Lana~“What do you think? Would everything be alright?” Sasha whispers beside me. I glance at her to see her staring at Ellie who stood a few feet a away from us, looking at the black painted gate.A sigh escaped my lips and I shrug, l genuinely hope things goes well but right now? We can only hope. We all woke up so early this morning and got dressed in our black outfit, not wanting to waste anymore time.Ellie was already out and waiting for Sasha and i when we got outside. We took a taxi to her house but unfortunately no one was there, which meant they were at the cemetery. Luckily there are only two cemeteries in Grenada. We saw someone who directed us to this cemetery, saying the family had to use this one.I shake my head, walking to Ellie who stood still outside the cemetery gate, not wanting face her fears just yet.I place my hand on her shoulders, feeling her flinch in my hold. She looks at me, eyes swollen from crying so much, face pale and thin."Come on, it’s time we go i

"It’s been years I last spoke to her. Did she tell you that?" Enrique asks, turning to look at Ellie and her brother. I share a glance with Sasha whose lips was puckered."Why don’t you go speak to her? Seems like you really want to talk to her. You miss her.” Sasha replied.Enrique looks at us, a sad smile displayed on his lips. "I- I don’t know how she would take it.” He whispers after a beat. I open my mouth to reply but got cut off by one of the attendees who wanted to greet the old man."Excuse me.” He says, stepping away from us. I sighed, turning to look at Sasha."This whole thing doesn’t sound well, it’s obvious he misses her terribly but he’s afraid she would shun him out.” Sasha tells me. I hum in agreement, wrapping my arm around my chest."I do hope they sort this issue out because they’re all suffering. I think it’s enough and time they stop.” I reply.Sasha reaches out to touch my arm, a comforting smile on her lips. "I want to“ she doesn’t get to complete her words as

Lana~I stepped out of the house, the night air breezing on my face. I shudder internally, placing my hands into my jacket to make them warm."Thank you very much,” Sasha says beside me, a wide smile laid on her lips."I should be thanking you girls. I- I know Ellie wouldn’t have been able to come here if you didn’t have something to do with it and for that, I’m grateful to you both for being able to help my daughter. I might have not known you for long but I can see you good people and I’m so thankful.” My heart felt warm from hearing Ellie’s father be so thankful to Sasha and I even though I don’t think we actually deserve that much credit. Yes, we came all the way to Grenada from New York to help Ellie but taking the decision to come here is all on her, none of us influenced that decision."We should get going now, it’s already so late,” I say. Ellie’s dad nods, humming in agreement."Please take care of Ellie, even though we would be seeing her tomorrow, it’s just…” I trail off, no

Lana~I step into the house, a such escaping my lips as I turn on the light. Finally, I’m in my home. My body feels like it’s been run over severally but at least I’ll finally be able to cuddle in my bed and just rest.I kick my slippers off, drop my bags on the couch, and walk towards the kitchen, turning on the light and pulling the refrigerator door open. I took out a bottle of cold water, poured it into a glass cup, and gulp it in a go.Father’s words from earlier came rushing into my head. He wants to see me and he wants us to talk. Really, I don’t even understand what’s going on anymore. Father says mother would be coming back to his house to rest for her recovery. I still don’t understand how she got injured if she’s supposed to be Traveling according to what she told me but then again, seeing the forlorn gazes they shared, I didn’t want to ask.My phone began to ring loudly, jolting me out of my reverie. I walk out of the kitchen, going straight to the couch where my bag sat.

Lana~Unfortunately, i found t hold back, right there and then in the taxi taking me back home, my resolve crumbled.“Miss, are you okay?” The driver asks, our eyes meeting through the rear view mirror.“Huh? Yes, I’m fine.” I reply but he didn’t look convinced. I couldn’t help but wonder how crushed my face must look if he looks this worried and just at that moment, did I feel the dampness on my cheeks. Slowly raising my hand to feel the tear that trickled down my chin.Oh, I’ve been crying and I didn’t even realize it.I hurriedly wipe the tears tricking down my chin now looking out the windshield. ‘I’ll be okay, I’ll be okay.' I mutter like a chant inside my head."We’ve arrived ma’am.” The drivers voice broke me out of my reverie. I blink twice, looking up to see that we’ve truly arrived at my house. I paid the driver and got out of the car, attempting to walk into the gates when the driver calls me back.“Miss.” He says, smiling rather softly at me. "Everything goes.” He tells m
