MEANT TO BE 3 (Forever's Not Enough - GirlxGirl)

I THOUGHT I WAS STRONG

MUSIC: Warrior is A Child

It was past ten o'clock and Angel's not home yet... Chix was still outside, pacing back and forth. No calls, no texts from her daughter, and she's now frantic. Then she heard their house phone ringing ... She rushed inside thinking it might be Angel who's calling. But, Jigs was already there. Chix can't explain why at that moment she was feeling again that intense pounding on her chest...

Jigs was staring at her wife while she talks to the other person on the line...

"Yes... Amanda Chix de los Reyes lives here. This is Jigs, her wife. May I know who's calling, please?"

The minute Jigs let the other person talk, it can be seen on her face that she's in shock.... "What?..." She gave Chix a worried look. She was teary eyed. Chix held her hand. She's panic stricken...

"WHO'S THAT?! WHAT'S GOING ON?" Chix was trembling, and at that moment she was only thinking of Angel. Fear can be seen in her eyes... Jigs squeezed her hand.

"WHERE IS SHE...? WHAT HOSPITAL? IS SHE GONNA BE OKAY? SHE'S GONNA BE OKAY, RIGHT?" Jigs was trying to compose herself. She can hardly talk. Her hand was trembling when she put down the phone.

Those words were enough for Chix... Something bad happened to Angel... She burst out in tears...

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY?!" Chix felt weak inside. Jigs had to hug her so tight.

" I DON'T KNOW... BUT THEY SAID, ANGEL... THEY SAID SHE'S... SHE'S NOT OKAY..." Jigs whispered. She was crying...

Chix shook her head. She became hysterical... She faced Jigs... " NO! NO... SHE'S GONNA BE FINE... DON'T SAY THAT! MY BABY'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT BECAUSE SHE'S STRONG... I WANT TO SEE HER! " Chix was crying out loud. " I WANT TO SEE MY BABY!" She suddenly felt weak on her knees, and Jigs was trying to calm her down. Both her hands held Chixs' face...

"LISTEN... WE'RE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL, AND YOU NEED TO BE STRONG... WE NEED TO BE STRONG FOR ANGEL. SHE NEEDS US... AND SHE'S GONNA BE OKAY. SHE'S GONNA BE OKAY, HUH? MAMA? " Jigs wiped her wife's tears. She herself, felt so afraid but she needs to be stronger for her wife.

Tina just finished talking on the phone... She was trying to control herself not to cry because she still has to make a few phone calls. But she wasn't able to help it. Tears fell down on her cheeks, AND SHE WAS THINKING OF SUNNY...

"Hello, Nikka? Mumsy Tina here... Can we talk? I need to ask a favor from you... and from your friends..."

After talking with Tina, Nikka was already crying. She was looking at Sunny from the other side of the stage... She doesn't even know what's happening at the moment and Nikka feels so sorry for her. Then, Nikka didn't waste any time... She went to talk to the bar manager and she told him they need to cancel tonight's gig because something happened and Sunny won't be able to perform. They made a few calls for a temporary band replacement. After a few minutes, everything is settled . Another band is coming to fill in for them.

Now, it's time for Nikka to tell Sunny about what happened to Angel...

" What happened? Why did you cancel our gig? What's going on? " Lesboy looked so puzzled. Mahizaidi and Ninefour were exchanging glances. They don't know what's going on. Sunny was just sitting on one corner, away from them. Her attention was on her phone.
