go back to the place where I belong.
I shook my head and sigh, this day is the worst! I stare blankly at the sunset when Lyle approaches me from nowhere.

“Sophia” he whispers. “I don’t want to play games today Lyle, I want to be alone” I mutter. “I will just sit beside you and not say a word” before I could protest he already sit down next to me.

“I know it’s a lot to take in” he whisper. “I thought you won’t say a word? Anyway, it is really a lot to take in” I sigh. “What if you knew that your parent’s are not dead and everyone lied to you, what will you feel?” I whisper. “Same as you, but yeah we need to accept the facts about our life” he mutter.

I sigh and watch the ocean, he has a point though, and I have to embrace the facts about me because it’s part of me. I get up and get rid on the sand; on the other hand, Lyle did the same. “Are you ready to face them?” Lyle asks. “I don’t have a choice and besides I have to face them after all they are my family” I walk away from him when he unexpectedly grabs me by his arm.

That weird feeling of sparks running through my body again, it’s tingly. I look at his eyes and he did the same, what now? “You don’t want to play tricks on me Lyle, take note I’m pissed as hell right now” I smirk but surprisingly he smirk back. “I don’t have to because I know you can’t resist me” he said leaving me behind.
I can’t what? He’s ridiculous, how can he be?

I shook my head and follow him, he’s pathetic. We arrive at the house at exactly 6 in the afternoon, the lady uh! Mom opens the door and nod. Unexpectedly there’s an urge force from me, I pull her with a hug and I cry. “I miss you so much mom” I sob. She cuddle me and caress my hair “I know you do honey, and I miss you more than you could ever imagine” she whisper.

Big arms hug me on my back, I don’t have to turn and know who it was because I know that it is the man who is my father. “We’ve been in years of deaths here, kids” he said then that Michael hugs us too. It’s a family reunited hug and I want it to last forever.

After the big hug, we all ended up eating dinner. Mom and dad cooked it for us; they said that they want to make it up to us from now on. “Sophia, do you have a boyfriend?” Dad asks which make me and Michael glare at each other. “Honestly dad, I don’t have any boyfriend because of that oh so protective man beside you!” I said pointing Michael. “That’s what big brothers do” he snap right back at me and cause mom to burst a laughter.

“The two of you are so cute, well how about you Michael? You told us that Fantasy is your girl, then why you don’t allow your sister?” mom asks and makes me smirk like an idiot. “Actually, no one likes Sophia because of her pathetic attitude, she’s mean and rude and sometimes sarcastic” Michael said just obviously want to hide his protective behavior.

I roll my eyes and just concentrate on my food; I then notice that Lyle is insanely staring at me. What’s his problem?

Dad explode a cough and cause me to stare, yeah right they are staring at me that is busy staring at Lyle. Can someone grab me now?

“Anyway, this food is good!” I mutter changing the subject. “Well, thank you darling It’s nice of you” mom smiles. “Yeah, yeah whatever, I’m going to the theater room” I bid. “Can I come with you?” Fantasy unexpectedly asks. I raise my brow not enough for them to notice. “If you want” I said with a grim line. “What about me and Lyle?” Michael asks. “You can come if you want and I’ll just probably stay here so that I can help mom and dad clean up your mess” I said and started picking up the plates when Lyle grabs it from me.

“What’s your problem?” I shouted. “I would help them, go to your movie or whatever you call that!” he snaps. Everybody except me and Lyle cough. I stare at them blankly and there I notice that my back is on Lyle’s front. My cheeks started heating up, why can’t this day be so nice? “You can do it!” I snap and went on my way with Fantasy and Michael following me.

The theater room is on the second floor of the beach house, its dark with a big screen and 10 massage seats that have a color black on it. I sit down at the very back of the room while Michael and Fantasy sat on the front. “What movie you like to watch?” Fantasy asks me “You two choose” I said. “Let’s watch the Paranormal 4 Activity” Michael said. “Yeah, whatever you big coward” I tease him. Really, Michael may be tough but it’s not a secret from me that he is insanely coward when it comes on horror films.

