"Waaayne! Hell-oooo! Kunin mo'ko p-please?"

I heard him cuss from the other line, "Why are you drunk again, Hershey?" He asked seriously.

"Kase ang sarap ng alak! Potchi nakakaadik na!" I shrieked and giggled endlessly.

He sighed, "Where are you?"

I giggled again, "Are you dumb? Nasa labas ng bar!" I said smiling like a baby girl.

"Address Hersh, address," He groaned, he sounded like he was so done with me.

"Ay!" I giggled, "E, 'di ko alam. Dinala lang kase ako nila Lena dito," I said as I sniffed, and sobbed badly.

"Are you crying?! Hey, ba't ka umiiyak?" He panicked, naririnig ko ang parang kumakalampag na tinig sa linya nya.

"Am I l-lost? Di na ba ako m-makakauwi?" I sobbed harder. Napalingon-lingon ako sa highway, but there were no vehicles passing by.

"Hey calm down, shit!" He blurted out, panicking badly, "Hershey wala na akong nagagawang tama dahil sa kaiiyak mo. Please calm down," pagsusumamo nya.

"I don't know where I am!" I squealed, as I lay on the cold concrete floor, "Tatawag na lang ako ng police."

"What?! Wai- no! Hersh no! Nasaan ba kase sina Lena?!"

"Hala! Naiwan ko sila sa loob!" I shrieked as I ran to the bar again tripping along the way because of my drunken state and damned heels.

"Lena! Willow!" I called.

"Hershey please stay in one place," Wayne commanded.

My brows furrowed, "E nasa bar nga lang ako e," Pagmamaktol ko.

I heard him heave a long sigh, "Ask the bartender the address of that bar," He ordered.

"Excuse me! Kuya, ano po ba daw yung bar na may address?" I asked with all smiles.

The bartender looked at me confused, "Wha- Geniece Hershey! Listen to me!" Wayne piped, he was starting to get frustrated.

I giggled, "Okay!"

"Tanungin mo kung anong address ang bar na yan. Naiintindihan mo ba ako?"

"Yes!" I answered and faced Kuya Bartender again, "Kuya anong address ang bar na yan?" I asked enthusiastically.

"Hershey!" He scowled, making me pout.

"W-why? Did I d-do something b-bad?" I sobbed.

"Tangina naman oh!" He cussed, "Can you give your phone to the bartender?"

"Ha?! No! Wala na akong ibang phone!" I said, wiping off my tears.

"We're going in circles here for fuck's sake. Just let the bartender borrow your phone, okay?" He said calmly.

"Oh! Okay!" I shrugged as I gave the bartender my phone.

"Hello?" The bartender said. Then he paused, listening to Wayne from the other line, "The Pier po," He answered with all respect.

Then he bid goodbye and gave me my phone back.

"Ma'am he said he'll get you here in 20 minutes. Stay where you are," The bartender said as he turned his back on me and started to help his fellow bartenders.

I looked around, I can't find Willow and Lena anywhere. Nasaan kaya sila? Napapikit ako, the strobe lights were beaming on me, "Shoo!" Bugaw ko. Agad naman itong umikot sa ibang direksyon. Awhile later it came back, "Shoo!"

"Pesteng strobe lights. Hindi marunong makinig," Pagdadabog ko, as I walked to the exit.

"Aray," Ungol ko nang natapilok ako dahil sa heels ko.
