Von was shocked seeing blood after his eyes have freshly awakened from a sleep. He wondered why his zipper was damaged. His eyebrows seem to collide as his skin absorbs the coldness of the floor where he is lying. He then looked up and saw the ceiling, turned his head and surprisingly saw a girl beside him.
Insane thoughts wandered on his mind as he tried to remember what happened the night before that morning. Anger made his face look bad for he can’t remember a thing. So guilty of the things he might have done, he closed his eyes and felt like knife stabbed his heart, tears would like to flow from his eyes but his strong preventive feeling stops it. He felt something unusual. He was so dizzy. Suddenly a very short memory was registered. He was so dizzy that night, took pictures with his buds while liquor intrudes his throat then he entered a house and “cut”, the next scenes couldn’t be retrieved by the temporal lobe of his brain.
Von stood up. He sat on a sofa and recollected. “God, help me, bless my past that temptation did not shook my body and soul last night.”
Someone opened the door and entered, it was Kristine, a friend of him. “Ohhh, good that you are awake, are you okay now?” she asked.
“Okay? What am I doing here with this girl? Why is she beside me?” Von replied with all questions, “What have I done last night?”
“Huh? I don’t know how she came there, wake her up.” said Kristine.
“No! I won’t!” he grinned his teeth, fixed his self and walked outside the house taking his way home.
It is a fact that Von haven’t remembered anything that happed after he entered that house, but his friends have their memories and most of all videos of what have occurred in that playful evening.
It was the night before Lorraine’s debut, Von’s very best friend.
“Happy Birthday Bhe’zt!” he wrapped his hand on her body and tenderly kissed her never been invaded cheeks.
“Thanks for coming Best.” The birthday girl replied. Her face seems to blush then her mind spoke to herself, “Why are you like this? Stop it Lorraine! You already have your boyfriend-Khen.”
Von let go of her and joined the party, his face and movements show joy, but behind that was the tearing and bleeding of his heart because of jealousy.
The music started to beat and Von was the first to kneel and gave a rose to her, they danced, that moment for the both of them seem to be in a slow motion, feeling the electrifying effect of touching each other’s hand and body. Normal things just happened in the following seventeen men and roses that came including her boyfriend, it’s just like nothing, and no intense feeling was felt.
Hours later Von agonized seeing his secretly loved best friend is with her boyfriend, he has nothing to do but to accept it. He wanted to escape in that sorrow so he drank alcohol with Kristine.
She’s also a friend of Lorraine who happens to have a sealed feeling towards Von. She’s a good friend, always there whenever you need her, she’s always there for the boy, but sad to say that Von have not felt the existence of her love.
The two people were on the same boat, both of them were suffering because of hidden affections and resentments. Time came that they’ve drank to the highest level, they are doing their poses while their friends make fun of them, they were capturing pictures and some were recording videos. Von spoke things that no one has ever heard; every word that came from his mouth was onomatopoetic.
“Von! I love you!” Kristine shouted. Everyone in that place heard the things that came out of her mouth, all eyes were on her, and then she suddenly added “Joke! I will not fall for this monkey!”
They laughed and continued on what they were doing. Von did not mind those words; instead he roamed around, still holding a bottle of liquor. As hours passed by the number of people diminished until reaching the time that the only people left were Lorraine, Von, Kristine and a few friends.
“Hey Best, are you okay?” she made herself closer to him and tried to assist him standing.
“Okay? Huh? Look at me! Does this face look okay for you? You go there with him!” he doesn’t know what he’s talking about because he’s drunk, then he suddenly hugged her.
The girl didn’t reject his arms, and then she wondered of what he’s talking, she asked, “What do you mean? Go with whom?”
“Khen. Go with him, he’s the one you love!” Von let go of her, “Good bye! It’s better for me to get out of here than see you!” He walked and stumbled down for he can’t control his balance.
His best friend again assisted him to stand, this time she hold him tightly, weight is not a problem in carrying for Von is just as light as a feather. They went inside the house and then she remembered the words Von said lately, she felt a heart ache and then she let him sit on the couch, “Von? Don’t be like that.”
“So what do you want me to do? Shut my mouth? I can’t take it anymore. We’ve been together for so long, haven’t you noticed something with me?” he asked. Like a river, tears flowed rapidly from his eyes. Thing like this happen rarely for a boy to cry in front of a girl, only liquors could show the emotions behind. He’s like a baby crying for something that was lost, then shocking words was omitted, “Lorraine, I have feelings for you.”
