"Whoa! What the heck happened to your eyes?" bulalas ni Piper nang bumangon ako mula sa pagkakahiga at nanatiling nakaupo sa dulo ng kama.
"Does it look bad?" tanong ni ko sabay yakap kay Mr. Tinky Winky. Napakabigat ng pakiramdam ng mga mata ko, inaantok ako na masakit ang ulo ko na ewan.
"M-mukha kang boksingero pagkatapos ng isang laban," sagot niya habang kinikilatis ang mga mata ko. "But at least, nagkakaintindihan tayo. Swollen eyes are better than a swollen nose, that's for sure. Why did you cry?"
"I watched 'A dog's purpose' and 'Marley & Me' back to back last night," pagsisinungaling ko.
"Uhuh?" Piper smiles and sits back on her bed, her legs crossed against each other to a number 4 position.
"By the way P, did you know that it was Warren's birthday yesterday?" tanong ko.
"Yeah, we know," tumango-tango muli si Piper, this time ay nawala na ang ngiti sa mukha niya.
"Akala ko ba december 25 ang birthday niya?! Ba't ganun? Ba't di niyo sinabi?" tanong ko.
"Warren told us by mistake when he was drunk," pag-amin ni Piper pero hindi ito sapat para masagot ang lahat ng tanong ko.
"Ba't di ko alam? Di ba kasama tayo lagi kasi walwal buddies tayo? Anong nangyari sa 'No troll left behind'?" bulalas ko sabay hawak sa dibdib ko.
Piper laughs and throws me her pink pillow. "You dumb baby! It was when you got drunk for the first time! You weren't there because you were out there ruining Hawthorn's night!" Piper says, putting me in great disbelief. Wait did I really just heard her right?
"H-hawthorn?" I stuttered, scratching my swollen eyes.
"Yup, The thorn of Rosespike, Denver Glenn Hawthorn," Piper says as if she's teasing me. "Wait you really can't remember?"
"What?!" I couldn't help but gasp. "Wait, was this what you meant when you said may kasalanan ako kay Hawthorn?!" Dali-dali akong napatalon patungo sa kama ni Piper at hinila-hila ang braso niya. "P, what did I do?! Anong ginawa ko?! Tell me!"
Piper laughed out loud. "It's better not knowing, B. You'll just get hurt. And besides, Ignorance is a bliss," she insists as she continues to laugh.
"Come on! That's not fair!" I insisted, trying to throw a tantrum.
"You'll just end up regretting over something you can't change. Believe me, it's for your own good," Piper insists authoritatively, like I mom telling her kid 'NO'. "This is also why we didn't tell you about Warren and his Mom," Piper adds while pointing to my swollen eyes.
