Chapter 5

Bumalikwas ako ng gising nang maramdamang nasusuka ako kaya naman agad akong tumakbo papuntang CR. It felt so horrible while I was puking because my head is also aching due to hangover. After I was done with my business in the bathroom, I went out while massaging my temples. I feel like total shit! It's like I'm having my first ever hangover.

Umupo ako sa kama at tumunganga.

I gasped as I remember what happened last night. I made out with Henry on our couch. I took the freaking initiative and acted like a horndog!

"I know I'm drunk but even if I'm not, I'd still do this." Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko sa kahihiyan. "Shit! I did that?" 'di makapaniwala kong naibulalas.

I checked my phone to ease what I'm feeling. My friends flooded me with text messages.

Kate

Hoy babae wer u @??

Mag-reply ka! Nasaan ka?

Tell me you got home safe and sound.

HOY UMAGA NA MAG-TEXT KA NAMAN I'M FREAKING OUT HERE!

Please. If you're seeing this, text ka agad. I'm really worried.

Rina

Sabi ni Vanz the last time he saw you was when you were at the dance floor. Where r u? :<

Alliiii, I'm so worried. Text me back once you read this, 'kay? :cc

Tori

Bahala ka kung nasaan ka man. Malaki ka na.

Text me once you see this.

Vanz

Hinahanap ka sa'kin nila Kate kanina. Where the fuck are you?

Hey, I'm really worried. Tell me you're home.

Alli, are you home? Please reply.

Goddamn, Alli, you're making me sick worried. Text me back pls.

Napangiti naman ako nang mabasa ko ang text messages ng mga kaibigan ko. Tadtad din ako ng missed calls nila. Sobrang himbing ng tulog ko, hindi ako nagising sa ringtone ko. Anyways, it's nice to have people worrying for you. You feel loved and important.

Sumilip ako sa bintana at nakitang wala na ang sasakyan ni Henry. He's already gone off to work, huh? Well, what can I do? Alas diez na ng umaga, eh. It's the first time na hindi ko siya naipaghanda ng almusal and I feel bad. Hindi man niya kinakain ang mga niluluto ko, still, I'm trying my best. Ngayon ay naputol ang streak ko, natatakot akong baka disappointed siya sa'kin.

Napangisi na naman ako at binaon ang mukha ko sa malalambot na unan nang maalala ko ang nangyari sa'min kagabi ni Henry. He is a good kisser, I am out of words to describe it. Intense yet gentle. Ewan! Hindi ko talaga maipaliwanag.

Bumaba ako sa kusina upang kumain ng almusal. I am starving!

Uminom muna ako ng dalawang baso ng tubig upang ma-rehydrate. One of the major reasons why I'm suffering from this shitty hangover is I didn't drink water before I went to bed. I was too busy to even think about drinking water last night.
