"Why don't we go to the backyard, that place is perfect for our snack time even though it's still noon, ahh that reminds me, did you two eat your lunch already, if not you could eat here with me, imma just eat again"-Alica

"oh right, sorry Alica, I almost forgot, no I forgot we have to go back before noon, or else.."-Michael

Liam's POV

'phone rings

"LIAMMMM!!!!!"-someone

"what is it Jake!, and no need to shout"-Liam

"can I not clean the garden today, it's so clean there's no need to clean it up"-Jake

"do whatever you want, is that all?, I'm hanging up-"-Liam

"No! wait there's more,"-Jake

"spill it"-Liam

"I saw a beautiful girl in the garden, she-"-jake

"wait what!!, no one else know about it except me, Lica, you, Sil, and the two, so how come, now there's even more! to be precise that place is supposed to be a secret in the first place!"

(damn.., I broke the rule once now there's more than five, what will she say about it if she finds out..)-Liam

"dude, can you lemme finish first?!"-jake

"fine"-Liam

"you still remember the time I rummage through your room right..?"-jake

"Hmm, what's your point..?"-Liam

"well, the girl you're with, in the photo beside your bed, she looks like her"-jake

"Are you messing with me?"-Liam

"dude you know I know I'm quite a joker, but you also know that I'm not a liar"-jake

"yeah... you don't know how much I want to believe you, but the girl in that photo would never come back,"-Liam

"But, I swear I saw her-"-jake

'hangs up'

(I've been waiting for 10 years... it's been a while, can I really see you again, Lica... but Michael... he is our brother that would be weird and that's why I purposely avoid him, but to think he'll know about the garden, and worse I didn't do anything about it... I really miss you Lica but I'm still not ready to face you, I'm afraid you already found someone better than me...)-Liam

Alica's POV (T.C 12:02pm)

"lily are you going to the town later"-Alica

"I'm not going, Young miss, but if you need something I will go"-Lily

"Ohh, nvm lily, I'm going upstairs, don't disturb me for the time being ok.."-Alica

"ok, young miss, as you command"-Lily

"and umm, can I have some potato chips"-Alica

" of course you can, young miss, I'll go get some now"-Lily

"Thanks, Lily"-Alica

'upstairs'

(at her room)

'sigh'( i still can't get it....., his age, his eyes, it matches, so how come uncle just James is his father..and I heard he's my brother... I mean my stepbrother...

how about Liam does he know who is Michael's father, Michael does look like Uncle James, but if I remember correctly uncle James does have the same eyes as me and my father so I must be overthinking, there's no way the rumors about him being my stepbrother is true-)-Alica

'knock knock'

"come in Lily"-Alica

"here's your potato chips, young miss,"-Lily

"Thanks, you can put it here, then you can do whatever you want now"-Alica

"yes, young miss"-Lily

'phone rings'

(huh..-, ohh)-Alica

"Sisssss!!!!!!!!"-Alex and Alexis

"oh hi, to you two, what's up?"-Alica

'they look at each other

"Well you see, we missed you so much, even though it's only been a day since you're gone"-Alex

"Yeah.. so we decided to go there too-"-Alexis

"Wait what!?"-Alica

"Told you This is a bad idea"-Alex 'whisper on Alexis

"It's fine, she won't get mad at us, besides mom and dad already gave their permission"-Alexis 'whisper back on Alex'

"You two realize I can hear you right"-Alica

"Sorry, sister..."-Alex

"That's right I forgot to tell you, we'll be there for a few minutes, bye!"-Alexis

'hangs up'

"Wait, what, you two-"-Alica

(Argghh! They must have thought I'm not going back,

and I'm pretty sure that they already know that I'm leaving, even before my farewell so they prepared to go here too after I leave,

And I'm also confident that they arrived here a few hours I arrived, and they wait for me to let my guard down,

I forgot how those two can be too much to handle, cause they are so well behaved this past few days,

And I must saw good acting, the four of them tricked me)-Alica

'knock knock'

'sigh' "come on in lily"-Alica

"Well... Young miss, you have a visitors"-Lily

(She don't know about, the twin cause she's always here, taking care of the house)

"Ohhh, yeah.. can you prepare some snacks for us Lily, and tell them i-"-Alica

"Sisssss!!"-Alex

"Alex, you should have waited downstairs"-Alica

"Sorry sister, I couldn't stop Alex.."-Alexis

"It's alright Alexis, btw...."-Alica

(Oh no..)-Alexis and Alex

"YOU TWO, WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK you're DOING, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU TWO ARRIVED HERE HOURS AGO, AND YOU ONLY COME HERE NOW, WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN"-Alica

"Umm, sis aren't you supposed to get angry about us following you here, not because we come to see you, hours later"-Alexis

"Yeah.. lexis have a point"-Alex

"No, because I let my guard down, I didn't think you two will follow me when that's what you two usually do,

And besides you two never been here before and you two are only 8 years old this year,

How do you two even found this place? I mean it's not far from the town but it's not part of the town"-Alica

"Ohh. We ask the town folks, that's what they are called right..?"-Alex

'sigh' "you two could use the room at the end of the corridor, it used to be mom and my dad's room, you two can use that,

ahhhh wait no! I changed my mind you two can use the room before that room and don't even think of opening the room next door ok!

Are we clear"-Alica

"Yes Sister"-Alexis and Alex

"In this house, there's a total of five bedrooms upstairs, and two bedrooms downstairs, the bedroom downstairs are for the workers in this house, there's one kitchen, and two living room, one is upstairs the other one is downstairs, there's a bathroom every bedroom and there's also a bathroom downstairs and outside

there's no swimming pool here, but if you wanna go swimming, there's a waterfall and a lake in the mountain,

that's all you have to learn first, and don't go causing trouble in the town, if you mess with someone there whoever it is, that means you're messing with all of the town folks"-Alica

"...but sister I wanna ask, why can't we go in the room next door?"-Alexis
