I got messages from old friends at my email.

From: Hayley Grace

From: Evan Blu
Hey ;) so, you going? Just give me a call if you going or what. I'll be waiting for you okay? Hahahaha I have some things to tell you.

It's been years since I last showed up to anyone of them ever since I found out that Isaac has cancer but doctors said it was still cureable so we flew to europe for his therapy and since then I haven't gave even a single word to any of my friends even Evan who back then confessed to me that he liked me and he was willing to take over Isaac's place when he's gone but I declined the offer considering that he was his best friend and he is a very good friend but I loved Isaac back there. I tried keeping distance from him but he kept pushing that distance away from the both of us.

"Babe? Are you okay? What's up?" Isaac said with a huge grin on his face. He is actually cured from his grave danger and we are trying to figure things out again.

"Yeah. Just a couple of friends emailed me."

"Oh. So, are you going?" My smile faded.

"I don't know if they'll still accept me." I said trying to look down to avoid drama.

"Of course they will. Do you know why?" He lifted my chin up to his face. "Because you're Olivia Jeam Campo. And everybody loves you and they surely miss you and I think they are very exited for your homecoming."

"Why?"

"Because I have tickets for our flight back and you are going whether you like it or not." He pulled the tickets out from his back. "Pack your bags, we're going home." I hugged him as tight as I can.

"Thank you babe. You are the best." I said as I let go of him and started packing my bags. "Wait." I said suddenly stopping.

"What is it?" He went in closer.

"What about Mom and Dad?" He cupped his hands on my cheeks.

"Olivia, you're already 20. You're parents will be fine okay? We won't be long." I nod and wemt back to packing.

We finally arrived Manila. I missed the aroma of home sweet home. I just stood there like there was something blocking my way.

"Babe, aren't you going to start walking?" I giggled and started my pace to the taxi.

"We should get to the hotel now, I'm tired."

"Maybe we should get busy then." He wiggled his eyebrows and I smacked him in the arm.

"Not funny."

"Sorry Olive." He hugged me close and gave me his weird puppy eyes but I pushed him away.

"Fine. I'm just very tired." I just hugged him back.

Hey Olivia. The event is tonight :) I wished at 11:11, the shooting star, every eyelash that falls on my eyes and every candle on every birthday cake just for the day to come and you'll show up maybe even just for Hayley because she missed you so much even though she might not make it through, I wish not because I want this to be memorable. Hope to see you later Olivia.
