Opposites Attract

Chapter 13 : Home

I was awake when we came back home. We entered the airport and everyone was there. Our parents, people from school. Even the news casters.

I run when I see my mother in the crowd. I hug her tight, I inhale her scent of Dolce and Gabbana perfume. "Oh darling, I missed you." She coos. "Mum, I missed you too!" I hug her tighter.

I let go to let her breathe, tears are spilling out from the corners of her eyes. "Where's the 2 little ones?" I ask my mom, referring to my two twin brothers. "At home, we'll head back in a while." My mom sighs and stares at my dirty face.

"What?" I ask. "Nothing", my mom cries more, "I love you!" My mom cries and hugs me again.

••• Harry's POV •••

I see the boys with Veronica, and I notice my mum in the crowd. I go to my mom first. "Harry!" My mum cries while she hugs me tight. "I missed you mum." I say. She pulls away and looks at me.

"Look at you! You're hair grown!" She chuckles. I look to see where Carmen went, I notice her hugging her mum and they're both crying.

"I'm gonna go see the boys real quick." I say, disconnecting with my mother. She nods. I walk over to the boys and Veronica.

I give a hug to each of them, Veronica was last. "Harry, I missed you." She hugs me. I step back in decline. "Sorry Veronica, I can't hug you." I say, knowing Carmen can look over here any second. "Why?" Veronica asks. "Nothing." I shrug and walk back to my mom.

"Can we go home now?" I ask my mum. "Yeah let's go." She says, walking next to me and patting my back.

••• Carmen's POV •••

"Mum, I'm tired. I haven't brushed my teeth, showered..." I trailed off. "Okay, let's get you cleaned." My mom chuckles while we head to get car.

She turns on the radio. The man over it speaks,

"Recently, we've found Carmen and Harry missing for almost 6 months. On an unknown island in Hawaii, they said. Tomorrow, Carmen and Harry will be interviewed on KBS radio. Tune in at noon to hear their stories"

, I pause. "Mum, I'm going to be on the radio tomorrow?" I freak out. She just sighs. "Yeah", she pauses, "You two are all over the news, worldwide too." My mum says when we appeared down a familiar street.

We pull into the drive way to a familiar house I haven't seen in a while. I close my door to step out and look at the house, it hasn't changed much.

"C'mon, the boys are waiting." My mum speaks. "okay." I mumble as my mom unlocks the door and a huge banner approaches me.

It read, WELCOME HOME CARMEN (: on it. My two little twin brothers come up and hug me. "Oh I missed you guys!" I screamed. "We missed you too!" They said in unison.

"Boys, let Carmen freshen up." My mum says. "Okay." They groan. "I'll be right back", I pause heading up the stairs, "Mum! Remember I need to get a phone this week!" I scream. "Okay hun!" My mum says back.

I go into my room, and everything was a blur. I remember all this. After a moment, I thought I was never going to see these stuff again.

I grab a new towel, and head into the shower. I turn it on and let the hot droplets go onto my body. It massages me, and I roll my eyes in pleasure.

After a shower, I let my hair go natural. I change into jumpers and tie my hair up. I guess today's a lazy day. I look at the clock sitting on my dresser, 12:58.

I run downstairs and my mom was cooking my favorite, Alfredo. "Ooh! It smells good." I smirk to myself. "Yup! I haven't ate this dish since you left", my mom got teary again.

"It's okay mum" I chuckle and rub her back. She stiffens up, "BOYS TIME TO EAT!" she calls. They run into the dining room and sit in their spots.

I sit across from my mum, and the tv runs. Yes, Harry and I are still all over the news.

"So, Carmen, since you've came back, I'd like to take you out!" My mum says. "W-what?" I ask, with a spoonful of noodles in my mouth. "Y'know, shopping! Mani pedis, makeup, things like that, we'll get your phone too!" My mom says, finishing her plate and putting it away. She does the same with my brothers' plates.

"Sure! Can I just go like this?" I ask, pointing to my clothes. "Whatever makes you comfortable" My mom freezes. "Follow me, I want to try something." My mom says, walking up the stairs.

I sit in a chair in her bathroom facing the mirror wall. She takes what I think is eyeliner. "Close your eyes." my mom says. I do what she says, I feel something glide against my eyelid.

I open my eyes as she says so, and look in the mirror. I looked older with this make up on. It made my eye pop, and the eyeliner winged out.

"Ah! You look so pretty! Let me do it to the other eye." My mom squeals. Has she always wanted to do this to me? But anyway, I thought I looked prettier too.

After she does that, she drops my brothers off to the neighbors for babysitting. She drives to the mall.
