I have to make sure. I do not want to make assumptions. I don’t want my heart to be broken again. I stared at him, alive and well and handsome, as always.The leaves fell down around us. The summer sun’s heat pierces my skin but I couldn’t care less. The sunlight bathed everything with that fairytale glow. The sweet breeze blew. The kids walking hand in hand as they ate their ice cream sort of brought me back into the past. Today was like the day I met him: Me, riding a bicycle and him, walking down the pavement.Except that in the past, I met him here, because he was crying but now, he is not. He is smiling so wide that he even have the guts to flirt with the girls. I grab the handle of the bicycle

•••Chapter 1 “Alex!” I raise my head as the little boy mentioned my name. It gives me goose bumps every time I hear him call me. He was running towards me. He was holding a colorful kite on his small hands. He let go of it as he held the camera with the both of his hands. The younger me peek from above the tree and say hello to him. I remember this scene. I remember the old tree house, and the swing, and the movie nights. I remember those lazy days, those afternoons, everything. I pause the video as it zooms towards the little boy’s face. I touch it tenderly and breathe out a sigh.“Alex!” The second call came from my mother. Not from the old video I was watching a while ago, though. It came from the kitchen. I took out the disk from the player and turn off the TV before I sat still on the bed. Memories of the past kept on hunting me though I chose not to dwell on them. With a sigh, I snatch my bag from the floor and went out of my room.I was looking at the pictures on the cream

•••Chapter 2ALEX“Mom, what do you mean he’s not coming back?” I stared at my mother with eyes full of confusion. I couldn’t understand why she was acting so sullen."You know that he's gone for seven years now right" I nodded. Of course I know it. It's been seven years, two weeks, three days and nine hours. "Well, we didn't say this for we fear that your life would be at risk. We are afraid that your heart would totally breakdown like what had happen when he left you. But please, calm down as we tell you the secret we've keeping for seven years now" Dad bowed his head before he took my mom’s hand."Dad, what are you saying--""He planned on visiting you as a surprise for your tenth birthday but then, they encounter a storm. They sent signals but they're totally late. After two days their plane was found with the pilot in there, his hand on the handle but he hasn’t had the chance to remove his seatbelt. On the other hand, his dad and him weren’t there so they're hoping that they're

•••Chapter ThreeALEX"So, where are we going?" Keith said as we pulled out of our driveway."You know the usual" Kathy squealed and side-hugged me. I am glad that we fix our issue right away. I turned the radio up and sing with Katy Perry with the song ‘Party in the USA’. We went to the ice rink which is near the mall and look for a parking space. After that we paid and got our ice skating shoes. A hand snatched my arm from behind and I turned around to see a smiling Keith. "Keith!" I shouted as she started to drag me at the center. She chuckled, pushing me more then she took one last glance at my place, contented. She left me there with my mouth hanging open and eyes with the size of saucers."You can do it" Kathy yelled and she whispered something to the DJ.The song ‘when you're gone’ by Avril Lavigne played. I blushed not that I'm embarrassed but angry. I soon cool off as I saw their cute puppy dog faces.I prepared myself and dance gracefully. People started gathering and soo

•••Chapter FourALEX"Lalala, wake up" I open my eyes to see a jumping figure on my bed, squishing me, making my body went all jelly and my vision, waved.Oh....whoever it is, it really is going to pay.I look up to see who it is and my anger cool off, it's Tommy Bear! "Hey, Tommy why are you up so early?" I said yawning while rubbing the sleep on my eyes."It's not earl, it's already 10 in the morning!" He answered back with a "duh" tone"Oh, okay. Tommy, can you please go out for a minute? I'll change and after that I'll meet you later for I need to get ready for my graduation. ""Oh, sorry I didn't know that. Bye" he said shutting my door.I quickly took a bath and headed inside my closet to find my dress. I searched for it and found it at the the table where I put the shopping bags yesterday. It was a blue dress with a black ribbon at the back and it's really gorgeous.I slipped in my jeans and shirts then put it inside the paper bag and went out of my closet. Then I was tackled

