I'm out to go to the place where we always meet. The tree where we crossed paths, where we promised to be friends forever. Where we can talk out and shout our problems. A simple tree yet so special to both of us. A tree that became our second house.. An old oak tree.

   I arrived at our meeting place and saw Coco leaning on the tree with something on his hand, it looked like a rectangular box with a tie. He immediately hid it in his Pocket when he saw me coming, waving at him.

   "I'm fine thanks to your smile, Coco-nii chan~" I replied back to him with a smile. " What's the thing you we're holding a while ago?" I asked him out of curiosity.

   "Ohh this?" He said while showing the red rectangular box He's holding to me "It's a g-"

   "Coco..?" I got shocked and immediately hid behind Coco who's now staring at the girl who suddenly spoke behind me.

-Coco's POV-

   "Here I am staring at the girl who suddenly appeared behind Nica, She's smiling at me. A smile that reminds me the time when my heart is still obsessed with someone.

   "Elaijah?" I asked out of shock.

   She smiled at me as an answer and Looked at Nica that's hiding behind me with curiosity.

   I pat Nica's head to calm her, I looked at her with a smile to tell her to calm down. She smiled back at me and I hugged her then looked at the girl who's now looking at Nica with a curious face.

   The girl was Elaijah. We first met at a Birthday party. She was a friend of my old friend Mika.

-Flashback-

   I am currently heading to a birthday party, my friends birthday party. Her name is Mika and She just turned 18 today while I am 20 years old, I am more than half a month older than her. Mika is a Childhood friend of mine and a very lovely person, she's always smiling and cheerful.

   I arrived at her house and knocked the door before entering.

   "Good Eveni-" I didn't manage to finish my greetings when she suddenly approached me and hugged me.

   "You're finally here! Coco, I have someone to introduce to you~" She cheerfully said to me then drag me into the living room.

    There I saw a beautiful girl sitting in the couch looking at me with a smile. She's so beautiful that I can't help it but to look at her. Long black hair, black eyes and a thin pair of lips. Definitely my type.

   Mika sat beside her and I sit in front of them. Mika whispered something to the girl and then they both looked at me. They stared at me with a smile so I slightly got flustered and blushed. I looked away trying to hide it but it seems that they already noticed it because they both Laughed.

   "Aren't you gonna introduce yourself, Coco?" Mika said while laughing.

   I don't know what to say or how to properly introduce myself because all I can think is her beautiful face. Mika seems to notice it and she whispered something to the girl while looking at me with a grin.

   "He is my friend, his name is Coco. He's a very kind guy so I'm sure that you two can be friends." Mika said introducing me to to  I smiled back at her

   I smiled at her as response to Mika's introduction of me and she smiled back. I reached out my hand to shake hands with her. "Coco, Nice meeting you uhm-"

   "Elaijah, Elaijah Silvenia." She said to me "Nice to meet you too"

   "Yeah" I said, trying to avoid having direct eye contact with her.

   "Same here, Nice to meet you Coco." She said.

   Afterwards, We talked about a lot of things about ourselves and laughed like crazy until dawn.

Month passed and Elaijah and I got closer. The three of us walked to school while talking about anything.

   Elaijah's so kind and so sweet. She's the type of girl who'll always there for you when you need her, and will do her best to make you laugh. I got feelings for her because of that. But she doesn't seem to know it yet, and I'm too scared to make a confession, scared of a negative outcome. So I just like normal every day. Hard but the safest.

   Days went like a flash and I haven't noticed that my love for Elaijah is getting deeper and deeper and every day that passes with her felt like only a minute. I don't know what was happening to me, but only one thing is for sure; My love for her is overflowing.

   'How long would I be able to hold it in?' I've been thinking about this thing for a while now. Till when would I be able to hide my feeling for her? Should I confess? But what if she rejected me? Would I be able to accept it? Who knows, I'll just think about it when the time comes.

.

Some Days Later

   My friends at school found out about my feeling for Elaijah, and they started teasing me endlessly specially when they feel Elaijah's presence. And that forced me to make a confession to her.

   The confession went smoothly as she has secret feelings for me too.

   So we started going out. Every morning I go to their house, and we walk to school together with Mika.

   That lasted for about a year and a half, the longest relationship I ever had, Then we broke up. The reason? I don't know. 'I'm Sorry.' Is the only thing she said to me while crying before she ran away. Leaving me speechless.

.

-Back to present-

   "Coco-nii, who's that girl?" Nica asked, looking at Elaijah

   "Uhh, She's Elaijah, an old friend of mine" I said with a smile. I can feel that Nica's a little scared of Elaijah who's looking at her with a curious face.

   "Hi, Coco" Elaijah said with a smile. She's still the same as before. Beautiful.

   "What are you doing here?" I said in a serious tone. I admit that I have a little grudge at her for leaving me behind and disappearing without explaining to me why.

.

.

.

"Well, I just came back from Canada then I remembered this place... and you" She said while looking at me, then she looked at Nica who's still confused on what Elaijah was talking about "So, is She your Girlfriend?" She asked

.

.

.

"No. She's my sister, Nica"

   "Sister?" She looks at Nica and examined her

   "But I've only been gone for a few years right? And back then you're an only child. How can that girl be your sister?" Elaijah asks in a curious tone. As I thought, she won't believe it. I can also feel that she doesn't like Nica.
