Sorry, I'm not her.

Chapter 5

Chapter 5
I'm at sea, Kelly.

Harper left after Coln did. I'm confused as hell if I should go to Kelly. He seems upset of me leaving him. I might say, I was insensitive for choosing Coln, but what could I do? I was stuck between two rocks. I feel obliged for what they are feeling.

I tried calling him but he is not answering his phone.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" I mumbled as I try reaching him again. Ano pa ba ang magagawa ko? It's already quarter to 6 and I am still sitting where Coln and Harper left me. Hindi ko alam kung anong oras magsasara ang pub na'to pero hindi 'yon ang importante ngayon. Itinago ko na ang phone ko dahil parang wala naman akong mapapala sa kakatawag sa kaniya.

*Beep*

My phone beeped. What now? I'm stressed and I don't have time to be stressing about other things now.

*Beep*

It doesn't stop beeping. I have no choice but to get and open it.

Oh, fuck! My heart felt like it saw a superstar walking in front of me. Why didn't I think of this earlier?

The GPS of my car notified my phone. I forgot that I set it if my phone is 5 kilometres away from my car. Shit's going where it should be.

I took a cab and the driver just followed where the GPS of my car is marked. Ipinakita ko kasi sa kaniya iyon after kong makapasok sa sasakyan. "Hey, this is Fremont," he pointed at where my Car is. "We're at Northgate, that's a long ride, you sure you can pay it?" his eyes are on the rear view mirror and he's looking at me.

Dala ko naman ang card na binigay sa akin ng NASA na if ever may emergency or kailangan akong bilhin ay doon lang ako kukuha. "Yes, please drive faster," I smiled at him. He seems not liking where we are going. Masyado kasing malayo ang 5km, naiintindihan ko naman siya.

He dropped me here in The Lounge, and as soon as I step outside the taxi, I saw my car parked outside this bar. I tried calling Kelly again but I think I just joked myself for doing that. He's not answering it.

I texted him that I'm here outside a bar named The Lounge but he still didn't respond. I tried opening my car but the key fob is with him, so I have no choice.

Grabe, I'm so tired following them both Coln and him. Ano ba talaga ang trabaho ko rito?

I went inside the bar and people are drinking and wasted. It's 8 in the evening and they're already drunk. I didn't have to show my ID to the muscular man outside.

Ang ingay rito sa loob at ayokong sayangin ang laway ko para isigaw ang pangalan niya dahil mapapaos lang ako.

This bar is full of cocktail tables and they usually have two to three person standing beside it. I couldn't find him on any of those. My head's having its bugs and it's getting hurt. I should find him as soon as possible.

Napagod ako kakahanap sa kaniya pero wala akong nakitang Kelly na umiinom ni isa sa mga cocktail table. Unti-unti na akong nahihilo pero kaya ko pa naman. I must not give up, he's upset and I should make it up to him.

I walked towards the bar counter to get a glass of water, but then I saw him.

His head knocked down the table. The bar cornering him is full of glass of beers.

Shit. Is this my fault? Is leaving him and choosing Coln over him is my fault? I want to scream and lecture him but I should not, it's not the best way to make him feel better.

"Kelly.." I mumbled his name as I sat right beside him. My left hand is tapping his shoulder slowly but he is still not moving any inch. "Hey," I tapped his shoulder a little bit harder. "Kelly!" my voice got its pitch higher and finally! I saw him moved. "Hey!"
