Never Let Me Go

Chapter 4: Baby

CHAPTER 4: BABY

 

A year later...

 

"Nice work everybody! See you tomorrow." Our dance instructor said.

"Keira, I'll need your help again tomorrow teaching the students."

"Alright Ara. See you tomorrow."

 

When I moved in with my new family, I started to take up dancing. You see, my little sister was taking up dancing lessons and I volunteered to take her and pick her up. 

 

"Ate Keira! Dance with me!" She was only eight years old.

"Just dance with your classmates Lei."

"But I want to dance with you." She raised her hand trying to get me to carry her. I did dance with her that day. It was so fun that I started to take dancing lessons myself. Now I take part in heading the lessons with my senior in dance class. I haven't stopped writing though. I just don't participate in contests anymore. 

 

I now live in the Philippines. My sister called me Ate Keira because they use Ate and Kuya to show respect to people older than them. I've made friends at my new school. I'm going to be in third year high school when summer vacation ends. Can't say I'm excited about it because I won't be able to train with Ara when I have school. 

 

"Mom! Dad! I'm home."

"Hello Keira." My mom greeted me from the kitchen.

"Where's dad?"

"He's still at work. Leo's upstairs."

"Okay." I went upstairs. "Lei?" I opened the door to her room and saw her browsing the web on her laptop.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." 

I peeked at her screen and saw her looking at pictures of Justin Bieber.

"Oh. Justin Bieber, huh?" 

She closed her laptop. I laughed.

"You don't have to hide that from me."

"No. You'll make fun of him. Just like everyone else."

"Hey. I'm your sister. I'm not like everyone else."

"You like Justin?"

"Sure."

"Name your favorite song."

"I don't have a favorite. I like them all."

"Really?"

"Really." I sat down next to her on her bed and hugged her. 

 

 

We spent the next four hours just listening to Justin Bieber songs and her telling me details of his life. I don't know much about the things she tells me but I know I know things that most fans don't. 

 

"Ate Keira, you write a lot."

"Yes. I do."

"Can you write a fan fic?"

"A fan fic?"

"Yeah. Write a love story with me and Justin in it."

I laughed. "You want me to write a love story with you as Justin's leading girl?"
