WELL ANYWAYS,

LET'S GO!

Kenneth's POV:

Days has passed and wounds has slowly healed. However, the wounds in our heads have left us scars forever.

Naomi has been taking therapy, Gabe has gotten a cast and was forced to stop dancing for 4 months to fully recover. Serris has been taking care of Sean and bringing him to the doctor's every now and then for some check ups.

Grayson and April has been sent to a foster home but is actually in process of trying to be adopted by Ms. De Guzman. While their father has been locked up and will continue to be locked up for the rest of his life.

While, I, on thee other hand has been slowly packing and preparing to leave for my flight to Philppines in just two more days. It's been hard on us as a family that I just couldn't find the will power to tell my friends that I loved just like family. I told my family that I will tell them tomorrow, but the truth is I really won't. I don't want them to try and stop me.

I just want to let go of everything so that everything will be okay again.

So that it could be perfect again.

As I roll more of my shirts and prepapre to add them into my suitcase, my phone starts ringing to the ringtone that I had set for Gabe. I swipe my screen and bring the speaker to my ear.

"Hey Ken?"

"Yeah, Gabe?"

"You busy?" He asks.

"Nah." I lied as I took a seat at the foot of my bed.

"Wanna come over? Naomi misses you."

The sound of her name brings goosebumps down my spine and all the memories start to rush over me.

"Um--" I cough. "I actual--"

"Gabe, is that Kenneth?" I hear in the distance of the line.

Her voice. I missed it so much.

"Yeah, it is." Gabe replied.

"Uh, Gabe. I gotta go do something real quick. I'll call you back." I quickly stammered before ending the call.

I wasn't ready to face anyone.

Especially Naomi.

"I think you should go."

His voice makes me jump off my bed and turn to the door where my brother stood by.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to snoop. I was just passing by and I heard the conversation."

"Uh, it's okay." I replied before continuing what I was doing before the call.

"Ken. Stop." He picks up the clothes I had just put in my suitcase and throws it to the side.

"What are you doing?!" I ask irritated at him.

"Listen to me." He says sternly before shutting my suitcase.

"You need closure, okay? Everyone does. I'm not gonna make you leave this state until you go and talk to Naomi."

Taking a deep breath out, I finally nod my head in agreement. He places his hand on my hair and ruffles it a bit before giving me a quick smile and walking off.

As soon as he disappears from sight, I pick up my phone and call Gabe back.

"Hey Gabe?"

"Oh I thought you weren't gonna call back to be honest." He answers.
