Maddie's POV
"Hey, Maddie. Wake up." A gentle voice and shake woke me from my slumber. Slowly I opened my eyes to be greeted by Cienne who's looking worriedly at me.
"Do you think you can walk?" She asks while unfastening my seat belt.
"Hmm." I answered trying to sit properly.
I heard the door clicked open, Cienne was quick to go to my side and helped me get up. I think her driver also helped on getting me out of her car.
I clung my arms on them to keep myself from falling to the ground. My vision is blurry and everything is spinning making me dizzy.
"Maddie!" A voice shouted, there's no need for me to see the person to know who it is.
It's Therese voice full of worry. I squinted and saw all of my best friends waiting for me including Ate Ly and ate Ara, who both has a stern look.
"My gosh, you're wasted. What happened to you?" She held my face and examined it.
Despite being disoriented I freed myself from Cienne's hold and smiled at Therese.
"Hello, my dearest best friend." My smile is cheeky. And I know I am acting loopy.
"Hi, guys! Fancy seeing you here." I tried to walk towards them but I felt my knees buckle.
"Woah!" Bea run and caught me mid-air. "Damn it, Madds. Pull it together." She said through gritted teeth.
"Mabuti nalang friend ni ate yung may-ari nung bar. She might've recognized her." Cienne started explaining maybe because she noticed how my friends' look at her curiously.
"Sorry, for the disturbance Cienne." Ate Ly said.
I'm playing Therese's pajama buttons and she's letting me, her arms wrapped around me securingly.
"It's okay, she's my friend."
"Thank you, Cienne ha. Alam mo naman kung gaano katigas ang ulo nito. Mabuti napasunod mo siya." It's ate Ara.
"That's nothing." I heard her chuckle but my attention is still on my best friend's pj's.
"Ayaw mo bang pumasok muna? It's 5:00 AM na pala." Tey spoke beside me.
"No need, but, thank you. I'll go ahead. Bye guys, bye Maddie." She waved and I grinned at her.
We started walking again.
They sat me down on our couch, my eyes hurt, there's too much light.
"Gosh! Saan galing yan? She looks wasted." Gizelle exclaimed.
"Dapat talaga sumunod na tayo kanina." Jirah.
"Malay ko ba namang sa bar ang punta niya? We all know she hates those place." Bea answered. Although I can't keep my eyes open I listen to their conversation.
"Oh, drink these." Marge is holding a glass full of water and another one with milk in front of me. She's giving me her mataray look but at the same time I can see she's worried.
When she realized I'm actually too weak to drink it myself she sat beside me and help me.
"Ayan. Iinom ka ng alak tapos ngayon hindi ka makainom ng tubig at gatas mo." Therese told Marge that she'll do it and the latter gave way.
"Kung hindi lang masakit ang ulo niyan ay babatukan ko siya." Maririnig mo ang inis sa boses ni ate Ara. But because of my drunk state I couldn't care less.
"Can you handle her?" Ate Ly.
"Yes, ate." My best friends answered in unison and I laughed. I ignored the sharp glares I received from all of them.
