Bite The Bullet | Vicerylle

Special Chapter 2: Last Year

One month later...

"Vice is a jerk, I know. Naiintindihan ko ang pinagdadaanan mo, I was with him too, remember? It's our time to bitch about him now. Jokes. Call me back!!!"

"So I just watched Toni and Vice's Tell All, I know Toni WAS our friend, but he made the wrong choice. It should have been you - BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW BECAUSE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU WILL FIND SOMEONE WHO DESERVES YOU. Call me maybe? Miss you!"

"K, it's been a month since I last heard from you - I know you're hurting, but please, let me help you. Talk to me about anything."

"ANA KARYLLE TATLONGHARI, I promised you na I'd be there for you even after the show - let me be there for you, kahit nasaan ka man. Talk to me, I'm worried about you. Miss you girl."

"Hey K, it's Anne... Yeah, me again, for the 25th time. I just stopped over at your parents' house, they said na you moved back to your place... Are you okay? Call me when you get this. Please?"

"Got your address from your sister, I'm coming over whether you like it or not. You better let me in, I've brought the most expensive bottle of wine I could find. See you soon, finally!"

Karylle peaked her head out of her comforter when she heard the doorbell ring repeatedly, kasabay rin ng pagriring ng phone nya. Inignore nya ulit ang mga ito at sinubukan bumalik sa pagtulog kahit na middle of the afternoon na.

After ng ten minutes at di pa rin tumitigil ang pagring ng doorbell at ng phone nya, tumayo na si Karylle from her bed at nagtungo palabas ng kwarto nya para sagutin yung tao sa labas ng condo nya. She peaked through the peephole and she guessed right, it was Anne.

She combed her hair with her hands at inayos yung suot nyang dress shirt bago buksan yung pinto.

"You're alive!!!" sabi ni Anne na binitiw yung mga dala nyang bags sa floor para yakapin si Karylle.

"Hey Anne, what's up?" casual na tanong ni Karylle bago nag pull away from Anne's hug.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY 'WHAT'S UP?'. GIRL YOU'VE BEEN M.I.A FOR WEEKS!"

"Oops..." sabi ulit ni Karylle bago nag walk away from Anne, "Kamusta ka na?" she asked Anne sabay upo sa may sofa.

"Who cares about me? IKAW! Ikaw ang mas importante, how are you? Why have you been ignoring us?"

"Anne, I just needed some alone time. I'm fine."

"Oh please..." Anne said at nilapitan si Karylle, she touched her hair and looked at her from head to toe, "Look at you... You're a mess, no offence ha."

"Gee thanks." Sabi ni Karylle at inamoy ang sarili.

"I know you're still getting over what happened with the show, pero-"

"I don't want to talk about it Anne." Sabi ni Karylle with a fake smile at kinuha kay Anne yung dala nitong mga brown bags na naglalaman ng mga pagkain.

"I've brought break-up essentials." Sabi ni Anne while Karylle browsed through the bags.

"2 bottles of wine, 1 vodka, 1 whiskey and a tub of ben and jerry's ice cream..." sabi ni Karylle habang nilalabas isa-isa yung mga pinamili ni Anne.

"The ice cream is mine, the rest is all yours." Sabi ni Anne at nag shrug, giving Karylle a smirk.

"Thank you." Sincere na sabi ni Karylle. Alam naman ni Karylle na nag bibiro lang si Anne, pero she appreciated the effort so much at na-touch talaga sya sa ginawa ng kaibigan. Di naman sya manhid para ignorin yung nangyayari, alam naman nyang matagal na syang sinusubukang contactin ng kaibigan, pero since gusto nyang mapagisa, dinedma nya muna mga tawag nito.
