Nasa bar ako nina Kelvin ngayon, first time ko uminom kaya naman nilulubos ko na, gusto ko kasi maglasing, gusto ko maging reckless, gusto ko kalimutan lahat ng mga information na natanggap ko.

I want to forget Van, kahit isang araw lang, the more it last, the more it hurts.

I want to be wasted, I want to be a bad girl, I just want to loosen up, I want to be the girl that they don't expect. Anong kaban ko kay China, Van obviously still likes her, and she has a son to him.

I want Van, I want him, pero I'm scared that I'm being overly selfish to somebody that doesnt even feels the same way as I do.

"Two more dry martinis please!" Sigaw ko sa bartender, tinignan niya lang ako, as if I'm kidding.

"It's your sixth..."

"So? I'm paying, two more martinis pleaseeee!!"

He gave me two more glasses of martini. The vibe of the place totally changed because the song changed, so I grabbed my glasses and left my bag at the counter.

"Kuya, guard this with your lifffeeeee! I'm just gonna dance! Woooooooo!"

I felt the need to dance the night away snd shake off the bad juju's of China and Van. I could feel the bass, it's the kind that would pierce right through your eardrums. I never felt so free, in my entire life.

Nobody giving me standards... nobody caring...

As I was dancing, somebody grabbed me. He was dancing so close to my body, it was really close and I'm so tipsy to even look at his face with all the strobe lights distracting me.

"Excuse me, solo act 'to! I'm not here to dance with somebody!"

I pushed him away pero the guy kept dancing so close to me, and his hand sliding at my back so I backed off and pushed him.

"Bitch! Why did you push me!?"

Next thing I know, he's on the ground with a bleeding nose.

Somebody punched him, tsk. Inunahan ako, susuntukin ko na 'tong bastos na 'to eh. I'm so tipsy na kada lakad ko medyo nahihilo na ako. I heard girls gossiping around me, kaya tinignan ko kung sino yung sumuntok dun sa lalaki. Hindi lang suntok inabot niya because, the guy was punching him to death kaya lumuhod na ako para paghiwalayain sila. The moment I did that, I got up but a guy grabbed me again.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Pero he kept holding my wrist, really tight. Nagsimula na siya maglakad at hila hila niya na ako papunta sa bartender. He grabbed my bag at mukang aalis ba kami.

"Excuse me! Sino ka ba!? Pwede bitawan mo ako!? Nasasaktan ako! This is kidnapping! Let go of me! Let-" natigilan ako because he pushed me to the wall and now nakikipagtitigan ako sa mga mata niya.

Shete.

Hawak niya pa rin yung wrist ko against the wall above my head.

"L-Let go of m-me" I said softly avoiding his eyes. His raging eyes.

Sinuot niya yung bag ko, hindi pa rin siya nagsasalita, nakatitig pa din siya sa mga mata ko.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING KIERSTEN!?"

Hindi ako makasagot, because I'm scared, and hurt. Not physically, emotionally. Kahit na wala siyang ginagawang masama sa akin.

"Why do you even care..." sabi ko ng mahina, still avoiding his gaze. Lalong humigpit yung hawak niya sa wrist ko.

"Im asking you!? What do you think you are doing!? Shit! I was looking for you, you've disappeared again on me! And now I'm fucking seeing you in this shithole!? Are you fucking insane!?"
