Xochitl:
Rush?

Are you awake?

Dous:
Yes peach?

Xochitl:
Sober?

Dous:
Hmm

Why?

Xochitl:
They're fighting again

Dous:
Are you scared?

Xochitl:
No, i'm just

I don't know

I don't wanna hear it

But I don't want to tell them that I already know

I don't wanna lose my family

At least not yet

Dous:
I'll call you

Do you want to hear me sing?

Xochitl:
Yes

Dous:
Wait for me I'll just get my guitar

Itotono ko lang, matagal ko na hindi nagagamit

Xochitl:
You know how to play the guitar too?

Akala ko drums lang

Dous:
Well all of the members of quanli at least know how to play the guitar

We don't really have fixed positions

River can play the drum in case i'm not available, gian can play almost all of the instruments, gab can play the keys too same with Avan

Xochitl:
Quantum leap is amazing

Dous:
Wait

I'll call okay?

Xochitl:
Yes please

00:01

"I hope this will distract you." She heard Dous' said at the other line followed by a chuckle.

She stayed silent, hearing the gentle strums of the guitar of Dous, na para bang tinitignan kung tama ang tono nito. He didn't sing yet but his chuckle sounds like a music somehow, for Xochitl it was like a calm after the wave.

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this mind, it was meant to be

As soon as he started singing Xochitl felt home. She never even knew how the fuck home felt like since she doubt she ever had one but with Dous' voice even though it might sound cliché she felt it for the very first time, with just two stanza of the song.

And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me

It felt great, too soft, too overwhelming that she felt scared, what if it will be taken away?

I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

If danger always feels like this, maybe she wouldn't mind risking it. Maybe.

She's scared to receive all of this. If it'll be taken away she doesn't know what to believe anymore.

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you
Oh, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

"Hey you still awake peach?"

"Hmm, I love your voice."

"You do? I'll teach you how to play the guitar some other time. What do you think?"

"I'd love that... Dous?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you."

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you
Oh, it's you, they add up to
Girl I'm in love with you
And all your little things

Kahit di niyo kilalanin yan basta yung boses saka yung strum ng guitar makkarelate naman kayo, think of him as Dous.

Ganyan po haranahin ng isang Alfred Rush Santillan II.
