Gabb's POV

From: Chester

I miss you :'(

"Okay ka lang. Sino yan?."

"Ah wala.  Nobody."

"Si Chester?."

"Hmm sino yun?." Maang maangan ko.

"Echosera."

"Alam mo manood nalang tayo." Kaya nanood nalang kami.

Ella's POV

Napalingon ako kina Gabb at Belle sa likod. I see Gabb wrapping her arms around Belle. Gabb's eyes looks a little conflicted.

Naglalakad kaming dalawa pauwi mga bandang 5 pm. Grabe sobrang ganda ng sunset.

"Okay ka lang?." Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Bakit lahat nalang ng tao ngayon tingin sakin hindi okay?."

"Because you're obviously not. Kanina ka pang tahimik."

"Porket tahimik hindi na okay?. Di ba pwedeng I just want a silent universe?."

"You want what?."

"Peace. I want peace on Earth. And the only way I know to acquire it is through silence."

"Okay."

"Okay." She smiled and held my hand pulling me to walk faster.

I can see that there's something different about Gabb, or there's something different about me?. I feel like my heart is smiling.

[Justin Bieber:]
I hear a lot about sinners
Don't think that I'll be a saint
But I might go down to the river
'Cause the way that the sky opens up when we touch
Yeah, it's making me say

Tinulungan nya kong magluto. Hindi ko maintidihan pero parang bigla nalang na nagmukha syang wife material sa mga mata ko and everything is in slow motion.

There goes the warning again.

Nag-usap at nagtawan lang kami buong gabi. Para akong nasa alapaap at nakikita ko ang mga ilaw sa city sa gabi at andito kami ni Gabb throwing stars to grant people's wishes. Magkahawak parin kami ng kamay ni Gabb.

That the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Feels so holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
On God
Runnin' to the altar like a track star
Can't wait another second
'Cause the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me feels so holy

KINABUKASAN

Nakita namin yung mga taong nagpoprotesta sa harap ng city hall. May dala pa silang rainbow flag.

"Anong nangyayari?." tanong ko kay Gabb.

"Ayaw kasi pumayag ni Mayor na magkaroon ng pride parade."

"Pride parade? Ano yun?."

"Parade for the LGBTQ+ community to spread awareness about equal rights and protection."

"Well, I can't blame the mayor."

"Are we gonna argue about this sort of stuff again?."

"No. I'm just saying that the mayor's right for valuing morality more."

"Sinasabi mo lang yan because you haven't fell in love with a girl. I swear once you do--"

"Tsk as if that's gonna happen." Sabi ko at nauna nang maglakad. Hindi pa nga ba Ella?. Of course not!.

I don't do well with the drama
And no I can't stand it being fake (No, no, no, no, no, no no no)
I don't believe in nirvana
But the way that we love in the night gave me life
Baby I can't explain

But why are you looking at her now like she's the most precious thing in the world.

She's playing with the kids now dito sa park habang nakaupo lang ako sa swing. Lumapit siya sakin sabay sabi sakin,

"Tara kain tayo."

"What?."

"It's a date. Come ooon. My treat." Hawak nya sa kamay ko para patayuin ako.

Kumakain na kami at kanina pa siyang nagkukwento pero nakatitig lang ako sa kanya. The way she talk and laugh is just breathtaking and I feel like I'm slowly falli--no Ella, you're not!.

That the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Feels so holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
On God
Runnin' to the altar like a track star
Can't wait another second
'Cause the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me feels so holy

They say we're too young and
The pimps and the players say, "Don't go crushing"
Wise men say fools rush in
But I don't know
They say we're too young and
The pimps and the players say, "Don't go crushing"
Wise men say fools rush in
But I don't know

[Chance The Rapper:]
(Chance The Rapper)
The first step pleases the Father
Might be the hardest to take
But when you come out of the water
I'm a believer
My heart is fleshy
Life is short with a temper like Joe Pesci
They always come and sing your praises
Your name is catchy
But they don't see you how I see you
Parlay and Desi
Cross, Tween, Tween, Hesi hit the jet speed
When they get messy
Go lefty, like Lionel Messi
Let's take a trip and get the Vespas
Or rent a Jetski
I know the spots that got the best weed
We goin' next week
I wanna, I wanna honor you
Bridegroom, I'm my Father's child
I know when the son takes the first steps, the Father's proud
If you make it to the water He'll part the clouds
I know He made you a snack like Oscar Proud
Suffer it to be so now
Gotta clean it up
Formalize the union in communion He can trust
I know I ain't leaving you like I know He ain't leaving us
I know we believe in God and I know God believes in us

9pm. Nagsasalita parin siya but then,

"Ano ba? Haha. Gusto mo rin ba ng silent universe? Antahimik mo ah, kanina ka pa."

"Trust me Gabb, you don't want to know what I want right now."

"I wanna know." She smiled. At hindi na nga ako nakapagpigil. I pulled her closer and crashed our lips. She kissed me back passionately and we're almost out of breath nang biglang bumukas ang pinto.

"Anong nangyayari dito?!." Galit na galit na sabi ni mommy.

Dugdugdugdug

Bigla akong nagising. Panaginip lang pala. Pinagpapawisan ako mula ulo hanggang talampakan.

6am na. Tulog parin si Gabb dito sa tabi ko.

Ano ba tong nangyayari sakin?.

Can't wait another second
On God
