"If people were the Sun - shining bright yet hurting my eyes, my squad was like the Oak tree shading me."
May Miller's life was a whole big mess; half joyful and half painful. With so many hoaxes surrounding her. She thought of her life to be misera...
I was in utmost shock. My vocals couldn't break out a single word. There was complete silence, with each one of us having different face expression: I was in a state of shock, my mom was quite overwhelmed and happy, while Jake was excited.
Yes, Jake returned a day early from his trip and the only answer I wanted was WHY?
Yes, Jake was standing in front of my eyes. He was excited to share his experience of the trip with mom.
Then my mom spoke and shattered the silence.
"Hun, look! Your dad, Jake is here!"
"But why?" I protested and then suddenly realised what have I just said. "I mean, wasn't he supposed to come back tomorrow morning?" I was disappointed.
"Darling, you should be happy he's back home early." Sure, mom's expression was changing from a happy one to an angry one.
I ignored what mom said and turned to face Jake. "Hi Jake. Good to see you early. I hope your trip was good."
I gave out a very basic smile and turned towards the stairs to get back to my room. I wasn't willing to stay there even for a second. As I was about to climb the first stair, mom called me out again.
"Wait, May. Me and Jake need to talk to you about something. Stay with us for a while." My mom kind of ordered me to stay. She could have said the same thing a bit politely. But fine, it doesn't matter. I'm habitual of this act of hers.
"What's it, mom? I'm kind of sleepy, but if you say so, I'll stay." I pretended to act as if I wasn't caring much but inside, my heart and nerves were banging on my skin. I wanted to know what the matter was. Childish curiosity, you know.
"Darling, before you leave us for two long years, me and Jake want to take you for a trip, wherever you say."
"That means Jake will also accompany us?" This was my first question. I just wanted to hear a NO.
"Of course! It's his plan." Mom said reluctantly.
"Well, I have a better idea. It would be so much fun if only you, me and my first dad go on a trip. Consider this as my last wish before I leave, mom. Please?"
"But Jake—" Mom was about to say something but Jake interrupted her.
"It's fine, Patricia. You and Ben can go along with May. Also, I have some urgent work. So it's better to stay here. No issues."
As Jake completed, I was like - Finally, Jake said something good.
My heart relaxed like never before. Finally I will be going on a trip with my actual and lovely parents and Jake won't be there.
But the game wasn't entirely in my favour.
My mom said, "But Jake, that's not happening. I want you to be there."
Even then Jake refused.
So my mom had to agree to my demand. She did not agree completely, but kind of.
"Okay, May! I'll think about it. I'll let you know."
To which, I just nodded in agreement and started climbing the stairs.
As I was thinking about this night to be, it happened the opposite. Instead of cursing Jake about coming so early and stuff, I was happy and smiling widely.
I fell asleep thinking about how the trip was going to be. Trust me, what I was imagining was no less than a fantasy.
Everyone has their own fantasies. My fantasy was to be with my actual parents on a trip.
I just can't stop imagining how much fun would it be.
Yesssss!!! I said to myself, feeling happy for the idea I gave to my mom.

And here comes Chapter-2! I hope it was fun!
By the way, what do you think about the trip? Will May's mom agree? Where will they go for a trip? Will Jake come along (plan change)?
Answer them, guys! I'm waiting!
