Nang araw na iyon ay tumawag na si Ashlee na kukunin nya na si Bronx kaya naman tinulungan namin syang ayusin na ang mga gamit nya. Sinabihan kasi ni Pete si Ashlee na magsisimula na ang Europe tour nila.

Wala pang ilang oras ay dumating na din si Ashlee kasama ang fiancé nito.

  "Mom!"
Sinalubong ni Bronx ang mommy nito. Halatang namiss nito ang isa't-isa.

  "Honey!"
Niyakap ni Ashlee ang anak. Nakatingin lang naman kami sa kanila. Naghiwalay din naman ang nga ito at humarap sa amin.

  "Say goodbye to your Dad, Bronx."
Sabi ni Ashlee sa anak. Yumakap ang bata kay Pete.

  "Goodbye dad. I'm gonna miss ya."
Sabi nito.

  "Me too Bronx."
Sabi ni Pete.

  "I love you dad."

  "I love you more son."
Sabi ni Pete sa bata. Matagal ding nagyakapan ang dalawa, at naghiwalay din.

  "How about your uncles?"
Sabi ni Ashlee, yumakap din si Bronx kila Patrick, Joe at Andy.

  "I miss you guys."
Sabi ng bata.

  "We'll gonna miss you too kiddo."
Sabi ng mga ito.
Pagkatapos sa mga ito ay sa akin naman sya lumapit.

  "Bye Ayesha."
Sabi nito, lumuhod ako para yakapin sya.

  "Bye Bronx. I'm gonna miss you so much."
Sabi ko.

  "Me too Ayesha."
Sabi nito. Naghiwalay na kami, sumakay na ito sa kotse. Nagpasalamat sa amin si Ashlee, lalo na sa akin.

  "Bye!!"
Nagwave na sa amin si Bronx habang paalis ang sasakyan.
Nang makaalis na ito ay pumasok na kami sa loob ng bahay. Napansin kong sumisinghot si Pete na mukhang umiiyak.

  "Hey! Are you crying?"
Tanong ko. Napatingin ang tatlo kay Pete.

  "He is."
Sabi ni Patrick habang tumatawa.

  "No I'm not!"
Singhal nito.

  "Yes you are! Look at your eyes, its teary."
Sabi ko at pinunasan pa ang luha nya.

  "Something's went inside my eyes okay?"
Pagdedeny nito.

  "Yeah right Pete!"
Sabi ni Andy.

  "Let's just practice please."
Sabi nito at nauna na sa studio.
Nagkibit-balikat lang si Patrick.

  "He will just miss Bronx."
Sabi ni Joe sa akin.

  "Yeah."
Sang-ayon ko. Pumunta na kami sa studio, wala naman din akong gagawin kaya manonood ako habang nagpapractice sila. Kagaya ng palagi kong ginagawa kapag nanonood ako, ay nasa isang tabi lang ako. Nilabas ko ang cellphone ko at kinunan sila ng picture at pinost sa twitter.

@Ayeshaaa: prctice 4 d upcoming tour. Oops. Sorry I tell ya. ;) @falloutboy @petewentz @trohman @hurleyxvx

Napuno naman agad ang notif ko. Lahat ay pawang positive comments about sa tour, mukhang sold-out na din ang mga tickets kahit wala pa kami sa Europe. Pero may isang tweet ang nakakuha ng atensyon ko.

@Real_Liam_Payne: hi @Ayeshaaa

Nagulat naman ako dahil muling nagtweet si Liam sa akin. Nagreply naman ako.

@Ayeshaaa: hey!! @Real_Liam_Payne

Sabi ko. Pero ang sumunod na tweet ay thru DM(direct message) na.

@Real_Liam_Payne: how r ya?

Tanong nito. Nagreply naman ako.

@Ayeshaaa: Im good. You?

Sabi ko. Naaliw naman ako sa usapan namin, nabaling ang atensyon ko sa pakikipag-usap ko sa kanya thru twitter.

