"It seems like someone is happy to see me"

"OMG Emma what are you doing here?! Its been so long since we last saw each other, ive missed you so much" and hug her even tighter.

"Everything is fine, tomorrow mom, Lily and I will fly to Europe and we are staying here till then. Dad came with us but Nate and Stiles stayed at home"

"So thats why you lucky bastards didn't answers my Skype calls or messages the last week!"

"i was going to your house actually, so start walking"

Ok, let me explain whats going on in here. Emma,Lily,Nathan and Stiles are my fathers best friend's children. They met in collage and moved together till they met their wife's and bought two houses to be neighbors. Since our diapers Emma and I were so close and Nate as well being an year older than us. They both met my group of friends when we were young but they never became friends, they would always maintain some distance between them. When we where 9 years old they moved away to the countryside because of their dads job almost a day and a half of car ride. When we where 13 years old i went to visit for the whole summer and ever since then for the last four years we haven't seen each other, yet we do maintain our relationship with Skype twice a week with Em and WhatsApp everyday with Nate.

"So tell me what's up with your brother? I literally haven't Skyped with him since two years ago when he deleted his account, never seen his face since then. Oh please tell me he has his face full of acne and i can mock him till i die."

" ha ha ha very funny, not much to tell we actually speak every day with you. He told me he hasn't been speaking to you for the last month cause he wants to save information. Don't ask me i don't have a clue of what he means." I can tell she is lying and probably knows but i wont force her to tell me.

We continued talking for the rest of the walk home. When we arrived my dads car was parked outside, great. After a long talk it turns out dads surprise wasn't Emma's visit, but i was invited to go for a week to Emma's house. Although she wouldn't be present, i was going to be able to hang out with Nate and stay at Emma's room.

It was great news though i would have to explain the team my absence and beg them not to make a prank welcome back (we usually do one of those). So to avoid any confrontations i send a message to our WhatsApp group and a noice vote to couch explaining my next week absence, I settle my phone to charge and go to the table for dinner, where everyone is waiting for me with my excuse of "i'm going to the restroom".

Sad news i was going with my dad and his girlfriend as well. I share a good relationship with her, though she tends to sometimes over exaggerate things and make the atmosphere uncomfortable. Dinner went too far and by the time we finished we were all exhausted. I must say, Mom did a really good job with the food today, or maybe it was my after practice usual hunger? i don't know.

After dinner we said our goodbyes with Em and went up to my room, as they are staying here for the night she is obviously sleeping in my room. We were still talking after almost an hour when a knock in the door interrupted us. It was Uncle Henry, although he isn't my real uncle, that's the way my siblings and I call Emma's dad.

"Sorry sweeties but is time for you to go to sleep you have an early flight to catch tomorrow Em and we all know you are a heavy sleeper" i nod to that one although thanks to the darkness they probably didn't see me. "Oh and before i forget, Belle your dad said your leaving the day after tomorrow and to have everything ready for after it. The boys are enthusiastic for your visit. Now goodnight both of you"

"Goodnight" we reply in a chorus, and he leaves.

"The boys are enthusiastic? I really don't think Stiles is even in a wohoo mood i mean, we aren't that close" i say

"You might not be that close with my older brother, still, you are like a sister to us. Think it this way, you, Nate and i are like lost triplets while Samantha and Stiles are like twins"

"Well yeah thats actually okay after all, they share the same relationship the three of us do and are both 21." We spoke for another fifteen minutes till Em fell asleep.

Before snooping off i grabbed my phone to see if there was any new message, i cant believe i haven't touched this thing in 3 and a half hours im practically an addict to this device. I opened WhatsApp to find 116 messages of the teams group all regarding my future trip.

Cole: are you for real? What are we gonna do?!
Dylan: it is the end we wont make it through this
Jeremy: we'll probably end up all injured and our chances of having a great start of season will be cero
Q: WE WILL DIE!! 3312 i repeat, we have a 3312!!
Frank: if she falls for this one it will be great! Enjoy your trip my friend
Everyone: WAY TO RUIN A JOKE FRANK!!

And like that it went on, i had two messages from Rose, but what really caught my eye was a message from someone i definitely thought would never talk to me again...

Jasper: "B wanna meet up? I need to talk to you"
