"You do realize that it's already morning, right?" I quickly turned around and saw him, who was staring at my face again as if there is something wrong with it.

"It's only one in the morning. There's no even sun yet, see?" I replied back and even gestured the dark sky.

When I turned around to looked at him again, he was gone. I looked around to find him, but I can't see him.

"Looking for me?" I suddenly looked at him, who was already sitting next to me at the poolside.

"Why do you keep disappearing?" I asked with so much confusion. He suddenly chuckled as he looked at me, deeply.

"I'm not going anywhere if that's what you want." He calmly said as he looked at the dark sky full of beautiful stars.

"Yeah, don't go anywhere, and when you do, please find me." I suddenly said, almost a whisper.

"Okay," He smiled and looked at me again, which made me smiled.

"Okay," I replied.

I looked again at the beautiful dark sky and only the stars who were giving us light. I closed my eyes as I felt the fresh wind against my face.

There are no people around here anymore, but I'm glad that they let us stay here for a while. For the first time, I let him stayed beside me without yelling at him or whatever I do to him when he's around.

We talked, we laughed, his jokes were corny, and yet it made me smile and laugh like an idiot. When the clock hits the three in the morning, we've decided to go to our room.

The next morning, he was gone again. I don't know where he goes whenever I don't see him. Does he have a girlfriend here?

I planned to have a night swimming later at night when everyone's gone so I can have it all by myself. I like the idea. I hope that it's not too cold, though, because I might die there alone.

I only wear maong shorts and a white off-shoulder while wearing a black bikini inside. I had breakfast and lunch alone, and I'm starting to like all the foods that they were serving us. It's all delicious. I could live a lifetime here!

I found myself on the deck while staring at the beautiful sea. I smiled as I wish that my sister can see this too with her kids and Roy. I should recommend this trip to them.

I put my phone out and open it. I stared at my phonebook, thinking if I should call my sister or not. But in the end, I've decided not to. I don't want her to think about me again. She should start worrying over her kids now instead of me. I already consumed half of her life by taking care of me. It's just that she never let go after what happened to our parents back then.

"She's a good sister." I unconsciously whispered to myself.

"So, you ran away from home, I see." I quickly hold the railings tight in shock when I suddenly see him beside me.

"Why do you keep doing that?" I said, almost yelling, "You are so unbelievable!" He laughed as he looked at me, deeply.

"I told you, don't let me find you." He said mockingly. I make faces at him with so much annoyance.

"Yeah, whatever," I whispered as I looked back to the sea, letting my thoughts occupy all my attention.

"What are you thinking?" I heard him saying. I unconsciously smiled.

"Nothing. Just wondering all the what if's in my life, you know?" I said. He didn't say anything, but he let me feels that he was listening, and that's already enough.

"I just wanted to be alone... but I don't want my sister to worry about me either," I said, "It was also hard for me to do this all by myself... I want to go somewhere, away from the pain and the people who cared so much for me. I don't want them to be sad or what. I am so much rockstar for that." I suddenly laughed out of nowhere.

"And you are indeed a rockstar, Ava." I suddenly looked at him, he was smiling at me as if he knows all my stories in life, and that gave me so much comfort that I could ask for anybody.

"I know right," I chuckled and tried to keep my tears from not falling. Maybe, I should thank myself for being strong enough.

"But I think you should call your sister and tell her that you're just fine." He smiled as he nods slightly, and held my hand, which was trembling, "Hey, I'm here. Whatever it is, I'm here, and I can be whoever you want to be even just for a while."

I breathe deeply in and out as I nodded my head, looking at him, telling me that everything would be alright. I smiled as I let out my phone again, dialed my sister's number.

"Hi, it's Kelly! I'm out for a while so, leave a message or whatever!" I suddenly chuckled when I heard her voiceover.

"Hey... it's your rockstar sister. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for leaving. I never intended to do that to you guys. But I'm okay." I sighed, "Just enjoy yourselves, don't worry about me because I'm pretty enjoying here right now so," I looked at him, who was chuckling while shooking his head for what I've said, "Bye, for now, Kel, I'll go home as soon as I can. I promise, love you." With that, I finally ended the call.

"You did great." He said.

"Thank you... for pushing me too hard for doing this." We both chuckled as we looked at each other.

I realized that it wasn't that bad to have a conversation with a stranger, you know? It's good to tell them stuff because they don't even know about you.

"So, what's your name, hot roomie?" I asked mockingly.

"Do you really need to know that?" He winced.

"Of course, I'm tired calling you names, okay?! You deserved to be called by your name so," I waited for him to answer until he suddenly laughed because of my silliness.

"It's Alex."
