Chapter 9 - Destination That We Can't Reach

(Curtis POV)

"You must mistake me for someone. My name's Lonia"

Her words struck me down and I can't move. There's no way. There's just no way she forgot us.

"Yeah, Lonia Hart right?" my brother asks. And we just look at her and she nods slowly looking still as clueless as before. She is Iya! Then why is she doing that to us? It's been years since we saw each other. I don't know why but I think my eyes are watering I haven't felt like this for a while now. I'm being a wimp all over again and I don't give a damn right now what do I look, as long as she's in front of me.

I grab her and hug her again. I just don't care whatever she thinks of me the only thing that's on my mind is that she's here. "Iya, Lonia or whatever, I just miss you so much" I tighten my hug on her making sure that it's real and not just my imagination. Then I felt my brother's hand on my shoulder saying that I should let go and I did.

Once I let go and look at her I saw her eyes and it's like she's about to cry. And I guess she notices it too and a tear escape from her which she wipes then asks, "Why am I crying?" My brother answers her, "Maybe even if you forget us but your heart didn't." Hearing that, she looks at us more confused than before. I can feel the tension in the air as me and my brother waits for her answer. That's why I offer her to sit on the swing while I climb in the treehouse to get some blanket so that me and my brother can sit on it.

Then when I come down I look at my brother and he looks at me, hinting me that she hadn't spoken. I look at her figure, her petite waist, her slim legs it just makes it hard for me to look at her even more otherwise I'll do stupid things. As my brother is done setting up the blanket we sit there still with this annoying silence.

"Uhmm" my head shoots her way as I hear her soft voice. "What do you mean that the heart doesn't forget?" that questions lights some spark of hope in me and I bet also in my brother. That's why I eagerly answer her, "That you still might have feelings for us."

"But that's wrong." I froze once again as I hear those words.

"Why is it wrong?" I hear Calvin's voice asking the same thing I wanna ask. She looks uneasy as she's looking at us trying to assess the situation. I look at her fingers fiddling, the sign she unconsciously does whenever she's nervous and I smile at that. She's still cute as always.

"Because I have someone in my heart already."

With that my world just crashed.

(Kendall's POV)

We are preparing to leave when Lonia came back. "So, what happened?" I ask her.

"I saw them but as you said I pretended to have an amnesia." I nod at her and I just grab some snacks for the road. Noticing that she's standing there and it seems like she's thinking deeply. I clear my throat which probably brings her back to reality. "Oh, sorry I was just thinking of something."

"Seems like it, what is it about?" I ask. She just smiles brightly at me and shakes her head. "Nothing don't mind me. School stuff." I go near her and hug her. "I know it's hard for you that's why I want to say thank you." She shakes her head, "No Kends, it's alright you don't need to say it. I'm always there for you."

I just smile at her. No matter what happened she never forgets to smile. You can never see her down or sad nor even crying. She makes herself as bubbly as she can but I've been with her since we're little. That's why I know how kind-hearted this girl is and also a cry baby. I broke our hug and pat her head. "Thank you Lonia, I'm really lucky to be your friend."

"Yeah, you bet! I'm doing what you're great secretary should be doing in your company," she says annoyed and at the same time proud of herself. Well, she is kinda my secretary there and my current secretary is my cousin who is Lonia's boyfriend. Yup, you heard it right. Lonia has a boyfriend and it's not one of those two dumb twins.

I just laugh at her and grab my bags but then we hear the door opening, "You know you love this great secretary." I just smile at his antics while Lonia goes over to him and hugs him. Then I saw Arsyn behind him, "We have an annoying guest."

I just nod at her and then we head outside to our car. "Lonia you don't mind if I go with Kyle and you go with Arsyn and my baby?"

"Yup! No worries, take care of dumdum for me and I'll take care of your car." I just laugh at that, "You know my car is more precious than dumdum here."

Lonia then acts like she's thinking then said, "Oh, you're right!" hearing that Kyle then scoffs muttering a 'no I'm not'. Then Lonia just pats his head and bids him goodbye and take care. Then I got in Kyle's car looking at them go.

"I'm still not in favor of you for Lonia. But it seems like taking good care of her so I won't say a word." he just smirks at me.

"Thanks cus but I am not planning on hurting her just like those idiots do as long as she's mine." and I just sigh and ignore this guilty feeling that I had in my chest. Sorry Lonia, this is one way to forget the past.

I'm really am.
