The Sins Of Tomorrow

03

I stared at the messages

Too late na para mag backout

Nakakainis!

I already crammed everything! Inabala ko pa ang friends ko, and I invited a bunch of people!

A notification popped up my screen again.

Jerykmiah28: Happy Birthday

Jerykmiah28: Sa friend mo

I got confused sa chat nya kaya nireplyan ko sya don, ignoring his other messages

@Winnyyx: Who?

@Jerykmiah28: Diko alam haha

@Jerykmiah28: Yung mag paparty

Bro is high or what, ako nga yung mag paparty eh.

Hindi ko na sya nireplyan kaya inoff ko nalang ang phone ko. I grabbed my tiny flask ng liquor na nasa pocket ko saka uminom don

Puro. More alcohol percentage, less alcohol intake ang kailangan ko.. Girl Math!

Nakakabadtrip naman tong si Jeremiah. I totally made an effort only for him to cancel?

"Cant sleep?"

I turned to look at Autumn na nasa pinto pala. Hindi ko na inabalang itago ang iniinom ko, they know naman na

"Mamaya pako, maybe 4" sagot ko tapping the seat beside me. Naupo naman sya

"Winter"

I gave her a 'hm' in response pero hindi ko sya liningon

We were both looking at something from a far, or maybe default lang yon kasi may iniisip??

"Ano thoughts mo sa cheating?" Panimula nya

"What? That its bad?"

Totoo naman. Im glad Ive never truly experienced what a heartbreak feels like..

Naramdaman kong tumingin sya sakin kaya tinignan ko din sya. She looked sad

Is Leyne cheating on her?

"Hindi ako te ha. Alam mo naman na Leyne would never do such thing diba. Pero yung friend ko kasi... Wag nalang nga!"

I sighed, "Okey"

Its probably about her.

If she's not comfortable sharing it with me then okey, Ill respect that. There are somethings i dont share my friends din naman no matter how close we are

Saka nalang kapag ready na sya

"Cheating is not okay. If your friend feels like its cheating, its probably cheating. Any form of reason only benefits the cheater itself"

Nilagay ko ang kamay ko sa braso nya to pat her, "Tell your friend to know her worth"

Then silence.

No one dared to speak

Autumn was probably processing what I said. Wala ako sa lugar para manghimasok sakanila, and I probably  dont know Leyne the way she does, pero i hope she's smart enough to know the right thing

The next morning, I woke up passed 2 pm. I probably just laid on the bed and scrolled my ass off of apps 'til late

Lumabas lang ako nang tawagin ako ni Autumn palabas

I showered and prepared myself para sa party. The food came, tas may mga tao nadin na dumating, mga early birds

I just stayed sa bedroom hanggang sa magsimula yung party, i guess they're having fun naman outside kasi ni isa walang nag bobother sakin sa loob. And it was starting to get noisy outside
