"He is still alive, Kiara, here." He says, motioning to his heart.
It's been five years since that dreadful day. Keith said his last goodbye and left me alone in this world. The doctors were able to keep his heart alive and performed Andrew's surgery. His heart did fail during the surgery, and they replaced Andrew's heart with Keith’s.

I wake up at 6 am as my flight leaves today at 11. I see my brother still sleeping, so I go to my room and get ready for my flight. I wear a black crop top with black jeans, and a grey long-sleeved coat and pair it with some black sneakers and put my hair in a high ponytail.I wake my brother up, and we both head to the airport. It is starting to get cold here. The rainy season is over, and soon winter will start. I look at the rising sun and think that I am so lucky to be alive to see this beautiful sight. We often take everything in our life for granted. The beautiful sunrise, the voices of early birds, looking for food, the air smelling like the rain and time spent with family. We never know when we will be robbed of all these. I look at kei, and he is awfully quiet.Tears already start forming in my eyes since I know that I won't be seeing my brother for a long time. I pray to God to take care of him. He will be alone in that big house that has a lot of memories of

My jaw is literally on the floor. Wow. Ok, that hurt just a little bit. Raven did tell me that the boys don't know and that it was a surprise, but still, it is wrong to make assumptions you know."What? Reed no! she is our new exchange student and her name is Kiara." Raven informs her son.He did look a bit taken back, but he covers it up. He gives a stiff nod and runs upstairs."Ooh, I always wanted a sister." the smaller boy says. I smile. He reminds me of Keith."My name is Ryder. I am 13 years old." He tells me."My name is Kiara and I am 16 years old. I am going to be a junior in your school." I introduce myself.He also gives me a nod and runs upstairs."I am so happy that you are here." Blake tells me. I smile at him."Freshen up Kiara, we will have dinner afterwards." Raven informs me. I give a quick nod, and Blake leads me to my room. It looks very beautiful. I have my own tv, there is a big queen-size bed. I love it.

The next day I wake up, do my morning routine, and go down for breakfast."Good morning honey. How are you feeling?" Raven questions."I am fine. Just suffering from jet lag." I reassure her."Ok, here have some breakfast." she hands me a plate with bacon and eggs.I've never had bacon in my life. Well, everyone has a first time."Mmmm it tastes so good." This tastes amazing. I have been missing out on this all my life."Looks like someone likes bacon." Raven grins."Yeah, you have to get more bacon now." I grin back."Anyway get ready we will be going to the mall in an hour." Raven reminds me.I wish morning to Blake. I didn't see the boys as they already left for school. They still have two more weeks of school before winter vacation.I give a swift nod and go upstairs to get ready.

I wake up to Ella licking my face trying to wake me up."I am up, I am up," I reassure her with a laugh. She gives me a doggy grin, if that is possible, and leaves my room.I get ready for the day. I wear a hoodie, legging, pair them with white sneakers, and leave my hair down. I walk downstairs to find the boys ready for school and eating breakfast."Ooh, finally, the queen has awakened." Ryder greets me."At your service." I give him a bow, he chuckles. I greet everyone else and make myself a bowl of cereal."Kia, I have work today, so I won't be home. Will you be fine all alone?" Raven asks me, concerned.She is a housewife but, she is also a substitute doctor. So, she works rarely and, Blake is a CEO of a good marketing company. They are pretty rich."I will be fine. I will probably spend the day talking to my friends or chilling in the pool." I reassure her.She gives me a small smile and gets ready for work. Soon ev

"You are riding with me on my motorcycle." Reed says with a smirk.Reed thinks that I am afraid of motorcycles like some people.

I take it and take a seat behind him."You can hold onto me if you want," he smirks.God, I wish I could wipe that smirk off his face."No problem dude i can handle myself."

We watch horror movies, I play sports with him, and sometimes Reed joins us.I will meet Andrew again today when I go to church. I can't wait to give him the presents I got for him.

But, I at least had Keith, but he has a stepfather who hates him.I take a shower and straighten my hair. I wear a hoodie and legging.I go downstairs, and a beautiful aroma fills my senses pancakes.

