One-shot Compilations

Drunk Talk

I woke up with a pounding headache, my tongue feels numb and my arms and legs are so fucking itchy. Ugh! Allergies. I thought.

I stood up only to regret it because I feel like throwing up. Agad akong pumunta sa kung saan ko nilalagay ang mga gamot ko. I took an antihistamine for my allergies and paracetamol for my headache. What happened?

I looked into the mirror only to realize that I had not removed my accessories and makeup. Shit! I was so drunk last night.

Kinuha ko ang phone ko and it's off, low battery. I charged it and powered up my phone. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng marinig ang sunod-sunod na tunog ng messenger ko.

I found a few messages galing sa mga taong chinat ko kagabi. Wait! Wait! What the fuck! Ano 'to? I tried to recall what happened last night and then everything that happened came to me. Gago! Si Jack!!

"Why are you smoking?" I asked Jack habang nanlalaki ang mga mata kong nakita siyang naninigarilyo sa harapan ko. I don't like my close friends smoking, but that doesn't mean I won't let them. I tolerated it, but Jack smoking in front of me is a different story.

"I smoke," he said as he puffed the smoke out of his cigarette. I looked at him like he just lost his fucking mind.

"Why?" I asked him and stared at him in the eyes. He just shrugged. Bakit pakiramdam ko may something sa kaniya ngayong gabi na hindi ko maintindihan? Hmm...

"I haven't been home since last week," he suddenly announced.

"Y-You did what?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko sa kaniya. "Akala ko umuwi ka last week. Bakit? Gago ka talaga! What did your wife said?!"

"Wala," he said nonchalantly. I looked at him suspiciously.

"Oh, okay. Gusto mo lang magtrabaho sa office ganun? Kaya ka hindi umuwi," I asked, trying to understand why the fuck he did not go home.

"No, I didn't. I was out drinking and was absent for like a few days now," he said his tone is still calm na para bang normal lang ang sinasabi niya sa akin. It was a surprise to me. He did what? Hindi ako makapaniwala. Wala siyang sinabi sa akin. I always see his story sa Facebook and I just reacted heart to every thing he post pero I really thought he was at home.

"Like for the whole duration since we went out last week, you've been drinking?" I asked. I was trying to clarify what he just said.

"Yeah, I met new people..." and here he is again telling me how he met new people.

"You're killing yourself," I told him matapos nitong i-kwento ang mga nangyari habang nag-iinuman sila ng mga bago nitong kaibigan.

"Yolo," he said at nagkibit-balikat ulit. I squinted my eyes and glared at him. Tinaasan lang niya ako ng kilay.

"Yolo, right! Right! But you're killing yourself way too fast," I said and I never imagined that this day will come. You see, I'm the type of person who does not nag. I don't tell people what they should do or not. I just let them do it, either it be right or wrong. Either way, they could gain something from it. If they do the right thing then that's good, if they do the wrong one, then they could get better with the experience and lesson they learned from it.

"It's good hanging out with different people. Palibhasa kasi you're like a saint at palagi ka na lang nagkukulong sa apartment mo," he said. Inirapan ko siya.

"Wow! Amazing! You know you are a bad influence to me, right?" sabi ko sa kaniya. He smirked at me.

I don't do this kind of drinking a few years ago, mabait ako, but when I met Jack I started this bad habit of drinking. It's good, but I vowed to change this soon.
