Same Stars Of Yesterday (book 2)

"Mission: Celebrate"

CXXXVIII.
~:•:~

Drew's POV:

Anybody can have bones in their closets~ The kind of bones that are remains of hidden corpses... And as for me, I hid the bones but the flesh is freely roaming outside the closet and it comes to me causing my resentment~ What if I bury it instead, would they still come back and take away the happiness of those I love??

...

"Brother Drew, do you think this song has touched his heart? I mean, I felt how much the song is yearning for an answer... An answer that we ever hoped for so long and what mom wanted to receive but was never given... Do you think he is just really heartless? Or is it true that he never felt the same way that mom loved him??"

I stopped playing 'Where Was The Love' on the piano and I was silent when we saw mom to have entered the living room. Drexie ran along to greet her of how her day was and seeing the two of them smile as if we are alright and all made me remember his face. That person whom I never want to hear about but I guess fate is playful and stubborn in a way. Thus, I have no choice but to create a barrier, a wall for protection so that I won't have to suffer seeing their tears fall again.

....

I simply opened my eyes only to behold the ceiling that I was never used to seeing and was different from my bedroom's ceiling. It was then that I realized that I happen to be at Dawn's place since we had a sleepover.

When I was to reach for my phone which I placed on top of a table, I felt a pair of limbs to have wrapped around me and it creeped me to realize that it was Ash.

Knowing so, I jerked away and pushed him aside that he even hugged a pillow and with his mouth opened. Is he breathing with his mouth?? He's so weird~ And now I feel creeped out~

"Aahhh~" I heard Ash likely sleep talking. "Yosh!"

I was surprised when he punched the air all of sudden with his arms and dropped them readily and he snored twice.

"Come....  Ba-back.... Soon..."

My eyebrows raised hearing his mutterings before I looked at the time on my phone. It showed 4:32 am, my usual waking time.

I stood up from the sleeping mat and folded my blanket placing it on the pillow before I glanced at the sleeping raven-haired boy who appeared like an octopus with the way he positioned himself already.

"I better cook breakfast..."

I walked pass the couch and saw Dawn and Locket still sleeping. Locket was even embracing Dawn at the moment and they seem to still be in their dreamland.

Before I headed to the kitchen, I decided to take a picture of the three as a memento. They sleep like a log and pose like children. I can't imagine how I ended up in this group but I guess it is fine.

I played a certain Mozart piece with my phone and I made sure not to raise the volume to wake up the three. I also began looking at the available ingredients I can use to cook something while emersing myself with the music.

A few minutes later and I was greeted by a pair of sapphire eyes whose arms crossed over her chest and who was leaning her back against the refrigerator. She was simply just watching me cook and I already averted my gaze after seeing her.
