On the way towards our hotel , I was looking out the window of our car, we were passing through the familiar parts of  the city. It brought back all the bad memories that I have faced. My eyes became blur, a tear drop fell on my cheek . Till then I did not knew I was crying. I slowly wiped my tears as I don't want anyone to see me like this because I want them to have fun rather them pulling them into my mess. I felt a hand on my knee, I knew it was Abby's. I looked at him and  forced a smile. he returned my smile but I could sense the sadness in his eyes as well, because they were teary and kind of lost.

Out of the many things, one thing that we both had in common is that we both had a very bad past in California and they are linked to my parents and we can understand each other how much it hurts.

we passed through the part of the town and reached the beach houses. I always dreamt of having a a house near a beach and go for a walk at nights bare foot, kicking the sand, water brushing my legs. this place can really be a stress buster .

we passed through many houses when we finally came to an end of the road, very big gate stood in front of us Nash typed in the password and the doors opened to get us a clear view of the house. It was huge was an understatement. although the walls are made of glass we could not see inside the house maybe because they were tinted. when we entered the house we were greeted by a elderly women who looked to be in her sixties.

" hello lovelies, how are you. its been soo long I haven't seen you. all are soo grown up looking very handsome and very beautiful." That is when she noticed us whom she never met. 

"And who are these lovely ladies and handsome men I haven't met before." All of us smiled at how kind and sweet she is. Before I could talk Nash beat me to it and introduced us to the old lady

hello Mrs. Langston. It is good to see you too. we missed you a lot and they are my friends who will be staying with us for the vacation. He went forward and hugged her later the rest of them followed him because by what we understood they already know each other. 

"How many times have I told you to call me Ronnie "

But we were clueless on what to do because we are meeting her for the first time. On seeing our expression she replied " come on kiddos now your are a part of the family too. you are welcome to give this old lady a hug. when she saw Xavier in Sansa's hands who is fast asleep she gushed about how cute he is and also offered to help and  take care of him for the rest of the day.

after everyone hugged her,  she spoke again "ohk children you must have been tired from the journey have some rest I will call you for dinner in an hour or so."

we all thanked her again, took our  bags and headed for the rooms upstairs. Nash guided us to each room and gave us a chance to decide on which ever bedroom we wanted.

"There are 10 bedrooms in total all facing the beach expect mine and . . ano. another room he stuttered while saying about the other room." I also saw the change in everyone's expression but I did not make an attempt to ask him what happened and he continued.
