*Michael's P.O.V*
1 Hour before Madison and Diana got back to the house
Where are Madison and Diana? I asked
Oh I think them still there planning how Diana's going to kill Jackson later Justin answered placing some woods to burn for the bonfire
Oh right. Do you need help? I said trying to snob my own question
You...? Asking if I need help? Hahaha that’s new. But no my muscles can handle this on his own Justin said smirking
Well then wake me up if the wind blows your head to much I smirked putting my sunglasses on my eyes I hope she’s alright after all this day is almost done and her birthday is just an hour before it starts. Even I am excited to do this after what happen to her that year and that fear and pain is all over me after all. Sadly she can’t remember the old us that she really knows after all, everyone changes after she wakes up the way we act and treated her is more passionately and more fun than we used to be the best heirs on our family and act like royalties who can’t simply have fun.
Aren’t little too late for the sunglasses Michael? Sophie asked approaching me from my back C’mon Michael we both know you’re just hiding the fact that you’re thinking of something and you don’t want anyone to disturb you just to ask what are you thinking so that you’ll pretend you’re sleeping She continue making her seat beside me
And since you know enough of that why don’t you just shut the hell up Sophie and bother someone else or grab Madison and Diana on their way back here I said not giving her a look
You know Michael you can just say that you miss her even though were always with her but the fact that there used to be more than this that time you can’t have now She said facing the ocean And I know when everyone is busy you steal some stares at her like you are already contended on what you have now
Enough Sophie I simply said I’m doing this for her and for this, our own family and these feelings are already passed anyway so why bother. I once broke her heart that makes her take those decisions that luckily didn’t affect this now
You guys okay? Martin suddenly ask as he landed some blankets and towels on the sand
Yea we are, I’m just leaving to look for Jasmine anyway Sophie excused herself
What’s that about huh? You guys seem having a deep conversation Martin asked taking Sophie’s seat
I gave him simple look without removing my sunglasses
Okay Okay I’ll stop but Michael I know you and understand your point in anyway, But at least give it a try? I mean don’t you think she deserves it anyway? Martin said leaving me
Don’t you think we all do what I’m doing right now? Lying in front of her while facing her like we are all truth in front of her. I said not looking back
I loved her and I still do but after what happened on the past I can’t even be too good for her. I never know how to resolve that mess I did while she’s suffering that time. And now my feelings are into someone else more than I have for her
C’mon guys let get this fire started its getting cold out here anyway Luke said as his approach from my back
Aren’t we gonna wait for the two to come back? Jasmine asked Luke following his steps into the sand
Nah they’ll probably on be here in a minutes anyway He said smiling putting some gas into the wood to lit it Where are the others anyway? He asked
Sophie said she’s going to find you? Did you guys see each other? I asked pointing to Jasmine
Oh yea Sophie told me she’s going to the market to buy us some Marshmallows and such, I think Martin goes with her since we all know how badly Sophie drives car anyway Jasmine said joking around
So that solves everything I said standing up I’ll just fetch the lovebirds who might killing each other or making out right now leaving Luke and Jasmine preparing the fire
*Checked my phone* 8 pm
Where the hell are they they should be back from already?
*Knocking the Door* You guys better be out know before Luke break this door and pull you out two from this room n***d or not
Oh there they are Luke said as I take my seat facing direction where they come from
She looks funny but at the same time why do I feel they talked about something that they shouldn’t talk about

*Checked my phone* 8 pm
Where the hell are they should be back from already.
*Knocking the Door* You guys better be out know before Luke break this door and pull you out two from this room n***d or not
Oh there they are Luke said as I take my seat facing direction where they come from
She looks funny but at the same time why do I feel they talked about something that they shouldn’t talk about...
"Madison! Diana! C'mon we prepared some fire here join us!" Luke said as he saw Madison and Diana walking towards us
"I’ll just catch you guys here after" Diana said leaving Madison to us
"Hey guys... Diana is just going to clean up" Madison said as she approaches everyone
"Here clean up..." Justin said handling some towel to Madison
I can't remove my eyes to her I want to talk to her I know I should talk to her now.
