Battle of the Bands 2016.
"You guys ready?" The man in the black tshirt asked.
"I guess so," Marco said. The lead guitarist of the band.
Four girls in pink punk dresses entered the backstage.
"Okay, you guys are next!"
"Let's give it a shot, mga pre." She said, sounding so boyish. "Sige, bro" I said, she giggled and we took our spot.
Marco and Ash both looked at me as I held my drumsticks. Tumango ako and they started strumming.
"I was only nineteen you were twenty nine,"
She started singing and I continued to beat the drums.
"It's just ten years but it's such a long time in a heartbeat..."
The crowd fell silent as her voice filled the place.
"I would do it all again"
I looked at her.. Her back facing me. I can sense no nervousness as she sing.
"Late night sex, smokin' cigarettes
I try real hard but I can't forget..
Now in a heart beat
I would do it all again"
All eyes on her including mine. Her voice... I want to hear it all day long.
"Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere..."
"Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I was about to take my eyes off her but she looked back- looking at me as I hit the drums. I held the drumsticks tight and stared at her too.
She gripped the microphone and smiled at me.
"I've got nothing left to lose."
