Giselle's

"....Okay, thank you so much po. But- uhm. Can I have a favor?"
"Sure, Miss Giselle. What is it?"
"Can you not tell them later about the contract? I mean, I want to surprise them."
"Oh, I see. No problem, Miss Giselle. See you later!"

I woke up early with my phone's ringing. Mr. Santos, one of the heads of Star Records called me saying they already fixed B.A.D's contract and kukuhain na nila yung banda to become their artist. I don't know what changed their mind after nilang kausapin si Winter. Or maybe Winter told something sa kanila kaya..

And yea, I told them not to say anything about the contract because I want to surprise them with that. 

I took my phone to check the time and lumabas ng room ni Winter, 6:30 in the morning. 

I can't go back to sleep na, so I decided na magluto na lang for breakfast para magising ng maaga ang mga kumag. Because we have afternoon call time at Star Records.

Dumerecho ako ng fridge to look what's for breakfast. Kinuha ko ang bacon, hotdogs and one box ng milk for french toast. Kinuha ko na rin yung tray ng eggs and bread and the cinnamon powder. 

I was mixing the ingredients for french toast when I heard someone na pababa sa stairs. 

"Why so early naman gumising, Uchi? Wala naman tayong class?" sabi ni Ning na nagkukusot pa ng eyes niya papalapit sakin dito sa kitchen. Napangiti ako, cute.

"Hmm I can't go back to sleep na eh. Star Records called me early in the morning."

"Oh? Anong sabi?"
"I'll tell you later kapag gising na din sila."

"Okay, Boss G. Let me help you dyan.."
"Boss G ka dyan. Sure, come here."

She's making the french toast for everyone, ako naman dito sa Bacon, Hotdogs and Eggs. Frying lang naman. So, its easy. 

"Aeri?" 
"Hmm?"

"How's Winter na pala? Okay na ba siya?" ah- yea. Oo nga pala.
"Hmm.. yea, she said she is. But her dreams are coming back eh. I can't help but to worry. I think her PTSD is coming back and we cannot help that."

Something happened last night kasi, more like in the midnight. Buti lagi kong nasasaktuhan. Thank God for that. I was about to go back sa room ko after I pee, when I heard Winter screaming. Her room is at the end of the hallway dito sa third floor, nasa gitna naman yung room ko then sa kabilang end ng hallway ang kay Ning. Nasa 2nd floor naman yung tatlo. Her room was supposed to be my room, but then I gave it to her since its more maluwag. That's for her PTSD and anxieties sake.

Winter was screaming and crying. Thank god, hindi nakalock not like the last time. Sobrang taranta ako to get the duplicate keys. This time she leaves it unlocked. I ran to her room and saw her crying in her sleep. I woke her up, gently. 

'Skie.. wake up.. you're dreaming..' 

'Skie.. shh I'm here..'

I am so worried na baka bumalik yung dating Winter. Yung Winter na parang wala ng buhay. She doesn't have this emotions. Like literally cold. Her eyes looks so cold, just like her name. Then, warmth. It came back, she's smiling again when we started living together. That was when after Tita Belle, her mom died and she's free na to get out of their house. I know Winter, she's not really expressive. Magaling magtago but not to me. I know her since when were kids. 

Winter is my childhood bestfriend if you're not gonna ask. Of course, I was the first one to approach her that time. I remember she's not talking pa nun and she looks scared. But I did told her na I'm not nangangagat dun siya natawa because I don't look like one daw because I was tiny. Tch. This , the audacity? Eh mas maliit pa siya sakin nun? I don't know how did she grow like this. I was way taller than her back then. 

Okay, back to it. I feel like its coming back again. Pero wag naman sana. I just want Skie to be happy, like genuinely happy just like right now. She looks so happy with Karina. I just hope Karina won't hurt her. 

I was thinking last night pa, what if we try na bumalik sa psych to get her check again? Right? She has meds pa naman since sabi ng doctors that's for her panic attacks. 

"Aeri!"
"Uchi! Yung hotdogs!!"

H-Ha??

! I am cooking nga pala.

"Ouch! !" I hissed. Tangina, natalsikan lang naman ako ng oil and nahawakan ko yung pan ng walang pot holder.

"Aeri! Ohmy! Sandali." I saw her na pinatay yung stove bago lumapit sakin.

She pulled me papunta sa may sink and she held my hand at itinutok sa running water. I can't think straight. 

"What are you thinking ba kasi? Ayan tuloy napaso ka!"

I can't even think straight, Ning! Lalo na you're holding my hand, ano ba?

But- what am I thinking nga ba?

Oh, crap. Skie naman eh! 

I don't know but- my eyes sets on her after I looked at our hands na nasa running water. 

She's so beautiful.

Face frowning.

Her eyes, it worries.

Messy bun hair, it looks y.

Cheeks, fluffy.

Lips, pink lips that are so kissable.

Her neck with some of her messy hair, I-<
