Its been two days since we held captive of Nica. Laura brought her to my sister's place, which is kinda terrifying for me because the last time I went there gave me goosebumps, but the first time? I couldn't sleep well for days, but I'm used to it now considering how many times I went there already. Nica has been cooperative since then, answering when asked, doing what she was told and I'm getting suspicious or is it just me? I don't know if I'm naturally paranoid or just instincts. I don't know what happened to ate Nash but she's like that, she likes being hurt. I think she's immune or something.
"Girls, get ready," I heard Karla said. We're in a studio, for an interview and we are currently in the backstage. "Shy, is your voice okay?"
I cleared my throat and did a few vocalization, "I guess its okay, Kar," I smiled. She asked Rae and Chlis, too, and the girls' were fine as well. "Is my hair okay?" Rae asked me. I looked at her from head to toe before answering, "Its fine, you look pretty," I answered honestly. "How 'bout me? How's my outfit?" Kar asked, "You look elegant, Kar," I stated after I looked at her.
"The three of you looks perfect and gorgeous, don't worry," biglang pagsasalita ni Chlis. Bago pa kami makapagsalita ay tinawag na kami ng host.
"Give it up for our guests! Beauvémeux!" And that's our cue, we walked up to the center stage, waved hello to the audiences and sat down. "Wow girls, day by day, the four of you just keep on glowing and glowing, getting more beautiful each day," the host complimented us, "Aw thank you!" Rae responded gleefully. We were invited to be interviewed on this show, and since we're doing nothing as of now, we accepted the invite. We have no reason to decline anyway and our manager said that the show is pretty good and the staff are all nice. "Why don't you guys introduce yourselves first?" 
"Hi, I'm Reasse," Rae said it first while looking at the camera of course, "I'm Karla," she said and waved, "The prettiest, Chlisté," Chlis said and made a cute face, "And I'm the hottest, Shyrvielle," sabay kindat, 'di ako magpapatalo 'no. "These two are unfair, me and Rea should introduce ourselves again," Karla said playfully na nagpatawa naman sa'ming lahat. "Go on then," sabi ng host, "That's great," Kar said and fixed herself, "The cutest baddie, Karla," with hair flip pa 'yan ah, "The most gorgeous, Reasse," Rae said with her greatest smile that a lot of people love, and I'm one of those people. 
The interview continued as time passed by, until the host asked us to perform one of our songs. We wouldn't back out of course, "What do you want us to sing?" Chlis asked the audience, they shouted the title of our most famous song, "I Have Questions!" I chuckled, "Alright, we'll do it!" we stood up, the staff gave us our mics. "Everyone, the hottest girl group, Beauvémeux!" the host shouted, the melody started then Chlis started the song. 
While we were singing, I could hear the crowd singing along with us. Some were even screaming our names, our group name. Its noisy. Noisy but relaxing. Noisy crowd and surrounding has always been relaxing for me, noisiness reminds me of people, reminds me that I'm not alone, reminds me that I'm not the only one who makes noise to conceal the sorrow beneath my mask. The crowd just sang along until the end of the song.
I sang the last line. I don't know what happened, but it sounded more emotional than it already is. The crowd went standing ovation after our performance. I usually feel overwhelmed but right now is an exception, something's missing. Its like, someone should be listening to this song, a special someone. I disregarded what I was feeling and focused on what was happening. This feeling is new yet so familiar, like this song should only be heard by one person, because this song is dedicated to them. But who?
"Wow! What a spectacular performance!" the host complimented us. Ngayon ko lang napansin, 'di ko pa din alam ang pangalan ng host na 'to, jusko naman Shy. "And Shy, that last line, I noticed that you sang it with more emotions than you usually do during live performances with this song," oh, he noticed it, too? "She actually wrote that song," Chlis revealed, "Really? Wow, just wow. Are you heartbroken?" the host asked, "No, I'm not ready for commitments," I answered while shaking my head no, "Shy is emotional these days, yesterday, she called me while I was sleeping," Rae started storytelling, "As soon as I answered the call, I immediately heard her sobbing and then she said "Rae, I'm hungry"," she added, everyone started laughing while I was embarrassed but its fine, its not big of a deal for me. "What did you say to her?" Karla asked, the host was just listening, "I literally shouted "What the hell Shyrvielle!" and she just continued sobbing, she just kept crying, she can order by herself but the problem was she didn't know what to get so I told her to just buy anything she wanted. After I said that, she stopped sobbing and did a happy scream and thanked me before ending the call," she finished with a sarcastic smile plastered on her face. The audience just laughed, "When the four of you are all together, is there a situation like this?" the host asked.
