After school, Lauren and Kyle were walking outside the park when someone embraced Lauren from behind.
"Hey-"
"Seriously sis! You should've talked to me last night I was there outside your room whole night and you didn't even open the door. I was worried. "
Turning to face her brother she replied:
"I am so sorry Ben. I just wanted to be alone. "
"It's ok! You fine now? "
"Yes, and don't worry. "
She smiled at him. Benjamin had always been nice to her, always treated her like elder sibling a family member and so did she. He was her little 'baby brother' as she used to say. Now he was looking at her with worrying eyes. He was worried, worried about her. Kyle cut in.
"Hey man, don't worry I've got her. Go home your mom would be worried. Understand? "
"Yes", he then turned to me, " When will you be returning home? "
"So home Ben, I'll be back in hour or two. "
He nodded and left giving Lauren a tight hug, "I love you sis! "
"I love you too."
After he left Kyle asked, "Now what's the plan? "
She didn't knew what to do. But one thing, one person she wanted to visit. The one person, she loved the most and who is gone know. The one person, she wanted to grow up like, her mother. Remembering her, her eyes went wet again.
"Not again Lauren! You know your tears are precious. I mean it flows from your eyes mixing some of your eyeliner and mascara, and flows down to your cheeks, mixing the shimmer you have applied and to your lips-"
He said brushing her tears with his thumb. On the remark, she glared at him. He got the idea and stopped.
"All I meant to say that its expensive, precious. "
