The next day I looked for Joey everywhere but I could not find her. I even tried to go to her building.

" Ahm excuse me, do you happen to know Joey?"

" You mean Joey Santillian?"

" Yeah, do you know where she is?"

" She hasn't been in school lately."

" Really? I see thanks."

Carl and Erika also helped me out but they didn't know also.

" She is not here at the campus at all." Erika said.

" So what are we going to do now?" Carl asked

" I want to go her house but I don't know what to do and what to say. She might still be mad at me." I said

" Come on Hiro don't chicken out now."

" Carl is right dear cousin, Joey has already done her part, now it's your time to prove to her how much you love her."

" I know"

After class the three of us went to Joey house.

" So this is it, Greenfeilds subdivision house number 806."

" What are you waiting for cousin, go!"

" Alright, alright!" I pushed the door bell and the maid opened the gate.

" How may I help you sir?" the maid asked

" Ahm, we are Joey's friend we would just like to ask if she's around." then we heard a voice. " Who is that Inday?" the lady shouted

" They say that they are ms. Joey's friends, Ma'am."

" Is that so, well let them in."

The maid let us in and accompanied us to the garden, there we saw a middle aged woman taking care of the plants. She turned to us and smiled.

" Well hello there, please do sit down." we sat down." I heard you are my daughters friends."

" Ah! yes ma'am, I'm Hiro and these are Carl and Erika."

" Please to meet you ma'am."

" The pleasure is mine also, I'm Janeth Santillian, I'm Joey's mother."

I kind of figured out that part because form the moment she smiled at us, I could remember Joey at her.

" You said you wanted to see my daughter."

" Yes ma'am." I answered

" May I know why?"

" Because she is our friend and there is something I need to tell here."

" And what is it?"

" Something I should have done days ago."

" You said your name was Hiro? I know you, you are the person my daughter talks about and she loved so much."

" Loved? what do you mean by that?"

" I will let you meet her but you are not to say anything to her, got that?"

" Yes ma'am"

We went inside the house and upon entering the house we heard a very lovely tune coming form the piano. We went upstairs and the music grew louder and we reached a room.
