Chapter 1

Just as after we had our breakfast, I went back to my room to make some of my home works and too good no one gave us a school work to work in at home. So, I just scrolled through my timeline, when a notification popped in

It was a message coming form unknown.

"Hey HAILEY BALDWIN. I'm Alexia the girl last night at the concert!"

Oh this is the girl I met last night. How did she got my number? I didn't remember giving anything to her, with my number on it. We share text messages for the whole morning, making me know her well.

*knock*

*knock*

"Come in!!!" I shouted as I post pictures from the concert last night. It revealed Mom, popping her head inside the room and her half body was covered by the door.

"So Dad and I just decided to go to cottage. You wanna come?" Mom asked and I nodded instantly. Quickly clicking the POST button and I changed into my summer dress already.

I've been so wanting to go there before I head for New York tomorrow.

The moment the car stopped, I already knew we finally reached our destination. I slowly opened my eyes to see our extended family happily waiting in the porch.

"Oh they're so excited to see us" Alaia said, preparing herself too. I just tied up my hair and hid my phone and earphones as well to my bag and left the car.

"Wai-wait!" I told Dad because he was about to lock the door already.

"What?"

"I'll get my phone" I said and so I opened the door car again and reached for my bag, slowly zipping it then taking my phone out of it.

Why did I even left it here?

I said to myself.

"Haiwey!!!"

I instantly divert my eyes to my little niece sitting cutely in the stair porch. I ran to her then carried her as she laughs so cutely.

"What did you say? What did you say?" I repeated kissing her tummies for multiple times as she continue to laugh.

"Stowp! Stowp!" She was hopeless trying to make me stop but I continued.

"Hey that's enough" My sister said and took away my niece then she did the same thing I did too her. I just rolled my eyes and went inside. Granny welcomed me, giving me one of her shawls. She always gives me her shawls. I gladly accepted it and since I'm hungry I took a plate then got some Aglio Olio.

"Can I visit you some other time in New York?" Ben asked, one of my cousins around my age.

"Sure. Why not? We just live in the middle of metropolitan" I mumbled as I'm happily munching the pasta. It's so delicious. My aunt is so good at cooking.

"He've always wanted to go to Los Angeles" Ben's mom said, joining our conversation in the couch.

"Why not?" My mom barge in sitting right next to me.

"You know we live at Mom. I told him when he turns 18, I'll give him that freedom since her big sister is already there"

"And finally I'm turning 18 next year" He winked at his Mom who groaned and turned her back at us.

Mom chuckled.

"You're so cruel, Mom" I said.

"Oh c'mon! I knew her that much" She chuckled again and stood up to join the oldies at the Lazy Susan table.

"I miissed youuuu"

I was startled when someone hugged my leg.

Oh! It's Pam!

"Hi Pammy Pammy" I carried her once again and she kissed me on the lips out of the blue. "I missed you" She hugged me tight.

"Awwww" I told her.

"Me too! Me too!" I heard another little voice again to see Timothy wanting me to carry him too.

"They missed you so much" Georgina chuckled and carried Timothy, his brother.

"I want Haiwey!" He insisted and we all chuckled.

"Alaia would you please carry timothy" Mom said diverting their attention to us.

"Mooom, no one likes me" She said rolling her eyes and we all chuckled. Georgina brought me outside together with our other cousins.

This is so breathtaking.

I said as I stare into the blue crystal clear water in front of us. I left my shoes at the parch and let my feet touched the sands.

"Haiwey why don't you just live here with us" Gummy said with a pleasing voice.

"Awwwe if I only could but no. I always visit here every weekends and sometimes you guys visit me home so it's awesome right" I said to him and his face saddens.
