Who knew that love may be a sword of two edges. It could make you happy and on top of the world, but it could also make you feel a thousand feet underground. And that if you love someone from afar. Silently.
Dean Dawson, he loved her like no one wou...
We're going back to our old place , I missed it and I'm really excited for that, but I'm not ready to see my old friends. I just don't know if we'll be the same after all these years.
"How are you feeling sweetie?"
Sometimes I don't even know my own feelings, and mom insists on asking me how I feel. I hate that question. I don't say that to her though.
"Excited " I giggle knowing that she's waiting for this answer that i've been telling her a thousand times before.
I swear my mom is packing A month before our travel. She's excited to see her friends who are my friends' parents. She's been talking to them since morning, telling them about everything. Including how i fell in one of her flower bushes last night . I love seeing my mom happy.
It has been 5 years and a half since we left there. I was 13 years old, I didn't want to be away from my friends. They were considered my second family.
But my father said that we have to go due to his important business.
And now we're heading back because i got accepted in Stanford college, which is amazing.
But the thing is that I'm so nervous since I didn't maintain contact with my friends except Cora.
We were 5 friends, my bestfriend Cora, her twin brother Jayden, Aiden and Dean. Well, I remember that i had a little crush on Aiden, he was nice to me, maybe that's why i liked him, or in fact i liked the attention that he was giving me.
I remember that day when everyone was crying, Cora was crying her eyes out, She is the kind of sister I had always hoped for. We always played together, studied together, i even remember we were always matching outfits. I laughed at that memory.
Aiden was crying and hugging me all day Saying he is going to miss me.
Even Dean was sad.
Yeah the grumpy one.
I was surprised actually. Since i always felt like He hated me, I don't know why though. His actions always left me confused, I don't think i did something wrong to him.
Although, he was a bit protective, when i get injured or when i cry, He was always there whenever i wanted help. so I didn't know what to feel about him.
He was literally like a mystery that no one can solve.
"Are you ready? Our plane is in 1 hour" My father says as he came down the stairs. He has 2 luggage in his hands, I assume it's my mother's clothes.
She's busy with packing kitchen's tools, the things that she's interested in. Mom is an excellent cook, i call her chef sometimes just to see her wide smile.
"Yeah" my mom sighs as she taped the boxes. I've packed my clothes and shoes, But now I'm packing my books, the most important thing in my life- after mom and dad of course - they are a whole different world. My world.
When i tell someone that i love reading they be saying that reading a romance novels doesn't count, but little do they know that i don't read romance.
I read mysteries. I love reading mysteries that Requires deep thinking.
"Come on julia" dad yelled from outside the house. I taped the box that contains my books, carrying it and heading towards the front door.

We have landed now in California , As soon as I saw the beautiful weather, the anxiety that had been stressing me all the way on the plane faded away.
It's the first of August, hot but worth it.
"Elena wait here baby, I'm gonna call Alex" Dad says giving mom a kiss on the cheek. Alex used to be our driver years ago. Probably he's gonna take us to our hometown.
"U know julia, Olivia told me that the children had a heart attack when they knew yesterday" mom shifted her attention back to me when dad's gone. Olivia is Dean's mother, she was the closest to mom, and as i can see she still is.
"Mom we're not children anymore" I complained raising my eyebrows. Is she literally calling an 18 years old group of teenagers children?!
"You're always a child in my eyes, my baby" I rolled my eyes at her, knowing that i like it when she says that.
Will never admit it though.
"She said that they are so excited, Cora thought it was a prank at first" a smile spreads across her face.
"And also" she laughs "Jayden wanted to make a cake for you but he ended up burning the kitchen" mom continues as she giggles.
"Oh really,that's actually funny" i giggle imagining how funny the situation is. Sometimes imagining things would make it funnier than it actually seems.
I see my dad coming as he ended the call, "he'll be here in 15 minutes" he wrapped an arm around my shoulder pulling me closer to his chest.
