Richard's Standard

Chapter 12 - God Saved Me

I was in a place of entertainment where no one could ever stop me, I guess. I've been in a nightclub before, especially if I'm in pain. This serves as my way of forgetting the mess I'm in. I wanna enjoy this f***ing evening like this is my last night on Earth! Wohooo!!

I was served with Romantico Nightclub's best drinks and chicken wings and nachos. It felt like an electric sensation as all the people were shouting and dancing like nobody was watching them. The smell of the surroundings made me feel wild! The truth is, I drink like a fish. I can consume dozens of wine in just one gulp but I'm not doing it right now. Suddenly, I heard an energizing beat of music. It moved me like I'm floating and I went to the center and danced. I was smashing my head so hard like I'm not alive anymore. I shouted so I could beat the music. This moment is like a bliss of adrenaline to my life and all at once, I'm shaking. I fell on the floor but kept dancing. Other girls joined me dancing and we're posing like a worm. It made me forget my problem.

But I decided to go back to my area. I found out I was out of drinks already so I called the bartender and asked for another bottle of whiskey. It is time to drown myself!

The bartender was not listening to me 'cause he's busy talking to a lady.

"Hoy! Are you deaf?!" I shouted.

Still, he's not listening to me. Guess what I did? I punched him hard on his face! We started to fight and he got me twisted by his arms. The guards stopped him and let me go, but they put me outside.

"I'm not done yet!"

"Hubog na kaayo ka sir! Pauli na!" said by the guard.

I shook my head. "Useless! I don't understand you! Let me in!"

One guard looked at something from my jacket and took my cell phone.

"Hey! Put that back!" I shouted.

He called someone and I don't know who it was. They gave me back my phone but still won't let me in.

I sat down on a landscape laid on the side of the entry door. I was holding my head because it's too heavy to bear. Those drinks really made me dizzy but not really drunk. I suppose I have an alcohol tolerance.

A few minutes later, someone went over to me. "Chad..."

I looked up and it's Dona. She talked to the guards. "Sir, salamat kaayo ug pasensya."

"Okay ra lang. Paulia na na imo uyab kay samok," answered by the guard who's on the left side.

Dona helped me to stand up but I pushed her away. "What do you think you're doing? I don't need anyone! I don't need you!"

She still came closer to me and held my arms. "Lasing ka na. Ihahatid na kita sa inyo...."

I pushed her again. "I can go home alone! Leave me!" I started walking and I'm doing it criss-crossed.

She followed me. "Hindi kita pwedeng pabayaan. Kaibigan mo pa rin ako!"

"I'm not drunk! You're a fool! You're just using me so you can fool me!"

"Tumigil ka na, Chad! Halika na!" she grabbed my arms again and led me the way.

"You're so stubborn!" I shouted and I felt weak.

Dona was there to support me. "Tumahimik ka na kasi."

I remained silent 'cause I'm starting to vomit and I did. Worst, nasukahan ko siya sa damit.

"Chad......" she murmured while looking at me and to her shirt.

"I told you to leave me alone!" I pushed her again and she fell on the ground.
