twin

ice on bed

meg takes a shower, getting ready to go to the bar.

puts on her make up.

she bought a new dress online,

a black glittery offshoulder top paired with a short skirt.

as she dont normally wear

and she puts it on

feeling sexy ,thinking aki might like it.

she is making efforts, with the thought aki will change. and

everything will go back as it used to be.

she wonders why aki is giving her cold shoulders.

they used to chat and text till midnight

see each other almost everyday

aki used to ask her how her day was, and he constantly checks

on her everyday.

but its not the same anymore.

she only received one message from him.

and it was just a reply when she asked him if she can come

tonight.

just one word

"yes"

not a single emoji heart

after that..theres nothing.

she went to the bar not as excited as it was before, feeling

there is something bad that will happen. but she didnt care.

she continued walking to the entrance.

she was late and akis band was already playing.

but john was there, sitting with another guest.

meg doesnt want to feel alone in a table so she approached

john. tapped his back and smiled at him

"hey meggg,i didnt recognize you..wow." complimenting her.

he was stunned

" they already started.here sit with us" said john

megs checks on her watch "yeah i was late i didnt notice the

time." she sat down as she smiles to the other girl next to

john.

at the back of her mind "what the hell are you doing here."

its the girl that carresed his back the other night they were

at the bar.

she did not introduce herself and meg did'nt mind. she doesnt

really care to know. but she wants to know whats her relation with aki.

"you already know her?" meg whispered to john

"what? i cant hear you the music is loud" as the band still

playing in the background

"text me" said john "you know my number right? i texted you,

you did not reply!"

"what?" showing him a confused face

john gets closer to meg and said "i said.. text me"

"i was just asking about.. " slightly points at the other girl

hidden under the table so the other girl will not notice

but the two got distracted

appluase in the background as the 1st set ended

another music plays in the background

rnb vibe.

aki and his siblings went down the stage.

aki approaches the girl as his sisters approached meg and

hugs.

"what have you been upto, i havent seen you for a while. i

missed you, girl!" said akis younger sister

"yeah you didnt come to my brothers birthday, we were all

there!" said the elder sister

meg was surprised to hear it from his sisters.

it only meant that no one told them that she went to the

party.

"i was there, but they said you guys already left." confused

"then why didnt we see you in the morning" "we went back and

they were still drinking. she was there... " pointing on the

other girl

meg got confused as he told her that her sisters doesnt want

her to stay there anymore.

but it gets more clearer.

and she , the other girl, went there.

when she got home

did she sleep with him that night?

everything was confusing. she gets really worried with whats

happenning. but she contained herself. kept her smile

"hey" aki said to meg, taps her back

"hey...""how are .."

she havent finished talking yet but aki left and sat beside

the other girl.

"you look really good tonight, its sexy.. where did you buy

this" aki's sister said

"thank you, it was just online"

"omygoddd i want this" pertaining to her top

aki heard his sister and glanced at meg

he looked from head to toe. and stared at her like he wants

her.in bed. he stared for a minute and the girl noticed it and gets his attention.

"baby, why are you looking at her?" said the girl to aki,

feeling jealous.

"what?" as if he did not hear the girl. and continuesly

looking at meg.

the girl moved his face towards her to get more attention.

he pours a drink on his glass and drinks it.

"BABY?!!!!" meg smiled at aki, but was screaming in her mind .

as she heard the girl saying it to him.

"yes meg i told you, you look stunning." said john praising

meg again.

"thanks john" wishing it was aki telling her that she looks

perfect.

she knows aki is looking at her.

meg had the idea to show off more to john to make aki jealous

for she was really mad on how the girl flirts with aki.

she pulls her seat closer to john, said she cant hear what

john is saying. but she did it in purpose.

she noticed aki looking at them. and that his modd was changed.

she smiled at aki and tossed

her bottle to his glass of beer.

"cheers" sips a bit and puts her attention back to john.

aki asked the girl to switch places for her to have a better

view of the stage. and sits beside john. interrupting john and

meg from talking. he doesnt want to look obvious that he is

getting jealous.

"bro, if you have some friends bring them here, so they can

also watch us play"

"yup, i already invited my cousin and some of his friends."

"great, will be glad to see them."

"meg, come here when they come ok? i will text you" said john

"wait, you have her number?" surprised aki

"ahmm yes babe, he asked for it on your brothers birthday. i

told you about it already, right?" tho she never really told

aki. checking if he really cared on their past conversations

"huh, i cant remember."

"yeah, but you were busy that day.right?"

"oh well. ill be on the stage in a minute." changing the topic so meg will not ask about what happened on his brothers birthday when she got home.

" you guys are ok

here. talk with her, she is nice"said aki,then points at the girl

meg just smiled. trying to hide her emotions towards the two.

feeling betrayed and confused about her status with aki.

