"Hey, have you seen Anaeya?" Christopher asked Sylvia, still feeling groggy. He wiped his face with the ends of his sleeves and caught up to Sylvia when she emerged from the artist lounge.
"No, why?" Sylvia murmured. Then, she halted in her steps to face him. Her eyes were brighter than the dreadful weather outside and her movements jittery. "Have she told you?"
"Told me what?"
"Ohh, she haven't," Sylvia said, giggling. The boy gazed at her suspiciously to which she just ignored. They entered the studio to meet up with the rest of his bandmates. "Just know that she have good news for you."
"Sylvia," Mr Sean called, his head popping through the door gap. "I need to speak to you for a moment, if that's okay?" Sylvia nodded. He cleared his throat, and added, "In private."
She complied and left Christopher with the boys.
"Hey, what's up?" he said.
"Hola," Zabdiel and Erick replied back.
The other two exchanged a look. Richard shook his head at Joel and forced a smile when he turned to Christopher.
After awhile, Sylvia returned looking glum. The girl shoved her hands into her pocket, shaking her head.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Joel said, squeezing her shoulder. Sylvia glanced at his hand with an incredulous look before awkwardly brushing him off. Joel quickly retracted his arm to his side. "Everything alright?"
"Anaeya had to cancel plans because the babysitter couldn't come."
"What babysitter?" Christopher repeated.
"Plans?" Richard asked, bewildered. He turned to Joel who just paled. "What plans? Is there something that we should know?"
"She was planning to suprise you guys today," Sylvia murmured, her shoulders hunched. "She had an idea and we had been planning it for a week. I had even finished packing. She was going to join your World Tour in Europe." She left the studio but not before she turned to Christopher and said, "She wanted to follow you."
They all fell silent.
"Mierda!" Richard uttered, looking pained. He clutched Christopher by the shoulder, shaking. It made the headache his friend was having even worse. "Chris, why?"

Anaeya walked down the streets of Miami where people were hurrying as it was beginning to drizzle. Some of them took cover at the nearest bus station or coffee shop while some hailed for cabs parked by the streets.
