Chapter 1

I am finally going home, I was going to see mom, dad, Lilly and of course MIA after 2 years (it felt like I was gone for a lot more than that). I missed them all so much, but Mia, she had never left my mind.

Every night since I landed in Japan, I hoped that Mia and would continue where we left off, but as Boris told me (when I asked him to spy on her keep an eye on her )" Mia and J.P are madly in love", but (as Boris is incapable of understanding actual live human beings, especially girls) I was hoping he was wrong. In all the pictures I've seen of Mia and J.P., there was no sparkle in eyes like there used to be when she had her picture taken with me. ( I know, I know, it's pathetic of me to sit around and compare pictures of Mia and me and pictures of her and J.P., but what was I supposed to do, those pictures gave me hope) .

I took out the snowflake necklace (that I had given her on her birthday, the necklace that she threw at me in the hotel room, so long ago) and kissed it and promised that it goes back to the person it belonged on. There was no doubt in my mind that I loved Mia, and now that I was back I had every intention of making that clear, I just needed to find the perfect way to do so.

I landed in Manhattan a little after 6 and the minute my family saw me, they tackled me in a hug, even Lilly( who had apparently gone all goth, I mean she has purple streaks in her hair, her lips, eyebrows, and nose were all pierced and had all had multiple pieces of jewelry on them. There was black all around her eyes and Kenny ( I don't care that he wants to be called Kenneth) had his arms around my sister as soon as she stopped hugging me) who doesn't ever like giving or receiving hugs.

As soon as my family lets go of me, I started looking around frantically (which is really stupid, I admit because I had never even told her that I was coming back)my sister, realizing why I was looking around, came up to me and said: "She isn't here". I smiled sadly then smirked and said " Nice look", she narrowed her eyes at me, punched me and said, "Shut up". I smiled and ruffled her hair,( which got me a death glare and nail marks all over my arm) our parents just looked at us, rolled their eyes, then sighed.

We got my luggage to the cab and then we drove off to my parents place ( I was living there for a few days before I got settled into my loft), while we were waiting for the green light, I saw Mia walked out of Nobu with Tina, Lana, Shameeka, and Trisha ( Boris told me that Mia became friends with Lana and Trisha a little after I'd left and when I asked him why he told me that he had no idea, one day they were ignoring each other and the next they were all best friends, I thought he was messing with me because come on , Mia smashed her phone a few years earlier and Lana isn't the type to forgive easily, I was so going to ask Mia about this later, and hopefully she'll tell me because I am really curious) and Mia, Mia looked so stunning, she was wearing black skinny jeans, (that was tight in all the right places), with one of those cute short white top( that is oversized on the shoulder area, so one side kept falling off), with black wedges ( I wonder if she'd master wearing heels yet), her hair has in a cute ballerina bun, and she was wearing a pair of black feather earrings , they were all designer.

Lilly and my mom both noticed them walking out and I saw Lilly staring at them, with hurt and loneliness in her eyes, she quickly looked down at her phone, but not quickly enough for me not to see the sudden glisten in her eyes, I felt so bad for my sister, she hardly ever cried. My mom looked at Mia with such loving eyes ( she had always loved Mia a lot, she used to tease us saying that she had love Lilly and me as her children, but she chose to love Mia. She probably hadn't even talked to Mia for the last two years, considering Lilly and Mia's fight.) Tina said something to them and all of them started laughing, except Mia who had turned bright red ( I remember how easily she used to blush) and then said something to them and they laughed even harder, Lana gave her a hug!, and whispered something to her that made her whole face light up and she smiled her beautiful smile. The light turned green and we left, my eyes not leaving Mia until she was too far away to be seen.
