Chapter 60 | The Rest Of Us

Well its all right, if you live the life you please
Well its all right, doing the best you can"

Liam's Pov

Hinatid ko si Tiffany sa kanila, at six pm and my phone's already blowing up with messages and calls from Dad and Sandrew. Habang na sa byahe pa punta sa headquarters ng bad blood, naka received ulit ako ng tawag from Sandrew.

"Yow bro, I'm with Tiffany earlier kaya hindi ko na sagot tawag mo. What's up? Pupunta ako sa headquarters ngayon." I said upon answering the call.

"Tamang-tama nandito kami ngayon ni Ace."

"Cool, I'll see you there." Sabi ko, before I hang up. Within twenty minutes naka dating na din ako.

Siguraduhin lang ng mga pasimuno doon sa bet na wala sila dito, wala pa naman ako sa mood mang basag ng mukha ngayon.

I entered the house, wala pa din pinag bago, it's still a fucking mess. Tumigil naman sa pag lalaro ng X-Box si Ace at Sandrew when they noticed me.

I give them a smile, sitting between them on the couch. They both look at me. Sumandal ako sa sandalan ng couch at huminga ng malalim, running a hand on my hair. Paano ko ba sasabihin 'to?

"Hey, don't stress out yourself, we already know you're leaving tomorrow." Sabi ni Sandrew. Medyo nang laki naman mata ko sa gulat.

"Galing kami sa bahay niyo kanina para dalawin ka sana, e sabi ng tatay mo wala ka daw at sinabi na din niya 'yung tungkol sa pag alis niyo." Sandrew continued and I nodded slightly.

"So, how are you feeling about it?" Tanong ko.

"Masaya, kasi mababawasan na tukmol sa buhay ko." Na tatawang sagot ni Ace. I showed him my middle finger, that made him and Sandrew chuckle.

"Pero seryoso, malungkot kami siyempre, but alam naman namin na para din naman sa ikaka-buti mo 'yun, at wala kaming gusto para sa'yo kundi mapabuti ka." Seryoso naman na sabi ni Sandrew.

"Yeah, saka babalik ka naman e." Dagdag ni Ace.

"Yeah." I said agreeing and sighing.

Then we gathered our gang mates for a last meeting as a gang dahil Sandrew and I decided na i-disban na ang gang namin.(wow that sounds like a fucking boy band.) Though we told our gang mates if they still wanted to stay here, they are free to do so.

At the moment, na iwan na ulit kaming tatlo dito sa living room.

"You guys wanna do some shit?" Pag suggest ko sa dalawa, smirking.

"Hell yeah." They both said.

Mabilis kaming tumayo sa kinauupuan namin at nag unahan lumabas ng headquarters habang nag tatawanan like the crazy mofos that we are. Sakay ng kotse ni Dad, we decided to went on one of our malls.

Pag dating namin sa mall, ang una namin ginawa ay nag ipon kami ng mga bawat flyers, leaflets and pamphlets na makita namin, nang madami na kami na ipon nag we run around the whole mall, saka nag kalat ng leaflets, flyers at pamphlets, 'yung iba binabato namin sa bawat maka salubong namin, habang nag tatawanan at nag sisigawan ng inappropriate things.

Pumunta naman kami sa grocery kung saan may na namimigay ng free taste sa labas. From sample, hotdogs, milk, chocolates and many more, literal na inubos namin 'yun. Tinangay pa ni Ace 'yung isang tray ng chocolate bars, dahilan para habulin kami ng guard. Sakay si Ace ng push cart while Sandrew and him push him through the crowd, na takasan namin 'yung guard. Tinambay muna namin 'yung push cart in the middle of the mall para mag pa hinga, joining Ace inside we finish off the sample chocolate bars.

People's eyes are on us, giving us weird looks. But we don't give a hell, bakit ba? We are having fun! Besides, this is basically our mall...my mall.

"Remind ko lang sa inyo na hindi ako yaya niyo okay?!" Inis pero na tatawa na sabi Sandrew habang tinutulak ang push cart na sakay namin ni Ace, while we are nudging each other dahil ang sikip.

"Anong next stop natin?" Tanong ko ignoring Sandrew, earning a middle finger from him na tinawanan ko lang.

We went to the arcade and literally played everything there na pwede malaro. Nag videoke din kami, singing of course out favorite song, lost stars by Adam Levine.

Tapos pumunta kami sa bookshop saka ginulo 'yung mga libro doon, kaya hinabol ulit kami ng guard na naka assign doon, siyempre naka takas na naman kami.

We swear non of us are on drugs and alcohol. We are just naturally out of minds and that's why maybe we are best friends.

It's already ten pm when the mall closed, na ubos na din naman 'yung trip na pwede namin magawa doon.

We went to the nearby convenient store para bumili ng ten bottles of vodka. Bumalik kami sa parking lot ng mall to get my car at nilagay sa back compartment 'yung binili namin, leaving three bottles with us.

Removing the hood my Dad's car using the option in the car, we drove around kung saan walang traffic. Drinking, shouting, singing with the top of lungs and laughing. Not giving a single damn about the universe because the universe doesn't care too.

We are just some bunch of young mess up shits, just wanted to enjoy and be genuinely happy.

These past days definitely was hell and a total disaster, one thing I learned though is that life's not always rainbows and butterflies, mostly it was storm and hurricane. But you know what? Instead of getting damage by it or running from it, let's be the storm and hurricane. Not to damage anyone or anything, but to show that we can be more.

We are just some bunch of idiots who wanted to be a part of the big universe, even if just as a tiny spec.

Maybe we are part of the universe, we are probably stars---lost stars, trying to light up our own darkness that we built. Trying to be a part of something, like a constellation, to be something...to be someone.

But it's okay to be a lost star you know, because a star still shines.

-The End-
