"Nasan ka?" Si Will tong nasa kabilang linya.
"Sa Oz. Nagpapractice."
May drifting tournament kasi next month.
"Hintayin mo ko dyan." -Will
Ok? Ano kayang problema nun. Anyway, makapagpractice na nga lang.
Nakaka-ikatlong ikot nako nung makita ko yung car ni Will so I went near where he's standing.
Tinanggal ko yung helmet ko and inilugay yung buhok ko tsaka lumapit sa kanya. "What brought you here?"
Hindi sya nagsalit. He gave me his phone instead.
"Ano'ng gagawin ko dito?" Nagtataka man, I looked at the screen. It's a photo album in a social media with a caption: MY FOREVER LOVE.
I scrolled down and looked at all the photos in there. Inulit ulit ko yun. I checked the date, the place... I checked my hands that are now holding Will's phone and they're trembling.
Shots of two people posing in a fountain, in a restaurant, in a staircase, inside the car. Photos of Dave and a girl hugging each other, kissing. Cuddles. Yung mga sumunod na nakita ko parang bumaligtad ang sikmura mo. Photos of them together in a bed. Their messy hair. Their bodies na blanket lang nakatakip.
What's more shocking about this? The photos are all selfies! What a documentation, pervs! Di ako alam san ko hinugot yung courage ko to take a screenshot of the album and download all the photos. Shit.
It's been two weeks lang since our Paris trip. I recalled the events happened before that trip. It dawned on me that I need to look back at the time that he was not around and was not able to contact me. I checked the date on their pictures. I checked out what he was wearing. P*tang*na. That confirmed it all.
"Thanks for this. Let me have this for a while." I put his phone in my pocket and hurriedly went to my car. Pinaharurot ko yung sasakyan ko. I need to see Dave. Nag-uunahan man sa pagbagsak ang mga luha ko at parang dinudurog ang puso ko, I need to face him.
Nagkamali ako ng kalkula sa speed ko. Huli na nung nakatapak ako sa break. The next thing I know, I'm hearing a screeching sound and then there was--- darkness.

/Pagmulat ko ng mata ko, nakita ko agad sila Dad, sila Brix... Thea is holding my hand and she's crying so hard.
"Jade. Oh my God, gising ka na. Brix, please call the doctor." "Bae, I'm so glad gising ka na..." Iyak sya ng iyak.
"Bae, I'm still alive. Stop crying na ok?" Tumango sya.
Lumapit saken si Dad. Namumugto yung mga mata nya. "Anak..." He is really crying. "Why didn't you tell us?" His is a face of defeat. Magsasalita palang sana ako when the doctor arrivese.
He checked my vitals and kung anu ano pa yung ginawa nya and then spoke, "Ok na ang vital signs mo, Miss Howell but I'm so sorry that your baby didn't make it."
Tiningnan ko lahat ng nandito.
I HAD a baby?
Buntis ako?"I lost my baby?" They all nodded... and that shocked the all of me.
