Bring me back

Chapter 3

Liam P.O.V

"Kuya can you play with me?" My little sister asking while holding a doll. "Not now, Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Hmm.." nung pag tingin ko sakanya naka simangot lng siya ng naka tingin sakin. "I'll play with you later okay?" Dahan dahan siyang ngumiti. "Really!? Thanks kuya"

While I was playing a game on my phone, biglang umupo sa gilid ko si mom. "So Liam, how's your girlfriend?" She asked. "What girlfriend?" Tanong ko habang nag lalaro. "Maxine?"

"Ow Maxine, we broke up"

"What!?" Nagulat niyang sinabi. "Bakit break na kayo?" She asked.

"I just don't like her, ang daldal niya mom" shes so annoying. "*sigh...Liam you should stop going out with someone that you don't even like" hindi ko siya pinansin, habang nag lalaro ako may biglang tumawag sa phone ko.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Dude, I'm having a party at my place tonight"

"I'll definitely come"

"Awesome" he hung up

Pagdating ng gabi, inayos ko na yung sarili ko. While I'm walking towards the door my dad called me. "Liam saan ka pupunta?" He asked. "Sa bahay ng classmate ko" he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Sinong classmate?"

"Mark"

"Be home by 12" tapos umalis na siya. I walk outside the house and look for a Taxi. "Kanina pa ako nag paikot ikot wala paring taxi" luckily I'm wearing my jacket, its freezing cold outside. Habang nag lalakad ako sa may sidewalk may biglang huminto na kotse sa gilid ko.

"Hey Liam, need a ride?" She asked. "Nah I'm good" Nag lakad ako ng mabilis para maka takas ako sakanya pero, sunod parin siya ng sunod. "What do you want Maxine!?"

"Bakit ka naiinis? Diba pupunta ka sa party ni Mark?" (BTW half pilipino si Maxine)

"Yeah, so?"  Tapos she opened the door. I'll rather freeze to death kesa makasama ko siya ng 10 mins. Sinarado ko yung pinto ng kotse niya, tapos nag lakad na ako papalayo. After 20 secs of walking she finally give up. "Whats her problem? Sinabi ko nanaman sakanya na ayoko na siyang makausap"

Finally nakahanap na ako ng taxi. Habang nakatingin ako sa bintana, parang ayoko ng pumunta sa party ni Mark, I don't want to see that girl. All of the sudden my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Bro, where are you? Whats taking you so long?" Tanong ni Mark.

"I'm on my way"

Pagdating ko sa bahay ni Mark, ang dami niyang ininvite. Ang daming kotse sa labas ng bahay niya. When I entered his house, theres a lot of people. "nasan na ba yung Mark na yun?" tinext ko sya, sabi ko na nandito na ako. I stayed in front of the gate for about a minute, yet he's still not picking up. "nasaan na ba yun? ah-" may biglang bumanga sa gilid ko.

"I'm sorry-" my eyes widen nung nakita ko si Maxine. Hindi niya ako pinansin, nag lakad na siya papalayo. "Hey! Liam, you're finally here" sabi ni Mark while holding a beer. Bigla niya akong inakbayan tapos dinala niya ako sa kitchen nila. "here" binigyan niya ako ng beer. "Mark, you know I'm not allowed to drink beer"

"come on dude just try it" I took the beer from his hand and drink it. "Good right" he's right, masarap nga. kumuha pa ako ng isang beer tapos ininom ko.

11 pm na nag iinuman parin kami ni Mark. "dude, why did- even you, break up with Maxine?" he's so drunk. "I don't *burp know, hey! I need more beer!"

"yes *burp Boss!!" tumayo siya sabay salute. "Ugh....I'm so drunk" sabay nag head down ako. All of the sudden someone texted me.

"Mom- Liam nasaan ka na?"

"huuh? hindi ko makita yung text niya, it's so blurry" ni lalapet ko sa mukha ko yung phone ko, hindi ko kasi makita.

"Me- huuuuuuuuuuuh. Hewymomnqgsvdy"

"Mom- Liam What are you talking about? are you drunk!?" tapos bigla siyang tumawag. "ugh...so annoying" nag head down ako ulit. "heeey! dude, here you go...Dude" he started poking my shoulder. "ragh! stop it Mark!" ugh I'm so sleepy. "dude you're so drunk, you should go home. Your mom might kill you when she sees you this drunk"

"I don't....Careeeeee"

when I woke up, madali kong tinignan yung phone ko. "tsk 1 am na, I'm so dead" pag tingin ko sa gilid ko nakita ko si Mark na natutulog, nung pag tayo ko. "argh! my head hurts so bad" habang nag lalakad ako papunta sa labas, bigla kong na rinig yung boses ni Maxine. "Liam wait up!" hindi ko na lng siya pinansin, pinag patuloy ko yung pag lalakad ko. "Liam, you okay?" she asked while holding my arm. Napahinto na lng ako bigla sabay vomit sa gilid.

pinaupo muna ako ni Maxine sa may bench habang kumukuha siya ng tubig. "what am I doing? why am I letting her help me? ugh...This is so messed up" pag balik niya may dala dala na siyang water bottle. "here, inom ka muna" kinuha ko yung water bottle na hawak hawak niya. "Ang dami mong nainom na beer kanina"

"so?" I continue drinking the water. "Liam bakit ba galit na galit ka saakin? ano bang nagawa kong masama?" napa hinto ako sa ginagawa ko. "Answer me Liam. Is it because of Johnny?" I looked at her for a sec and looked away. "Liam...It was just a misunderstanding, he's just my friend. Their is nothing going on between me and him" she suddenly hold my hand. "I'm so sorry Liam, can you forgive me?" Dang it I don't know what to say. "Liam, can you kiss me?"

I looked at her, she immediately closed her eyes.

When I got home, I saw mom and dad na nag hihintay sa may tapat ng gate. "Liam!" I'm so dead. "You made us so worried, and you smell like alcohol!"

"I'm sorry mom, I wont do it again I promise" when I looked dad, wala na siya duon.

pumasok na ako agad sa kwarto ko. pag higa ko, hindi matanggal sa isip ko yung nangyari kanina. I kissed Maxine, Girlfriend ko na siya ulit. shes not really annoying, I was just jelous. If that Johnny guy lays a finger on her again he's dead to me.

The next morning, me and Maddie (Liam's little sis) are watching a movie. "Liam, nakita ko yung book shelf mo. Ang dami ng naka lagay"

"so what do you want me to do about it?" I asked. "clean it" pumunta na ako sa kwarto ko tapos pinag tatanggal ko yung mga librong tapos ko ng basahin. "ano tong box na to?" kinuha ko yung box tapos binukhan ko. "pictures?" tinignan ko isa isa yung mga picture. "ow this is me when I was young" I look so cute back then. "huh! lola Lusita" kinuha ko yung picture namin ni lola Lusita. "I miss grandma" nung pag tingin ko ulit sa box, my eyes widen when I saw this one picture. kinuha ko ng dahan dahan yung picture. "this girl with a light brown hair......."

"F-Felise!"

tumayo ako sa ikinauupuan ko tapos tumakbo ako papalabas ng kwarto ko. "Mom!"

nakita ko si Mom na may kausap sa phone. "Mom!"

"hold on a sec okay... What do you want Liam, can't you see I'm talking to someone"

"mom, I want to go back to the philippines"
