Neil took Ian home. Nana see Ian being carry by Neil. She felt worried. She meet them halfway. Nana Elaine saw her, and she could feel what have happen to her. Nana ask Neil to bring her to the room. Neil took her into her room, gently lay her in the bed. Nana follow Neil to Ian's room. Nana Elaine went to Ian's bathroom and look for her medicine. She give medicine to Ian and made her drink it.

Ian get up after drinking the medicine, she saw them worry, " I need to change my clothes to pajamas so i can sleep comfortably". She explain.

They allowed her to change. Nana and Neil leave the room after Ian come out in the batthroom. Neil look at Nana Elaine, before speaking, " I have failed, I should not take off my eyes on her. This would not happen."

Nana Elaine hug him. Comforting him. "Its ok..no one is mad..just be careful next time.. we are lucky nothing happen," she said. Nana look at the time, "you should rest, stay here and go home tomorrow morning, and call your parents that you will stay here". after she said that leave him. Nana goes to up to Ian room to check on her. She entered her room. Nana properly tuck her in. Before going to her own room down stairs.

Neil was left alone in the kitchen. He goes to the room he usually use, in Ian's house. After changing in comfortable clothe's he called his parents sayin' that he will stay in Ian's place.

Ian is having a dream.She was looking at Noah's face, there faces were inches away. When his face come closer to her. She could see his brown eyes, sharp pointed nose, his long eyelashes and his lips. Even when his forehead was furrowed while looking as her. She could see warmth in his gaze. it seemed to calm her down, her fear subsided. But when someone hugs her. Her body stiffen. Ian could hear him callling her name, she could not move in fear. But he repeatedly called her name. A familiar voice. She is calm in her dream. But outside her dream she was sweating and speaking.

Neil hear a moaning. He feel worrried. He get out in his room. Neil did not make any sound as he try to find whose making those noise. He panic when he realize that the noises he hear were coming from Ian's room. He went inside. Neil come closer to her bed. He shake Ian to wake her up. After a few shake Ian eyes open. She was looking around.

Ian called his name. He replied, "yes, It is me", he said. Neil give her a glass of water to calm her. Ian take a few sip, while drinking Neil hold her hands. He is caressing it. Ian smile at him, before laying on the bed again. Neil sit near to her head and he caress her head.

Ian eyes start to feel heavy again. Fight her urge to fall asleep again, "I'm sorry for bothering your sleep,". Ian faintly smile.

"Your not a bother, taking care of you makes us happy. So next time don't feel that way." Neil replied while he gently stroking her hair. Neil could see that Ian is starting to drift away. He smile seeing her fast asleep like a baby. 'I think she will look like this when she was sleeping'. He smile bitterly.

She hide under her covers, when she felt a ray of light. Its not that warm but she feel sleepy. She open her eyes and peak outside her cover. Ian look for her cellphone. She see it on her beside table under her lampshade. She took it and look what the time. Upon seeing the time. Ian sit in her bed and do some stretching. She fix her bed before going out her bedroom. She went straight to the kitchen. She hug her Nana Elaine. "Good morning Nana". She greet her sweetly.

Nana mess her hair. Ian untagle her hand she walk to counter table. Nana serve her food.

Ian eyes sparkle upon seeing her breakfast, "its chocolate waffle and hot chocolate!" she claim. Ian slice the waffle. While eating she remember her cousin. "Nana, where is Neil?"

"He went home early, and he said that don't forget to wear your wristwatch, if you plan to go out". Nana replied.

Ian nod while eating. After finishing her breakfast, she went back to her room. She don't have plans. She want to stay in her bed. But she don't have anything to read. Since she is bored. Ian choose to come out and go to the mall. She wear a comfortable clothes. She is wearing a jeans and a white shirt plus a rubber shoes. She let her hair down. She did not forget to wear her wristwatch.

She ride the bus, going to the mall. On the way, she put her headset and play her favorite song. While looking outside the window. She remeber her dream, 'why i feel it really happen, and his smell linger on my mind..his fresh smell, he does have trace of sweat but he still look fresh, its manly but not hurting her nose..even his breath i can smell mint..in her dream..its a fucking dream..but why do i feel this way..its frustrating me..oh i got an idea.. to prove that its only a dream.. i will search for that smell..' she said to herself.

MALL. Ian walk alone in the mall. She is embarrassed to text her new friends, and so they might be busy too. And it is also embarrassing to go with them searching for a certain perfume that i didn't know the name. 'i'm only doing this to prove that its only a dream..my fantasies..' her brain said, her words hurt her. She sigh while walking. "Noah .." she wispered. She look around if someone heard her. Her cheeks turned red. While looking around, 'i wish i dont look weird.'

She stopped in front of a book store. She went in, her eyes roam around finding the isle for manga. She smile upon seeing its isle, 'there are so many choices, can i just get it all?'

She is busy fighting on her brain. Whe she heard a familiar song.

'I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong'

 She search her bag. She was right, her phone is ringing. Her eyesbrow furrowed. 'Speaking of the devil' she said. 'I think i know why he called ..' she said to her self. She gulp before answering his call.

 "Hello big brother" she said chearfully.

 "Mary Jillian Yu Monteverde!" Her brother said with dangerous tone.

 "Older brother, you dont have to shout..i know my name" she joke.

"You know what you did, and what happen last night." He said then he continue, " and I know what you are planning to do. Don't you dare to buy the whole isle!" He exclaim.

 "How did you know? Are you around?" She ask. She leave tye isle and look around. She felt defeated. She return to the original stand. She forgot she was holding her phone in her ear. And she was talking to her brother.

 "You look stupid. You forgot that your accessories have tracking device. And I know where you are. Thats why i guess what you about to do" he said to her.

" I'm just looking for a certain perfum. But I dont know what brand so i choose to buy book instead." Ian explain.

He sigh in defeat, "Ok. Take care. Just buy few not the whole stand. I wont tell mom and dad what happen. But i dont want it to happen again." He said with worried tone.

 "Aye sir!" She said. Her brother end the call. She took few books, manga. She roam around. Check few store that have perfume. But still she cant find it. Since she cant find it, she choose to go home.
