Where do broken hearts go

Paths

I head out of the restaurant and started driving back to the office. We did not consume so much time it was just probably 20 mins or so, so I still need to go back to the office and continued my work.

I was about to park my car when my phone lit up showing me a notification. I glanced at it and turns out an email was sent to my personal email account. I decided to look at it when i'm in the office already.

I sat down on my swivel chair and logged in to my personal account. I put my finger in between my lips while waiting for dad to answer my call. A plane ticket.

"Care to explain?" I called dad

"I need you to go to Australia ASAP and fix the problem there" he spoke on the other line.

I sighed. "you know I have some business here right?" I said getting frustrated. He knows that i'm still working on finding A tas ipapadala niya ako sa ibang bansa?

"It's just for a month son and don't worry i'll handle it"

"Fuck, for a month?" I said with widen eyes for a second "that's too long dad, way too long" I stood up as my breathing got heavier.

"Okay then, when you finish your job then you can go back right away" and he ended the call. I'll be done in less than 2 weeks I promise.

"When are you coming home ba?" Chris said as I grab my luggage out of the car

"I don't know but I promise i'll be back in less than two weeks"

"Wag na bro" Dan joked.

"F.O na tayo pagbalik ko dito" Dan rushed to hug me on my waist acting like a child

"Joke lang to naman. Bring ka girls okay?" I heard him shout

"I hope when you get back you have someone na" Chris shouted too. I just chuckled and walk straight to the entrance.

AVERY'S POV

I'm very excited to go to the club again it's been 3 years since hindi ako nakauwi dito sa pinas. I missed my friends, my family and my home pero atleast I came back better than ever and I'm okay now.

I got inside of my closet and grab whatever outfit that caught my attention. I texted Andrea that i'll be in the club in 30 mins. I hopped in the car and drove off. The club's still full of brats, lowkey sluts and business minded people nothing big really changed.

"Hello ma'am welcome back" bati nung bartender. Correct me if I'm wrong this was the same bartender I met 3 years ago. Right before my flight I stopped by to this club, you know it's more fun when you think everything's falling apart.

"Hi, one margarita please" I ordered. My eyes wander around the club hoping to see Andrea the bruha. I saw my brother chatting with some girls in the corner.

"Brother!" I screamed at the top of my lungs hoping he would hear me despite of this loud music. He was looking everywhere so I waved my hands for him to see me. I couldn't really tell what his reaction was because of the lights pero he quickly ran up to me and gave me an embrace.

"I...when? when did you get here?" Chris said with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Are you not happy?"

"u-uh of course i'm happy"  but his face tells me otherwise. He's kind of like uneasy and very surprised at the same time.
