The day when their siblings will arrive

8 am in the morning. 

Xavier jumped off his bed. He immediately dialed Noah's phone number.

"Hey, Noah!"
"Yeah. Speak"
"Are you ready?? We have to go to the airport..." Xavier exclaims happily.
On the other side, Noah was now at the door of Xavier's room.

"No. I forgot. I think I won't be able to make it" said Noah.
"Whaaattt!!!" Xavier shouts.

"How can you forget your sister's arrival? Huh!?" said Xavier all angry.
"Can you pick me up then?" Noah asks.
"Whatever. Get ready fast. I'll be there soon"
"Mnm" replied Noah.

Xavier became really moody. He didn't expect such a turn of event. He quickly got ready and ran up to his door so that he can go to Noah's place and pick him. He was shocked as well as angry to see Noah smiling at him innocently as if nothing happened.

"Xavi, you are late.." Complains Noah while smiling.

"You-" Xavier was cut off when a certain someone jumped on to them.

"Luke..." Xavier sighed.

"Come. Let's go pick his sister" Luke said as if he was very interested and Noah had known him for long enough to understand the meaning of what he just said.

"Don't even think about her" Noah smacks Luke's head.

"Hey, Bryson is also coming.." Said Xavier.

"Oh yeah oh yeah. I'm gonna have fun" said Luke.

The 3 of them walked out and took 2 cars with them because they knew 2 friends of Noah's sister is also tagging along. They reached the airport. They started waiting for their siblings.

"You both worried sick brothers! We've been here for the last thirty minutes! We're way too early. Damn!" Exclaims Luke.

"Bryson is coming in our private jet. He'll be here soon" said Xavier to calm Luke. Luke always hates to sit still and wait. So the situation he's in right now made him really frustrated. He really wanted to meet Bryson and Noah's sister and Xavier and Noah know that.

They know Luke. They know that he hates waiting.

"There he is!" Says Noah looking towards the departure gate. Just as the other two heard him they started walking towards the gate fast and steadily. Bryson saw them walking towards him and they all had a broad smile on their faces. Xavier immediately went and hugged his little brother.

"You've grown in just 2 years ". Xavier says after examining his brother. Bryson smiles at his brother.

"Hey" Luke and Noah call together.

"Hi". Bryson says and hugs them too. They broke their hug and Bryson asked-
"Let's go home?"

"Not yet". said Luke smiling mischievously looking at Noah.

"Somebody's BEAUTIFUL sister is returning". said Luke.

"I wonder how she'll be like. Is she easy to get along with?" Luke asks Noah. Noah glares at him.
Xavier and Bryson sighed. And Bryson whispered to Xavier.

"Noah is probably gonna kill him if he says something more"
Xavier nodded.

"Brother!" they all looked back and Noah was more than happy to hear and see that face again after 2 years. She jumped onto him and hugged him tightly. Noah also holds her tight. Noah didn't notice the change in his friend's face. But Bryson noticed. Xavier's and Luke's eyes were glowing as if they saw an emerald. They too wanted to join the hug but they refrained. They know Noah very well. So they know what the outcome would be if they take any initiatives. What they heard was indeed right. Noah's sister was shining like a star. When they broke the hug they were about to introduce themselves. But they stopped when they saw a boy walking towards them and stood beside Noah's sister. When Noah noticed that no one was taking the initiative to introduce themselves he had to do it.

"Are you guys not gonna introduce yourself?" Asks Noah.

"Oh yeah". says Xavier.

"Hi. I'm Xavier. You can call me Xavi. I'm Noah's best BEST friend" said Xavier stretching his hand towards Noah's sister.

"Hello... I'm Charlotte. Nice to meet you." Said Noah's sister.

"Hey. I'm Luke. You might be knowing me right. I know Noah is very fond of me. He would've talked about me" says Luke.

"Uhm... Yeah. He does talk about you. But he mostly talks about Xavier. I mean Xavi" corrected Charlotte looking at Xavier because she noticed Xavier was not pleased when she addressed him as Xavier.

"Hi. I'm Bryson. Xavi's brother." Said Bryson and smiled at them.

"Hi... I'm Caleb. Charlotte and I've been together for years." Said the boy who came with Charlotte. Xavi's and Luke's eyes widened. Noah has never told them that his sister had a boyfriend. Seeing their reaction Caleb hurriedly said-

"No. Not like that. We 3 grew up together. We are best friends." Said Caleb.
Both Xavier and Luke were somehow happy to know it.

"How was your flight?" Asked Noah.

"It was comfortable". said Caleb smiling.

"Are these all your luggage?" Asked Luke in disbelief as there were 6 suitcases.

"Oh. These are not just ours. I told you that I'll bring one friend along. Two of these are hers." Said Charlotte.

"Then where is she?" Asked Noah.

"She went to the bathroom. She'll be right back. We can wait for her outside near the car." Said Caleb.

"Then I think it's better to wait for her" suggested Bryson.

"Yeah. I too think so." Says Xavier.

"Mnm" - Noah.

"Yeah" - Luke.

"No. She said she wanted to be alone for some time. First of all, she was reluctant to come back. She said she knew some people from here who she never wants to encounter again. So after years she is back and she needs time to adjust I think" says Charlotte.

"Oh," Bryson says. They all started walking towards the cars. They started putting their luggage in the car once they arrived near the car. After putting all their luggage in the car they started waiting for Charlotte's friend. 

"So, wanna have some water?" asks Luke handing a water bottle to Charlotte. Noah eyed Luke. But this time Luke avoided him.

"Thank you". said Charlotte taking the bottle from Luke.

"So, what's her name? I mean your friend's". asked Xavier.

"Lora". said Charlotte giving him a smile.

"A name that holds a lot of memories" mumbled Xavier. But of course, his brother and friends heard him. They didn't say anything because they didn't want the situation to get worse.

"There you are Charlotte, Caleb". said, someone. The others couldn't see who was the one who called out to Charlotte because Caleb was tall and the person who that voice belongs to was behind him.

But the other 4 didn't have to see the person to know who it is. They all knew her. Hearing her sweet voice once again after 2 years Xavier's eyes started to water. But he tried his best to hold it in. On the other hand, his brother and his best friends froze hearing that sound. And eventually, when the girl moved forward they saw her and was beyond shocked and at the same time scared. They knew their lives are gonna change. But they had no idea what will happen from now on. As of now, they were all just shocked. When the girl saw the boys her eyes started to well up. She didn't notice that little water drops were now falling from her eyes. She couldn't believe that she is right in front of those people whom she thought she would never meet again in this lifetime. She didn't know what got into her. She suddenly lunged forward and hung her hands around Xavier's neck. Xavier didn't know what to do. He just stood there letting her breath in his warmness. 

"Lora" gasped the other three boys in disbelief.

Xavier still stood there like an iceberg.
