“Where is he? Where’s....” Who was she talking about, she thought to herself? Who was she referring to? What was she doing before waking up in the middle of the forest.

 

            “Heylan! I was so worried! Oh my God, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you since this morning, You just dissapeared!” her cousin Anny exclaimed full of worry.

 

            “I was.... I just... It was...” her words didn’t make sense to her as she spoke. She tried remembering, but nothing.. Only these words that was engraved in her mind.

 

            “I will find my way to you Heylan, we can be together. Just wait for me, I promise.”

            She remembered a voice say. She didn’t kow what was going on, but she promised that she will wait for him. Whoever he is, all she knows is that the person who said those words were important to her.

Chapter 1: Going to my Grandparents

 

 

             It was summer, and everything was hot. Heylan was packing her things up, while listening to music in her earphones. She is going on a vacation, spending some time with her Grandparents across the country. Her Mom wanted her to live out more, experience the nature and also to help her Grandparents since they were now old and weak.

 

         “Heylan, come on! We haven’t got all day ya know! Hurry up, it’ll be a very long ride to you Grandparents place” Her mom shouted from down stairs.

 

            Giving in a sigh she quickly finish packing her things up and hurriedly went down the stairs. “I’m ready Mom!” she said in a rather irritated tone.

 

                She didn’t want to spend her summer alone with her Grandparents, she rather lock herself in her room and read some books while listening to music rather than spending all her time helping her Grandparents. Don’t get her wrong, she loves her Grandparents with all her heart, but she just wish that she’ll have someone about her age to talk to, maybe have some neighbors so it won't be lonely or maybe even better a mall there close to the old folks' home. Her Grandparents’ place was so far away from civilization and without neighbours from miles, atleast that’s what she remembered.

 

              “Come on now Dear! Your Grandma and Grandpa will be so happy to see you, oh and by the way your cousin Anny will be there as well, so you won’t get bored” her mom said happily. Like that will solve everything for her.

 

            “Oh boy!” She thought to herself. Anny was 5 years younger than her, and also a very hyperactive child. She’s gonna babysit while she is on her vacation, what a fun vacation for her. “Just great” she exclaimed sarcasm clearly on her tone.

 

            “What’s wrong Dear? Are you not happy to see your relatives? They haven’t seen you since you were 10! That was a very long time ago” her mom pouted.

 

            “It’s not my fault if during hollidays they couldn’t come and visit. I mean, why do they have to live so far away anyways?” she asked bored.

 

            And with one last final huff, she slowly made her way towards her Mom’s car and slid on the front seat, buckling her seatbelts. She blew a couple strands of her hair away from her face, and waited for her Mom to slid on the driver’s seat. When her Mom buckled her seatbelt, she quickly started the engine and step on the gas.

 

            During their trip to the airport was full of debating and arguing with her Mother. She was sick with that, so she just put her earphones and listen to some pop music, while staring at the scene from outside the car’s window completely ignoring her Mother. Her eyelids begin to get heavy and she drifted off to sleep.

 

            “Honey! We are here now, send my regards to Mom and Dad ok?” her Mom said.

 

           She suddenly shot her eyes open and realized that they were indeed have arrive at the airport. She quickly took out her luggage and made their ways towards the inside.

 

            “Now remember Heylan, respect your Grandma and Grandpa. If they start to annoy you, just please ask them nicely, they are already at their age” her Mom lectured.

 

            “Yeah Mom, got it” and with that said she hugged her Mother and bid her goodbye, completely dismissing her.

 

            Few moments has passed since she bid her Mom goodbye, she is now inside the plane sitting comfortably on her chair. She took on her surroundings and noticed some few families were going on their own vacations. She sighed watching them. She wished that she could also be with her Mom and Dad going on a Vacation. But No! They were too busy with their jobs and stuff.

 

            “Whew! What a hot weather we have today, does it not?” A guy asked her while making his way to sit beside her. The guy look’s like an Athlete since he looked fit and all. He has dark hair that is messily styled, like he didn’t combed it, but still looks good. He has a nice pair of green eyes, straight nose and has the perfect cheekbones. She hadn’t realized that she was checking him out.

