Shakira watch as the boat Shane,Jane,and Sophia was in sail away. She didnt notice tears flowing down her cheeks.

Never in her wildest dream did she imagine that she could lose those three. She knew they are inseperatable, that nothing in this world can take them apart.

Shakira observed her surroundings, the island is so quiet. No running Jane, no shouting Sophia, and no laughing Shane. Shakira realized how sad the island is without those three.

Shakira walked on the shore. Thinking about all the memories thry had there. She still cant take the fact that the girls is gone.

Shakira decided to go back to the orphanage when she saw dark clouds forming on the sky.

Reaching the orphanage, Shakira went to the dinning hall and sit on her usual spot and started eating.

"Hey Sophia, pass me the juice please." Shakira said absentmindedly then she remembered Sophia was not there anymore. Losing her appetite, Shakira decided to go to sleep early. Walking up the stairs, she can visualize the girls running up the stairs happily. Thinking about the girls just make her sad.

She reached the attic and opened the door. She scanned the room for any sign of Shane or Jane or Sophia but nothing. She towards to her bed. Looking at her bed sheet where 'Shakira's bed' is still written Shakira sat down at the edge of the bed and hugged the sheets. Three drops of tear fall from her eyes. Shakira layed down on her pillow but there's something under her pillow that caught Shakira's attention. She pick up the picture under her pillow. Shakira smiled seeing the photo. It was taken during their picnic in the sea just months ago. In the picture was Shakira in the middle wearing a white sunday dress with Sophia smiling brightly at her right and Jane posing in her left. In the background you can see Mother Superior running after Shane who was holding Mother Superior's beach hat. It was one of my happiest memory. Shakira looked at the back part of the picture there was three different kinds of handwriting there. She read the curly and  fancy handwriting first.

Dear Shaki, Hi i wish you'll wait for us. We'll come back...Eventually. I miss you already. Love, Sophia

Dear, Shaki, Hola :) Dont worry we'll come back wait for us okay. I miss you. Love, Jane

Dear Shaki, Hey, your not crying are you? If you are then wipe those tears right now. Hey did you wipe them already? Good. Wait for us okay. We've got a plan. We'll be home soon. Well I hope the other two are making a progress with the plan. Anyways bye and sorry if you cant understand my handwriting. Jane, Sophia and I love you ~Shane :))

Shakira fall asleep while reading the letter. She had a dream. No wait a nightmare. She was walking in a dark aisle of the church. She looked at herself and saw that she's wearing a wedding gown. She looked forward and saw a man in a tuxedo standing there. He had his hands towards her as if asking her to take his hand.
"Who are you?" Shakira ask the man. Its the same guy in her dreams two years ago but still the face is still blurry.
"Who am I? You still cant remember me?" the man ask, irritation and anger can be heard in his voice. Shakira got scared when the man grabbed her wrist. "Ouch, please mister let me go. You're hurting." Shakira pleaded. "I gave you two years to remember me. I am A-" The man shouted but Shakira woke up abruptly.
"Just a dream.'' Shakira said wiping the sweat from her forehead. She look around. No Jane. Or Sophia or Shane. Shakira decided to go downstair to get a glass of water.

After getting water, Shakira decided to go back to the attic but she stop when she saw Mon Seniour outside.
"Mon Seniour? Why are you still up?" Shakira ask as she approach Mon Seniour.
"Oh im praying to have a safe trip tommorow....and im praying for the kids who get adopted." Mon Seniour said then looked up to pray.
"You're leaving tommorow?" Shakira ask once again.
"Yes my dear, Wanna come with me?" Mon Seniour ask with a warm smile on his face. This is a once in a life time experience for Shakira. She was about to agree when she remember what the girls said. They told her to wait for them.
"I would love too, Mon Seniour but I dont want to leave the island." Shakira said smiling apologetically.
"If its the island your thinking about then I dont think I can change your decision. But maybe going out ofthe island and coming with me may trigger some of your memories and maybe you'll meet someone who knows you there. Will you let this chance slip away?" Mon Seniour ask again that smile not leaving his face

Shakira thought about it. Her past, something she dont know, she'll have a chance to discover what its all about, maybe this us not a bad deal. She'll have some experience and she'll get to know what's out there. She wont let this pass.
"Uhm. I change my mind. I want to come with you. Where excatly are we going?" Shakira ask. She's feeling really excited and a bit nervous.
"Los Angeles."
