this chapter gets way sadder then what i planned. you have been warned
After school my mama picked me up and drove me back to our house. We got home and walked into the house. Mama turned to me and spoke. "ang iyong tatay ay nagpunta sa isang paglalakbay sa negosyo." (your dad went on a business trip) She doesnt speak good english, which is part of the reason dad gets mad at her a lot. I nodded and looked around the house. She already picked up most of the glass bottles and beer cans. I could smell the febreeze she sprayed to cover the alcohol smell. It almost seemed like a different house. A house without him.
I helped pick up the rest and wash out the stains they left. "Mama! Tapos na ako, pwede bang pumunta sa kwarto ko?" (I'm done, can I go to my room?)
"syempre. ang hapunan ay gagawin sa isang oras" (of course. dinner will be made in one hour)
I ran to my room and flopped on my bed. My room was the only clean room in the house, mostly because mama wouldn't let dad into it. I relaxed a bit before deciding on texting in the groupchat.
AvatarTherapy: Hey guys! You wanna hang out?
CouldBeGayer: I'm with Joan rn. Who's house we meeting at?
DisneyPrince: We can meet at my house. My dads seem to like you guys and Remus went out with a friend
Marco&Joan: sure. we'll be there in a bit
AvatarTherapy: I'll ask my mama
"Mama, may I go to Roman's house?" I walked out to the kitchen where she was looking through a cookbook. She looked confused for a moment before recognizing Roman's name. She nodded and pointed to her watch telling me not to be to long. I smiled and walked to Roman's house. I was the last to arrive but no one seemed to care. We sat in Roman's room and talked for a bit.
"Hey Roman, you excited to work with Virgil for the singing competition?" Joan asked.
"Actually we made our own little bet earlier involving that. I get to take the emo nightmare on a date if he backs out, and I'll leave him alone for however long if I back out, which I wont be doing." He smiled.
"What happens if both of you back out? Or neither?" Thomas asked. Roman seemed shocked for a second. He really didn't think about this. Then again neither did Remy when he started that whole bet thing.
"We didn't really talk about that. I'll ask him about it tomorrow. When is that competition anyways?"
"I think a bit before school gets out" I answered. "We'll probably have to look at the flyer or ask Chad, Brad, or Kyle about it." Everyone nodded and silence fell upon us.
"Hey Em?" Thomas turned a bit to face me.
"Yes?"
"Can you sing your song? You havent sung it to us since grade eight" I chuckled a bit before seeing Roman and Joan looking at me with pleading eyes. I don't know why they like my song so much. I'm not much of a singer but they always ask me to sing it for them.
"I'm not getting out of this" I chuckled.
"Not as long as I'm gay" Roman laughed. I giggled and took a breath before starting.
"Well, I found a man stronger than anyone I know
He shares my dreams, I hope that someday we'll share a home
I found a love to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fightin' against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be your girl, you'll be my man
And I see my future in your eyes...."
I paused for a moment forgetting the words...I took another breath and started singing again.
"So I'm sorry to my unknown lover
