"Fifth Harmony live in Manila this April 5-" Ana didn't hear the rest of the announcement the moment her best friend screamed bloody murder. 'This girl' she thought to herself, she really can't blame her best friend though. This was her idols and she has been waiting for them for 4 years and a half apparently.

"Ana!! Ana!! I can't!! what is happening!! They're coming! I aahhhh!" she heard her best friend rambling by herself. The girl is going nuts. She needed to calm her down.

"Yo Chi! You need to calm down okay? Like sit do-" she didn't finish her sentence as her best friend screamed again. She shook her head and tried to pull the rambling girl to sit down but to no avail, so she just let her best friend ramble on. She closed her eyes and tried to drown out her best friends chatter.

Moments later she felt sleep taking over her but that's when she was shaken awake by her best friend. Typical, she thought. She opened her eyes to see her best friend with tears flowing down hers as she hovered over her. She sat up straight and held her hand.

"What's wrong? You were so happy just seconds ago?" Ana asked worriedly, her best friend has never cried like this before. Cynthia Morales isn't a softy like everyone seems to portray her to be.

"I can't go. I can't go" her best friend repeated her statement again and again which made Ana confused, how can she not go? Her best friend was well off and has a very supportive family and the free will most of the teenagers today want. So what's stopping her from going?

"It's the Anniversary" oh. Now she understood. It's that day, five years ago.

"Yeah" her best friend said noticing her sudden change of expression.

"You know she wouldn't want to hold you back from living your dream" The two best friends turned their heads at the voice behind them. It was Ana's mother.

"Tita? How long have you been there?" Chi asked as she stood up to hug her best friends' mom as the woman probably just arrived from work, with Ana doing the same. They all sat back down on the sofa with heavy sighs as they know the subject they'll discuss was still very sensitive, even after five years.

"Scarlett would want you to go see them, which is why I'm buying you both tickets" silence followed after that, which lasted for a few seconds when Cynthia started screaming again. Ana thought how generous her mom could be at times, she thought about being so blessed to have an amazing mother and-

"WAIT WHAT? BOTH OF US? WHY ME?" Ana shrieked with so much confusion as her mother knew she didn't like these type of things, especially big crowds.

"Who would accompany Cynthia here? None of the adults would bear that kind of noise so it's better for you youngsters to go" Ana sighed, she knew she couldn't fight this and looking at her best friends face there really wasn't a chance to fight it. So she shrugged and once again her best friend screamed. This girl's going to lose her voice even before the concert she thought to herself.

And for hours the two best friends went about their plan for the concert with Ana hoping all will go well, for her best friend sake.

Four days before the Concert

"Have you got everything ready?" Ana's mom said, Ana looked up to see her mother coming down the steps of the grand staircase and as ever Katheryn Santos walks down with so much grace and elegance. The woman who at the young age of 21 made a name for herself, The owner of the two largest hotels in the island of Bataan and the CEO of Analixta Tours; one of the country's best Travel Companies. Despite losing the man she loved and giving birth at a young age she stood tall for the sake of her baby girl and never once had a cold heart, well to some people. And after everything the woman has been through she overcame the pressures of being a young mother and managing her company. Ana smiled at the thought of everything her mother has done for her and yes she was blessed for having such a strong independent yet caring and loving woman as her mother.

"Yeah, everything's packed and ready to go!" A very energetic Cynthia piped up. Ana held back her laughter while her mother had an amused expression on her face; they've been checking their bags and doing last minute checkups.

"Well it's gonna be a long week for you two, so enjoy and have fun okay?" Katheryn said while motioning for the two girls to hug her, Ana squeezed her mother as much as she can. This will be the longest she'll be away from her.

"Everything is good to go" A woman the same age as Ana's mother came up to them, Catelyn Morales is one of the most trusted employees that Saints Manor has, she manages the place whenever the owner isn't there. Saints Manor is a huge castle like mansion on the coast of the island; it was built to be a strong hold for a noble family in the early times of the 18th century it was abandoned and owned by an old man with no surviving family to inherit it from him and with this he decided to hand it over to someone he had sheltered and cared for, someone he knew would take good care of it, someone he had considered his daughter. Now Saints Manor stands as one of the most luxurious hotels one can find in the island of Bataan, having walls carved with Victorian designs, Hallways taking you back in time, rooms made for nobles and the like not to mention the scenery surrounding it. With a white sandy beach a few meters in front of the entrance and a field of flowers at the side, it is considered one of the countries national treasures while being a second home to all the tourist across the globe who are in search for peace and tranquility after months of hard work. Catelyn Morales has worked in this place which is according to her is "The most Majestic place in all of the Philippines" from the very beginning as the right hand woman of Katheryn Santos and being her childhood best friend of course.

The woman suddenly grabbed Cynthia's hands and hugged her like her life depended on it. And as usual Cynthia whined pretending to not like her mothers' way of showing affection but she then gave up and hugged her mother back knowing she'll miss her crazy antics throughout the week that they'll be spending in the capital.

"I'll miss you so much sweetie your dad wishes you the best, he's in the monitor room fixing something" the woman exclaimed, Ana watched the exchange amused at how much the two had always been mistaken as sisters not because of the uncanny resemblance but by the energy the two always have opposite Cynthia's dad Raymond Morales who is the head technician of the Manor and is very calm and quiet.

"I'll miss you too mom! Take care of yourself please! And tell dad I'll miss him!"

"Alright go on the driver's waiting for you, you'll miss your flight if you stall this long" Ana looked at her mom giving her one last hug and stepped forwards to the awaiting van followed by a tearful Cynthia and her mom, Ana rolled her eyes at how dramatically cute the two are. The moment the doors to the van slammed shut and they were moving did Ana heard her best friend yell at the top of her lungs. The girl probably gave their driver a heart attack, Ana too.

"Can you quit with the yelling woman! You're going to get people confined to hospital beds" Ana joked but with her tone demanding, they wouldn't want getting into an accident. Cynthia bounced in her seat like an over excited child ignoring Ana. A 30 minute drive later they arrived at the port where the boat they'll be riding on is docked at the harbor. The boat has a white and black exterior with the bold letters
"The Ana Katalina" painted at both sides of the bow.

"Damn, you know sometimes I forget how rich you are" Ana watched her best friend look around once they were aboard. The boat was much like was big but not as big as the vessels her mother owns, the sole purpose of The Anna Katalina was for family and their closest friends.

"No it's all my mother's Cynthia" Ana said staring at the horizon as the sun starts to make its way toonce again kiss the ocean. Cynthia stared at her, looking for some type of emotion to cross her best friends face but nothing came.

"Rest, I know you're tired you didn't get enough sleep. I'll wake you up for dinner" Ana sighed and stared at her best friend as well, shrugging in the process completely dismissing her. Cynthia sighed and watched her best friends enter her room as the crew made last minute checks before they set sail.

As Ana entered her room she went straight to her window and opened the curtains to see the calm waves of the ocean. Maybe just maybe, for once in her life she may enjoy herself without any hesitations at all. With that thought she went to her bed and tried to get some well needed sleep.