"Always."
"Every time."
"She's dramatic as eff."
Sabay sabay nilang sambit, "I was just sad you know!" I defended myself while laughing, "What makes you sad?" tanong ulit ng host, "Its either when I have nothing to eat, I have too many choices what to eat, or too lonely to eat," napatawa naman ako sa sarili kong sinabi, "If you ask her personal questions or ask her how her day was, food is always involved. Always," Karla firmly said, "She's a big eater," Chlis added. "I guess you guys always run out of food?"
"Yes! Our groceries that'll last for two weeks for four average people only lasts for two to three days if you're living with this food monster here," sabi ni Rae na masyadong exaggerated, "That's true, we always run out of snacks, but its fine with us because she's the one that usually cooks and when she's bored, she does baking and that's why we don't complain anymore, but when we're eating together, she eats twice of what we eat," Chlis added. "If you're a big eater, how do you stay fit?" 
"I have a really good metabolism and my body has always been like this, I think that's why. I don't exercise much, but I always do swimming," I answered. "Yeah, she's really sexy and always staying fit even though she's always eating," Chlisté intervened. That's true though. They may say that I'm "perfect" but no, I have insecurities, too. I envy those people who has freedom. Freedom of everything. Free from everything. I've always craved for freedom.
The host interviewed us for a few more minutes before he said it was time. We bid our goodbyes to the crowd, to the camera and to the host. We're not yet allowed to leave because there'll be a meet and greet later so we planned to just stay at our dressing room. "Aziel's kinda hot, I admit," sambit ni Rae pagkapasok namin sa dressing room. Harot nitong babaeng 'to. "True, but not my type," Chlis replied, "He's average," sabi naman ni Kar, "That's because you're in a relationship," Rae and Chlis said in unison. 'Di ko na lang sila pinansin at dumiretso lang sa upuan at sumalampak, "How 'bout you Shy?" napalingon naman ako, "He's fine, a six I suppose," sagot ko na halatang walang gana.
"You okay sweetie?" Kar asked, "Yes," I answered, still with a bored tone. "What happened back there?" 
"Nothing," same tone. "C'mon Shy," Chlis pushed, "I'll tell you later at home, okay?" I compromised, "We're not staying there later, you know," paalala ni Kar, "Oh, right. I'll tell you soon I guess," they gave in and didn't ask me anymore. Nahalata ata nilang wala talaga akong gana ngayon. 'Di ko nga din alam kung bakit ba ganito. Siguro nadala lang.
I'm missing something or someone, I don't know what this is or the meaning of this.
Brown eyes. Pinkish lips. Chubby cheeks. Thin eyebrows. Medium-length hair.
Am I missing a person? Who am I missing? Why am I missing her? Why is it a girl? I'm not gay, or am I? I can't say that I've never been interested in girls because I had girl crushes before but is that enough? Hinahangaan ko lang naman sila.
"Shy? You okay?" I got startled when someone spoke in front of me. It was Rae, "Yeah, I'm okay. I guess?" I answered, obviously clueless about what's happening to myself. "You look like you're not," sabi ni Chlis. "I agree," pagsang-ayon ni Karla. "Okay, I admit I'm not feeling well," I started, "But I don't have any wounds or anything physical, I'm not tired either," I added before they could even speak. "I don't know what's happening to me either so don't even ask," I sighed. Hindi na sila sumagot bagkus ay tumango na lang at ipinagpatuloy ang kanilang ginagawa bago nila ako tanungin.
There I sat on the chair, staring aimlessly.
"Pangako mo ah, 'di ka aalis," sabi ko sa kaniya, "Oo naman mahal, pangako ko sa'yo 'yan," sagot niya bago halikan ang noo ko, so sweet.
Huh? What was that?
"Mahal na mahal kita," sambit niya out of the blue, "Mahal na mahal din kita mahal," sagot ko. Napangiti naman siya, napakacontagious ng  ngiti niya kaya napangiti din ako. Magkatinginan lang kami hanggang sa matawa kaming dalawa, "Baliw ka talaga," sabi niya tsaka ginulo buhok ko "Mas baliw ka," asar ko bago siya halikan at tumakbo palayo. "Ah gusto mong maglaro ha," rinig 'kong sabi niya bago siya tumakbo para habulin ako.
A couple being lovey dovey by the seaside. The scene looks and feels familiar. 
More scenes came flashing into my mind until I got overwhelmed.
"Shy!" the last voice I heard before I felt my body hit something hard and everything went black.
