Ivy's POV

"Guys. Punta tayo ng church. Magpasalamat tayo sa Diyos kasi kahit papano sinagot niya yung prayer natin na makilala natin sila." Sabi ni ate Kat. Nag nod kami at nag ayos. Nagleggins' ako at nag converse, Sinuot ko yung Macklemore kong t-Shirt and I was ready. "Tara?" Tanong ni Alex. Nag nod ako at bumaba kasama siya. Si ate Kat nasa baba na. "Tara na ate." Sabi ko. "Teka. Kuha lang ako ng pagkain." Sabi ni Alex at tumakbo sa kitchen.

We waited and nung lumabas na siya, naglakad na kami paalis. Dinaanan namin yung usual na dinadaanan namin para makapunta sa church. Medyo malayo, minsan tinataxi namin. And as usual kami lang yung nag dadaldalan habang Si Alex? Well. Her only company is her music-sometimes, tatawanan niya kami but that's it. Nang makarating na kami sa church, we went to our usual seats. Kadalasan si ate Kat ang nagppray sa amin, minsan pag wala siya at kami lang ni Alex, syempre ako, si Alex kasi di sanay mag pray sa harap namin o sa madaming tao. She likes it better na sila lang ni God. Nag bow kami ng heads namin at nagsimula si ate Kat.

"God, Thank you for the things you have given to us and to the prayers you answered. You made one of our prayers come true, meeting our favorite band. Making them our friends. Lord, we just want to say that please continue giving blessings to us as we continue to pray to you. Please forgive us from our sins, In Jesus name we pray, Amen." Pagtapos ni ate Kat. "Amen." Sabi namin. "Punta tayo S.M." Sabi ni Alex. Nag nod kami. Nang pa alis na kami may nakabangga sakin sa pintuan. "A-Aray! Aray!" Sabi ko at napaupo sa sahig. Tumingla ako para makita yung lalaking nakashades at hoodie.

"Hoy hoodie! Tignan-tignan mo nga yang dinadaanan mo, Ang sakit tuloy ng pwet ko!" Dere-Deretso ko siyang tinagalog. "What?" Tanong niya. Aba. Kano ang kuya! "I said watch where you're going, My ass hurts now." Sabi ko at ginlare siya. "Ivy tara na." Sabi ni ate Kat. "Saglit lang, Hindi pa siya nag s-sorry." Sabi ko and stared at him. "I'm sorry? Yeah. I'm sorry." Sabi niya at tinanggal yung sunglass. Nag gasp ako, Lord. Thank you po. "Justin?" I asked. "Hi? Please don't scream." Sabi niya. Nag shook ako ng head. "Uy! Iniwan niyo ko dun.." Alex trailed off ng makita si Justin. Si ate Kat talagang titig na titig eh. "Justin?" Tanong din ni Alex.

"What are you doing here? You were supposed to be.." Nag trailed off nanaman siya. "Yeah. I know," Nag pause siya. "My beliebers know I am. I needed a break, I wanted to live a normal life for a bit." Sabi niya ng naka yuko. "First One Direction, ngayon si Justin, mag iipon ba tayo ng singers?" Tanong ni Alex. "Did you say One Direction? I heard that they were here and I asked the police officers to send me here so I can find them. Do you know where they are?" Tanong niya. "Actually, they live with us." Sagot ni ate Kat. "Can I come with you?" He asked. Nag tinginan kami. "Yup." Sagot ko, nag nod si ate Kat, si Alex nag sigh. "Okay." Sabi niya.

"Diretso uwi na tayo. May maka kita pa sa kanya." Sabi ni Alex ng matamlay. Nag pout ako. "Pwede naman tayong pumunta sa S.M. na di siya nahahalata eh. Di ko nga alam na siya yun eh." Sabi ko at nagsimula maglakad. "Di okay lang. Tinatamad na rin lang naman ako." Sabi niya at nag force ng straight smile. "Okay." Sabi ko ng tahimik. Ganyan kami. Di kami nag pupumilit. Hay. "Everything alright?" Tanong ni Justin kay ate Kat. "Yeah. Everything is fine. They're just, a bit tired." Ate Kat answered. "So how did the boys found you? Or you guys found them?" Tanong ni Justin.

