Our class just ended and I decided na pumunta kayna Liam kasama si Ace. I know it's not a good idea, because he's still in the verge of break down and he's still mad at us, most of all at me for interfering but, para saan pa na tinawag kaming kaibigan if we wouldn't simply be there for him. Bahala na kung itaboy kami.

Honestly, I already feel like I failed as a best friend to him.

I park my mom's car in front of their mansion when we arrived. Pag baba namin ni Ace ng sasakyan, nag ring naman 'yung phone ko. Kinuha ko siya sa uniform slacks na suot ko saka sinagot.

"Tiffany, napa tawag ka?" Nag ka tinginan naman kami ni Ace saglit.

"I heard what happened to him earlier and what happened to his parents...how was Liam?" She asked a little bit shaky.

"He's not fine." Sagot ko. I heard her sigh from the other line.

"Tiffany, hindi ko 'to sinasabi dahil best friend ko 'yung tao, I'm saying this dahil 'yun ang nakikita ko. Kung balak ka talaga niyang lokohin o pag laruan, he wouldn't act like that last night, I was actually surprised because that was the first time I saw him begged for a girl and if he wouldn't do that if it's just nothing."

"Pumunta din siya dito sa bahay kagabi, nag maka-awa din siya kay mama para lang maka usap ako and he even cried. I don't wanna get mad at him anymore, oo nga hindi niya itutuloy 'yung bet, but he still humiliated me." Sagot ni Tiffany, pausing to sniffle.

"But I witnessed how he reacts when it comes to his family issues and his parents separating... I don't know how was he dealing with that right now. My point is, he made a mistake on me but something in me is telling that 'wag nang dumagdag sa baggage niyang alam kong sobrang bigat na." Dagdag ni Tiffany.

"He's a one lucky damn ass hole to have a girl like you." Sabi ko naman smiling a little. She chuckled silently.

"Do you think it's a good idea if I visit him today?" Tanong naman niya.

"I can't answer that, pero nandito kami ngayon ni Ace, we got you."

"Thank you. I'll see you there." Then she hang up the call.

Nag senyas naman ako kay Ace that we'll go. Nag door bell ako at pinapasok naman kami ng guard nila since kilala na naman kami. Pag dating namin sa front porch, kumatok naman ako at pinag buksan naman kami ng kuya ni Liam na si Clyde.

"Nandiyan si Liam?" Tanong ko and he nodded, gesturing na pumasok kami.

"Liam, nandito mga kaibigan mo oh." Clyde announced when we entered their living room.

Liam was sitting on the carpeted floor. He didn't look up at us at na natili lang naka yuko. 'Yung kanan na kamay naman niya naka lusot sa bulsa ng hoodie na suot niya.
He looks more worse kumpara kanina sa school.

"Hey, bro it's us." Medyo mahina kong sabi, stepping a little closer to him.

"Don't dare go near me." He warned in a cold and hoarse voice, kaya na tigilan din ako. Then he looks up at me and Ace, smirking a little.

"Thank you for coming though." Walang emosyon na sabi ni Liam. Sasagot na sana ako, when their father, Tristan entered the living room na mukhang kagagaling lang sa opisina o kung saan man. Ka sunod naman niya pumasok si Joan. Na gulat naman Clyde, while Ace looks away with a scowl on his face.
