like a bastard on the burning sea part 2

part 2 since you guys liked the first one haha and once again this is based on the larry fic of the same name so don't be shocked if the events are similar.

if you think this is a bit dark dont blame me bc it's like this in the original, i made it less depressing here pa nga HAHA

(i think depressed den looks like the pic i attached sa taas so yeah, visualize her like that)

Before long it's morning again, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and all dennise wants to do kill something. Literally just kill any living organism she could come in contact with.

unfortunately the only living thing in sight was ella and she was the only thing den wanted to keep alive.

"tell me hindi to totoo."

Ella looks at her bestfriend sadly. She'd been here for an hour, listening to dennise's rants about how the world hated her. just 10 minutes ago, her bestfriend had thrown up the tea she had made her for no reason.

"I can't."

Dennise growls before throwing the teacup ella had served her against the wall. The shorter one closes her eyes for a second just as the small glass cup comes in contact with the wall, shattering it into pieces immediatly. She's suddenly glad she wasn't that cup.

"Den-"

"No. Save it, I don't want speeches about how this is all gonna get better, because tangina ella it hurts so bad." Den catches her breath before continuing, "It makes me so, so angry. Just now i wanted to go outside and stangle the birds with my bare hands. Why did i think that?"

Ella was usually good when it came to the advice and motivational talks department, but in this situation she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

"Alak nalang?" She says unsurely. "that always makes us feel better."

Dennise thinks about it for a while before nodding her head, which makes ella sigh in relief since this is the first time today den had agreed with her on something.

"Booze, tama ka. Red horse, tanduay, antonov, kahit ano!"

Ella shuffles uncomfortably against the couch, immediatly regretting her choice of words.

"Here's what we're gonna do. punta ka sa 7/11 tapos bili ka ng marami, while i cry in the bathroom and try not to kill myself, then pagdating mo dito I can cry and drink at the same time, and if I die it won't be my fault because they'll blame it on the alchohol. Sounds like a plan diba?"

Ella knows she wasn't serious but it stil made her worry about leaving dennise alone in her apartment, considering the fact that she knew she had a lot of razors in the bathroom.

"yun lang ba?"

"No! okay you see those pieces of basura on the table?" She points to a pile of documents on the nearby dresser. Ella knows what it is before she can get closer to it, it was the same pile of papers den had showed her a week ago. "burn them. Burn them all, or pwede rin call amy and bea or kayo lahat ng ateneo and pee on the damn thing, wala na akong pakialam. just get it out of my sight, i think masusuka ko nanaman ang naiwang tea na ginawa mo if i see it again."

"okay." ella says.

"okay?" den wonders why she didn't complain about the killing herself part, it sounded crazy even to herself.

"okay as in okay, I'll buy the beer and you just stay here and try not to do something dumb like killing yourself. I'll be back in 10 minutes."
