I pulled on my fingerless gloves tighter around my right hand before taking out my cellphone. I dialed the number written on the decade old paper and waited. On top of the paper it said if ever you need us, just call this number . By the time the call connected, my tears were pouring down.

"G-grandma?" I chocked out " please... I need you"

All I heard was silence. I was afraid that I got the wrong number and started to cry out more. Deflated that I had lost my last hope.

" Ai dear is that you?" I quickly shut up and stiffled my crying

"Grandma it's me..please" I pleaded.

My grandma instantly cooed me to calm down and tell her what's wrong as I never did call her broken like this. I always remember to calm myself down before talking to her or grandpa. I don't want to worry them. It's another story this time. So I told her what's wrong. I heard a gasp by the end and heard her mumble something.

" ok ok pack your bags, grab everything that's important to you and take a cab to the nearest airport there. You'll be coming here to Japan in three hours okay?"

I nodded numbly and remembered that she can't see me now so I whispered "okay."

" I love you child. Always remember that. We'll wait here for you" grandma said.

"I love you too grandma." And then I closed my phone. Grandma sent me the details via email of my flight and other things. I wrote it all on a piece of paper then tucked it in the pocket of my skinny jeans.

I quickly packed my clothes, undergarments, socks, shoes and my different fingerless gloves. I didn't really care to pick what clothes and just dumped it in my luggage. Thirty minutes left before she arrives. I need to hurry up. I put my laptop in my backpack together with all the money I've saved up since I was a kid. I quickly pulled out a dark blue coat out of my closet and wore it and also took out my combat boots. When I was finished lacing it tightly, I ran downstairs with my luggage ( which was thankfully light enough to carry by myself) and backpack. I went through the backdoor and stopped cold when I was halfway through. I took out my cellphone and smashed it on the floor. Making sure that I also destroyed the sim card. She can't know that I called for help. So with one last look at the house, I hailed a cab and went to the airport.

" Goodbye... Mother "

..

The flight from England to Japan took about Sixteen hours. I was pretty satisfied that I slept for the most part of it without any dreams and no one disturbing me. See when I boarded the airplane, the passengers and even the stewardess gave me weird glances. Probably because of the nasty bruise my cheek is sporting and my puffy eyes from crying. I stayed silent and just looked out the window. I ignored them because one, I'm not great with strangers and two, I've got a lot on my plate.

"Miss Ayakawa Ai, Here's your Luggage. Thanks for flying with us and have a lovely day." The employee cheerfully said and I nodded. I took my backpack and luggage and adjusted my face mask on my mouth. Thankfully I found one at my seat and wore it so my cheek won't be noticed. And my eyes were already fine by the time I landed.

I walked and found my grandparents together with their bodyguard Gen-san. They all looked worried and happy at the same time when they saw me. I quickly ran to them and hugged my grandparents for dear life. I cried when they held me. I told them how I missed them so much and how I love them dearly. It's been 4 years since I last saw them. They visited England that time.

" how are you kiddo? " Gen-san said to which I responded with a hug. " I missed you too " he ruffled my hair before hugging me tight.

Gen-san is also important to me. I've known him since I was a kid. And every time my grandparents visit or I , he's always there with them. He's been employed by my grandparents for almost 18 years and I can also see that they just don't treat him as an employee but like their son. And he always has been like my uncle/best friend. He also knew my situation.

" how about we get in the car and go home " said grandfather when I sombered up. I looked at him and smiled. That sounds good. Home. With people who loves me.

" That sounds great! I can't wait to show you your room! " gosh, grandma sure is excited. I sweat dropped. I wonder what grandma got my room to look like.

I think Gen-san noticed my worried face when grandma mentioned the room because he laughed " don't worry, I'm absolutely sure you'll love it. "

We went inside my grandparents black car, me and my grandparents at the back while Gen-san drives. On the way to my new home, I keep 'wow-ing' at the view. This has been my 2nd time here in japan. The last one was when I was in Elementary. I don't remember that much anymore. My grandparents and even Gen-san laughed at my child-like behavior to which I ignored. The view is spectacular! And even more so when we arrived at the neighborhood. All I see are big houses and mansions lining up each side. All of them are beautiful.

"Wow yours is still as beautiful as ever grandma,grandpa " I said like a child with wide eyes.

" Indeed. It's your grandma's dream house" grandpa side hugged me.

Their house is a beautiful two story mansion with a front garden and a terrace. Did I ever mention that my grandparents are rich? No? Well yeah. My Grandpa is 60 yrs old but still young and strong. He still works at his own company of Computers and Cellphones. He is the one that gave me my laptop for my 13th birthday and till this day I still use it. My Grandma on the other hand is in her early 50's but still looks young and energetic. She still works like grandpa. She manages her own line of sweets shop and she likes to give me a daily dose of pastry. And boy do I tell you that the one she makes are the best in the world.

Gen-san opened the door for us and I instantly smelled the vanilla scent of the house. Thanks to my grandma's baking hobby.

" it smells tasty in here" I laughed.

"I see you're hungry already huh" Grandpa said.

Gen-san proceded to take my luggage to my room. I protested that I can do it alone but he still insisted. I said a thank you to him in return.

Grandma called someone and I saw that it was a maid. Although my Grandparents are rich, they're still humble people.

" Ai-chan, this is Fumiko" The maid smiled and bowed to which I returned. " just call her anytime you need something. " I nodded.

Fumiko looks nice and down to earth. I hope we do get along nicely. Grandma turned to her.

" Fumiko dear, why don't you and the others start dinner and make sure to include your specialty." She looked to me next " she makes a great hot pot!"

I giggled and said that I can't wait to try it. fumiko-san then happily bowed then went to the kitchen. Me and my grandparents went upstairs to my room. For the nth time this day, I wowed. My room is big! Well for me that is. I was not used to a room this big compared to England. It has a dark wooden floor, cute white and peach colored rug on the center, has its own veranda, a peach colored queen sized bed filled with stufftoys, a white study table on the right side complete with stationary items and a bookshelf next to it. A white closet is on the left side of the wall and next to it is a door that lead to my own bathroom. My room is cream colored but what caught me was the ceiling.

"Wow"

"We knew how much you liked stars." Grandpa started.

"So we had someone paint a galaxy full of stars on your ceiling. So you can always look up to them."

I teared up at what they said. They remembered.

" and the best part is that the stars glows in the dark at night. So when you go to bed, they'll always light up for you "

I hugged my grandparents and said thank you. " This is the best room I've ever had. thank you very much"

" anything for our beautiful granddaughter " they both said and left me to my own devices to unpack my things. I know that they're always trying to spoil me whenever they see me. I always try to stop them when it gets too much but I sometimes couldn't deny what they want to do because I'm they're only granddaughter. All of my cousins are boys. So yeah.

I finished unpacking my stuff which was not a lot cuz I was in a hurry, and went straight to the bathroom to take a quick shower. After showering, I took out my white capris, light pink blouse, undergarments, and my light pink fingerless glove with a white ribbon on the wrist. I got dressed then went downstairs to eat with my new family.
