Finding You

Chapter 18

Mike's POV

"Will it work?" Dawn asked.

"I don't know. But we should try." Gary replied. We were now engaged in diverting grandma Grace from finding mom and dad. Mom and dad had already left to see the fireworks, but we need to be cautious so that grandma wouldn't just go towards then.

"Alright Mike, listen to me very carefully. The police don't know you since you don't live here. And it would be difficult for Grace to recognize you. Now you have to distract her." Gary replied to which I nod.

"And what about you both?" I asked.

"Oh, we? Uh...." Dawn paused looking towards Gary.

"Um... we... YES! We will help you if you need any help from behind." Gary replied.

"Yeah! Yeah... that." Dawn said, but with a slow voice. Now that's kind of sus.

"Hmm, alright." I said and started walking towards grandma.

"You know, I think I can do is li- "I stopped as I turned around and saw they both just disappeared from there. I then noticed both of them walking towards the hill. BRUH, I am 100% sure they are going to see the fireworks, leaving me.

I took a small sigh and smiled. I guess, I have to do this on my own. I started walking towards her and grabbed one of the free beverages that someone was giving in a nearby counter. As I was about to reach her, I intentionally crashed onto her, leading the beverage to fell on her dress.

"Oh my god! My dress." Grandma said with shock as she realised what had happened.

"Oh! I am sorry mam! I was not paying attention. I am so sorry!" I acted.

"No, never mind. Please try now to pay attention while walking. Oh god, my dress." She said, while trying to see where all her dress had been affected.

"Um, there's a washroom over there. You can go and wash it there." I said while pointing towards the direction where the washroom is farthest away.

"Ok..." she said and started leaving, but suddenly she turned around.

"Have we ever met each other?" she asked. Oh shit!

"N-no! I guess, you're thinking of the wrong person. I don't even live here. it's just I have came here for some work with my... teacher." I replied. She stood totally having a suspecting face. But then, she just did a small shrug.

"Alright." She said.

"I am again sorry!" I said.

"It's ok. Just... just try to be more careful." She said and left. That's surprising. I thought I am goanna listen much more. That's surprising. I guess, she's just thinking about mom.

As looked around and didn't saw any cops around. I brushed off my shoulders and started walking towards the hilltop where others were.

As I was walking, I just noticed the photo frame that mom and dad gave me. It's been around 3 days I have been here. and soon, I will be going back to my present. Before I go, it's my responsibility to make mom and dad together and warn them about the accident. It's my job, and I will do it.

As I walked towards the hilltop, I could hear the people cheering. I guess the fireworks are about to start.

As I was to reach the hillside, long red colour firework went up high in the sky and blasted to a form a huge ball. I guess, the fireworks have started.

Soon, more and more fireworks started launching up in the air one by one. The sky, which seemed to be silent all the time suddenly started glowing with different colours and the night dark turns into a beautiful spring sky with red, yellow and green colour sky.
