Chapter 12: Open Your Eyes To Love

It was already the 9th day before Mina and Chibi-Chibi leaves. Leo was depressed about it. He never shows his true feelings to her…

You've been searching the world to find true love
Looking in all the wrong places
When all of the time you've been blind to love
As plain as the nose on your faces…

Leo went outside, it was almost evening… Mina packed her stuff. Then when she tuck Chibi-Chibi early. She left and locked the door so she can't get out.

It's here, it's now. Open your eyes and see it.
Right here, right now. Open your eyes to love.

Mina was looking out the sea, she bring the Heart-Shaped Music Box and hear its music. Leo then saw her he was sad that she was leaving.

You've been down on yourself thinking somethings are wrong
Wondering why love has never found you…

She was wondering if she could stay or not… but no, her friends has a problem with friendship… she then had a tap on the shoulder. "Leo? What are you doing here?" Leo smiled, ''I wanted to see you." Mina giggled, 'Your so good at finding people."

Don't you know it's been right here all along
If only you'd look around you…

It's here, it's now, Open your eyes and see it.
Right here, right now, Open your eyes to love.

Mina hesitated for a moment. "Leo, I'm sorry I'm leaving. I couldn't take it my friends had a problem there." Leo sighed, "I understand Mina, you can't stay here." Mina had tears coming out of her blue eyes. She knew she can't stay here more longer.

Love has been right by your side oh so, close that you couldn't see.
If love could speak it would shout to the sky,
"I've always been here, I always will be."

Mina sighed, ''I'm going to miss you, Sonya, April, Casey and your brothers… and…" she was cut-off with silence. 'I can't take it!' Then Mina kissed him passionately on the lips. Leo was shocked at first, but then he kissed her back. He knew it was her true feeling and his. Then they let go, '' I'll always love you Leonardo." Mina said.

I'm here, I'm now. Open your eyes and see.
Right here, right now. Open your eyes to love.

Open your eyes.....
Open your mind to love
Open your heart to love…
