"Reminiscing"

Darren's POV

I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm. For a second I forgot why did I set the alarm at 7:30 when i usually fix it at 8. I force my self to sat up my eyes still shut close. I yawn and stretch my arms. I grab my phone next to my pillow and turn the alarm off.

Slowly I open my eyes and scratch the back of my stomach not far from my butt fault. Another yawn follows as I manage to wear my house slippers.

I walk towards the mirror and remove all my morning glory. I comb my hair and pat my cheeks a little. I don't really wash my face early in the morning it's freaking cold for crying at loud!

When I arrive at the kitchen mom was there cooking breakfast. The house already smelled like coffee and bacon. I sat at one of the stools as I watch mom cook her back facing me. She was humming this old song I'm familiar with.

"Oh, nandidto kana pala. I was just about to wake you up after cooking this eggs." She said and place the 3 sunny side up eggs on the table. She remove her apron and hang them back beside the fridge.

"Going to school?" Mom ask as she take some garlic rice.

"I have to." I answered and grab one egg and three bacon and place then all carefully on my plate.

"Why?" She ask and take a spoon full of rice.

"I need to practice for the coming promenade."

"Who are you going with?" She ask and look at me.

"Angel. I ask her out" I answered casually

" you like that white kid?"

"Kinda." I answered blushing.

"She reminds me a lot like Julia. Remember your childhood friend back at Canada?" Mom said. I look at her and finally I remember her name.

She's Chelsea's sister. Julia was the older sister of Chelsea. moms right, Angel and Julia are like twins. Their are both shy,white, long hair and skinny. The only problem is I don't remember Julia's face anymore. But I'm still mad at her for leaving me like that.

" I met Julia's younger sister,Chelsea. she's big now." I said and mom stop eating like she was surprise to hear the news.

"Really? So it's true? They stayed here for good?" Mom said. Now it's my time to look at her surprisely.

"You knew?" I ask.

"Well I knew they were planning on moving here but I didn't know when." Mom answered.

"You should have told me! so I didn't have to hold this grunge against Julia for so long." I said making this hand gestures. Mom chuckled though.

"You didn't ask me." She said sarcastic.

---Angel's POV---

"Take me back to the basics and the simple life. Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease.. You touch my comfort and my lullaby, holdin' on tight and sleeping at night." I sang as I feel the tear drops on my face. My eyes are close and I'm wearing a grin. My arms are spread catching every tear drops.

Last night. He got angry at me.

Last night. I was afraid of him.

Last night. He confess he likes me.

Last night. Was freaking memorable!

My cheeks would burn every time I remember how he grab my hand and make cute circles on my palm. How it tickles and feels so right. I was so eff-ing speechless. He was so cool confessing. Like he's done it a million times. Like he practice it a lot on the mirror. I was just staring at him how he spoke making those lips wet. Okay I'm getting pervy. Let keep this pg.

I'm happy but sad at the same time. He fell for me which I was happy but he fell for a dead girl. I'll hurt him. Soon I'll leave this place when I accomplish my mission. But since I don't know what my mission is yet. I'll try giving the feeling he's been giving me cause I know...

Someday I'll be gone.

The rain starts to weaken and the sun was showing up again. I open my eyes and look around. Everyone was still holding their umbrella but you can see some pedestrian running around their hands on their head.

Every since I met Darren everything change. The way I see things. They used to be dull and cold. But right now they have colors. Pastel and bright. And I love it. Darren made my world wonderful. Living like a ghost was pretty boring but Darren came and made it fun. I'll forever thank Darren because of that. And I promise to protect him at all cause.

I took cover on a near tree and wiggle my hands and feet. It finally stops raining and the Sun was shining again. Well I can't be wet but I do feel the tear drops.

I need to use that 5 hours visibility again. I don't know how to activate it. Natalie said I can only use it on special times. I'm freaking sure this promenade is a special one. But every time I ask her she would just giggle and say "you'll find out soon."  Like when is this soon? Soon enough? *while rolling my eyes*

And I'm amaze that I can keep a secret this far. It's been 4 months already and Darren doesn't have a clue of the real me. I hate It that I have to lie to him. I swear I don't want to do it but for the sake of my happiness I'll continue this. Just even for at least a little while.

i saw someone familar and something inside me makes me wanna run to her and hug her. voices entered my brain.

"sleep tight honey, school starts tomorrow."
"be careful! you might tripped!"
"i love you honey! say hello to your daddy for me!"

the voice belongs to a woman in her late 30's. it sounds so sweet and gentleness was heard there too. visions starts to enter my brain where I see this woman.

I  called her umma and she turn around to face me with a sweet smile and open arms.

"look I got a star!" I said as I show my hand with 2 red stars and below it writes very good. she praise me and kiss both of my cheeks. she was so happy that she can't stop hugging me.

"your appa will be very proud of you." she said. and wipe the sweat on my forehead. suddenly she became serious and she stare at me like it's the last time she'll ever hold me again.

"always remember umma loves you so much." she said and tear up.

"umma...sarangheo." I said and hug her. she hug me back and carry me. we got inside the office and she slowly put me down on a red fluffy couch. she kisses my forehead and left.

before I knew it tears were already rushing on my cheeks as the woman turn to another street and disappeared.

I remember things now.

I remember my mom.