"You're not going to talk to her are you?" Sophie said as she grabbed my hand and stops me from leaving
"Why shouldn't I? I still care for her and I can't handle this anymore... I love her and you know that" I said
"And that's the main reason why you shouldn't talk to her about that now" She continues "Look, I know it’s hard for you but you have to remind yourself that its way harder for us not to tell her about everything that happens on the past... we lost her once. I don't think we can even manage to lose her again"
"(Sigh) it’s just... These lies eating me all alive I love her Sophie but when I thought I lose her I can't stop loving Madison instead... But know she's here again and everything is going fine more than are lies I think I can't handle not being with her anymore" I explained as I go back to my seat
"But aren't you become unfair to Madison? She loves you... and knowing her I think she still does... I mean yes. There’s a history of you and Diana being together and such but it's on her past now. She can't even remember that you are her boyfriend before that accident happen, what makes you think that she'll have you back when the feeling are not there anymore?" She explained
"I know your point but..." I'm explaining
"Cut it out... You don't know what you need to do and that pretty obvious of you, But let me tell you this one Diana is like a sister to me and if hiding this (pointing everything on Michael) is what I need to protect her from the rest of the things that she needs not remember then be it. So back off Michael" She said threatening me as she stands up "I'm just gonna check up on Diana... Do you guys need anything?" she said not removing her eyes from me
"Nope but be fast will you... We should have fun all of us here outside" Luke demanded
*Sophie's P.O.V*
"Cut it out. You don't know what you need to do and that pretty obvious of you, But let me tell you this one Diana is like a sister to me and if hiding this (pointing everything on Michael) is what I need to protect her from the rest of the things that she needs not remember then be it. So back off Michael" I said to Michael "I'm just gonna check up on Diana... Do you guys need anything?" I told everyone
When Diana and her parents got into that accident I can't stop thinking what will happen to all of us if we lose her too not only for this friendship because her parents were like the noble one on the family losing them is like losing the light on this family tradition but luckily
Luke have been raised great enough to continue what they left but when we discover when Diana wakes up not having her memories we all felt that the light we have from this noble family became more lesser than we used to have. And the worst part ever since she wakes up all we have to offer her is the lies we made to protect her.
"Sophie I don't have excuses for you but let me remind you Diana is still my Girlfriend even she can't remember so my feelings for her is still here and nothing can change that" Michael said "Now excuse me before anyone notice us talking like we're hiding something from them"
I let him be on his way.
"What was that about?" Justin asked me as I seat beside him "You guys look pretty intense on talking" He continued
"Nothing really but can I ask you something? Like real thing question?" I asked Justin straightly
"Yea shoot" He said getting close to me
"Do you have feelings for her (Diana) and what I mean is not like a friendship thing but a real thing and please don't lie to me Justin" I said
"No lies?" He sigh "Well yes I can't really lie on that but you know I can't really love her more than friends right? Everything is getting settled for me anyway and to be able to protect this, all of this is to follow that path they created for us and we all know that expect for her... but you don't have to worry about me anyway, you should be more worried about her" Justin explain leaving me looking at Madison
"Hey you okay bae?" I asked approaching Madison who getting settle from her seat
We don't talk pretty much ever since Diana woke up, we just think that it will be the best thing for us to settle some distance to each other since we lied to Diana about everything and being together much more makes things worse for our feelings but neither of those reason changes the fact that I still love them no matter what.
"Oh yeah... I'm just tired; it's been a long day anyway..." She answered "Anyway...I realize that this... I mean everything is so painful to look at" she said looking at everyone laughing at Jackson's jokes
"It is, but maybe it’s just a fact Madison. I mean yes we are hiding some things to Diana but I bet everything you seeing right now along on how you feel are true and that is what matters don't you think? After all this is for Diana's birthday and I think we owe this much to her." I explained tapping her hand comforting her
She simply put her head on my shoulder saying "Yea I think so"
*Diana's P.O.V.*
*Ugh* My head keeps buzzing me and feel like getting more dizzy as the time passed so I decided to grab my bag where my medicine pack. I take two pills that my doctor gave to me right before we leave the hospital and few minutes later I manage to take a hot shower and put up my cozy clothes that I choose heads up.
