Diana Metch's POV
"Oy. Ayos na ba mga gamit mo?" Kuya Josh asked me.
"Oo. Kagabi pa."
I answered."Yung kasama mo sa flight, nasa baba na." he said then he left me on my room. Hindi ko kasi kasabay yung dalawang kuya ko. Maiiwan sila dito. But susunod naman sila after one year.
I carry my luggage and my backpack and go downstairs.
"Metch. We need to go now. Mahuhuli na tayo sa flight."
Jedrix said as he get my luggage and my other bag."Mag iingat ka dun."
"Oo nga. Take care."
Lumapit ako sa dalawang ugok at niyakap sila.
"Opo mga kuya. Basta sunod kayo ah?"
Kuya Rayben smiled and ruffled my hair.
"Nako. Mamimiss niya agad tayo. Oo. Susunod kami.""Late na kayo! Layas na!"
Natawa nalang ako sa inasta ni Kuya Josh at lumabas na.Mamimiss ko yung dalawang yun.

Habang nasa kotse kami, I recieved a text from Kyrie.From:Kyrie
Wag ka tumuloy please. Brent is in danger now. Sumakit ng sobra yung ulo niya kahapon. Nasa ospital siya ngayon. Please Metch, he needs you right now.Halos mabitawan ko tong phone ko dahil sa nabasa ko. Bakit? Bakit nangyari? Anong sakit niya?
"Metch. Are you okay?" Napatingin naman ako kay Jedrix na mukhang nag aalala.
I nodded. "Yes.". I just stared at the window tsaka pinagmasdan yung mga nadadaanan namin.
Should I really not go? Pero andun naman si Chelsea to take care of him. So why bother? Tsaka we need this both. Kailangan naming lumayo sa isa't isa.
"Ah Metch. I recieved a message from-" I cuts him off, "Tutuloy ako."
Pansin ko naman ang pagkunot ng noo niya. "Ano bang sinasabi mo?" he asked habang medyo natatawa pa.
"You said you recieved a message,right?" Tumango naman siya. "Galing kay Kyrie diba?"
Natahimik naman siya at biglang natawa. "No. Galing kay Ate Hannah. Sasama daw siya sa pag uwi nila kuya mo next year."
Ohh. Ano ka ngayon Metch? Pahiya -.-
"Bakit, anong text ba ang ineexpect mo?" uh-oh. Eto na.
Mabilis akong umiling at ngumiti, "Nothing. Malayo pa ba?" pag iiba ko ng topic. "Yeah. Medyo. Traffic e. Wanna sleep?" I just nodded kasi inaantok naman talaga ako. He tapped his shoulders, telling me na sumandal ako dun.I slowly leaned on his shoulders and closed my eyes. I hope Brent will gonna be okay.
Kahit na hindi niya na ako kasama.

I felt someone poking my cheek.
"Ano baaa?!" tch. Ang sarap ng tulog ko dito eh! Istorbo!"Wake up Metch. Or else bubuhatin kita hanggang eroplano." Bigla akong napabangon nang marinig ko yung boses ni Jedrix. Oh gosh, nasa sasakyan nga pala kami!
"Let's go. Malalate tayo. Mamaya ka na matulog sa byahe." I just smiled as I step out from their van.
Pagkapasok namin, may ilang checking ng luggage ang naganap. After that, dumiretso na kami sa waiting area.
"Are you happy?" I was caught off by his question. Am I?
Actually, I don't know. Alam kong dapat masaya ako kasi maganda ang magiging life namin doon. And I can see One Direction as often. Pero, yung mga maiiwan ko dito. They're part of my life. My daily life. Araw araw na silang parte ng buhay ko. Sila Kyrie, Madz, Grace. Pati yung iba.
"I don't know."mahina kong sagot sakanya.
"Metch. I feel you. We're in the same situation in behalf of our friends. Halos buong childhood at teenage life ko, kasama ko na sila. It's so hard to leave them. Pero aalis ako because of you. Also, because of my parents." Napatingin ako sakanya. Parents?
"Same as you, my parents has also a business there."
Haist. Business, business. Ugh.
"You know what. Tayo nalang ang magkakilala dun. Tayo din lang ang magdadamayan, magkakasama. Kaya it's better kung iwanan nalang natin lahat dito sa Pilipinas yung sakit at galit. Then we'll start a new in London."
Iwan lahat ng sakit at galit.
Start a new in London.
I think, kailangan nga. Besides, ayoko ding ma stuck sa galit at sakit na nararamdaman ko. Naranasan ko na yun. Sobrang hirap kaya ayoko nang maulit pa.
"I think, you're somewhat right Jedrix. Thank you."
He was about to speak when our flight was called."All the passengers going to London. Please proceed to the area now. Thank you."
We get our luggage and proceed to the area. This is it. I'll leave here my pains and anger. Goodbye Philippines.
Goodbye Brent.
Brent Charles' POV
"Ano, nagreply na ba?"
"Hindi pa!"
I just stared at Kyrie and Drake who is infront of me. It's been 1 hour since Kyrie texted Diana pero wala pa ring reply.
"Brent. Mukhang nakaalis na."
Drake said to me.Alam ko naman eh. Na hindi siya pupunta dito. Sino nga ba ako, diba? I'm here at the hospital right now. Sumakit yung ulo ko kahapon. Epekto daw ng aksidente ko noon. Pero sabi ng doctor, baka late reaction lang daw tong pagsakit. Dapat daw, sumakit yung ulo ko nung araw na nakaalala ako.
"Ayos lang." sabi ko nalang sakanila. "Simula ngayon. I'll never think of her. I'll focus on Chelsea and her child. Ituturing kong anak yung anak nila ni Jedrix."
"Brent."
"Ayos lang Kyrie. Sige na, pumasok na kayo. 7 na oh."
Kyrie looked at her watch and sighed."Sige. Aalis na kami ha? Papunta na si Chelsea dito."
"Pagaling pre."
They said as they walk out in my room. I grab my phone and stare at my wallpaper. This is me and Diana on our first date nung nakita na nila ako. Sht. I miss her so bad. Kung pwede lang na sundan ko siya sa London, ginawa ko na. I hope that Jedrix will take care of her gaya ng pag aalaga ko sakanya noon. As much as gusto kong siya ang kasama ko, hindi pwede. Siguro nga, we're not meant for each other. Maybe, ipinadala lang kami sa buhay ng isa't isa so that we can make each other's life happy.
"Brent."
I look at the door. And there, I saw Chelsea carrying a basket of fruits."Kamusta na?" then she smiled.
But instead of answering her question, I held her hand and say her these words. Eto lang ang alam kong paraan para mapabuti kaming lahat."Chelsea, be my girlfriend."
