The universe is cruel. As the beautiful memories get wafted towards the edge of the cliff--- preventing me from reaching it, the damned ones were carved in my head perfectly. Fear and grief swirled together as the same familiar scene flashed before my eyes, turning me stupidly immobile. I took a quick pleading glance at the fear-stricken woman on the passenger seat. In spite of the world crashing before our eyes, the tenderness on hers never left. My heart started to thrash even though I already memorized every detail as if I were given a script. My cries remained within my mind before everything fade to who-knows-where, the Gods have failed once again. My eyes fluttered open, Kilua’s figure blanketed my sight from the white ceiling.

“See? This is why sleeping isn’t my thing. I would rather get hospitalized.” I abruptly sat down, not letting a drop of the nightmare consume my wavering mind. My cat released an annoyed meow as he naturally cascaded down to my lap.

My head then tilted to the large mirror beside my bed. Just as what I predicted, my cheeks glistened with fresh tears. I wiped it without paying a look at my eyes.

“Anong oras na ba, Kil?” I asked, more like to myself because the cat doesn’t know how to speak human.

The ends of my nightgown kissed my ankle as I raise myself from the bed. Dumiretso ako ng lakad papunta sa coffee table para kunin ang wine bottle na maayos na nakatayo. I’m surprised nothing disastrous happened or a lot more dramatic like throwing up to my carpet or something, I usually break them all out of rage after getting drunk. I stopped from attempting to drink it again when my phone buzzed because of a text. From Anwyn.

Nsa Jones kami, punta ka here!!!

She sent it at least twenty more times.

I rolled my eyes heavenwards. Jones’ the last thing I would visit even though they’d flatter me by begging for days outside my doorstep. My gigs are the only reason why I still go there, kahit na nakakairita ang pagmumukha ng kapatid ni Nathan. Even mentioning the name makes my lips twitch.

I slumped back down to my bed, fighting back the strong urge to close my eyes. It won’t do anything well. I am so sick of it. Instead, I hastily grabbed the laptop resting beside me. The clock on the screen tells me that I only had three hours of sleep. “Hell I care about that…” I mumbled. It felt as if it was mocking me because of how I deprived my body from a good sleep.

Everything’s testing my patience these past few days. I am genuinely curious who’s going to be the one receiving the final outburst.

My brows furrowed in full confusion after seeing an email from a familiar account. It didn’t take forever for me to click and bite my knuckle while scrolling through the message. My bones turned chill from being too tense. A year. It has been a year since she sent an email. I thought she died or something.