The movie was about to start when mom, dad and Lyle enter the theater room with an unknown blonde girl. “Hey, did we miss a big part of the movie?” Lyle said which cause Michael and Fantasy turn around. “Hey, oh Britney you came” Michael gasps in shock. “Yeah, Lyle keeps on calling me and here I am” the girl named Britney responds.

“Come along now! We’re going to start the film” Michael smiles while Fantasy looks at me with sorry face. She also knows that I like Lyle and even though we’re not that close anymore, she still keeps it as a secret.

Chapter Seven

The movie is getting thrilled, but not with me. Mom wrapped her body on dad, Michael hide on Fantasy’s back and Lyle cuddled his girl named Britney. I am such a horrible looser, I think. For me not wanting to see some inappropriate behavior rather than the movie, I manage to stand up and walk outside the theater room. How come I keep on being the loner? And that nerd! I thought that his relationship is over? Uh! I really hate this day! I just want to go home to where my group and grandparents was. I can’t stay another day with them.

I decided to walk to my bedroom when I notice Lyle followed me or maybe would just grab a drink. “Hey, don’t you want to finish the movie?” he said. “I don’t want to see some extras in front of me, three couples in front of me doing nothing than cuddling with fear, that movie is not that scary!” I mutter and sigh. “Because you’re not scared of everything” he said. “Anyway, I’d rather go to my bed and sleep” I bid but before I could wholly turn my back on him, he just unexpectedly grab my arms and that fucking feeling is there again.

“Do you really want to grab my arms?” I said as I struggle to get rid of him but unfortunately he didn’t let me go “Are you mad because my girl is here?” he smirks. “Excuse me? For your information you big nerdy coward I don’t like you and why the hell would I be mad? It’s your life and that’s none of my concern so can you just let go of me before your girl can say something?” I hiss and fortunately he did let go of me.

Meanwhile, Britney’s standing behind Lyle. She might notice us glaring at each other because she walks towards Lyle and smile at me. “So, you’re Sophia, Michael little sister” she greets. For me not to be mean I smile at her “And you’re Britney, Lyle’s girl. I thought you two broke up” I said. “Sorry?” she asks confusingly. “Never mind, I hope you’ll enjoy staying here have a goodnight” I bid and went on my bedroom.

He already has a girlfriend, and what about you?

My subconscious teases. I can’t blame my subconscious; I never tried having a boyfriend before, not even a simple kiss, I sigh from the thought. I’ve decided to call Chloe or the rest of the girls but unfortunately no one answered, maybe they are still upset with me for leaving them behind and ditching our plans for tonight. I am such a horrible girl.

A knock from my bedroom door occurs “Come in” I said. The door opens and there standing my old best friend Fantasy. “How can I help you?” I mutter. “Can we talk?” she said. “Yeah, whatever” I mutter. I lend her my fluffy bed for her to sit and she did accept it. “What is it all about?” I ask.

“I thought we’re okay” she whispers lowly. “Yes we are? I don’t find any misunderstanding between us” I said dryly. “I know that you just try to be nice, we’ve been what best friend since the day we were born…” “It ended up when you two lied to me” I snap. “Look, I’m having a hard time here so please just tell me what do I need to do for you to be so close to me again” she said and I know that from the way she talk she’s not happy “You don’t need to do anything, here” I lend her my pinky finger “This I promise you, that we’re good and no hard feelings” I smile.

She accept it and smile, I don’t want to be rude. Yes, I was hurt when they lied to me about them dating but I know that it’s about time to forgive and forget. “Can we stay best friends again?” she said. “I can’t promise you that, besides it’s better this way” I smile and she did smile as well.

I try to talk to her more; I want to know what it feels like being committed with my brother or being committed with a man. “So, how are you dealing my brother?” I start a conversation. She stares at me with a surprise look, maybe she’s surprise of my question, I think. “Well, I don’t really have any interest between your relationship with him but well, if my brother is happy so am I” I continue. She smiles, her shy smile and I raise my brow, oh man! I think. “I don’t know if I will tell you this but your brother is so protective and oh he’s terrible when he gets jealous”

I can’t blame Fantasy, she’s so gorgeous and I know guys are looking forward on dating her but my brother is not too bad though. “Are you happy with him?” I ask. “Yes, you know that he’s my first and I do hope that he will be my last. I love
