"Good morning sleepyhead!" Damn it! Who the f!
"Lizzie, gising na!"
"Ugh.. Amber?" I mumbled, trying to open my eyes, the sunlight blinded me.
"Wakey- wakey!"
I rubbed my eyes. "Could you please close the blinds?"
"Hey guys... I didn't say that you have to come early." I said as I fixed my bed.
"Namiss ka namin e.. bakit ba?" Ruby said.
"Wait here, enjoy the free Wifi muna." I said and went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, took a bath, and change my clothes in my closet.
"Come on, let's have breakfast downstairs." I was hungry.
Oatmeal with fruits for breakfast. Mom and dad went out early. Kuya Ethan is still asleep.
"So what now?" Amber broke the silence.
"What?" I asked.
"Anong nangyari doon?" Emerald asked.
"Bakit bigla kayong umuwi?" Ruby asked next.
"Well, I was acting like a wild child, so.. they took me home." I answered.
"What do you mean? Anong pinaggagagawa mo doon?" Amber suspiciously asked.
"Well.. I.. I.." Damn it, why am I stuttering?
"Hala, anong mga kalokohan mo?" Emerald added.
"Wag kang magsisinungaling. Kilala ka namin. At pwede ba? Wag kang english ng english. Nakakanosebleed accent mo. Parang di ka Pilipino." Ruby impatiently said.
I took a deep breath. "Ok. So.. yun.. naaksidente ako dun.." I could see their shocked faces.
"Ano?? Paano? Anyare?" Emerald asked.
"Nagdrive ako na... lasing.." I knew they would get angry.
"Ba't di mo sinabi sa amin?" Ruby was angry, I know.
"Sorry na.. ginawa ko lang naman 'yon kasi-" Amber cut me out.
"Kasi iniwan ka niya? Kasi nasaktan ka? Yun ba Liz?!! Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas, ano ka ba!"
I already lost my appetite. I'm already crying at this point. "Oo na.. yun yung dahilan, yun yung dahilan kung bakit di ako nagpakatino doon.. Nanigarilyo pa nga ako ng marijuana minsan. Pero sorry.. sorry.." and I ran upstairs. Never naging bad influence ang barkada ko kaya big deal sa kanila ang mga bisyo.
I was the perfect daughter, friend, student, girlfriend until one day, I was no longer a girlfriend then my role in everyone's lives changed.
*tok tok totoktok*
The door opened.
"Liz?" I wiped my tears and sat straight.
My best friends came in.
"I'm sorry I said that. I know it's a very sensitive topic. Just don't do those things again, ok?" Then she hugged me.
"Group hug?" Emerald and Ruby joined too.
When we've finally cooled down, Emerald spoke.
"So kung nadisgrasya ka, ba't ang ganda mo pa rin? Ba't wala kang sugat o peklat? Nagparetoke ka noh?"
"I had some stitches on my arms and legs. I just I took topical medications for the scars, they faded a bit but they're still there. I did have to recover from a concussion for 2 weeks."
"Oh my... And you hid all of these from us."
"I'm sorry I shut you guys out. I thought maybe if I leave and forget everything from the past, it'll help me move on easier and faster."
My best friends understood, they always do. And I love them for that.
We chatted about other things for the whole day. We had a lot of catching up to do.

"Oo nga pala, muntik ko ng makalimutan... pasalubong namin?" Typical Amber.
"Here. Chocolates. Clothes. Shoes. Lotions. Shampoos. Bath gels. Go ahead and choose." I said as I took out the boxes which contains these things.
Amber first took the chocolate.
"Amber, control your cravings." I warned her.
Emerald took some lotions and bath gels.
"Those are great for sensitive skin." I recommended her.
Ruby took some dresses and shoes.
"That dress looks good on you. But a warning, those heels hurt. A lot."
Ruby shrugged.
Then after a day of shenanigans and catching up, they bid goodbye. I missed having them around.
