi si Tatter bukas so we have to help her out sa mga ituturo niyang routines.” I responded.

“Oh, good luck then.” She responded at saktong lumabas naman si Audrey sa room nila. She stared at me but she's obviously avoiding my stares as she quickly looked away.

Maya maya nagsilabasan na yung ibang crews at nilapitan kami. My eyes automatically went to Chocol na agad nilapitan si Audrey. Wow, bakod na bakod.

“Hindi kayo sasama?” tanong ni Mina saamin.

“Saan?”

“Magcecelebrate tayo. Let's just say this is our first dinner party since all of us did well during the shoot.” She replied.

“Pass muna kami. May trabaho tomorrow eh.” I declined.

“Okay then see you next shoot.”

Sabay sabay silang nagsi-alisan habang kami, nahuling lumabas since hindi rin naman kami sasama sa dinner party. Wala rin ako sa mood at mas pipiliin kong magbabad sa trabaho.

“Tara na?” I asked them.

“Tara na.”
