The Only Exception

Song 1: We Are Broken

"No. I've had enough of your bullshit. Save it for someone who cares." I told him coldly.

"And you!" Turo ko kay Aira.

"YOU FUCKING WHORE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND! I TRUSTED YOU! HOW COULD YOU FUCKING DO THIS TO ME?!" sigaw ko sa kanya.

She flipped her hair while covering her naked body with comforter.

"You know what? You lost. Akin na siya. We've been doing this behind your back for half a year now. You were too dumb to believe all the lies we spat at you. JIRO'S ALL MINE NOW. ALL MINE." She said like the bitch she was.

Being too tired for argument's sake, I turned around and was ready to go.

"WAIT! DENISE! LET ME EXPLAIN! PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN!" Pagmamaka-awa niya.

"Hasn't she done enough explaining yet? It's all fucking clear to me now. You betrayed me. For a hell of a long time. And for that, we're already through. WE'RE SO FUCKING THROUGH! So now, I hope you enjoy your whore. You can go to hell for all I care." I said, my voice dripping of venom and coldness. With one last glare, I turned my heel and walked out the door. Once I came out of that forsaken room, their faces full of anger and sympathy welcomed me.

I just lowered my head down and led them out the house.

Loud music blasted out as we opened yet another door, this time, leading us outside.

Halfway through the lawn, where the party was being held, we were stopped.

A hand grabbed mine. I shook it off and turned to face whoever the hell it was.

I came face to face with the my now 'most-hated person in the whole damn universe.'

"What?" I asked with no emotions showing on my face.

"Let's talk. About us." Jiro said. What an ass!

"What 'US'? There's no more 'US'. Matagal nang wala. Umasa lang ako." Sabi ko. Lahat ng sinasabi ko ngayon, pati ako nasasaktan. Probably, I'm the only one hurting. I don't think he even really cares.

"No baby. Pag-usapan naman natin 'to oh. We can still fix this." Pagmamakaawa niya.

"No. DO NOT CALL ME BABY. NEVER AGAIN." Sabi ko. We're now gathering crowd. And Aira, that bitch now stands behind him. Smirking. Well, hindi ako magpapatalo. How ironic. I never wanted attention. But now? I think it's well deserved.

"Please. Mag-usap tayo. Ayusin natin 'to."

"No Jiro. You can't fix broken glass using glue sticks. We're through." Sagot ko nanaman.

"I love you Denise. Please don't leave me." Pagmamaka-awa niya.

I scoffed and laughed a bitter laugh.

"Love? I don't think so. Nagawa mo ngang pagtaksilan ako, tsaka mo sasabihin saking mahal mo ako? You know what Jiro? That's the worst! You said you love me and I said it too. The only difference was, I didn't lie to you. Here's another one. Hurt me with a the truth, but never comfort me with a lie. " Every single word dripped with venom.

"No Denise, I wasn't lying. Please, listen to me."

I ignored him and focused my glares to Aira.

"Happy? You got all you wanted. Ngayon alam ko na. You only stuck with me so you could worm your way to him. Well, congratulations. He's all yours." Sabi ko sa kanya.

"And oh yeah, I almost forgot. Weren't you complaining the other day about you being pregnant with a guy's baby? Is that his? Or is it another man's?" I smirked evilly.

"YOU LYING BITCH!" She yelled, ready to slap me. But I caught her hand.

"Nuh-uh. I don't think so. YOU'RE THE LYING BITCH, NOT ME. Oh, actually, let me rephrase that. YOU'RE THE LYING FILTHY WHORE."

 Tumalikod nanaman ako sa kanila at naglakad papalayo. When I knew I've put a bit of a distance between all of us, I turned around to face them once again.

"This is it. We're over. And this'll be the last time you'll ever see this face again. I won't cry for you, my mascara's too expensive. Enjoy your whore, you stupid manwhore. And oh yeah, I HOPE YOU CATCH STDs!" I said with fake humor.

And with all that, I walked away. For good. But I could still sense my friends' presence behind me.

"Good job Denise. Good job." Bulong nila sa akin.

"Thanks."

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

"Sige lang Nise, iiyak mo lang yan." Sabi sa akin ni Lauren. Kanina pa nila ako kino-comfort.

I know I said I wouldn't cry for him. I even said my mascara was too expensive for him. Well, I already removed my mascara off my eyes so I could cry however much I want.

It's still painful. Super painful. Have you ever felt so betrayed in your life? Have you ever felt that heart-crushing feeling? Well, this would be my second time feeling it. Damn. Why is my life so fucked up? Have I done something so bad to ever even deserve this?

Stupidity. Stupidity led me to my downfall. 

What is stupidity?

Knowing the truth, seeing the truth, but still believe in the lie.

After a long while, kinausap na nila ako.

"Okay ka na?" Keira.

"Feeling better?" Kiara.

"Damn. Parehas lang yun ah." Sabi naman ni Zoey. The twins gave her a fake glare.

Napa-iling naman si Lauren sa kabaliwan nitong mga 'to. These are what I call my 'TRUE FRIENDS'.

I took a deep breath and released it after.

"I'm not even mad anymore. I'm just going to learn to expect the lowest out of the people I thought the highest of." I said.

"Not us. You know you could always count on us. Always." Sabi ni Lauren.