"what am i to him if they call each other baby... or if she

calls him baby." she thought

the girl just smiled back. a fake smile.

meg doesnt want to speak with the girl. she hoped that the

girl wont bother to talk with her too.

she was afraid that she might ask the girl if they are

together, or what they are, and why she called him baby.

she was afraid to hear it directly from the girl.

the band started playing. after 3 to 4 songs, its request and

jam time.

"anyone who wants to request for a song just write it in the

paper, or tissue, anything can do.. we will play it for you."

akis sister, the vocalist announced.

the girl writes a song in the paper, with a love note under

the song " i love you aki" she hands it over to aki.

meg saw what she wrote. her heart is pounding.

"i cant confront her...she might be thinking she is his

girlfriend but there is somethng i need to know. she seems

like she doesnt know about me" she thought

band plays her song. and after another

the vocalist said "it was a great song, whooo so much emotion.

but much better if you want to donate. " as she jokes around.

the crowd laughs.

"and its jam time! guysss anyone who would like to jam come

right here in the stage with us! come onnn guys lets jam!"

"dont be shyyy.. " she waited but no one goes up to the

stage.she calls out megs attention. "meggg! come right here

, i know you have a talent!" said the vocalist

" i heard her sing already and she is amazing!" as she tells

the crowd

meg is a bit embarrased and feeling shy. but she stood up with

confidence and there she went up the stage.

aki was surprised thinking that she wouldnt dare to sing in

front of many people.

she shared with aki that story when she was embarrased in

front of many people, and that she has a stage fright.

he used to push her and encouraged her to sing again. and that

they even practice together at his place with him playing his acoustic guitar.

meg holds the microphone and she started to sing.

looks into the crowd but can only see the lights glaring on her eyes.

with the smoke machine makes it more harder for her to see the crowd, but she gained more confidence as if there was no one watching.

she was nervous, she closes her eyes as she continued singing remembering what aki told her. "dont be shy and let your talent shine." as he embraced her telling her he is her number one fan.

hugs and kisses while they practice. sing together , blend their voices, laugh at wrong lyrics and just hum together.

a memory of them practicing the song that she was singing.

but it was a bit bitter recalling that memory.

they were happy back then.

she missed him a lot.

she almost cried.

feeling every lyrics of the song

feeling how much love aki had for her before

but as she opens her eyes

there is this girl, on her sight.

reminding her

that aki doesnt belong to her.

she gets really emotional while she was singing. but still showed everyone how amazing she was.

the crowd was amazed by her beautiful voice and when she was done singing, the vocalist even joked that she can already replace her and she can go home.

the crowd loved her.

and they were shouting "more!!" asking for another song from meg. she did another. and they all applaud to her.

she bowed and said goodnight

then went down the stage.

"woooow" said john "you were really great meg!" high fived

she smiled. wished it was aki, imagining that he couldve embraced her tightly that she already conquered her fear.. her stage fright.

but yes it was because of him.

she wanted to show up that she is better than the other

she wanted to show aki, she can do it.

even without him.

but

she still wanted him back.

wanted to go back from where they used to be.

she wants to be with him.

the show was over

and its time to go home

akis sister invited her to come with them at akis place, she said she can just stay till morning. they missed meg so much and they would like to bond with her before she gets busy again.

aki had no choice

he felt like he wanted to have meg beside him but he feels like he is responsible for the girl.

he was torn between the two.he then told the girl that he will drive her home but meg has to come together with his sisters.

the girl gets in to the car

and meg followed as instructed by aki.

she sat beside the girl. both was inside the car

it was awkward.

meg had no choice either.

"goodnight everyone, goodnight baby" as the girl she went down the car.

meg kept silent hearing the girl say baby again to aki. she waved goodbye. and gave her fake smile.

meg gets even more confused. she knows that his sisters knows that they are dating.

she knows that they know what they have been doing.

but no one reacted when that girl said baby.

no one even cared how meg will react. no one asked her what and how she felt.

is it a part of them being in a band?

she now even questions if these girls are being true to her.

it felt weird.

they bought some drinks and played cards

but they just stayed for a while.

one sister said to aki, make sure that meg will get some rest.

and was hoping they can see meg in the morning when they go back for practice.

aki agreed.

meg stayed for the night.

she changed clothes and laid down.

followed by aki after taking a bath.

he sits beside her as she lay down.

both are silent

both feeling jealous

both afraid to confront each other.

he laid down. turns his back to meg

both feeling cold.

meg stared at aki waiting...

waiting for that goodnight kiss and hug that he used to do

waiting....

for answers with the questions she cant even ask.

waiting...

for aki to come back in her life.

he is there beside her

but she felt alone.

then she fells asleep.
