My Love Don't Change
Chapter 1: Going back
It was the longest day of the year. My mom packed the baggage we will be carrying back to our old house in Nushville.
The weather is hot and so, I've decided to wear my favourite sleeveless shirt together with a short blue pants, to lessen the heat
Mia
Aren't you excited?! We will meet Jerome and his brother again!
My sister squeal as she continue to fold her needed clothes
Julie
I'm excited but, not as excited as a certain someone who have a crush on my best friend's younger brother
I looked at her and smirk.
I chucked on how cute she is
We continued folding until_
Fl's Mom
Kids! Are you ready? Put your baggage inside the van so we can leave already!
Mia and I rushed the folding and just stacked the other clothes we didn't get to fold earlier.
Both of us sat on the back with our Older brother Michael.
Mom sat in the passenger seat
I locked the door and Dad started the engine. I looked at my brother
He's really gloomy looking
Headphones, laptop and a gloomy expression
He's sometimes hard to talk to and so, Mia and I are not really that close to him
Julie
*Looked at my phone*
I took a glance at my sister
Julie
What's with that face Mia?
Mia
Do you think he'll remember me?
Julie
Bro, Of course it's not like you've been gone for a century.
Mia
*Scratched her head and look over the window* I wish he remembers me
My brother suddenly responded.
Julie
*look at Michael* Yeah she really is
Julie
By the way...Stop with all this questions with an obvious answer Mia
Micheal
It's making me cringe *put his headphones back*
My brother closes his eyes and so do I.
Chapter 2: Wheelchair
We've been driving for hours now
The three of us become visibly bored.
Mia started to play her usual game mobile legends
My brother on the other hand started to do his assignment and reports, with markers, illustration board and all.
Clearly a weird nerd if you ask me
I'm contacting Aunt Lousa just like what my mom ask me to do
The phone started ringing after a long grueling minutes of me trying to reach them.
Julie
Aunt, It's me Julie. My mom wants to talk to you
Aunt Lousa
"Hello? Oh my, are you really going?
Fl's Mom
Yes, actually the kids especially Mia are very excited to see you and Jerome
Aunt Lousa
Well, I'll wait for you have a safe trip
I thought of my brother when mom said that WE ARE ALL excited. Clearly Michael isn't excited by all of this.
He just got dragged by Mom and Dad to join in and leave the house
another hour have passed and finally,
Fl's Mom
okay kids, we're here
I quickly looked outside. It is really our old house! The plant's, the lemon tree are still there just like how we left it
I look to Aunt Lousa's house
Julie
Hey Mia. Who's that?
I asked as I saw someone who's in a wheelchair
Mia
I don't know either....
We come down the car and I've realized....
It's Dion. My childhood friend.....But why is he in a wheelchair?
I walk towards them as my Little sister run towards jerome hugging him
Dion
Hello, Julie.....Welcome back
A warm Smile made my heart flutter
Chapter 3: I like you
We are in the living room right now. Our mothers are starting talking about their experiences.
Jerome, Mia my dad and uncle head outside to set the table and grill for the barbecue party for tonight.
Julie
*Look at Dion* Are you ok?
Dion
Yeah, I am.... It's just a bit uncomfortable to sit in this wheelchair
Julie
Dion....Do you mind me asking something?
Dion
No, not at all. What is it about?
Julie
That. *Point his wheelchair* Care to spill the tea?
Dion
Oh, hmm....I caught some sort of illness and I end up like this *Smiles*
It's a bittersweet smile he gave me
Smile that makes my heart feel sad somehow
Seeing him like this makes me want to cry for some reason
Julie
Aunty, can I come in Dion's room?
Aunt look at me and smiled. She nodded and immediately go back to their conversation
Julie
We're going inside your room so that you can rest
Julie
You said it's uncomfortable right?
Julie
Is it better yo lie down or just sit somewhere else?
He chuckled with his left hand covering his mouth
Julie
Why are you laughing?
He look straight into my eyes and smiled
Dion
Nothing... It's just that you've always been like that
I leaned closer to his face
Julie
Of course I would care! I like you afterall!
Dion
*Smiled* I would rather you don't
Julie
I'm not a kid anymore
