Caleb brought me to their jamming place. Sa kwarto ng kabanda nilang si Kerky.

"Mga bok! Papakilala ko na sa inyo yung guardian angel natin... Charaaaaaaaann!" Caleb presented me to the band. "Mga bok, meet the girl who can't be moved- aka Ian. Ian, meet the guys. The guy with the Mohawk is our guitarist - Kerky. Lex plays the keyboard, the drums and composes most of our songs. Calen is my twin brother, he plays bass. And Nathan- though he;s not here used to be our lead guitar – but he's a doctor now."




"Hi, Ian!" They chorused.




"Hi, Pastels. Nice to meet all of you." I said a little shy.




"Uhmm... Kerky, baka matunaw. Yari tayo sa Neon pag nagkataon." Caleb said.




"Huh?" I asked in confusion.




"May tama kasi yan sayo." Caleb explained.




"Talaga?" I blushed. 




"Hindi kaya! Wala naman!" tanggi nito.Napakamot pa ng ulo si Kerky, halatang namumula ang mga pisngi. 




"Uhmm... Tara. Let's go shopping." I told them.




"Shopping?" They asked in unison.




"Yeah. I'm your stylist now. First project ko with you guys is on Monday- your audition with Revert Records' big bosses. You have to dress as well as you play. So, tara na?"




"Let's go!" Caleb cheered.

ROBI's

Ian's been busy with The Pastels. Ever since they got signed up, she's the one taking care of them. Rika said that it's just temporary since they haven't found a road manager for them yet. Sabi ko nga si Jenny na lang yung gawin nilang road manager, Rika almost said yes, kaya lang ayaw naman ni Trey. I guess Jenny is doing a good job on taking care of Trey. Nauuso na naman yung unfixed tie dahil kay James. Wala kasi si Ian para ayusin yung tie nya. Lagi lang nya pinapadala yung damit namin along with pictures of how our outfit should look like. Minsan nga naiisip ko na wag suotin yung mga damit na pinapadala nya. Baka sakaling maisipan nya na bisitahin kami. Baka sakaling pagalitan nya ko. Mas okay yun, kesa naman sa hindi ko sya nakikita or hindi nya ko kinakausap. I miss her so badly. 

Lately, lumalabas sa balita na she's always seen with the drummer dude from The Pastels. Lagi daw sila nakikita sa mga coffee shop late at night. One time, they were spotted on a swing in some random park, and it scared me. I was scared of the possibility that she's okay now because of another person other than me. Mas gwapo naman ako dun. Ano bang pinagmamalaki nya? Yung shark head nya? Bagay din naman sakin magpa-mohawk ah. Sigurado naman akong mas magaling pa ko mag-drums kesa sa kanya. She can't fall in love with someone else. I don't want her to be in love with anyone else but me. Gusto ko ako lang yung mahal nya. 

"Robi! Tulala ka na naman!" James yelled.

"Lumilipad ang puso at utak sa SM Megamall." Ali commented.

"SM Megamall?" Zach asked.

"Dun kasi yung mall show ngayon ng The Pastels. Meaning, nandun din si Ian." Anton whispered to Zach.

"Aaaahhh... okay."

"Tara. Punta tayo dun." I suggested.

"Ops! Hindi tayo pwede pumunta dun. Sabi ng asawa ko hindi muna tayo pwede pagsamahin ng Pastels. Kasi nga ineexpose pa lang sila. Pag pinagsama tayo, baka maiwan sila. Pwede ba, wag nyo na pasakitin yung ulo ng asawa ko- lalo na ngayong magiging kuya na si Bonbon." Anton said.

"Ano?!" Zach, James, Ali, and I exclaimed.

"Ang tindi mo Anton. Naka-hole in one ka na naman. Kailangan na namin bilisan ni Rapah. Mahirap nang mahuli." Ali said.

"Anung pinagsasasabi mong bilisan? Baka gusto mong hindi na magkaanak. Bata pa si Rapah." James being protective again.

"Dude, kasal na si Ali and Rapah, kaya what happens in their bedroom, wala ka ng magagawa dun. Kaya, kung ako sayo, bilisan mo na lang din bago ka maunahan ng baby sister mo." Zach whispered.

Buti pa 'tong mga ugok na 'to. Nakakapag-usap tungkol sa pag-buo ng pamilya. Ako, hindi ko kaya bumuo ng pamilya kung hindi si Ian ang kasama ko. I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone than spend it with anyone else. Nagtatalo pa din sila when I left the room. I couldn't stay there for another second. I have to see her. I have to see my Ian.

Still Robi's

I went to The Pastels mall show. Huge crowd. They'll definitely make it big. I watched them from afar. When their final song ended they called Ian out to the stage and introduced her to the crowd. Of course the crowd cheered. Some guys were even holding up a banner with her name on it. 

"Wow. Even after a year of being MIA, gusto pa rin sya ng tao."

I turned to see who was speaking. It was Diego- a soulless showbiz reporter. 

"Do you think she'll still be this famous kung lumabas sa news yung nangyari noon?" He hissed.

"I already gave you what you asked for. Sumunod ka sa usapan." I said.

"I'm a man of my word. Besides, nasayo na lahat ng ebidensya. Wala akong tinira katulad ng pinag-usapan natin." 

"Siguraduhin mo lang. Dahil wala akong pakialam kung sirain mo ko, basta sisirain ko yang muka mo pati buhay mo oras na galawin mo si Ian."

"Don't worry. I won't. Naisip ko lang na masaya pala paglaruan yung mga sikat na katulad nyo. It makes me love my job even more."

"I'm warning you." I turned to him and grabbed his collar. "Masaktan mo lang kahit dulo ng daliri ni Ian, o kahit kumirot lang ng konti yung puso nya dahil sayo, mapapatay kita."

"You should kill yourself then. Tutal ikaw naman yung dahilan kung bakit sya nagwala sa Barcelona at sa Germany. Ooops... That slipped out. Anyway... I have to go. So much to gossip, so little time. See you around, Robi." He walked away.

I thought I've already took care of that issue. Bakit bumabalik ulit? I have to do something. Iiyak na naman si Ian pag nalaman nyo yung tungkol dun, and I don't want that to happen. I can't allow that to happen.
