Charlotte

Nick warned me before that some of them have genuine feelings while the others just wants to fuck.

Alam ko na rin naman na may gustong iba si Nick, inamin naman ni Daniel na crush niya lang ako at okay lang kahit hanggang kaibigan lang kami.

But the rest of them... Hindi ko magawang hulaan.

I really don't like this, na tila bang may option ako kung sino ang magiging boyfriend ko at bahala na kung sino ang masasaktan.

Why does is have to be this way? Nakasalalay ang puso nila sa desisyon ko. Kahit sino pa piliin ko o kahit wala akong piliin, I will just end up hurting them.

There's no escape from this.

Claude is wearing an all black slim tuxedo, his tattoos covered in formality, his disheveled hair making him look like a movie star in an action movie.

Whenever he looks up, I could see a portion of his tattoo at the side of his neck, trying to escape and peak through the light.

"I'm thinking about quitting Detour Kidz."

Nagulantang ako sa inamin niya sa akin. Detour Kidz his gangster crew.

"Bakit mo naisipan mag-quit?"

"Being a gangster would put my family at risk."

"Delikado nga ito, Claude." Tumango-tango ako. "But what about your resolve to fight and defend the Detour Kidz and the people of Detour Lane?"

Napailing-iling siya sa sarili niya.

"Hindi ko dapat sila responsibilidad. Sumali lang naman ako dahil sa tingin ko na kakayanin kong pagsabayin ito."

"Claude, you came this far and your family is still alive." I held his cheek with his dark eyes staring back. "I'm not saying you should stay but I'm telling you to find the reason why you became a gangster in the first place."

"I wanted to save the ones who can't defend themselves." Claude reminded himself rather than just saying it.

"You're the Dark Rider of Detour Kidz. You can ride through anything."

"Charlotte, I get what you're trying to do. Pero naguguluhan lang ako. Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang gagawin ko kapag nagtagal ako sa Detour Kidz." 

Claude became gloomy. He wouldn't look into my eyes, his dark eyes scanning back and forth from behind me, looking for signs of danger, and his thick eyebrows furrowed.

Nakikita ko sa kanyang ekspresyon kung gaano siya nahihirapan sa responsibilidad na pagiging gangster at kapatid ng mga Hansen boys. Hindi madali para sa kanya ang itago ang ganitong sikreto sa kanila.

"I'm also afraid if my brothers ever found out about it, mag-iiba ang kanilang tingin sa akin. I won't become a brother in their eyes anymore. Just another criminal." Claude said, looking down at his feet.