"- got into a serious accident, and is admitted to the hospital," my heart stops for a moment, and I drop the phone. Raven rushes towards me, and she picks the phone and answers it."Yes, we will be there as soon as possible,""Come on, Kiara. Everything is going to be fine," she assures, pulling me into a hug. My mind is blank, and my heart is numb. I can't cry.Everything that happened after that is a blur. I remember Raven, Reed, and I drove towards the hospital.

I question the nurse."A truck went out of control and came at full speed and hit the passenger side. The driver only sustained a few injuries and nothing major,"Three times I had to hear about people close to me getting into an accident. Finally, the tears start falling. I start

"That is amazing, Reed,” Blake breaks the silence.“Yeah, you will have our full support if that is what you want,” Raven informs, hugging her son."Those love birds need to talk, so come on, everyone," Raven leaves the room, pulling all the others along with her. Keith points his fingers towards Reed to make sure that we know that he is watching us. I roll my eyes."Are you mad, Kiara?" Reed asks me once everyone leaves."No, I am not mad. Not mad. Not mad at all, Nuh-uh. You don't think I am mad, do you? Because I am not. Don't think that I am mad,""So, I will take it that you are mad," Reed concludes."No. Not mad at you.

I grab my graduation cap and gown and rush outside.“You look lovely,” Raven compliments my outfit. I am wearing a light blue dress with flower decorations, and I braided my hair into two french braids.I thank her and take a seat beside Keith. He frowns. I raise my eyebrows in a questioning manner."Here, your dress is missing this," he says and pins a brooch."This is moms favourite brooch," I say, trying not to cry."Yeah, I figured you might need it for your special day," he smiles. I hug him and admire the brooch."Everyone here?

"ANDREW," I shout over the sound of the music and run to him. Reed follows behind.Noah, Luke, and Reed help carry Andrew outside. We place him on a bench, and I sprinkle water on his face. After three more times, he slowly wakes up."What happened?" he asks groggily. I release a breath I didn't know I had been holding."You fainted," Kate informs, hugging him. I sit down, feeling relieved. Reed comes and hugs me. I hug him back, holding him tight."Andrew, why did you clutch your chest. Do you feel any pain?" I ask him, worried."No, Kiara. I was too excited, so I didn't eat the whole day. I also have a gastric problem. If I don't eat for a long period, I will faint. Nothing new" he smiles sheepishly."Don't ever scare us like that," I hug him."Come on, they are announcing prom king and queen," Andrew says excitedly and goes to leave when Kate stops him."Where do you think you are going?

“Kate, I will cut off your limbs if you take me to another store to look for a dress that I don’t even need,” I warn Kate.“But Kiara. What if you accidentally spill juice on the dress? What if someone steps on your dress, and it rips? What if a crow decides to dirty your dress? What if there is an alien invasion, and you get caught because you cannot run in that dress? What if som-”“What the heck are you even talking about?” I look at my best friend incredulously.“All of that might come true. I can’t lose you to an alien. What if you get eaten?” she cries.“I think you are spending too much time with Noah,” Ava pipes in, taking a bite of her ice cream.“Kate, all that you mentioned is not going to happen. I will be extra careful if that makes you happy, ok?” I assure her.“Come on. We still need to buy you heels,” Ava drags me.

I wake up to bright sunlight entering my room. Why has my alarm not gone off yet? The sleep I am getting is really suspicious. I take a look at my clock and see it’s thirty minutes past six.Ah. I can sleep some more. I doze off again.'Don't you think it’s quite unusual to be this bright at six-thirty in the morning?' I hear winter's sleepy voice.'It's too early to hear your voice. Let me sleep,' I cover my ears with my pillow.'I can say the same about you but, I think the clock is not working because the sun is too bright to be this early in the morning,''Fine, stop nagging. I will check my phone,' I roll over my bed and accidentally fall.I open my phone to see that the time is 8:10. I rub my eyes thoroughly to see if I am mistaken. But the time still shows 8:10. School starts at 8."AHHHHH, I am terribly late," I shriek, trying to stand up. My legs get tangled in my blanket, and I fall again."Could this day