 

            “Checking me out, eh?” the guy asked with a playful smirk.

 

            “No. I’m not checking you out errr.... dude...I was just looking at your features and such” she stated while clearly blushing.

 

            “Hmm... That’s the same thing, aint it? Anyways the name’s Aldreich or you can just call me Aldz or Reich” he said giving in a friendly smile.

 

            “Well it’s a pleasure to make your acquintance Aldz, I’m Heylan” she said while shooking his hand. He shook her hand back and gave a smile.

 

            “Where you off too? And Alone?” he asked trying to make conversation.

 

            “To my Grandparents’ house, and you?”

 

            “Just gonna visit my old man”

 

            Hours had pass and they started becoming friends, Aldreich was really nice and easy to talk to. She learned that Aldreich was once the captain of the swimming team, but he has to quit due to some “problems” according to him. Anyways, he was a good company while they were travellinng.

 

            Time was quickly fast that they haven’t noticed that the plane has already landed.

 

            “So... I guess I’ll see you around Heylan” Aldreich said trying to be casual and with a smile plastered on his face.

 

            “Well... I guess so” she said unsure. How can she see him around, when her Granparents’ house were far away from civilization? And without neighbours for how many kilometres.

 

            “I think... I won’t be seeing you around much, since... well...” she started explaining, but got cutt off mid sentence.

 

            “You should totally give me your number” Aldreich blurted with a blush quickly trying to make its way on his face.

 

            She stopped for a moment and stared at him. Trying to process what he said to her, she gave a smile and nods “Sure”.

 

            After exchanging numbers, they bid each other goodbye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

---------^----------Few moments Later----------^----------

 

 

 

 

 

            “Oh oh  oh! There she is Grandpa!” a girl about 13 suddenly blurted out loud. Heylan quickly snap her head towards the direction of that voice and saw her Cousin and her Grandfather. Sighing she smiled at them and took her luggage with her making way to the two people who she haven’t seen in years.

 

            “Gramps! Ann! How have you guys been?” she came towards the two and giving each a quick hug. Oh how she missed these people.

Chapter 2: A Story to tell

 

 

            “Sooo… how is your Mother doing?” Heylan’s Grandfather suddenly asked trying to make conversation while making their way back home.

 

 

            “She’s fine, everything is fine.” she gave a short respond and shrug.

 

 

            “What about your Dad?” her cousin pipe in. Heylan tensed a bit upon hearing about her Dad. She shrug it off once again and replied “Same as always, busy with work.”

 

 

            “Ahh, that Dad of yours really works too hard, he should relax a bit and chill ya know? It’s not like your gonna ran out of money, you guys are loaded!” her Grandfather exclaimed with slight chuckle.

 

 

            Hearing her Grandfather’s word, Heylan could not believe that her Grandfather actually uses the word “chill”. She raises a questioning brow directed to her Grandfather.

 

 

            “Blame one of the neighbors cous, Grandpa has been hanging out with people not his age apparently” her Cousin butted in answering the question that was swirling on her head.

 

 

            “We have neighbors?”

 

 

            “Yeahp about our age, I guess..”  Anny responded.

 

 

            She smiled a little knowing there were neighbors about their age that they could hang out with. Giving in a quick sigh of relief, she started taking out her notebook or rather her “Journal” and started writing on something. She prefers a Journal than calling it a Diary, it was too Girly for her cool personality as she would like to put it. After finishing her writing, she closed the notebook and started drumming on her lap using her hands to pass the time.

 

 

            “And we are almost there.” her Grandfather announced.

 

 

            “Uhhh finally Grandpa, my neck hurts of just looking outside either side of the windows, now I can smell Grandma’s cooking not so far from here.” her cousin Anny exclaimed a little excited upon smelling their Grandmother’s cooking.

 

 

            After a few minutes of driving, they finally arrive at a big 2-story house surrounded by trees. It was nice and homey, not too fancy or anything just homey. Looking around for a brief moment, Heylan realized that everything changed around here. The house is no longer old looking, rather it look “new” now and is full of color.

 

 

            “Grandma” Heylan said as she began approaching the elderly lady and gave her a hug.

 

 

            “Heylan? My my.. You have certainly grown, last time
