"Clara, Liam will drive you home, I'll finish this and come" Said Noah with a soft tone and then kissed her forehead..
"Okay.." I simply said
*a few minutes later*\~
"Hey, Liam..can you please drop me off here?"
"Not with your condition!" Liam refused immediately..
"Liam please, I'm fine, I just need some time alone before I go home, don't worry"
"No it's-..how will you go back?" he said with a calm voice.. he was worried about her..
"I'll call Noah to pick me up later.."
"..Just be careful, if you need anything just give me a call" Said Noah.. he wasn't sure if she will be alright alone right now, but he just couldn't say no to her..
▪️Well, you're probably wondering what's going on? why are they that worried about me? Well this was my sister's funeral.. that's what happened..▪️
flashback
"Lily! Wake up already! it's time for school and Liam won't wait for us if we're not ready"
"okay okay, just another 5 minutes"
"Lily! get up right now!"
"ugh.. you're so annoying, Clara!"
.................................................
"Good morning Lily!, Good morning Clara!"
"Good morning Mrs Helen"
▪️This is Mrs Helen, when we were young, she was our babysitter or.. I can say she was the one who took care of us.. We had two twin brothers, Ron and Sam, so my mom was really busy taking care of them... Liam is also Mrs Helen's only son, we always had fun playing with him back then, he was 4 years older than me and 12 years older than Lily..▪️
*ding dong*
"Clara can you please open the door?"
"It's Mr Oliver!"
"Good morning!"
▪️And this is Mr Oliver, he was our aunt's husband.. me and Lily lived with them until our aunt passed away, then Mrs Helen decided to take us to live with her▪️
Good morning Mr Oliver!" Said Mrs Helen, she was confused why he came so early today but she didn't ask..
"Umm.. can I talk to you in private Mrs Helen?"
"Huh? oh yeah sure"
................................................
"So, what's wrong Mr Oliver?"
"See?.." He handed her a mail..
"Wait.. is this-.."
"Yes..Clara is officially now hired in 'Toronto general hospital' in Canada, she got accepted!"
"Omg, she finally achieved her dream, she's a doctor!,..Her parents would have been proud of they were here" Said Mrs Helen with a proud smile, she remembered Clara's parents.. they were so kind to her and Mrs Anderson (Clara's mother) treated like her mother..yes Mrs Helen is that old, she used to be Mrs Anderson's babysitter when she was young.. and Clara's grandmother was also so kind to her..
"when should we tell Clara?"
"let's wait for now Mr Oliver, when should she be there in Canada?"
"about two months"
"my baby girls grew up so fast and now she's leaving" Said Mrs Helen with a sad but proud tone, ofcourse she didn't want Clara to leave but she also wanted the best for her future..
▪️ You're also probably wondering where are my parents? well.. actually.. they passed away when I was 8.. back then, we always traveled because of my father's job and one time we were on a plane when it crashed.. only a few people were survived, me and Lily were lucky but our parents.. weren't, as for my brothers, we don't where they are, we couldn't find them , I was still young tho.. people wouldn't let me search..▪️
.........................................
"Mrs Helen, I'm gonna drop off Lily to college then I'll meet Anne"
"okay sweetie"
▪️Anne is my childhood friend, we were friends since second grade... we also kind of live together cause we always were with each other ▪️
"Lily, let's go!"
"I'm coming!"
"Get in the car"
"Sure Liam"
"Wait.. I forgot my bag..... here..- oh wait and my phone..... okay let's g..- oh and my notebook..... okay now I'm really really"
"Lily you're wearing your slipper!"
"Omg, I'm sorry one second.."
"ugh.. a nine years old kid.."
"come on, I just happen to forget some little things and-..oh where's my-"
"Lily we're going, bye"
"ugh.. you're so annoying, Clara!"
.......................................
*present time*
"I wish you were still here with me Lily"(*crying*)
▪️Anyways, let's continue the story, well... the day I was going to travel on is about a week and a half...then..▪️
*flashback*
"But..how will we tell Lily I can't stand leaving her here.."
"You don't feel she's safe with me?"
"No no no, it's just.. it's my first time being apart from her"
"I don't know how she'll react.."
\(*later*~\)
"Mrs Helen, I'm back!,...huh? what's going on?"
"Umm..uh, well Lily, we wanted to talk to you"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well Lily, I'm..uhh.. I got accepted in 'Toronto general hospital' so.. I'll should be hired there in about a week and a half.."
"Omg!, congratulations sis, I'm so proud of you," She suddenly jumped and hugged Clara "..so when should I prepare my suitcase?"
"Well...you shouldn't"
"Wait..why? I should wait a bit more?"
"No.. it's uh.. you're not coming with me"
"I know! so I should prepare my suitc-...wait, what do you mean?"
"You won't drop out of college just to go with her, Lily, will you?
"But-...I knew I wasn't coming from the beginning..," She said with an upset face "I overheard you yesterday and I knew it but I just thought I could try... you'll come visit us, right Clara?"
"Ofcourse!.."
▪️That day we hugged each other and kept crying for two hours..I miss you Lily.., anyways back to the story.. they dropped me off to the airport, I hugged them goodbye and then got on the plane..well late..▪️
*The plane is landing soon, please remain seated*
My pov: (Ahhh.. Finally, they said someone will be waiting for me here, hmm.. let's see-)
"Clara?"
"Huh..? wait what!? you're here?"
▪️It was Anne, I didn't know she was gonna be here..▪️
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to pick you up! I'm the one sent from the hospital!"
"Uhh.."
"I'll be working with you!"
"Wait, why didn't you tell me?"
"Just a surprise, now you won't be alone here," Anne said while hugging me "It's not time for that now, there's someone waiting for us, let's go!"

"Clara, this is Noah,.. Noah, this is Clara"
"Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too!"
"Well we have to head to the hotel right now, Everyone works at the hospital is staying at the same hotel and this is managed by the hospital so,.. let's go" Said Noah, he was a tall guy with blonde hair and abrown eyes.. I was kind of blushing..
"Clara! Clara what's wrong?"
"Huh?..no I uhh.."
"Clara stop daydreaming, let's go!" Said Anne with an annoying tone
"I'm sorry!"
"It's fine, really!" Said Noah with a warm smile
