04 | Sierra
The last song started to play. Patience by Guns N' Roses. Everybody screamed their hearts out as the intro started, it was pretty chill. The whole night was filled with singing and just enjoying this live band playing. As for me and Donny, let's just say things isn't as awkward as I thought.
The audience sang with the band, I smiled as the thought of the song. I have to admit, this song is perfect for what I'm feeling right now. He might be here. With me. But it wasn't like it used to be. I just missed it.
"Enjoying it?" his husky voice made me shiver. Damn Donny.
Even though he can't see me clearly since it's a bit dim, I smiled and hummed. Saying, "This has been a great night."
As the chorus played, Donny and I joined everybody as they sing. I laughed and look up at Donny, remember, he's so tall.
I took my phone out and take some pictures. I also take a video, facing it on my face showing Donny at the back. He didn't notice me taking a video, I smiled as I see him looking up at the stage with amazement. I step back, making him look down at me as he noticed my phone. He smiled at it. You so fucking precious when you smile.
I smiled again in the camera still taking the video, when he slowly wrapped his arm around me as his chin rested on my head. Yes, that's how short I am.
I stopped the video. I froze, but surprisingly he lead me to sway with him and the band playing. A familiar feeling inside me erupted, never felt this for a long time. I feel different. I feel love?
You could say it's impossible since this is only the second time that we hanged-out, or probably the first since it was just an encounter at the graduation ceremony. Yet, it feels like it. He never let go of me, his arms are still around me. Not going to lie, this is really comfortable. Just the thought of him, no, I mean just him. Here with me. His freakin' arms wrapped around me. It feels safe. He makes me feel safe.
Stayed like this until everybody cheered as the band bowed in the crowd. Wow, I barely noticed that the show was over. He lets go of me and I stood there awkwardly. I'd be lying if I say I didn't enjoy him doing that, but does it mean something?
We were few of the last ones to go out since we were in the VIP section, some noticed Donny which they took the opportunity to take pictures with. Later on, we got out from the arena with people starting to disappear for they are about to head home.
"I'm starving, should we get some food?" I suggested as we walk to the parking lot.
"Yeah, sure. McDonald's?" he grinned then I nodded. As he walks ahead of me, his phone started to ring.
Though he didn't answer it yet. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to see who seemed to be calling him. As I read, Sunny 💕 calling...
Oh, okay?
"You should answer it," I say politely while his phone is still ringing, he quickly turned to me which is weird because he looks a bit pale right now.
"Oh, um... It's nothing important." he shrugs.
"Why would somebody call you this late if it isn't important, right?"
I clearly know what he's thinking, he doesn't want me to know something. I understand. But heck, he doesn't have to act something different towards me.
His phone already stopped ringing, "Uh, yeah. I-I guess, I should answer it." he stuttered then I just gave him a tightlip smile as he walks away to call 'Sunny💕'.
Thoughts filled my mind as I was alone, ugh I hate this. It's confusing me, why would he invite me to this concert when he has 'Sunny💕' like he can just take her instead of me. Maybe 'Sunny💕' doesn't want to go? Maybe she was the 'friend' who bailed Donny? Or maybe Donny was just messing with me?
I want to hit my head on the concrete so hard that I won't remember every detail of this night. I feel pissed, but I shouldn't let him know about it because it will make me look stupid. Donny would think that I'm childish to act differently after him calling 'Sunny💕'. Sierra, act like it doesn't affect a fucking inch of you.
"Hey, sorry." he walks back to where I'm standing, "There's an emergency and I have to go. But first, we'll get food then I'll drive you home."
"It's fine, I can just book an Uber or I'll just ring our driver to pick me up." I managed to say it without even doing anything that would give him a hint that I'm freakin' hurt. Nawala na po yung gutom ko, yoko ng kumain jk.
"No, I'm tak-"
"Donny, it's understand. You have to go." another tightlip smile appears on my lips, "You've done enough tonight, I had fun." I confessed.
I can see guilt in his eyes, "I'm really sorry."
"Hey, you don't have to say sorry. Now go, I'll be okay."
"You sure?" he asks with a concern tone.
I nod. "I will be okay. Thank you."
"It's nothing." he grins looking down, digging his hands inside his pockets. "It's the least I can do."
I didn't say in return, he said good-bye. Well, I just wave at him because maybe I don't want him to hear my broken voice. Because after he drives off, I was left in tears in the middle of the parking lot.
Clearly, I want to take back what I said. I hope it lasts? I hope it stops. I hope it stops because it hurts.
Well, that wasn't a good night.
