IT'S OVER.
But it's not over yet.
I was found not guilty when the footage came out revealing that the real murderer in this case was Hayden. I was immediately sent out of jail, and I was surprised when my friends were waiting for me back as I told them that if they wanted to see me back, they could see me back at home.
I wasn't expecting to see them there as I thought they were distancing themselves from and ignoring me because of what I have associated myself with.
They were brutally honest with me that they almost wanted to cut me out of their lives, and I deserved it—only if the murder accusation was true. But then they believed that I didn't do anything—other than hooking up with Zeke and Hayden.
"Iyon talaga ang pinaniwalaan niyo, a?" tanong ko pa.
"Nagtaka ka pa ba?" Tawa pa ni Patty. "All of people, hindi mo naman maitatago sa amin 'yon. Tanggi ka pa nang tanggi no'n, pero halata ka naman. Kapag tinatanong ka namin tapos tumatanggi ka, girl, halatang-halata ka."
"Saka if I didn't know their background na gay pala si Hayden, I think would hook up with him."
"Ay, nagsalita 'yong walang ka-hook up," komento ni Patty kay Bailey. "Hindi mo nga matuloyt-tuloy 'yong pakikipag hookup kuno mo sa lalaking na-meet mo sa club no'n! I think nakahanap na 'yon ng pamalit sa 'yo. Ang bagal mo kasi."
"Hoy, hindi, a! Hindi siya gano'n. Nag-uusap at nagkikita pa rin naman kaming dalawa at magugulat ka na ako lang ang ine-entertain niya."
"E 'di, good for you?" ani Bailey. "Well, good for you naman talaga kung nag-stay as loyal 'yang lalaking na-meet. I hope siya na, girl. Kating-kati na kami for you, sana ito na."
"Sana rin!" ani Bailey at nag-cross fingers pa ito. "Ikaw ba, Mitch? May balak ka ba?"
"Na ano makipag-hook up?" tanong ko pa at saka siya tumango para kompirmahin iyon sa akin. Napakibit balikat naman ako. "Hindi ko alam, actually. . . Wala pa siya sa isip ko ngayon. I've been through so much stress lately at mukhang hindi ko pa kayang pumasok sa mga ganyan. But if there was an opportunity, bakit ko papalagpasin?"
Natawa naman silang dalawa sa akin.
"Ayun, nahuli rin. Bibigay at bibigay ka rin pala," sabi pa ni Patty. "Pero alam mo, awang-awa ako kay Renee. I've only got to talk to her once and I thought she was so nice and she was so sweet. She doesn't deserve that. It was such a tragic thing to happen. . Nakakaawa. . ." anito at napabitaw nang malalim ba buntonghininga.
"Pero mabuti na lang at hindi ikaw ang pinatay," sabi naman ni Bailey. "Good thing sex lang din ang habol sa 'yo at hindi ka pinatay. If they had done it to you, hindi namin alam kung anong mararamdaman namin. . ."
Inabot ko naman ang mga kamay nila. Pinigilan ko namang tumulo ang mga luha ko, pero kusa na lang din silang tumulo nang mapuno ng emosyon ang dibdib ko.
