I want to go back to nana, to UK, I find it no good here with all the strangers in this house. I miss home badly, I miss Kia. I miss my brother badly. 

How can he just vanish like that? thinking back it's been a while we've spoken or messaged each other. How did he not say a word to me when he actually shares everything with me? May be he went out of the place due to work? could be a secret mission that he didn't mention?

That doesn't ring a bell, right? The military base he said he works at, also denied him working there. That hulk man clearly had an apologetic expression on his face. why? thinking back, I don't understand a thing. I tried to sleep shutting my eyes but sleep doesn't seem to come to me. I had no idea when did I finally fall asleep, only to be waken up by loud banging on the door.

I woke up with a headache to a ceiling I don't recognize. I grunted and took in my surroundings, that is when the events of yesterday came back to me. I was bought out my thoughts, by another loud bang on the door along a voice I recognize.

KIA!

I rushed to the door and opened it to find her smiling brightly to me. I hugged her like my life depended on her. when did she come back? Ivan, Drake and Emily also joined us into a big hug making me chuckle.

"Look at you! It's only 24 hours I left you" she exclaimed. I smiled at her sheepishly, trying to contain the tears that are threatening to escape my eyes, only to find smiling faces around me.

"no no no no nah! This shouldn't be the look on my friend's face who's visiting my city for the first time. Come on! get inside and freshen up now!

"Lunch would be ready in ten minutes" said Emily.

"Lunch?" I questioned.

" Yes my dear, it's half past noon and every one was worried sick of you" answered Kia pressing that 'every' prominently and rolling her eyes. I opened my mouth to say something but no words actually seemed to form.

I must have looked like a stupid fish right now. For sure! everyone started to burst in a fit of giggles. Damn my habit of embarrassing myself!

I smile albeit sheepishly and went back to my room and did just as she said.

My stomach growled loud to the aroma of my favorite dishes, making everyone chuckle as I reached the dinning area. May be Kia suggested making them? Never mind. I'm too hungry right now to even guess.

"Thank goodness, someone's hunger found it's way back" Emily smiled to me warmly.

I mumbled a thank you and started digging in. After lunch I volunteered to do the dishes. I wanted to thank Emily in a way or other possible. She was taking really good care of me. After completing the task at hand, I tried calling Andrew, again to get connected to the voice mail. I sigh sadly and went out of kitchen to find everyone in the living room fighting over the remote control of the television.

Kia who was holding the remote was grounded by Drake trying to get it " Drake, you better get off me" yelled kia.

"no way" Drake screamed.

"oh my! look at this! stop hogging her" Emily yells at Drake.

Ivan too joined the wrestling match on the ground for the remote. I can't help but laugh at them joining Emily on one of the sofa's. Kia is currently groaning at the elbow Drake slammed at her abdomen whilst kicking Ivan on his chest.

"Ivan! get your hand off my butt." Drake yelled smacking Ivan's arm and Kia bust in a fit of giggles.

Emily and I can't help it and ended up howling in laughter.

"All right! that's enough. Now break it!" yells Emily. 

The three of them broke their wrestling match and got up to Drake missing a slipper, Kia's hair tie lying on the carpet they've been wrestling till then. Everyone's hair is a mess but Kia's, particularly looked as if an explosion happened just then and there.

Now everyone started laughing their heart out with Kia wondering what was so funny.
