I sat at the bar while I saw them arranging the set.

I got myself a tasty looking drink prepared by the bartender. It is new on the menu with a shade of royal blue.

"Ang sosyal naman nito. Mukhang premium." I commended the bartender and see him smiling at me. After taking a good picture for a souvenir I smelled it before putting the glass on my lips. It smells good. Unfortunately before I could drink it, Travis drank it all for me that left me dumbfounded.

The heck!?

Kung titingnan akala mo tubig lang iyon para sa kanya. Kokota na siya sa akin, nang aasar na naman ba siya?

He smirks at me and hands the bartender some cash. "Don't give her anything hard. Kapag sinuhulan ka ng babaeng 'to, ipapatanggal kita sa trabaho." The bartender humbly oblidged as he makes me a other drink.

"Agaw trip ka." mahina kong singhal sa kanya.

"I don't want to carry a drunk woman after tonight." taas kilay niyang lait sa akin.

I puffed my face, seeing him shaking his head at me and as soon as I saw him getting back on stage, I roll my eyes at him.

Pangit ni Hayes!

Malait ko nga siya para makaganti lang.

Akala niya ah, solid Radcliffe fan ito! Nagmamagaling lang talaga ang isang Travis Hayes.

Inabutan ako ng bartender ng juice dahil iyon lang daw ang pwede niyang iabot sa akin na kamukha ng sinerve niya sa akin kanina.

Napatingin ako kay Travis at nakitang nakangisi siya sa direksyon ko. Binelatan ko siya. Dakilang epal talaga siya ng buhay ko!

Ito ba ang inutos niya sa bartender? Juice? Ano ako bata? Ni softdrink wala? Root beer? He's unbelievable!

Kinawayan ako ni Gerard kung nasaan ako, kaya kinawayan ko rin siya pabalik. Nang nakita kong nagpapansin din sila Joshua at Pierre sa akin, hindi ko mapigilan na irapan sila. Bahala nga sila diyan!

Nagsimula na silang tumugtog at ininom ko yung juice ko gamit ng straw. Inalis ko yung maliit na payong sa baso ko at nang narinig ko ang boses ni Travis agad akong lumingon na makitang nasa kanya yung spotlight.

He's playing his guitar while he's eyes are closed. The music plays Disenchanted by My Chemical Romance. The song itself plays for him. I don't know why I said that because it feels like he is singing this song for himself.

[I hate the ending myself
But it started with an alright scene...

It was the roar of the crowdThat gave me heartache to singIt was a lie when they smiledAnd said, you won't feel a thing
