"Wh-what do you mean by you're moving?" he ask slowly. "I'll be either moving to a new neighbourhood or to another country, or stay with my grandparents," 

I heard him gasp a little before saying, "But why? This cannot be happening. I don't want to lose you.." 

Wait, did I hear that correctly? He didn't want to lose me? Why? He could find a better girl than me. I'm no use. I'm a weak, horrible person. "But.. if I'm gone, you can find a new girl to replace me.. and you might have more fun with her, or find some guy friends. Just don't worry about me," I reassure him though everything I said hurts me so much. I don't want to lose him either, nor seeing him with other girls. Well of course he is in a band and a lot of girls love him.. he is famous. 

"Don't say that.. you're the best friend I ever had since we moved in here," he pause for awhile then say, "even though you had been through a very rough time, I learned more about you and also tried to help.. I just can't let this friendship end,"  

I saw a tear slip down his cheeks and quickly he wipe them away but more kept streaming out. 

"Don't cry Toby.. you're making me sad and feeling so.. guilty about this," my hand suddenly reach the back of his back and slowly rub up and down to calm him. Okay I didn't gave permission to do that. But before I could stop myself- wait my hand, my body just went charging

to his and I wrap my arms around him. 

What on earth am I doing?! Stop it Rose! 

I slowly slip my hands apart from his waist, but he grab hold of them and make them stay there. Butterflies started to form inside my stomach and this weird tingly feeling. "Will I ever see you again still?" he ask quietly.

"I don't know... but we still can communicate with each other through the internet? Right?" I said. "Yeah.. but I'll probably be busy with music and some concerts that we'll be performing.." he said.

"Well.. then we'll try!" I said cheerfully, trying to lighten up the mood because I couldn't stand it anymore. It fills like I'm underwater and someone just plunged me into it, not letting me go to get some fresh air.

"Haha, you're too cute Rose," he turn his head to the side and uses one of his hand to pinch my cheeks.

"Rose! Rose!" my mum has come home already. So soon? Usually she'll be home around 10. "Rose!" she opens the door and I just lay in bed shock because she usually would knock on it..

"Erm.. yes?" I ask her, my fingers suddenly turned cold like ice. "Why didn't you tell me about it?" she said with sadness overwhelming her. I knew she was going to talk about this.. plus my grandparents are here!

"Annabeth? Please tell us when did this started? We really want to help," my grandma came in my room and sat down on my bed.

I sigh heavily and told them everything. From the very first day of high school till now. I knew I couldn't hide this thing forever, I knew they would find this out eventually. My secret, is not so a secret anymore.

"Rose.. I'm very disappointed in you, you should have told me this from the very beginning," her voice was stern and I know where this was going, "Mum.. I'm sorry! Please just don't make me move to a new house or stay in another country! I'm completely fine! I can handle this, I am capable of helping myself! I'm not a young girl anymore, I'm a grown up.." I beg her with pleading eyes, hoping this would work.

"No, I can't let you stay here, tremble in fear and being like this almost every single day!" she shouted.

"Calm down girls! The neighbours can hear you!" my grandma cut in our argue. She looked at us with a straight face and then say, "Sweetie, go and take a bath, I'll go talk to Annabeth alone.. just to calm her,"

"Alright then," was all my mum said before shutting the door. "Grandma! Please don't let her make us move! I can't.." I pleaded to her. "Now Annabeth, your mum is right. You could have told her about this, ever since it started. She doesn't want you to be sad, she tries her best to make a living for you when your dad was gone. She is the only person who only could earn money to pay the household bills and to cook to," she said as she gently stroke my hair. 

My grandma is right.. she is the only person who is working. I should be a good daughter and listen to her. "But.. what about the next door neighbour? He is my friend. My only friend I ever had. Also my new friend that I met her in a convenient store.. I can't just leave them like that grandma," a tear slip down my cheek. 

"I know Annabeth.. you don't want to lose them just like that. I get your point, it's hard to let them go when you just find the perfect friend.  And you would also miss home very much too. But I'll go and try to talk to your mum alright? Now you go and take your shower," she shooed me away and I just giggle. My grandma is the best... 

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

"Knock, knock?" I look up from what I was reading and saw my grandpa already in his pj's. "Oh hi grandpa, what brings you here?" I ask him nicely with a sweet smile form on my lips. "Oh nothing Annabeth, just checking if you're alright," he said, my grandparents are seriously the best. I don't know what I'll do without them comforting me.

"I'm fine.. do you want to come in?" I said, "Don't mind if I do," he walk in and sat down beside me on my bed. "So.. your mum and grandma had told grandpa everything that happen today," he said. 

"Oh.. but I don't want to talk about it.. it's the past already.." 

"I know that but I just want to say, why don't you try with your grandpa and grandma? We would love to have your company.. And your cousin also would want to see you too!" his cheerfulness lights up the room, filling it with joy and happiness. 

"So you want me to go back to California with you guys? Are you serious?" I ask him and pinch myself to check if I'm having a dream or if he was joking around. Because you know how grandpa's are... they joke around.. right?

"No kidding kid. It's all real, so what do you say? You can take your minds off things and relax a bit! And have fun with some of your cousin! Like Angela, she is the same age as you and she has been asking when you'll be coming back to visit." 

Oh Angela.. I can't believe I forgot about her and my other cousins! And she has been thinking about me and asking when I'll be returning back? Aww.. how sweet of her! We used to be really close to each other and our aunties and uncles would call us the 'Inseparable' sisters. Though we're not sisters, we act like one. We do stuff together; playing barbie dolls and do each others hair. 

One time, we had a sleepover at our grandparents place and had tons of fun with our other cousin. Oh.. good times..
