If I Had Only Known
I waited for my Mom and Dad to fall asleep and that's where I sneak out on my room. My friends invited me to a party but my Parents didn't allow me to go outside saying that it's already dark. And going outside at night is prohibited as anything dangerous can happen. I know they are just over reacting. They are just too much you know. I can't even enjoy my high school life because of that curfew.
I mean, can't I have a normal but happy High School life? Why don't they let me experience that. But now, I'm sick and tired with their over protectiveness that's why this time. I will do what I want. I want to enjoy my teenage life. And I will start doing it. I'm done being a good daughter. It's time to stand up and enjoy this lifetime. I will look like a bad daughter to everyone but, piss off.
I took the keys from the gate and the front door that I duplicate this morning using the original one and put it in my pocket. I took the money that I'm saving for my new phone and started to walk like a wanted criminal trying not to make a sound. Slowly buy surely. I want to just jump from my room but nah, my knees can't take that and I will surely get an injury with that.
I'm finally on our gate and I just have to try my best to really not make a sound. Once I'm out, I can't stop myself from jumping of excitement coz I got out without any problem. But before I walk away to where our meeting place is, I took a last glance on our house. I even thought I saw someone in the balcony because of the shadow but maybe it's just my imagination.
I successfully met with my friends and I can very much see the surprise look in their eyes. Maybe because they thought, I can't come again with them just like the other times. But today is different. Today I choose to change. We just get into my friend's car and go to the place where the party is being held. I'm so excited and I'm not even sure if my outfit is okay. But my friends told that it's gorgeous and I believe them.
I'm having a cold sweat actually as this ks my first time attending to this kind of event. As a daughter who grow up with a conservative parents, this kind of thing is like a big sin. Even wearing a slightly sexy dress is not allowed. But they didn't know that I was actually collecting these kind of dress. Though it's only a second hand, still I want them so I will have it. It's cheap anyone so no problem with thr price. Sexy dress is an art!.
When we arrive at the venue, it is so huge that I don't even know what to feel. Fear but at the same time excited. Maybe coz it's my first time that's why when I saw those dancing light I got a headache. It's cool but I'm just not used to it. I continue walking with my friends introducing me to anyone that I can't even remember some of them. But therr is this one boy who caught my attention. He's looking at me so I also look at him in the eyes.
I don't have a plan to drink alcohol but when I look at him at the eyes. I just suddenly was startled and just get the glass that is in front of me without checking if it has alcohol in it. I just chug it without even blinking and when i taste it, it is too bitter that I feel like throwing up. Gahhh. This is not part of the plan. I only want orange juice without alcohol. But well, this is once in a lifetime experience so I just shrug it off.
I didn't even notice the time coz I enjoy my time there too much. I didn't really talk with anyone that much because as much as possible I am avoiding anyone coz I don't want anyonr to recognize me. I enjoy it too. Even alone because some of my friend already go to their partner. As for me I just roam around my eyes to the place and enjoy my time watching everyone. And when I finally look at thr clock, it's already 3 AM. I am so surprised that I forgot to say my bye to my friends.
I run faster outside and look for a taxi but it's been a 30 minutes already but I'm not seeing anything. Well, this is a village. No one will come unless someone call from inside. But I don't want to go back to the party that's why even if it's hard to walk because of my high heels I still walk and I did it faster. I just hope, Dad still not noticing that I'm not at home. But my phone is still not ringing so I think I'm still safe. I just get inside the car and give the direction to her home.
She's still far from their home but she can already saw the bunch of people on her way. In her mind, she's not safe anymore now that those Marites are still up. But she's also wondering why it's already 3 AM and they are still awake. And now that she's getting near to their house, she can see that they are actually in front of their house. And they are looking somewhere. While their house light is all open. That's where she felt that something is wrong. And when she got out of the car that's where she saw a stretcher.
And in thay stretcher is the body of her Father. Shes knows even it has a blanket in his body. It's because of his watch. And then another one come, and she's sure that it's her mother base on the bracelet on her hand. She run fast to where they are and ask "What happen to them? I'm the daughter so tell me please!!!" I am already crying that time. But the officer didn't answer. And when the words finally sink in to her senses, she just fall on to the ground and faint.