"They ran out of gas and their wheels were a bit flat. They stopped right outside our house." Sagot ni Alex na medyo inis. "Chill." Sabi ko. Nag nod si Justin understandingly. "Was it a bit unexpected?" Tanong niya. Nag nod kaming tatlo."So now they live with you?" Tanong ulit ni Justin at tumingin sakin. "Yup." Sabi ko at nagsipa sipa ng mga bato. "Dito na tayo maghintay ng taxi." Sabi ni Alex at nagsquat-in the comfortable way. "Is she okay?" Tanong ni Justin. "She'll be fine when the lads are back and when there is food." Sabi ko.

Ng sumakay kami ng taxi. "Oh Kat. San tayo?" Tanong ng driver. Ba't kilala niya si ate Kat? "Caleb!" Sigaw ni ate Kat. Ba't kilala ni ate Kat yung driver? Sino si Caleb? Wait, si Caleb! Yung nakilala ni ate Kat na hot driver, damn. Tumawa sila at sinabi na ni ate Kat yung place namin. "I'm sorry but I think I didn't catch your names?"

"Ivy." Pag introduce ko. "Alex." Sabi ni Alex at nag salute. "I'm Kat." Sabi ni ate Kat sa unahan. Napabreak si Caleb. "Anak ng-si Justin ba yan?!" Tanong niya ng pabulong pero may halong excitement. "Y-Yeah."Sabi ni Alex at nirub yung ulo niya. "Ang sakit nun kuya ah?" Dag-dag niya. "Sorry, fan kasi sister ko. Fan ng 1D at ni Justin." Sabi niya. Niroll ni Alex eyes niya. "Really now.." Alex murmured. "I'm guessing you want an autograph?" Tanong ni Justin. "Yes please." Pag pause ni Caleb at kumuha ng pen at paper. "Her name is Shaina." he added.

May narinig kaming mga honk sa likod. "We better move." Sabi ni Justin ng binigay niya yung papel at ballpen. Caleb nodded and moved.

-House-

"Bye Caleb. Salamat." Sabi ni ate Kat at inabot yung bayad. "Bye. Salamat din. Thank you Justin." Sabi ni Caleb at umalis ng nagnod si Justin. "So, this is your place huh? It's big." Pag comment niya. "Do your parents live here too?" Tanong niya. "No and we're not blood related, we're bestfriends that treat each other like sisters." Pag explain ni Alex habang binubuksan yung pinto. "How do you pay your bills? How did you even buy this mansion?" Tanong niya na gulat na gulat nung naka pasok na kami. "Hoy. Hindi kami pulubi. Nagpapaka hirap kaming magpalago ng pera samantalang ikaw.." Derederetsong tinagalog ni Alex si Justin. "Calm down." Pag ano ni ate Kat kay Alex.

"What did she say?" Tanong ni Justin. "It's better if you don't know." Sabi ko at ngumiti. Umalis si ate Kat at si Alex. "So.. How?" Tanong niya ng soft. Umupo ako sa sofa at tumabi siya sakin. "We're like, a bit famous. We're a Youtubers. We have fans. We have sponsors. We have money." Pag explain ko. "Oh. That's nice to know. How can you keep calm when you already met One boyband and a solo artist?" Ang dami niyang tanong. "Because we already met some Pilipino artists here in the Philippines and at first we fan-girl everytime they turn around but we got used to it." Sabi ko at nag yawn.

"Save your other questions later. I'm a bit sleepy." Sabi ko at humiga sa lap niya. "If your not comfortable just say it." Pagmumur ko. "It's fine. Go to sleep." Sabi niya as he stroke my hair. I closed my eyes and let everything sink in.

One: One boyband came up our front door and asked if they could live here for a while, we said yes. Now we're like friends-wish we can be best friends.
And two: A solo artist called Justin Hot Beiber is freaking stroking my hair to sleep.

So. Many. To. Take. In. Flab. Dammit.