"Diana?" a knock from my door broke a silence of my room it was Michael
"Yea Michael...? What is it?" I asked not leaving my place
"Uhm Luke told me to fetch you? Can I come in?" He asked
"Oh yea sorry" I said rushing to open my door "Come on in, I'm just gonna put something on my face cause I feel so dry earlier you can see them on the balcony by the way" I said seating in front of the mirror to fix my face
"Here" Michael said sliding a simple blue box beside my table
"What is this?" I asked
"I'm supposed to give you that last year but things happened and I never got the chance to give it to you until now" He explained "open it, I want to know if you'll like it" I opened the box and see a silver bracelet with my name curve on a simple plate in the middle with words "I love you" on the back
"Michael... this is gorgeous Thank you!" I said standing up to give him a hug
"Can I put it on you?" He asked
I smiled giving him my hand to put it and he simply holds it and guides the bracelet to settle into my hand.
"Thank-" I'm about to thank him about the bracelet when suddenly i feel his lips being on mine
*Takes a slow steps backward*
I didn't mean too!!" Michael started saying reaching for me
"What the hell was that about Michael?" I looked at him stunned about what happened
"I don't know... i just feel that if i didn't do it now there wills no other chances to do it." He explained trying to seat up on my table
"Why...I'm sorry Michael." I simply said to caught his attention
He looks at me like I’ve said something that i wasn't supposed to be saying so i continued what i wanting to say to him
"Whatever you feel for me, i have to ask you to throw it away or forget about it because i don't think that my love for as a friend has any chance of being more than that..." I explained myself looking at the dark beach trying to prevent my eyes to create some tears for him
"But-" His about to defend himself when suddenly Sophie's voice break out from my door
"There you are! Luke is looking for you Michael. I Think you should go back there already" She insisted pointing out her words about Michael going back to the others
He didn't say anything as long as Sophie demanded him but she gave me a look that can say "We're not done yet" before he leaves us on my room
"What was that about?" Sophie asked me as long as she hear my door closed
"He kissed me... after he gave me this" I told her showing the bracelet that Michael just gave me
“He did what?” Sophie urges
"What?" I asked getting confused on her not finishing her sentence
"Never mind I realized there's nothing wrong about you guys getting together anyway" She explained turning her back from me like she's trying to find something "Anyway are you done babe? Luke is actually getting furious about you coming down to join us."
"Ow yea I’m done...Listen... Can we keep between us? I don't think I have same feelings for Michael anyway" I said preparing myself to go with her "I'll clear that up to him when I got the chance I promise" I said giving her a smile
"Hahaha sure no worries" She smiled back at me grabbing my hand "Now let's go to party"
We go straight where the rest are and join them singing and laughing at anything they do. Enjoying the rest of the night being with each other
"Hey it's time!" Jasmine stated to everyone
She pulled out some big papers and pen from her back seat and pass it to everyone "Now make a wish and write it down in any way you want and we release it together later" She commanded as we pass each one a piece of what she's giving us
"Is this what i think it is???" I asked surprised
"Yes, it's a lantern that we will release for your birthday" She smiled giving me a wink
"Cooooool" I cheered making my move to write what i wanted to wish for
Minutes of writing everyone started to light the fire on the bottom of their lantern and prepare to release it.
Not long enough everyone is ready "You guys ready?" Luke asked everyone
*Yeaaah* (Everyone answered)
"One..." Luke started the countdown
"Two" Jasmines followed his count
"Three..." And lastly I give the last count and everyone release their lantern into the air while shouting their greetings for me "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANAAAAAAAAA"
Everyone got close to me for a group hug as the lanterns continue to get high into the sky far away from everyone.
