H Series : Healing the Girl named Lime

Prologue

"Li! Your phone is ringing!" Wila shouted.

"What?!?!" I shouted back.

We are in a middle of a large crowd of drunk people dancing their butts off.

"Phone! Ringing!" I came back to my senses and felt something vibrating in pocket.

I excused myself while getting out of the dancefloor. I signaled Wila that I'm out and she gave me a thumbs up.

Pagkalabas ko ay nagdiretso ako sa may VIP room at doon sinagot ang tawag. Buti na lang di tumigil sa kakatawag. Wala kase akong load eh. Hehehehehe....

"The heck, Lime Francine! Nasaan ka?!" napapitlag ako ng marinig ko ang boses ni Renzo.

I'm so dead.

"Club! With Wila, Ate Max and friends." I tried to sound cool but my insides are trembling.

"What?!?! How did you get in?! Minor ka pa!" he shouted in frustration.

"Ate Max took care of it kaya nakapasok kami ni Wila. Birthday kase ni Ate Jela kaya sinama nila kami." I tried to explain.

"What are you thinking?! Asan ka?!" I told him the address of the club we are in.

Sabi niya papunta na siya dito. He'll fetch me.

To be honest, I'm not a party girl. Napilit lang talaga ako kase kailangan ni Wila ng mag aalaga. And the fact that I can't say no to Ate Jela and Ate Max.

Ate Jela, Ate Max and Renzo were cousins. They are two years older than me. Magbest friend ang mga magulang namin partly because they are in the same field. Business.

Kahit mas matanda sa akin si Renzo, I don't call him Kuya. Why? Simply because he is my bestest friend. If there was such a term.

Halos lahat sila tinutulak na maging kami ni Renzo but I guess what we have is pure friendship. We grew up with each other and we're close even when I am already 17 and he's turning 20 soon.

I treated him like a brother already. I am purely lonely in the house if my Mom and Dad was not around because I don't have any siblings. So to me, Renzo was more like a big brother.

While I was sitting pretty in the couch, Wila entered completely drenched in sweat.

"What happened?" I asked her.

"A mess happened." she plunged into the sofa and started smashing her head onto it.

I won't ask her further because I know if she wants to share it with me then that's the first thing she ever did the moment she saw me. Machine gun ang bibig niyan eh.

The fact that I respect her too. Kung hindi niya sasabihin ok lang. I'll just wait if she already feel comfortable telling me what happened.

Silence was felt inside the room. Until I decided to break it.

"Renz called. He was fuming mad." I chuckled while telling her.

Bigla siyang napabangon dahil sa sinabi ko. Wide eyes she stared at me.

"Eh?! Sorry talagaaaa Liiii!" she whimpered like a kid.

I just laughed at her.

"Ehhhh! Sorry nga. Sumama ka lang naman kase sa amin dahil sa akin. Wala kase mag aalaga sa akin kapag nagwala ako bigla dito." nakasimangot pang sabi niya.
