I have decided.. Itutuloy ko kung anong meron kami ni Patrick pero I will do whatever the hell I want. I am not a damsel in distress.

From now on... The b*tch is back.

In-on ko yung laptop ko. Nawala na social life ko dahil sa Patrick na yan. Ibabalik ko na ang dati. I will bring back yhe Elizabeth Renee that they once knew.

From Joshua: eli, please answer this msg. I really want to see you. Pls, eli. I stil love u.

From Patrick: els, hndi kta mcontact. pls, turn on ur phone. I need to talk to u.

Wth! Lahat sila gusto akong makausap. Wala akong ginawa maghapon kundi humilata sa kama ko. Wala akong alam gawin at wala akong alam na puntahan.

Nung mga bandang 3pm, niyaya ako ng ate ko na magpuntang mall. May kailangan daw siyang bilhin para sa trip nila sa Baguio. Inayos ko na gamit ko at chinarge cellphone ko. In-on ko na at hindi ko na hinintay kung may papasok bang mga texts. Naligo na ako at nag-ayos.

Nung nasa tokyo-tokyo na kami ng mga bandang 6:30pm para magdinner, nagvibrate phone ko.

Incoming call...

Pat Gwapo <3

Hindi ko alam kung sasagutin ko ba kaya tinanong ko ate ko.

"Ate, color green or red?"

"What kind of question is that?"

"Basta. Choose."

"Green."

I have no choice but to answer it.

"Els!"

"What the eff! Don't shout. I can hear you."

"Stop cussing. Hindi magandang pakinggan."

"Whatevs. What do you want?"

Bumuntong hininga muna siya bago siya nagsalita.

"Els, *sniff* I need to see you. *sniff*" what the hell!? Is he crying?

"What.. What happened, Pats? Where are you?" Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko. Feeling ko anytime sasabog yung puso ko.

"I don't know, Els. I don't know. I want to see you."

Toot toot toot

Parang kusang tumayo ang katawan ko para puntahan si Patrick. My sister grabbed my hand.

"Where are you going Elizabeth?"

"Let me go. Pat needs me."

"Okay. Just take care. Call me if you need anything."

I ran going I don't know where. I don't even know where to find him. I'm going crazy! I tried to call him again but his phone is off. Wala akong number ng mga friends niya.

Pats, where are you?

Naglakad-lakad ako papunta malapit sa bar nina Jordan. May malapit na park doon. I don't know if he's there. But I gotta try.
