As I opened the door to my old house, I took a deep breath..
It smells like..home.
Suddenly, a flashback went into my mind that when we were only 8, we used to play together here, have some pie that my mom always baked for me and Oli.
Only God knows how much I missed the childhood moment..

I turned around as I heard something behind me..
It was Oli..

"H..hi" I said, awkwardly
"Hi" Oli replied..
This is not him..he wouldn't just reply me back with a single and serious "hi"
I wanted the old Oli to come back..
"Oli, I know you are mad at me..for leaving you.." I said as I wanted to grab his hand
"I came by just because to pass you something.."
I was hoping that he made a surprise for me or something as he handed out a medium size box..I read the tag as I smile to Oli as Oli is still looking serious..
But the tag said "From: Lizzie"
Not gonna complain though..
As I read the card on the lid of the box..

"Aloha Ifty!
I heard about your family, I am so sorry to hear about that..I am currently now at Hawaii since my sister has a surfing competition, I really hoped you love my present and I hope this cheers you up!!
Love,
Lizzie XXX"

I opened the box, excited to see what's inside..
I almost cried, it's the most beautiful china doll ever..
It looks like me with my chestnut hair..
The doll has black button eyes, long soft chestnut hair, coral pink blush cheeks, a cute pastel-ish light blue with pink heart pattern dress and a pair of black sneakers..

"Isn't it cu.." I said while my smile fades away to see that Oli is already gone..

Then, I remembered the memory where we opened our christmas presents together..it is better opening presents with our loved ones than alone..
I turned on the lights and went to my bedroom..
I really really missed my bedroom..
My favourite boyband posters are still here..
I smiled while I picked up a cute small globe..its my gatcha machine prize!
This is so cute, the globe still has my prize in it..
I remember this, I was still 11, I went to the Japanese Store with Oli and bought our first gatcha machine..

"Open it! Open it!" said 11 years old Oli..
"I can't, my hands are shaking cause its freezing out here" I said

It was winter, we both wear a big scarf, jacket,mittens and snowcaps..

"Well, lets open it at home then" Oli holds my hand and pull me to go home as quick as we can..

A drop of tear just strolled on my cheek..
Dang it, how can single boy that im in love could make me cry so much?

I opened the globe..
It still has that little Mario mini-figurine..

I put the globe and the figurine on my desk..
There is something hanging at the edge of my desk..I picked it up and brush it since there was a lot of dust..
I take a good look at it..
Just a 2 second look and I hugged it..very badly..

I ran downstairs and knocked on Oli's door..
"Oli!"
No one was answering..but I know he is in there..because the TV was still on..
"Ok,I just want to give you something but I'll just hang it on the..doorknob" I put Oli's panda hat on the doorknob and left..

I went to the kitchen to microwave some microwave pizza that I just bought on my way here..
I remembered my China Doll and took it from the kitchen counter and went upstairs to put it on my bed..

As I put it on my bed, I sniffed..and took a deep sniff..
I smell something burning..
I remembered..
"MY PIZZA! FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE" as I ran downstairs like a lunatic..

I fanned the smoke that came from the microwave and the pizza..
I opened the microwave and take the plate..
"AH! IT'S HOT..HOT HOT PLATE" and I just accidentally dropped the plate and smashed everywhere..
I grunt and tried to pick up the smashed plate..
One of the shattered plate just stinged my finger "OWW" and I saw my finger is bleeding..
"Worst day ever"
If only my family were here..mom would look out for my pizza and it won't even burn or dad will help me heal my bleeding finger or my sister could just not stop making puns and jokes..
Oli? He could just cuddle with me on the sofa and make me feel better..
As I grunt how my finger hurts..a guy just came infront of me and took my finger to have a look..
I was kinda scared cause im afraid Callum is back or something, but I heard Callum has already moved to Japan or Korea..

"Come, let's go to the clinic" said the guy..
I recognise that voice, I recognise this sweet licorice and a little bit of cinnamon smell..

I sat in the car..
Oli started the car engine and started driving..
It was awkward and I tried to make it not as awkward as possible so, I started the conversation..

"Oli?"
"Yeah?"
"How did you know I.."
"I heard you scream like three times"
"Oh..umm..am I that loud?"
"Only the third scream you were loud"
"Hmm..I know this is an awkward question but is it true..that you have moved on and find someone else?"
"Actually..no I haven't cause I was waiting for you"
"Really?! I mean..really?"
"I couldn't be mad at you that long for living with your aunt..you have the right to"
"So, that means you have forgive me?"
"We'll see about that" as Oli giggled
I giggled too..
I am so relieved!
I just couldn't keep the happiness in myself so I hug-attacked Oli..

"WOAH WOAH" as Oli emergency braked and look at me..
"Uhhhh, im..sorry?" I said and tried to smile
"Oh god dear Ifty..I would have spank your butt if you were my child" as he tried to keep his laugh..
"Ohhh, I know you want to laugh.." I starred at him as im trying to make him laugh..
"I hate you" Oli looked at me and smirked..
"Well, I hate you more" I said as I tried to hide my bleeding finger pain by pressing it more..

"Did you just hugged me with that bleeding finger?" Oli said as he looked at his jacket
"Uhhhhh..can I answer no?"

"Owww! That hurts" as I rubbed my cheek cause Oli just pinched..
It feels so good to be back in track..