That very moment spanked Lorraine’s consciousness. Time stopped. Then she wiped his tears with her hands. Hugged him and said “And so am I, why did it took you so long to say this to me?”
Von was so quiet and nothing went out of his mouth.
“Von! Why? Why didn’t you tell me immediately?”
“Do I still need words to tell you that I love you? Weren’t my actions obvious? “He asked.
Lorraine was lost for words. What Von have said made a paralyzing effect.
Their moment was disturbed. Their friends came carrying Kristine, another drunk, so Lorraine opened a room. Kristine was laid in a bed and her eyes were so closed for she’s already asleep.
Lorraine forgot her best friend outside the room. Everyone was already asleep so she sneaked out to see him. Still, tears ran from his eyes, still miserable as she saw him sitting on the floor.
“Why are you still crying.” she came closer and made him stand.
“I’m not crying” he answered.
“Then what are you doing?”
“I don’t know, maybe it’s just natural for it’s a response of my emotional state, it’s just a complex secretomotor phenomenon characterized by the shedding of a liquid from the lacrimal apparatus, without irritating the ocular structures of my eyes.” Von explained.
He lost no time and grabbed her. Electrifying effects were made by the juxtaposition of their orbicularis oris muscles in a state of contraction, over and over each other, feeling the soft, tender and juicy taste. They kissed each other without such neglect, without rejection, it was filled with pure affection.
“This must not happen! This is so wrong.” these thoughts entered her mind while she’s still in that moment, so scared to lose that opportunity, so afraid for love to fade and so she carried on. “I can’t take this, he’s drunk and maybe this is meaningless, I can’t.” She continued on wondering as her lips mingle with his. “Maybe this is not so bad; I’ll be over this in a minute.”
Later, she got out of the tight temptation that tied and turned her on; she inhaled deeply and got her breathing back into normal. She closed her eyes and touched her forehead making a grip on her hair. She felt a mixture of sadness and joy because of that happening.
“Best? Can you help me? I can’t stand straight” asked Von.
“Help you what?”
“I wanna pee, I can’t take it for so long.” he requested, and so he was helped.
The girl again walked with him towards the comfort room, while entering she asked if she would stay there as he do the thing he wants to do, she was just concerned of him, maybe he would lose his balance and eat the floor. The man said no so she got her arms away. Von swayed and tends to fall so she holds him again.
“I won’t leave you! I will just turn my back okay?” She was so worried.
He opened his zipper forcefully and it was damaged, then he continued doing the thing.
“Are you finished?” she asked.
He replied a Yes so Lorraine turned her back. She was shocked… then… (SENSORED)
Now, she was outside the comfort room, waiting for him, in a second…
Booooog! Von collapsed, accidentally took a grip and broke the hanging mirror, he rolled on those broken pieces of glass and so he committed some small cut on his arms. His best friend immediately went inside and helped him.
They went back and sat on the floor. She made a first aid and removed the small glass particles on Von’s arms. It no big deal, those wounds were very small.
“Lorraine? Are you leaving me?” he looked straight to her eyes and so was she.
“No, I won’t, do you want me to leave Khen?” she aked.
“No, don’t leave him. I’m happy for you and I know that you have somewhat loved him so deal with it, just don’t mind me, I’ll be fine.” Again, Von’s tears flowed, it might be against his will but it’s for the better. “But can you promise me one thing? Please don’t leave me. That’s the only thing I want to request.”
“I promise.” she assured him, touched his hand and kissed him again.
“Don’t leave me.” Those were his last words for that night; he fell asleep on the floor and never moved.
Lorraine put a blanket on the floor and tried to push and roll him towards it. She then put two pillows, one for him and one for her; she slept with him that night to start fulfilling her promise not to leave him.
Morning came and Von woke up and went back to their home immediately, still there were no memories registered on his mind. The following days were just normal as if nothing happened, no things mentioned about Lorraine’s birthday. She and Von just went back together as best friends, enjoyed life as teen agers. Things happened that night was made as treasures that keep on playing again and again on her mind.
Lorraine smiles every time she sees him for the full memories of that night were kept with her, on the other hand, for Von that was the most memorable experience he couldn’t remember.
I don't like this.
