Chloe's
Hmm. We all know you're wondering how come I have lived on my own, right?
Well, I have my own house. Yes, my house. Me and my brother, we have our own house and lot, even money. That's how our parents struggle for us.
My relatives somehow abandoned me but, not really. I understand I can't stay with them yet sometimes, they visit me here.
I can still smell the abiding scent of his jacket.
Luke's jacket.
This is what happened awhile ago in school...
"Well, you have me!"
"Oh." My answer seems too short, it really is too short but how will I answer him when I'm struck with his words?
"A cupcake! Gimme some!"
"Uhm, n-no. That's my-"
"Woah. Do you have your own pastry shop?"
"Nah. Why?"
"It tastes... Uhmm."
His expression turned a bit disappointed.
"What?" I'm nervous.
"I envy you. Your cupcakes are just so delicious, Chloe!"
"But why's your face like that?"
"Just thinkin' how'd you did this cupcake. Seems like I've tasted this before."
Before? How come?
"Uh, Luke, I need to go back to the room. Bye."
When I was about to stand, he suddenly hold my hand which made me stop immediately.
Why is this happening? Have we met before? Why is he affecting me that much?
I removed my hand.
"What?"
"Uh, no classes already. The teacher announced it at the room but then, when the bell rang, you immediately went away."
Okay. This is awkward.
"Thanks. So, I'll just roam around then."
"Wait!"
Before he could say anything else again, I immediately headed to the garden at the rooftop.
Finally. I'm alone.
Fresh air...
I braided my hair. This is unusual. I really don't braid my hair. I just do this when I'm alone.
"This place really is so refreshing."
Suddenly, I felt raindrops on my skin.
Oh sht. It's raining!
When I turned my back, I bumped into someone.
And wore me his jacket, he's almost hugging me.

Holding me closer until our eyes meet~
His eyes... Just like the eyes of my little brother..
I miss him so much.
You won't ever be alone~
Really? I won't be alone?
This song...
Again..
"What were you thinking, Chloe?! Come on, we'll get wet here."
He held my hand and ran.
The touch of his hand really reminds me of something that I don't remember.
How did he know that I'm here?
We ended up in the music room.
Music room...
Which makes me remember about my past again.
"Chloe, let's stay here first. The rain's pouring so hard."
His jacket made me comfortable.
Later on, I heard someone strung the guitar.
And he played the song...
That I despised the most..
Which made me left the room without even saying a word to him.
His jacket made me realize that There will be a time when the things you don't expect will be in your way and will make you comfortable in times of the noise and coldness you hear and feel just like the pouring rain outside.
