"Sa US na po ako mag-aaral." I thought I'm his home, but I guess, I'm not. He feels like home to me. But tonight, I'm on grief 'cause I think I've lost him--I've lost my home. It hurts so much to the point I made a really hard decision. To leave them. Music: Forevermore by Side A

Hindi kagandahan ang boses—iyon ang totoo. Nagsimulang tumugtog ang intro, at mayamaya ay kumanta na ako. “I let my soul fall into you. I never thought I'd fall right through. I fell for every word you said. You made me feel I needed you. And forced my heart to think it's true. But I found I'm powerless with you. Now I don't need your wings to fly. No, I don't need a hand to hold in mine this time. You held me down, but I broke free. I found the love inside of me. Now I don't need a hero to survive. Cause I already saved my life. Cause I already saved my life.”

Vernice Pagmulat ko ng mata, ramdam ko agad ang bigat. Hindi dahil sa kakulangan ng tulog, kundi dahil may bagay na dahan-dahang kumakain sa loob ko — isang himagsikan ng pag-aalinlangan at takot. Tumango ako sa sarili ko, kinuha ang sapin ng unan, at dahan-dahang bumangon. Bago pa man ako magbihis, narinig ko ang paghinga ni Chaos mula sa kabilang bahagi ng kama. Nakatagilid siya, tahimik, at para bang sinusukat ang bawat hinga niya kung gaano ako kahinahon. Hindi ko siya tinignan. Takot ako na kung titingnan ko ang mukha niya, maaakala niyang papatulan ko ang damdamin ko at magmumukha akong mahina.

"Endless nights... That emptiness lasted forever... When all I wanted was for all of us to be together..." I bit my lower lip as I felt my tears streaming down on my face. Kristen... I didn't know. "Home... Finally home... Sometimes it's hard to stop a rolling stone... But wherever it may roll... It always seems to find his way back home... It always seems to find his way back home... I always seem to find my way back... home..." Just as she ended the song, my tears kept streaming down on my cheeks. I can't stop it. "M-Ma..."

Ang mukha na minsang sumagi sa isip ko at gumising sa natutulog kong kuryosidad, kuryosidad sa pagkatao ko at kung sino ako. Lumawak ang ngiti nito at muling hinaplos ang pisngi ko. "You're finally home. Ace."

I'm Gonna swallow my pride Say I'm sorry Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me I want a new life And I want it with you If you feel the same Don't ever let it go You gotta believe in the spirit of love It'll heal all things It won't hurt anymore No I don't believe our love's terminal I'm down on my knees begging you please come home." This song hit us so much. "Can we go back to the days our love was strong? Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong? Can somebody tell me how to get things back The way they use to be? Oh God give me a reason I'm down on bended knee I'll never walk again until you come back to me

Close sa kama. Yung feeling na kahit ang ilap ilap nya, kahit wala pa akong alam kahit ano sa kanya dati, kahit halos ayaw nya ako kausapin, nag-iiba lahat pagdating sa kama. Dun ko napi-feel yung lahat ng itinatago nya, doon namin ibinubuhos lahat. Basta! Marahan kong tinapik si Kara nang maipark ko ang kotse. Walang bakod ang bawat bahay sa subdivision pero may garahe.

Umiiling itong napatingala at nahihirapang nagbuga ng hangin. “Itigil na natin ito. Ayokong patuloy na masaktan. Ayokong maging tanga at paikutin mo hanggang dulo. Ang importante sa iyo ay ang posisyon mo at ang makapang-akit ng ibang babae na higit sa akin. Habang ako mananatili mong parausan hangga’t gusto mo.” Mapait nitong pagbitaw ng mga salita. “We are over.” She dropped the final words before she ran away again.

"I don't want to look at you with your uncomfy face. It makes me uncomfy and sad." "I'm okay lang naman, e. I'm just thirsty baby. Manonood pa tayo ng movie na gusto mo, kakain pa tayo at mamimili ng madaming laruan mo. Ikaw yung may gusto na pumunta tayo rito 'di ba? I'm okay, promise, don't mind me." Umiling-iling lang siya at ngumuso, nagsalubong pa ang kilay niya. "Mommy Solene is okay!" "No! Let's just go home, please? I don't want them to take photos of us also," mas lalo siyang ngumuso bago nag-iwas nang tingin.
