"I remembered you saying you want to go on a painting spree with your friends one day.. Now here we are!"Philips bowed and stretched out his right hand playfully

"Thank you man"Hayden grinned

"Here!"Phillips handed a drawing apron to Hayden and the others"wear this drawing apron so as not to dirty your clothes..And..Hmm take the spray paint, brushes.. Oh,whatever you need for painting is inside the bag, already!..The walls are cleaned and smoothened too..So,time to paint!"He said excitedly

"Wooh"they all cheered and wished Hayden'Happy birthday' again

"Are you enjoying this?"Mia walked over from her previous spot..She crossed her arms and smiles at Hayden who's whistling while spraying paints on a clean and smooth wall

"Of course.. I've been wanting to do this for long but I've got no time to..Thank you guys!"Hayden appreciated his friends effort with a sincere and happy smile on his face!

"It's nothing!"Mia smiled in satisfactory as she watches Hayden paints with a smile

 Hayden eyes her up and down in bewilderment"You're not painting anymore?"

 Mia suddenly sat on the green grass and folded her legs"nah..I'm not!".. because I feel happy watching you!'she replied but completed the sentence in her mind



"Okay.."he nodded and continue painting and drawing whatever is on his mind



 "Wooh"Philip sneaked and screamed at Hayden's ear which caused Hayden to jump up and threw away the brush in his hand due to shock

"What the fuck,man?"Hayden covered his chest and glared at Philips"You scared me!"

"Did you have to throw that brush on my head?"Philip sulked while cleaning away the paint liquid that stained his hair and clothes..he raised his head and the picture he saw made him yell in eagerness"Hey guys,have you seen the picture Hayden just drawn?"

"What?"Mason ran forward"Waoh..a human?is that your brother?"he asked with eagerness

"It's nobody!"he replied with aloofness then use a white paint to splash and ruin his new painting

"Why do you spoil it?You haven't drawn the man's face yet"Mason sulked



"How do you even know my painting is about a guy?I'm not even done painting!"he replied and dropped the brush

"So is that a girl?"Craig asked curiously

"Hayden you have a girlfriend?"Mia stood up in shock

"You guys like assuming rubbish !I'm just drawing whatever is on my mind..I dunno who it is or what it is..and.. besides I don't have siblings..I'm the only child of my parents"he clarified

"Okay!"the guys replied but they all know Hayden is hiding somethings especially when it comes to who he is

 Mia smiled in happiness..thank God he doesn't have a girlfriend"let's not spoil the mood..i think we have overtimed the painting already!let's go home!"

"Wooh!"all the guys except from Hayden cheered so as to uplift the already depressing mood

 Hayden remained quiet throughout the ride back home.Caleb pulled him back immediately the other guys including Mia entered the mansion"Are you alright?"he asked Hayden

"Of course, I am!"he replied with a wide smile

"Do you think I'll believe that?I've been watching you throughout the ride back home"Caleb revealed

"Oh.. I know but I can't tell you anything for now!"he revealed with a bitter smile

"Is that guy(the pic Hayden drawn) the reason you have been taking medication?"

"What medication?"Hayden asked with a frown



"Hayden, I know you've been hiding something from us but just know that whenever you need a shoulder, I'll be there for you always!"Caleb patted Hayden's shoulder and gave Hayden a small smile then entered the mansion

"I can't tell you I messed up ,can I? I hurt him too!"he shook his head bitterly and quickly entered the mansion

"Hayden"Mia clasped her hand around Hayden's arm.She has been super excited after hearing that Hayden doesn't have girlfriend..And she has planned to make Hayden her's no matter what

"Hm?"he stylishly remove her hand from his

 She quickly grabbed Hayden's arm and pouted"Where have you been?"

"Chatting with Caleb!"he gave a weak smile

"About what?"she looked into his eyes

 Damn the inquisitiveness !!He quickly spin a white lie"how I'm pleased with the birthday celebration..it was the best!"



"Yeah!"she said excitedly and walked away from Hayden"Caleb..Caleb!"

"Yeah"Caleb's voice rang from the innermost part of the room

"Where's the box?"She asked impatiently

"Coming!"Caleb replied and he quickly appeared before her with a box"Hayden?"

"Yeah?"Hayden walked over and picked up a paper from the box"Picnic at the beach!"

 They spent the early afternoon at the beach and later went to a concert arranged by Mia.Mia played a newly composed song written by her in dedication to Hayden

"Can we not go?"Hayden said in exasperation..He has been trying to convince his friends after picking up'Party at the club!'paper

"No!You picked it up yourself so why won't we go?And it's finally my chance to celebrate your birthday!"Caleb pouted

"I know but.."Hayden tried to explain



Mascon cut in"Trust us, nothing is going to happen and you're not a minor anymore.So why are you afraid?"

"I'm a lightweight!"Hayden confessed

"That doesn't mean you can't go to the club!"

 At the end of the day, Hayden was brainwashed by his friend until he promised to go to the club with them

"Wooh.. Hayden ,I promised.. you'll enjoy yourself at the Exspresso the best club in Grail State!"Caleb replied eagerly

 Hayden snorted and walked away

"That old man ,can't he seriously rest for a day?Why does he has to meet at the club this evening? Especially when he just landed!"Jude pouted angrily

"How do you know he is an old man?"Zenos raised an eyebrow and muttered silently to himself

"And why are you complaining?"Sean asked"Is it because he wants to meet us this evening or he wants to attend the club?And besides,why are you annoyed??The man who left his country 1 week ago and has probably been in the plane since then is willing to meet us without complain..."



"Who said I'm complaining about the time??"Jude cut in"I'm complaining about the club!"

"Wait..which club are we attending?Is it bad?"David asked
.
"No,it's not bad.He asked us to meet as Exspresso club,one of the best in Grail State !"

"Then that's fine!"David replied

"I know but Zenos, are you going to be fine?"Jude asked worriedly

 The other guys finally understand what Jude is worrying about.They turned and looked at Zenos worriedly but the reply he gave them almost make them choke.

He frowned and glared at them"Did I complained sickness to you??"
