"Told ya it wouldn't hurt to come out of your comfort zone" Kaser smiled
"Do you have your tumbler?" "yes." "extra snacks?" "yes khalil." "Do you have enough clothes? pepper spray? what about the switchblade i gave you-"

"Khalil, calm down. it's just a trip to savannah" Kaser smiled, calming his sister down.
"Well im sorry if im trying to keep ashlyn prepared. you never know what happens" khalil glared.

"you act more like a mom than our mom" kaser snickered while khalil swatted his head.

"You know he's right" Ashlyn spoke, slightly smiling.
"right.. Ash you got everything?" Khalil spoke as she faced ashlyn. Ashlyn nodded, Khalil smiled and patted her head

"stay safe." The siblings spoke while ashlyn waved good bye, approaching the bus.

earlier with Kaser and logan.

Kaser was putting some extra snacks in Logan's bag while logan gathered his clothes and folded it.

"Clothes.. food.. water bottle.. powerbank.. check. Uhh did we miss anything?" Kaser spoke, staring at logan.

"i don't think so," Logan smiled and placed his clothes in his bag.
"hmm, Alright." Kaser stood up and hugged logan.
"stay safe Miene liebe." Kaser smiled while logan hugged back
"i will." Logan spoke.

"i have to go now, you sure you'll be fine?" Kaser said as he pulled away from the hug, staring at logan.
"Mhm" Logan nodded.

Kaser smiled and kissed Logan's forehead. Logan smiled and stared at kaser.
"Stay safe. if anyone lays a hand on you, take the gun i put in your bag and aim for the forehead." Kaser spoke lowly. Logan hits kaser's arm, making kaser laugh.

"im kidding, kind of." Kaser smiled while logan shook his head.

Khalil was in her room, sleeping. while kaser was in their training room, punching the punching bag.

currently playing on spotify : Get Low - O SIDE MAFIA, BRGR.

Kaser continued training while the music blasted around the room.
The door opened, revealing Kevin, Their father.

"son? you hungry?" Kevin asked as he stared at kaser.
"not really, why?" Kaser spoke as he faced his father.
"Well, Me and your mom got a call. An urgent one-" "They need you to go back to france or germany?" Kaser cut his father off.

"they need me and your mom in germany." Kevin confirmed.
"Don't worry, I can take care of khalil.. except in cooking" Kaser spoke. Kevin smiled and nodded

"Our flight is this afternoon." Kevin said before walking out.

Kaser sighed as he walked out of the training room. He went to khalil's bedroom door and opened it.

As he walked in, a dagger was heading for his head. Kaser yelped and ducked down.
He slowly stood up and took the dagger out of the wall, slowly he faced khalil who had a deadly glare.

Khalil blinked and stared at him tiredly
"what the hell are you doing, i almost pierced a knife at your head." Khalil spoke, sitting up. Kaser threw the dagger back at her and she caught it before putting it down.

"Just gonna tell you that mom and dad are going to germany because of a business thingy." Kaser spoke before walking out, closing the door.

remind me to knock on the door next time. Kaser thought as he looked like his soul went out of his body.

"what." Khalil said, staring at their parents.

"They want us to stay..-" "for over a fucking year? are they even sane? mama you can't just-"

"Sweetheart. we know you're against this but we have to.. otherwise we'll go bankrupted. its either this or you'll quit your studies and pursue being a model." Their mother, abilene spoke. Khalil had a look of disbelief as she stared at their parents.

"why does every agency even want khalil? even though she rejected their offers many many times." Kaser asked as he sipped on his drink.

"They've seen how Khalil is on stage-" "still, that doesn't explain why they won't stop." Khalil cut their father off.

"Because deep inside, you know you've always wanted to be a model."

Khalil stared at them, she looked down at the floor. her hands forming into fists as she heaved a breath.

"whether i loved the idea of being a model or not. im not joining, nor will i ever join." Khalil spoke sternly.

She walked away and went to her room. locking herself in.

She sat on the floor, leaning against the door as she played Dilaw - Maki on spotify. her phone connected to her bluetooth speaker.

This is not how i want my life to go.

Khalil stared at the corner, where most of her art supplies are on. There stood, her unfinished sculpture.

khalil stood up and approached it.

She picked up her chisel and hammer before working on it. removing the excess.

It was a sculpture of her when she was a child.

Now playing...

ceilings - Lizzy McAlpine.

on spotify.

Khalil stopped in her tracks as she listened to the song. it reminded her memories with her old friends back in germany.

Khalil sighed and continued sculpting. making the skin of the sculpture smooth, even smoother than her cousin's cheesy pickup lines-

what am i even thinking about Khalil stared at nothing in flabbergasted. she shook her head and continued sculpting..

Im sorry you didn't achieve your dream of being a model. but atleast you achieved on being a sculpter. Khalil thought, smiling at her work.
it did look like her younger self.
