Special Chapter Pt. 1 : Gabe's Birthday!

Mark approached Gab who is currently in the pool area drinking beer...

Mark: You good?

Gab: Yeah...

Mark: You sure?

Gab: Eh, ikaw? Okay ka lang?

Mark: I'm fine...

Gab: Beer?

Mark: Nah...

Gab: Suit yourself...

Mark: Did something happen between you and Dani?

Gab: What do you mean?

Mark: I'm not really sure... because whenever you guys quarrel you never shut up... But now, it's different...

Gab: I guess, things just got serious these days' kaya ganito ako... but okay lang kami...

Mark: Did you go to the party?

Gab: Uh huh

Mark: How did it go?

Gab: Got insulted... big time...

Mark: Oh, I see... so her parents didn't accept you?

Gab: Obviously...

Mark: But why did you go if you "obviously" know their reactions?

Gab: Because it was worth the try?

Mark: You failed though... and things got worse...

Gab: Isang malaking dagok lang to sa relationship namin... malalampasan din namin to...

Mark: You sound so hopeless though...

Gab: Wala lang to... nalulungkot lang talaga ako kasi bantay sarado si Dani... hindi ko siya makakasama sa birthday ko...

Mark: So that's why you were so dramatic!

Gab: Ulol! Anong dramatic? Ikaw ang dramatic!

Mark: Whatever... can't you just call her?

Gab: Ayokong pagalitan siya...

Mark: You've already done enough damage... so honestly think a call would make a difference?

Gab: I don't wanna risk it...

Mark: When was the last time you saw her?

Gab: After namin umalis sa party... nag roadtrip kami... kasi ayaw niya umuwi... and I don't want to force her as well... so yeah...

Mark: So how did it go?

***flashback to 2 weeks ago***

Gabe: Dani... I don't want to make things worse between you and your parents...

Dani: Just drive Gab...

Gab: ...

Dani is crying.

Gab pulled over and hugged her.

Gab: I-iyak mo lang yan... nandito lang ako...

Dani couldn't say anything... tears just won't stop falling from her eyes.

Gab felt her pain... he wants to take it all away from her.

He hugged her tighter...
