Invisible

Chapter 45

"Welcome to Philippines. Thank you for flying with us."

There it is again. The familiar mellow sound of the flight attendant's voice spoke and echoed through the speakers in the plane. After a long time, I finally got back in the country where good and bad memories happened. I sighed as I pulled the single earphone off and adjusted my sunglasses.

I looked at my friends who were all ready to go out of the plane. I sighed at them, "Just so you know, guys, Philippines is a tropical country and it's scalding in here, just reminding." I said. "Telling you to take off your jacket is a friendly advice from me."

"Wow, this place is huge!" Grace exclaimed as she looked from the plane's window. "I don't know, but Britain's airports are also large, but I think I like this platform is more," she commented. "It's awemazing," she said the word again and I just smiled at her.

"Can we stay a little longer?" Jersey asked Hannah who was at the front of the plane. "I'm still a little out of this world, meaning sleepy! And standing up from this chair seemed to be the hardest thing in the world, Hannah." She whined.

"Sure, anytime you're ready," she noted, "This is your plane, anyway," she smiled at all of us but her smile towards me was a little different. If you'll ask me, it was a smile that shows more of concern. Another sigh escaped my mouth at the realization that I am back.

Parry shifted in her seat to be near me. "You okay?" she asked me.

"What?" I answered her with a question. "Of course, I'm fine. Do I look like a total jet lag to you?" I asked her with a laugh and she just chuckled lowly.

"Stupid, that's not what I meant," she said, "I mean, you're here, aren't you bothered?" she asked me. "And another thing, we're staying here the longest. A month? Do you think that's good?" she asked me again.

"Why should I be bothered?" I asked her. "We are here for the Filipino fans, Parry. Not to be too much of a drama diva." I told her. "And besides, I loved this country, nevertheless. I miss my friend in here, I would introduce him to you. I'm sure you'll like him," I said, "Oh and another thing, of course I'm cool in staying here for a month. I mean, helping charities is our band's thing, so I don't really care at the length."

"Wow, too much for the girl who nearly got angry to Grace when she mentions your sex experience," she noted.

I shook my head. "I mean, yes I am affected on that one. I mean, I was bedded, shouldn't that be a big deal?" I asked her. "And another fact that adds to the feeling is that I gave my all to the wrong man."

"You regret it?" she asked me and I smiled.

I thought of it for a while. Was giving my virginity to Darren is regretful? Was giving my all to the man I once loved is something wrong? The way my heart leaped uncomfortably inside my body said otherwise.

"How could I ever regret something that once made me happy and satisfied?"

When Jersey finally thought about getting out of the plane, all of us went to the hotel we'll be staying in for the mean time until the concert. Right after the concert, we'll be having some sort of a separation for a while since I thought paying my mom and aunt a visit would be good and Parry said she wants to be with me. The twins and Hannah chose to stay in the said hotel and do adventures of their own. I even gave them places that would be ideal for them to visit.

They took all of our stuffs and we were brought to the room we'll be staying at. Actually, scratch the room thing coz this hotel place I am in is more of a mansion! It's massive. I mean, I've been in big hotels too, but this place, really? Am I really going to live in here for a week?