*Pete's POV*

I was secretly looking to Ayesha while we are practicing for the whole time. She's giggling while holding her phone, and I have no idea why. Damn! Why do I care?
The moment she told me that she likes me too, I can't explain it. I don't want to rush things.

  "Oi! Wentz! You're loosing the chords!"
Patrick shouted at me and I was snapped out.

  "What?"
I asked him.

  "The chords man?!"
He told me.

  "Oh, I'm sorry."
I said. Patrick sighed, as Joe and Andy.
I saw Ayesha left the studio.

  "Man! Your atention was on her."
Patrick told me and stopped playing.

  "Trick's right. For the whole time, you're staring at her."
Andy told me while playinh some unconsistent note from his drums.

  "I think she's talking to Liam."
Joe said then chuckled.

  "Oh yeah! They're friends now."
Andy said. I throw him a deadly glare.

  "Woah! What's with the deadly look Wentz?"
Patrick said in a surprised tone. I sigh. Looks like I have to tell them.

  "Ugh! Damn! She already told me that she likes me."
I told them. And their mouth literally dropped.

  "For real?"
Joe said with an open mouth. I nodded.

  "And?"
Patrick said.

  "And what?"
I asked him confusedly.

  "What's next?"
He said to me. I shrugged.

  "I dunno."

  "Don't know? Oh god! What happened to the old Pete?"
Andy mocked at me.

  "I don't want to rush things. There's a lot of things in my head."
I told them. Patrick patted my back.

  "Okay bro, we understand you. But just tell us if you're going to court her or hang-out with her. We know that you two will be a great couple."
He said to me. I smiled and give them a big hug.

  "Just don't hurt her Wentz."
Joe told me.

  "Yes, or else we'll gonna kick your ass."
Andy warned. I just chuckled.

  "Okay okay."

  "Hey! What's with the hugging? Did I missed anything?"
We all parted when Ayesha went back to the studio with some foods.

  "Fooddds!!"
Andy rushed in to her. We dropped our guitars and walked towards Ayesha.

  "Oi Hurley. Get off her."
I told Andy.

  "Uh-oh, someone's over protective."
Andy said pertaining to me. Ayesha blushed, she knew that Andy's teasing us.

  "Oh crap! We have a loveteam now?"
Patrick giggled.

  "Heh! Itigil nyo yan!"
Ayesha said, we don't understand her but, I can see that she's already embarassed. The three of them just laughed. But Ayesha left the room again, leave us confused.

  "Is she mad?"
Andy said. I stood up and followed her.

*Ayesha's POV*

Pagkabalik ko sa studio ay inaasar na nila ako kay Pete. Mukhang sinabi ni Pete sa tatlo ang napag-usapan namin, nakakahiya tuloy. Lumabas na lang ako ng studio at pumunta sa garden at umupo sa may patio doon.

  "Hay! Ikaw kasi Ayesha! May confession ka pang nalalaman!"
Sabi ko sa sarili ko. Nagulat naman ako nang may tumabi sa akin.

  "Hey."
Si Pete pala, sinundan pala nya ako. Parang pinagpapawisan ako ng malamig dahil magkatabi na naman kami.

  "Why did you left?"
Tanong nya.

  "Uhm, nothing, I just want to."
Sabi ko.

  "I'm sorry if I told them, they're forcing me to tell everything. I'm sorry."
Sabi nito sa akin.

  "It's okay, you don't have to say sorry about that, it's not a big deal."
Sabi ko.

  "Yes it is, it makes you feel uncomfortable."
Sabi nito ay yumuko.

  "I'm sure you too."
Biro ko.

  "Yeah, I mean it's kinda weird."
Sabi nito sa akin. Ilang segunda ding walang nagsalita sa amin, parang may pader na nakaharang amin, pader ng 'awkward'.

  "Ayesha?"
Tawag nya sa akin.

  "Hmm?"
Tumingin ako sa kanya.

  "Can I court you?"
Nakatingin sya sa mga mata ko at tila nangungusap na pumayag ako. Anong sasabihin ko? Oo o hindi?
