Oli
Nandyan ka ba?
Oliver
Please

I stared at the text message Jace sent 30 minutes ago. Parang may kailangan siya. I don't know but I felt like something bad would happen. Biglang tumunog ang aking cellphone kaya sinagot ko.

"Oli!" Kyle was catching his breath.

"May problema ba?" I don't know but I was nervous.

"Nasaan ka? Puntahan mo ako, please. Puntahan natin si Jace!" Sabi niya.

"Bakit anong nangyari?" I asked.

"Wala na raw sila ni Odette. Baka nagddrive yun ng lasing," Those were Kyle's last words bago ko binaba ang akong cellphone at dali daling sumakay sa aking kotse.

"Fuck," Dali dali kong pinaandar ang makina at pinuntahan si Kyle.

I hope Jace is sober right now...

"Nasaan raw siya?" Tanong ko kay Kyle na bago bago lang na sumakay.

"Hindi ko alam, Oli. Wala na akong load," Nagppanic siya.

Kinuha ko ang akong cellphone at dinial ang number ni Jace.

"Detty," Sinagot niya. He sounded like he was crying.

"Jace, nasan ka?"

"Oli," he cried. He sounded drunk.

Fuck.

"Nasaan ka?" I was already shaking.

"Nagdadrive pa..."

"What the fuck? Park ka muna!" Please.

"Jace, hinto ka muna! Pupuntahan ka namin!" Kinabahan na rin si Kyle.

"Oli, bakit?" Humikbi siya, "Oli."

"Jace, I will listen to you after, okay? Just stop that fucking car now!" I was sweating.

I wanted Jace to know na may kausap siya but I needed him to stop the car.

I can't afford to lose another person important to me.

"Hindi ko kaya," His voice was faint.

"Please makinig ka-" then I heard a loud crash.

"Jace!" Sumigaw kami ni Kyle.

No...

I hate that sound.

I hate it so much.

"Fuck," I said and drove fast.

"Tangina," Kyle bit his nails. He was also nervous, "Oli, may tracker ka? Pwede bang ma track yung cellphone ni Jace?"

I suddenly stopped the car. Hindi ako makagalaw.

"Oli, huminga ka ng malalim," Umiyak na si Kyle. He patted my back.

I can't lose Jace.
