"What?" iritableng tanong ko kay Cole habang naglalakad kami palapit kung nasaan ang table nila Elyze.

"Why so grumpy?" he asked chukling.

Hindi ko nalang ito pinansin at nag focus nalang sa paglalakad, naiinis ako dahil sa nararamdaman kong ito. I don't want this, I shouldn't care anymore but why am I feeling this again?

Nang makarating kami sa table ay natigilan ang lahat, I smiled at Elyze and Max as they praise my performance.

"I didn't expect that you know how to play like that, Ate" Max said, amazement is evident on his eyes.

I just shrugged my shoulders as I seat comfortably besides him, Cole in the other hand followed me but he didn't seat. My brother's stare landed on him while raising his brows like he's trying to ask who is this guy. So Cole being a polite one, he's standing infront of us while extending his hand on my brother.

"Hey dude, I'm Colleian"

He introduced himself smiling ear to ear that shows his handsomeness, he looks like those hollywood actors.

"Nice meeting you, are you my sister's boyfriend?" from Cole my gazed turn on my brother.

Is he serious about that? I can't see it even we've been together for a years now, I only see Cole as my big brother because of our age different. He's 3 years older than me. Well Cole is a gentleman you'll even meet, but I can't see myself with anyone right now.

"Even I want to, your sister is very self centered" he said that made my eyes widen in shock.

"Hey did you just insult me right infront of me, seriously?"

"That's not what I meant babe" natatawang paliwanag pa nito kaya inirapan ko lang.

Napaayos naman ako ng upo nang mapansing nakalipat na pala sila Wanda dito sa table namin, she's smirking at me when our eyes met. Gusto kong umirap dahil kahit ang katabi nitong si Helena ay ganoon rin ang reaksiyon, may nilingon pa ito sa tabi niya kaya hindi ko maiwasang sundan iyon.

She's staring at Solanna who's now seriously staring at her drink, I'm guessing what is she thinking right now because how she look is like she's lost on her deep thoughts. But I immediately avert my gaze when the familiar pain visit my chest when memories of yesterday flased through my mind.

I took a deep sighed as I calmed my self, I drink my 10th shot. Ramdam ko na ang tama nito saaking sistema, when I heared the familiar beat of the song of Ariana Grande, I can see the people dancing widly on the center that awake something inside me. Oh god, how I miss partying. I think I need this one tonight.

"I was a liar, I gave in to the fire
I know I should've fought it, at least I'm bein' honest
Feel like a failure 'cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better 'cause you don't want a liar"

Mabilis akong tumayo at maglalakad na sana papuntang dance floor nang maramdaman kong may humawak sa braso ko upang pigilan ako, nilingon ko iyon at nakitang si Cole ito't seryoso na ang kaniyang mukha.

"Don't, I don't wanna punch an asshole face again Zari" I just rolled my eyes and get my arm on him.

"Chill, I can handle I'm not drunk... Or do you wanna join me?"

I don't know if this is the effect of alcohol, but I can't help my flirty tone on my voice while walking slowly towards him. He's just staring at me deeply, I shook my head and turn my back at him while walking gloriously to the center of dance floor.

"And I know, and I know, and I know she gives you everything
But, boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know that you got everything
But I got nothin' here without you"
