Nathan POV
Japan?! Why Japan?!
"Mike, book me a ticket. Im going to look for her."
Ginny: How Nate? Japan is huge! Where are you going to start?
"I dont care Ginny. I need to find her."
Ginny: I know Nate. Calm down. You have to be rational. It is like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Ill find her. Ill search everywhere. I wont come back till I do."
Ginny: You have to think Nate. If Daddy is willing to go through the trouble of making her leave, Im sure he will do all it takes to make sure she is never found. You need to be smart.
Mike: She is right Sir. And.. Im sorry but I cannot book you a ticket because your father have block you from leaving the country. Your passport is blocked.
"What the hell?" I yelled angrily.
Ginny: We have to tell the rest. Maybe we can come up with something.
I am in no mood to face Tony and Leo. I cannot imagine what they will do when they find out about this.
After much persuasion from Ginny, we head back to their apartment.
--
They were still there when we reach.
Ginny: Hey guys. We have some news.
Tony's face lit up.
Tony: Did you find her?
Ginny shook her head.
Ginny: We manage to track her flight destination. But that is it.
Leo: Flight? To where?
"Japan"
Tony and Leo in unison: Japan?!
Ava: Lets go then?
Ginny: To Japan Ava? That is 12 hrs away. Plus, she chucked everything else away. She is using new name and all to get by. We cant track any other transactions or bookings under her name.
Tony: She had always wanted to go there. She even studied Japanese as an elective.
Ginny: Another problem is... my father has blocked Nathan's passport. He is not allowed to leave the country.
Tony: Why?! Did he have something to do with all this??? (He yelled angrily)
Ginny: No! We found that Nathan passport had been blocked for months. I guess it is his way of protection. (She lied)
Tony cooled down.
Leo: In that case, let me go. I can try to look for her. I know some Japanese too since I stayed there 2 years when I was 12. I still have some friends there whom I can ask for help.
Tony: Ill go too. I need to find her.
Leo: Buddy. I think it is best for you to remain here. Your parents do not know what happened yet. We need to make sure they dont suspect anything or things will get messy. If she finds out we are looking for her frantically, she will disappear and we might not find her.
Ginny: He's right Tony.
Tony was upset but he reluctantly agreed.
Im angry and frustrated. I cant go look for her and I am grounded in the country. This is shit!
"Thank you Leo."
Leo: Ill bring her back Nate. I promise.
--
Preparations were made and Leo leaves in 2 days. He told his parents who were supportive. They even took leave to go with him for a week just because they miss Japan. He applied to defer his last semester.
-At the airport-
They sent Leo off. Before going to the departing gates, Nathan spoke to Leo.
Nathan: Thank you Leo for doing this.
Leo looked at his friend who looked horrible. He looked a wreck. The dark circles around his eyes and his normal clean cut look is gone.
Leo: I will find her. I will update you often. You take care of yourself. You need to look better to see her Nate.
They hug each other before Leo turns to leave.
Leo POV
Im waiting at the boarding gate looking at the letter Selena wrote for me.
Leo,
You are my best friend, a brother and a protector more that I could ever have. You never fail to make my day. To make me laugh when Im down. To drown the negativity with your positivity.
I know how much you feel for me. I know how much you sacrifice your love for mine. Thank you for loving me as much as you do. I really dont deserve it. But times like this made me wish you are here with me.
Leo, I wish you all the happiness and I pray for you always. There is someone out there for you. Without me there, Im sure you will find her. And open your heart to her.
Please continue to protect the rest as how you protected me. Look after my brother and Nathan. I love them very much. And I will love all of you always. Take care Leo.
With love,
Selena
My heart is with you always. I will never be able to find someone else like you.
Wait for me Selena, I will find you.
