Nathan's POV
Biglang nag-walkout si Karter. I don't know what is up with him. He's the only guy I know who's never been tempted by girls. Not that he's gay, but it's something else, and because of what he said, I realized something.
Hi, I'm Nathan Diaco. My friends call me PB instead of my real name often.
PB in short for PlayBoy.
I'm only 16 and I already had so many girlfriends. Most of them were one night stands and I have never loved a girl before. Except for Tita Karrie (Karter's Mom) of course. She made me feel that I have a mother that loves and cares for me. I live with my Dad, he is a single Dad and I'm proud of him kase nakayanan niyang itaguyod kaming dalawa.
Karter's Dad helped my Dad a lot. That's why I also treated him my second Dad, and Sammuel's Dad as my bestfriend. Parehas ang ugali ni Sammuel tsaka ng Dad niya, kaya madali lang ito makasundo or maka-close.
Bumalik kami sa loob ng bahay nila Karter, kase kailangan kong mag-sorry sakanya. Masyado akong nabulag sa hate ko sa mama ko. Pati ibang babae dinadamay ko. Hindi ko din alam kung bakit ngayon ko lang ito narealize, pero sa tingin ko mas okay na ito, kesa naman umabot pa sa punto na makabuntis muna ako bago ko ito marealize.
*Knock knock*
"Come in" Karter.
"Hey dude, Nathan is really sorry for what he did, he's such an asshole, right? buti nalang talaga ako, loyal ako sa girlfriend ko"
"Shut up Sam" I said and suddenly, Karter laughed. Wait. Yun na yon? Ang bilis naman suyuin nito.
"Buti naman natauhan ka na bro. Naiirita na ako sayo e, puro ka babae,sex dito, sex dyan. Paano nalang kung nakabuntis ka?-" pinutol ni Sam ang pagsasalita ni Karter.
"Malamang bro, e halos lahat ata ng parties na nandon siya may naka-one night stand yan. Pero bilib talaga ako dyan kay Nathan kase walang isang babae ang naghabol sakanya at parang hindi na-attach sakanya after sex, right?" Natigilan ako. He's right. No one ever felt love from me, after making love with them. Am I unlovable? Is it really my fault? Or am I just over-reacting at this point. I felt devastated. Disgusted. No wonder my Dad keeps on saying things like "stop having girlfriends". Akala ko dahil irereto niya lang ako sa ibang babae, at ipapakasal niya ako sa anak na babae ng mga business partners niya. Ugh, I'm such a disappointment.
"Nathan, bro" Karter said and punched me lightly on my shoulder "You need to change bro. If you don't want your kids to end up like you, stop this. Your 'revenge' to your Mom doesn't benefit you, especially those girls. So please, stop" I smiled at him.
"Alright, bro I'll stop. Stop being gay bro hahaha you two are acting like gays right now" tumawa lang kaming tatlo and we end up playing video games and generally hanging out.
5pm.
"Hey Karter, I'm going to your school tomorrow because my Dad has something to do there, and he wants to say something to us three" I said as I was looking at my phone. My Dad messaged me. He said that he has something very important to say to the three of us tomorrow.
"Is Sam coming too?" Karter
"Wow parang ayaw mo ako pasamahin ah, of course I will come"
"Okay then, see you guys tomorrow" I hopped into my car and drove to my house.

(Green Light)
Magsisimula na sana uli akong magdrive ng may tumakbong babae papunta sa direksyon ko, at ng makalapit siya sa kotse ko ay hinampas niya ng paulit-ulit and salamin ng passenger's seat at parang gusto niyang papasukin ko siya sa loob ng kotse ko.
Gulo-gulo ang buhok niya at parang katatapos niya lang umiyak. Pawisan siya at walang tigil niyang hinahampas ang salamin ng kotse ko at palinga-linga sa paligid. Buti nalang at wala ng masyadong kotse sa paligid. Binaba ko ang salamin at nakita kong parang lumiwanag ang mga mata niya.
"Thank you" muling tumulo ang luha niya at pinapasok ko siya sa loob ng kotse ko. Is she a gold digger? A homeless person? A person who escaped from a rapist or a kidnapper? Who is she? Does she know me?
Andaming tumatakbo sa isip ko habang nagmamaneho ako. Is this a prank or something? Baka mamaya kasabwat siya nila Karter at Sam para itest ako. I tried my best not to look at her, and talk to her. It may look like I'm being rude, pero malay ko ba, she's a stranger.
"I'm sorry kung naabala pa kita, and nadumihan pa yung loob ng kotse mo, pero salamat dahil nailigtas mo ako" she said and started crying again. She's only wearing a tank top, and short-shorts. My dirty eyes and brain wanted to look at her body, but my heart decided to look at her eyes. I saw how sad and scared she is at that time. I don't know how to react.
"I-it's fine, it's just a ride" I looked at her again and she smiled at me.
"I was running away from my Dad. I had enough. He was always assaulting and sexually harassing me whenever my Mom wasn't around. I'm sorry if I look like a slut right now, but my Dad actually want me to wear this or else he's gonna kill me, so I had to.." she started crying and parang humihikbi na siya. I felt her pain and I stopped at a mall, left her inside the car and bought a pair of shoes, jeans, shirts and girl's underwear.
As I went inside my car, I gave it to her because I'm gonna let her stay in my house for a while. Hindi para pagsamantalahan siya, or anything. Siguro ito na yung start ng pagbabago ko sa sarili ko.
" What's your name again?"
"Trina"
"Nice to meet you Trina. I'm Nathan"
