2. Night Out
NATHALIE's POV
Nasaan na ba sila? Ba't ang tagal naman nila? Are they stuck in there or napadpad na sila sa smoking area? 'Di ba sila nalamon ng inidoro 'don? I don't know why, I'm feeling something fishy about their sudden disappearance.
"Wala 'man lang silang paalam? They inform us naman if they wanna get laid kaya aalis sila." Kylie shrugged.
"Get laid? Pati si Kurt?" I reacted.
"We all know Earl, si Shawn naman gusto lang naman ng landian without other things, malay niyo hanapan lang nila chix si Kurt." Rhian laughed out loud, obviously teasing me.
"Baka naman nag-yoyosi lang." I said, convincing them na walang girls involved ang pag-alis nila.
"Kurt doesn't smoke." Ella suddenly spoke.
"And Earl stopped because of someone." Chyros chuckled.
"Who?" Rhian's surprisingly curious about it.
"Baka nag-restroom lang sila." Kylie mumbled when Chyros didn't answer Rhian's question.
"It's been 30 minutes, why would they hang out sa restroom?" Napailing iling ako sakanila.
"Why don't you go after them to check, Chy?" Ella suggested. She's right, mapa-paranoid lang kami dito if we don't move.
"No need, they'll come back eventually." Chyros turned it down, like he's not worried at all. Does he know something we don't?
"Get your ass out of that fucking chair, baka kung napano na mga gagong iyon." Pinitik ni Rhian ang tenga niya, medyo matagal na kasi sila at hindi pa bumabalik.
"Fine! Don't talk to strangers while I'm gone, girls." Tumayo na si Chyros bago nila tinahak ang dinaanan nila Kurt kanina.
It took them 10 minutes or so nang makabalik sila Chyros. Para ba'ng binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig after seeing them wounded, lalo na si Kurt. Good thing there's no blood pero halatadong napa-away sila.
"Uwi na tayo." Kylie said shortly, without asking anything at all.

"Kurt, magpa-salamat ka nalang talaga na hindi masyado napuruhan ang mukha mo! Ano ba kasi nangyari!?" Kylie scolded him.
Nanatili ako nakasandal sa pader habang ginagamot nila Kylie ang ilang bruises 'nina Shawn, Earl, at Kurt. Till now, I can tell na wala pa din sila sa mood.
"Itong tatlong itlog, they went after the guys you talked to kanina, Thalie." Chyros spoke for them.
"What!?" I reacted.
"Wala naman masamang ginawa yung mga lalaking iyon! They left as soon I told them that I'm unavailable." Huminga ako ng malalim to calm myself down.
"Thalie, hindi kami ang napa-labas ng bouncer. We did what's supposed to be done." I observed Kurt, hindi naman siya mukhang lasing! He's not like this naman talaga.
"What exactly is that, Kurt? Hurt someone?"
"Nathalie, dahan-dahan sa pananalita." Rhian whispered sa gilid ko.
"I have my reasons." Kurt uttered, like he doesn't regret any single thing he did.
"Still, you could've just talk to them calmly! We all know that one mistake could ruin the reputation we've been protecting for life. Stop risking shit, Kurt."
