Say You Won't Let Go (Donny Pangilinan)

37 - REVISED

Donny

A few days later

6:46 PM

I was about to jog around the village but then Chris texted me.

Chris

Wru? Nasa Circuit, Makati kami. Tara shot!

Me

Pass.

Chris

Dali na, minsan lang eh. You need loosen up, bro.

Me

Fine. I'll be there.

I took a quick shower and just put on a casual attire then started driving all the way to Makati. Wala parents ko sa country ngayon kaya I'm free. If ate Ella finds out about what happened, for sure she'll explode. Okay nang kami lang nila Hannah, Benj, and Solana may alam.

Dumating ako around 8 in the evening and nag park. It was easy to find the place where Chris and Hans were at since nasa bungad lang siya. I was welcomed with bucket of San Miguel Beer and Red Horse.

"You made it.", Chris hugged me.

"Wouldn't miss it.", I smirked. "Kanina pa ba mga 'to?", natawa na lang ako nung nakita kong naglalaplapan si Hans at Janina.

"Yeah.", we both laughed.

Third Person POV

It was around 10 PM and naka-dalawang bote na ng SMB and Red Horse si Donny. It was obvious na may tama na siya. He kept on mumbling words his friends couldn't understand.

"Dons.", Chris called him.

"Donny.", still, no response.

"Donato.", Chris called once again.

"Ano?!", Donny yelled. "Uwi niyo na ako.", he groaned.

Chris and Hans were now struggling on how to bring Donny home eh may kanya-kanya silang dala na kotse. Janina was also stressed because she was contemplating on contacting Claudia and Sophie. No one wants to leave Donny wasted like this.

"Dons, you need to sober up so you can drive.", Hans said.

"Well, what do you want us to do?", Chris sat next to Donny and let him sit up straight.

Donny's eyes were so drowsy, his face was red, and he couldn't sit up straight. Biglang bumagsak ang ulo niyo sa balikat ni Chris.

He started crying.

Sobbing.

People were looking at him.

"Donny, pinagtitinginan ka na ng mga tao dito.", Hans said in annoyance.

"Eh sino ba kasi nag-aya dito?", Donny screamed.

"Ssh, hush nga, Donny. Tatawagan ko na si Sophie.", Janina said as she held out her phone and started to contact Sophie.

"Sophie?", Donny muttered. "Sophie!", he cried on Chris' shoulders.

Janina already contacted Sophie and luckily, sa Makati naka-base si Sophie ngayon.

"Sa may Greenbelt yung condo ni Sophie.", Janina said.

Chris drove using Donny's car, he's gonna ride a motorcycle na lang pabalik ng Circuit. Donny was really wasted among the 4 of 'em. First time nilang makasama si Donny nang malasing ng sobra. Before, it was Donny who brings the wasted ones back on their own place. Ngayon, si Donny naman.
