Nevermore

Chapter 12: Wonderland

Huli na ng maalala ko na may benda pala ang dalawa kong kamay dahil naitapat ko na iyon sa gripo at tuluyang nabasa kaya naman tinaggal ko nalang ang benda at itinapon sa malapit na trash bin. I went back to wash my hands again and saw my reflection in the mirror. I am wearing a black star wars shirt and denim shorts. My tight curls are piled on a messy bun on top of my head. I have no make up and I realized how silly and juvenile I must have looked like kumpara sa babaeng naka mini red dress na parang lintang nakakapit sa braso ni Colton. I pouted and left the bathroom on wobbly feet even as I removed my heels

I was heading back to the bar, when someone touched my shoulder.

"Achila..." I flinched at his voice and removed his hand on my shoulder

"Don't touch me." I spat before whirling around to face him

"You're drunk, I'll drive you home."

"No thanks, Jackson, kaya ko ang sarili ko." I marched back to the bar pero sinundan nya rin ako doon. Iginala ko ang aking mata at hinanap si Eros but they're gone at kahit gusto ko silang tawagan ay hindi ko naman dala ang cellphone ko.

"Come on, don't be difficult." Jackson tugged at my arm

"Is there a problem?" Colton appeared out of nowhere at mabilis akong kumawala sa pag kapit ni Jackson para lumapit sa kanya

"Get me out of here." I clutched at his shirt out of desperation

"Where do you want to go?" He asked as he put his arms around my waist

"To wonderland." I whispered so only he would hear

"Achila, do you even know who that guy is? Bakit ka sasama sa kanya?"

"Because anyone is better than you, Jax." I saw hurt flashed across his face but he covered it up, fast.

"Text me when you get home."

"You wish." I rolled my eyes at his retreating form at ng makalayo na ito ay bumitaw na rin ako kay Colton but he didn't let go of me at pinag taasan lamang ako nito ng kilay ng subukan kong umalis

"I thought you want to go to wonderland?"
