but nothing happen. Meanwhile my phone rings and I answer it without hesitation.

“Hello?” I mutter. “Why didn’t you tell us that you’re going with your brother?” I don’t have to guess who it was because the voice is familiar and it was Chloe. “I…I’m sorry, it’s a sudden though, please tell the girls about this and I’ll just explain it to you personally” I said. “You better explain it to us and make us understand or else we’re going to be upset” then she hangs up.

Dang it! I really forget about them, I am such a horrible friend, I think. “Who was it?” Lyle asks making me jump. Well it’s not my fault, he is so quiet though. “It’s none of your concern” I said sarcastically. “Why are you so mean to me? Don’t you know that all the girls in town well, obviously excluded you; are head over heels and dying to be with me? And you?” he said. “I’m not like them and besides they don’t know how nerdy you are!” I snap.

I heard him chuckle but I pretend to ignore it! I don’t want him to know that I am also one of the girls but yeah right! I know how to resist his charm. “Where are we going?” I said, yeah I also forgot to ask them about it! How pathetic. “In your beach house” he mutters. “What? Why?” I ask surprisingly. “Your brother’s order” he said.

Why do he always keep on following the orders of my brother? He’s so weird and coward! “As usual” I said. “Just trust him, he just wants us all to be happy” he said looking at me. Oh how I love his ocean blue eyes, but before he could notice I look away. “Why are you happy with him being so bossy? Does he have anything against you? Or do you need something? ” I said with a sarcastic tone.

He didn’t respond, so I just keep silent. He can’t respond because he’s a coward!

My subconscious spats. Yeah right! How can I forget that? He’s so bloody coward when it comes with my brother. “By the way, what happened between you and your girl?” I mutter but with a curious voice. I then bumped into the front after he breaks hard. What the hell is his problem?

“It’s none of your business, so if you could just shut your mouth!” he said with a cold voice. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t like!” I shout which cause him to stare at me. I have a bad feeling about this, now what? “Get out!” he shouts. “Here, in the middle of the road? Are you fucking kidding me? You want me to die?” I shout back. “I don’t care so just, get out now!” he yells but now he unlocks the car doors.

I felt pain run through me; I felt a big rock thrown into my heart. There the thought hit me; he doesn’t like me like I think. “Fine” I said but now in a low tone. I hate him, I hate him so much. I attempted to climb out when he grabs my arm, I stare at him blankly. “What?” I snap! “I already texted your brother!” he mutter and without a nanosecond, Michael arrived with Fantasy.

I got out of the car and Lyle went on his way, leaving me, Michael and Fantasy behind. “What happened?” Fantasy asks. “It’s not your problem, I want to go back home. I don’t want to be with you guys!” I snap. “Sophia! Where are your manners?” Michael protests. “I don’t know, maybe out there somewhere?” I said irritated.

“Could you just please stop acting like a child?” he snap. “Then stop treating me like a child!” I snap back. We glare at each other when Fantasy spoke “We just want to hang out with you Sophia because we know that you will be busy with your classes, is it too much to ask?” “Yes it is! But I will come” I said and get straight inside the car.

I don’t know what really happen about Lyle, I just ask him and he just change his actions towards me. I shook my head and forgot the thought. “So tell us, what did really happen?” Michael asks. “I just ask him about what happen between him and his girlfriend, and he just act as if someone just died” I mutter.

They didn’t respond, so I decided to take a nap. Besides, our beach house is not that near. It’s an hour drive and I can’t just sit at the back listening at them talking about some nonsense things.

But before darkness consumes me I heard someone or is it Michael? Says “She must know that our…”

and I didn’t hear the next line.

Chapter Five

I wake up from my deep snap well in my case a sleep if it’s nice. I rub my eyes and open it slowly, there I felt a soft and comfort pillow on my head and on my arms. Where the heck this pillow comes from?

After I could totally protest, the sea breeze came inside the room. Oh, how I miss this place BEACH HOUSE! But wait how did I get here?

“The sleeping ugly is awake” a familiar voice makes me clear up my mind. Why is Lyle here? Can someone enlighten me?

“I’m sorry for what happen last time, I was just, and I just don’t like someone shouting at me” he said. I raise my brow and pretend not to hear him but I was late because before I could get up from the bed, Lyle pinned me down.

Electricity run through my veins, I never felt this way. Because Lyle never touches you and he wouldn’t allow you to touch him too!

My inner goddess spats. “What do you think you’re doing? Get off me, you pervert, nerd or what WEIRDO!” I snap. “I said I was sorry” “If all things can just be forgiven because of the word ‘sorry’ then why the hell there is still policemen?” I snap and struggle to get up but he didn’t let me go.

“I’m sorry” he whispers but now more sincere. “What is it to you if I don’t?” I mutter. “You’re killing me here!” He snaps. “Look at our position and tell me who’s the one being killed slowly?” I snap back at him.

We was stopped when the bedroom door burst open and there Michael and Fantasy along with people that I don’t even know standing in front of us. “You’re here” the lady with a straight dark black hair like mine said. “She’s really here” a man with eyes like Michael’s continues.

“Get off me!” I shout at Lyle and there I saw he’s ocean blue eyes full of anger. What the hell? I forgot!

He get off me and struggle to be nice at me, he’s acting strange. He lends his hand for me to get up, without a second thought I accepted it. When our hands touches, the unexplainable feeling hit my body again so before I do something I would regret I pull my hands away from him.

Before I could collect all my thoughts, the lady and the man hug me as if they know me. “You’ve grown like your brother, and I’m sorry that we’re not there to see the two of you grow up” the lady whisper and let go of me. “Did I just miss something?” I mutter irritated. First, I don’t want to be hugged by some strangers and second, they talk very well as if they know me! Ridiculous!

Michael take a deep breath and walk in front of me, nodding at Fantasy and Lyle maybe asking them to leave the room because without any second thought thy left us with the lady and man and to think that they might be couples.

“I know that this will be going to sound terrible to you Sophia because I was so mad when I knew this too. Grandfather just told me about this late this morning when he came…” “Just straight to the point Michael” I cut him off. I look at the couple and back at Michael’s and I know that this is going to be good news, I think.

“Mom and Dad didn’t die as what our grandparents said” he mutters. My mouth drops open and my eyes widen, I stare at the adult couples and there I recognized the girls face, she looks like me, is she my mother? And the man he looks like Michael.

“Honey, we are sorry for not taking care of you” the man said. Tears trembling down on my cheeks, why do they need to tell me all about this? I am so happy without them! “Sophia” the lady whispers. “I am already happy in my life with Gram and Pop and Michael, I don’t need you so you can get rid of me now!” I said with a cold tone.

“Sophia” Michael murmurs. “Why do you both need to show up? Why now, now that we don’t need you anymore!” I yell. “It’s… it’s so complicated Sophia” the man mutter. “Complicated that you need to get rid of us? Is that so complicated?” I snap “Yes” the three of them says in unison. “How can you easily accept them Michael?” I ask but still crying.

“At first I don’t want to accept them but after all they are our parents without them we could never be here” he mutters. “What? So now, they just can roam into our lives?” I snap

“Just give mom and dad a chance and for sure we’re going to love them again” he said. I shook my head and ran away from them, down the stairs exit at the back door and went to the shore. This is a lot to take in and I just can’t focus to where I should start this fucked-up-ness thing.

Why is this happening to me? Them being here, telling me that they are alive and Michael helping them is not so good!

Chapter Six

I spent 30 minutes thinking about the things that just happen. I want to be alone; I want to