•••Chapter FiveCAIDENThis was just plain ridiculous.I can't believe this. I mean, the girl whom I'll be married with was that crazy girl whom I shouted at the park? I touched the swelling bump in the back of my head and wince, glaring at her. She looked at me with anger and hurt. She is clenching her hands that I couldn’t help but distance myself from her. I turn to look at her again and checked her out. Hmmm, well she has a nice body and oh yeah. It will be great for her to be in my bed. My thoughts snap when I heard her irritated voice speaking "Dad can you just make this meeting fast so I could go back to sleep and rest?""Well, Alex. Caiden here will be staying for two months so that you two can have a good time and also, you'll be the one to be his tour guide, understand?" Her dad looked at her but she just nodded her head like the matter was nothing to her."Understood" she answered while moving far away from me but it gave me the urge to move closer to her. Well, I'm a te

•••Chapter SixALEXTommy gathered the flour from the kitchen, while I went up my room to find some paint. I was surprise that Krista didn't notice Tommy, so we proceed for our plan.I put a waffle right in front of the devil’s door and after that, put some flour and green body paint inside the pail and hang it over the door. Tommy will be the one to let go of the rope once the devil come out while I prepare myself to pop the champagne at him.As the minutes passed by we grew bored but then we are surprised when the door suddenly open and the devil came out. I count one, two and three and then Tommy let go of the rope. We laugh at the sight in front of us. Here glaring at us was no other than, Caiden Cole ford soaked in green paint and flour. I pop the champagne and Tommy shouted " there is an alien in the house!" the devil glared at the two of us and we ran.We went to the kitchen and saw Krista doing the dishes. I pulled Tommy behind Krista but then the devil was fast enough and

•••Chapter SevenALEXI woke up and saw a very bright light. Hmm, am I in heaven? My eyes adjusted and I realized that I was lying on my hospital bed with an IV on my arm. I look down and saw the devil lying beside me. He was snoring slightly and it is quite funny to watch him. I flicked his nose and pulled on his ears but it was no use!I reached for the glass that was on top of my bedside table but was disappointed to see that was empty. No, I'm not gonna empty it on him, I need a drink for I was sure as hell that I sounded like a person suffering from a severe sore throat.Putting it back, I saw a figure which is just opening the door. I pause and looked at it. I saw Kobe and the twins entering the room. Kathy whispered something at him and in a minute, I saw his cheerful face turn into a furious one and he went next to me."Is he the one who made this to you? Is HE?!" He shouted. I cowered slightly and nodded my head. "Hmm, Well then"I thought he was going to let it pass but the

•••Chapter EightALEXAt last, I'm finally home. I have been hospitalized for two days because of the Devil. I ran upstairs to my room and lock my door. I really miss my room, the pink and purple dots dancing in my sky blue wall. Hey, I know it is pretty childish but it’s better that those white painted wall of the hospital. I jumped on my bed and almost landed below to the cold floor, but good thing I grab the sheets and that sent me back to my bed, bouncing as I do so. The bouncing soon stopped and it made me bored. I looked up and there I saw the painting of stars, which my mom made for me as a gift for my 7th birthday. Then I remembered something, Oh yeah! I went in my closet and rummaged through my things.At last I found it, It was my Summer-to-do-list book when I was nine. I look through the pages and laughed at it. I am going to re-do all of this again. I went out of my room and as if on cue the devil went out. I stuck my tongue at him and strode off downstairs, rode on my b

•••Chapter NineALEXThe wind blew on my hair and I squint my eyes for I don't want dust getting in it. I pulled out my handkerchief and tied it around my neck. Caiden looked at me and laugh. "Why are you laughing?!" I asked while looking at him incredulously."It's just, you look like a cowboy, with the wind effect, the handkie and your hair…" he said between fits of laughter. Well, I just brush him off and look at the sceneries as we passed by.My feet were sore because of standing too long in the back of this jeep. In the corner of my eyes, I could see Caiden leaning in the back of the jeep, probably dozing off.The reason why the two of us was here is because we picked the two short sticks and all I know is that it is planned.I wonder where we are going, Brighton beach was not far from here but we are travelling for about an hour already. The jeep stopped in front of a regular beach house which was designed with a very homey feeling. I jumped off and got my duffel bag. I traile
