(long chapter ahead and please comment how old Darren's sister is! Thanks!

~Darren~

"Thank you for flying Philippine airlines.We hope you enjoy your stay" the speaker said.

"Lynelle" I said shaking the little girl slightly,hoping she'd wake up.

But nope! She's still snoring.

I sighed and carried her,grabbing my stuff and heading out with my parents behind me.

"ESPANTO FAMILY" a sign read.

Then I saw my Lola and Lolo waiting for us.

I started jogging towards them and gave them a big hug carefully not crushing the sleepy head I'm carrying.

"Wow!Darren you look different!" Lola said looking at me.

"Is this Lynelle?" She asked tearing up a bit,looking at the little girl in awe.

"Yeah" I said looking down at my sister.

"Hi ma!" My mom kissed my Lola and gave her a hug.

We walked out of the airport and head back to our old house.

As I stepped out of the car,Jet lag hit me hard.

I got my luggage from the trunk and helped my sister with hers.

I stepped in and smiled.This place hasn't changed a bit.

The writings on the walls I made,The posters I hung and even the small hole I made was still there.

After unpacking,I had this urge that I wanted to go around the neighborhood.

"Mom,Can I walk around?" I asked scratching my head.

"Sure! Bring your sister with you!" She answered from the kitchen.

I nodded but then realizing she can't see me and said a quick "okay" then headed upstairs.

I decided to change into a plain white v neck shirt,denim pants,black converse and shades.Then,Lynelle wore her yellow sun dress and flats then grabbed her shades and we were off.

We walked out of the house and started walking.

Some houses looking very familiar.

I came across hers and I swear my heart started beating fast.

I saw a figure from the window downstairs,strumming on a guitar.

"Wherever you are
Every might I almost call you
Just to say it always will be you
Wherever you are" I heard her voice sing.

The world stopped,my heart melted and my eyes softened.

It was her.

I was just starstruck,I was standing in front of her house just staring till Lynelle dragged me to another place.

"Kuya! Ang ganda dito po" she said looking around.

True though.It was really nice here.

There wasn't that much cars passing by,it's silent here and a there's park somewhere.

After a few minutes,there was a little girl biking who somehow looked like Savannah.

I smiled as the little girl stopped biking when she spotted us.

Lynelle started approaching the little girl when a car was approaching them.

I ran as fast as I can and pushed the two out of the way.
