Our Story: The Overnight

"I am almost there!" Bella said when we called her.

We decided to have a sleepover in our house because mom volunteered to drive us to the meeting place early morning tomorrow.

"Take care and hurry up!" Jane said then ended the call.

"Wow, you have a big luggage. Did you bring your whole house with you?" I jokingly said.

Jane is fixing her things. We are in my room while we are waiting for Bella.

"I wish I could bring our house. I' m not sure if I have everything I need." She is a bit worried.

"Did you make a list of the things needed? I always remind you to make one so you will not miss anything."

"I have one. But I feel like I'm missing something."

She brought out all the things from her bag and lay them all in my bed. I help her check and organize it. Jane literally brought a lots of things. From her clothes, toiletries, phone charger, some snacks, vitamins and the torn book?!

She still have it. Jane is the special someone which Shin referring to.

I sighed.

"Hey, why the sighing?" Jane asked.

I was about to answer when suddenly Bella opened the door like crazy.

"Hello everyone! I'm here! Sorry I'm late I ran some errands." Her energy distracted me from my dilemma.

"Hey, lower down your voice. Auntie is now resting in her room."

"Oops. Sorry. I' m just so excited that we will sleep together tonight."

"Did you have your dinner yet?" I asked Bella.

"Actually, not yet. Do you still have some food?

"Yes, we have some food in the fridge. If you want we can go down and have some."

"Andie, you are the best! I'm glad you are one of my best friends!" Then Bella hug me.

"Put down your luggage first." Jane said.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Wait, are they yours Jane? Why are they all out?"

Bella notice Jane's things in my bed.

"Andie is helping me to check if I brought all the things I need."

"Oh I see. Very you. Why did you bring that torn book?!"

Very observant of you Bella. I'm trying my best here to ignore it.

"Oh this one, hehe. This is the reason why I was late in the tea shop. I am trying-"

I exited the room as fast as I could. I don't want to hear it from her. Not for now. I feel like I'm not ready yet.

I went to our kitchen and saw mom preparing food in our table.

"Mommy, you're still awake?!"

"I heard Bella's voice so I went down to prepare some food for you guys. Eat this first before you go to bed. And don't stay up late. Remember we should be there at around six in the morning."

"Yes mom. Thank you! You go to sleep now. I love you."

"So sweet." Bella said.

They are now both in the kitchen and saw me and my mom hugging each other.

"Thank you auntie for preparing the food for us." Jane said.

"And sorry for disturbing you earlier auntie. I can't help it. I'm so excited to be here."

"Its okay girls. I'm glad that you decided to sleep here. Now, eat this food then go to sleep so you will not be late tommorow. Okay?"

"Yes auntie!"

We sat on our dining table and eat the food which mom prepared. I looked at Jane, she seems not bothered on how I acted earlier.

"Hey, I'm sorry for leaving you two earlier. I heard someone moving here and I got scared. I feel like I have to check it right away. Only to find out it was just mom."

Even though Jane seems unbothered earlier. I feel like I have to explain to clear the smoke.

"Its okay. I will do the same if I were on your shoe. Its scared to live without any man in the house to protect the family." Bella replied.

"Yeah, that's why its hard for me to leave mom alone."

"Don't worry. I'm sure there's nothing bad going to happen. We just need to have faith. All is well." Jane tap my back.

After we finish our food took a shower and brush our teeth, we went up to sleep iny room. We had a small talk before we turn off the light and sleep.

Tomorrow is the day. I hope everything will be fine. I hope I will be fine. I'm hoping for all the good things to happen.
