Chapter One

The place was dark, loud and extremely hot. All that was visible were the glowing sticks that were swung back in forth along with the screams from the crowds. The cheers were getting louder as Oil and Lift began to dance before the song ended. "OiL! OIL!" replied from the crowd and followed by Lift's name. A huge smile appeared on both of their face as they got ready to end their song for the night.

"Thank you!" Oil quickly said as he took a deep breathe. Lift said the same thing. As they a couple of bows, they made their way to the back of the room to get cleaned up. "AAAAAAAAH Oil and Lift we love you!" scream from the crowd. "I just want to thank you all my lovely fans for coming out tonight to support me and Lift," Oil said through the microphone. "I love you all and please stay tune for upcoming concerts, we'll love to see you there too!" Said Lift. Once both made it back to their room, their producer walked up to them.

"Oil, you have a fan here to see you," he said nicely. "Where?" Oil asked irritating. At that point Oil didnt really want to see anybody. He was hot, sweaty and tired. He wasn't ready to see anyone nor talk to anyone. Eversince, his girlfriend passed away, he was never patient with anyone else. His former girlfriend was always there in the back room cheering him on and was there to comfort him after the show. But now, she was no longer there. He never speaks to anyone after the show but stay quiet.

"Here, she comes," his producer as he moved aside. There an ordinary girl stands with her camera hanging from her neck. A photo of Oil in her hand. She had a big and gentle smile with an obvious look on her face. "Hi, Oil," she said softly. She was so nervous, she wasn't able to say a word. She is a big fan of Oil and Lift but for some reasons, Oil was the one who catches her attention in any lakorns and music videos that he done.

She walks closer to him as he got up from his chair. She wasn't a tiny girl, he thought to himself. The smile remained on her face. she wasn't a pretty girl like the girls he's been with. "My name is Christina, I am your biggest fan and I enjoy all your songs and movies," She began. "Can I take a photo with you and have your autograph?" she asked shyly. Oil looks at her and giggled carelessly. It made her uncomfortable but she didn't mind, she was far way too happy to be seeing him.

He snatched the photo from her hand and grabbed a pen to right his name on it. A confuse look came upon her face. Everyone that was around already had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. Lift looks at Christina and can feel the awkwardness that she's having and felt that she will burst out in tears. "hi, Christina," Lift introduced himself. Christina regain her smile and turn her attention to Lift. She shook his hands. "Are you not going to have a photo with me?" Lift asked jokingly. Christina giggled softly and answered. "I want a picture with you too."

Once Oil was done, he harshly handed the picture back to her causing her to loose her balance. She stepped back confused. He turned away but she stopped him. "Can I have a picture too?" she asked shyly. She wanted a picture because she spent so much money on tickets and the VIP ticket. She aleast wanted to make the money worth it though it was worth everything to her.

He turned around slowly and smile. "I'm sorry, I don't want any photos taken right now," he said grouchy. "Why?" she asked. Oil was getting more irritate than he was before. His hands rolled up to a fist. "PLease leave," he asked nicely. "But I spent so much money to come see you," She answered and about this time she was about to cry. "Please, I am really in no mood for pictures," he told her. "Come on, Oil," Lift said patting his shoulder. Oil quickly pushed Lift away on his chest causing Lift to fall. Christina was so shock, never in her life she thought Oil was capable of those things. "I said no, then is a no," he said madly. Christina drops her picture and already tears were forming in her eyes. She couldn't believe her eyes. First time, in her life, meeting Oil was a disaster. She walks slowly towards him. She look at him straight in the eye.

"I'm sorry but I think you should leave," oil apologize facing the other way. Keep his gaze away from her. When she was infront of him. She slowly raised her hand and placing it on his shoulder. Everyone panic, thinking that she was going to hit him. Her hand on his shoulder than slowly and gently it made its way to his neck and face.

Shivers traveled down through his whole body, he finally fix his gaze on her. Seeing her watery and shiny eyes. AS she caress his cheeks, a tear finally made its way out her dark brown eyes. He noticed that she never blink, her tears fell naturally and emotionally. Both Christina and Oil stand infront of each other not saying a word. The room was quiet, everyone's gaze was on Oil and Christina. AS she continue to caress his face, he finally speak. "Leave please," he whisper.

Christina smiled one more time before she exited the room. "Farewell," She said and left the room. With that being said. It brough him memories, the day his girlfriend left him. Her last words, "Farewell." When he came back to reality. She was gone.

"Oil, how can you be so cruel and careless?" Lift said pushing him away. "She didn't do anything wrong to you, can't you even fulfill that simple request?" "How would you feel if that was you, can't you see she's our fan and yours?" the questions continues.

Oil stood there quietly. He couldn't understand what was going on, couldn't understand why things weren't like it used to be. He wishes Aum was there beside him comforting him. Oil never thought things can change so much after Aum's death. He took a deep breathe and walked away from Lift. "Oil," Lift called. Oil ignored and left the room. "I probably just need some fresh air," Oil thought to himself.

Lift watched as his friend leave the room, suddenly he realizes something on the floor. The picture of oil with his autograph. "Poor girl," he thought. He pity Christina. She seems like a sweet girl. Even though, it was his first time meeting her but she was different from every girl/ fans that he met especially those who favored Oil. Christina reminded him of Aum.

Chatpter two

At the studio, Oil looks as if he has recover from last week. His face looks alot more friendly than it was the week of his concert when that incident happened. "Oil, how are you?" Lift asked as he handed him a water bottle. Oil smile and say, "Alot better."

"Are you ready to watch the video from our concert last week, I heard that our camera guys asked alot of female fans to be apart of it," Lift laughs. "Put it on," Oil told his producer. "Hey, don't tell me what to do," he said jokingly. The three of them along with the other workers laugh along.

The video started, as they watched the videos there were tons of interviews with the fans. So much of, "Oil! I love you!" "Lift, marry me." then suddenly, there was a quick clip of her. The girl caught Oil's eyes, he quickly demand them pause it. "What is it?" his boss asked. "That girl," Oil answered curiously. His eyes squinted as he studies the figure in video. "Oil, isn't that Chr---ist-i---na?" lift asked trying to remember the name. "Thats it!" Oil said excitedly as if he just won the lottery.

"Hey, you're right," their boss agreed. Christina, out of all girls, she was the only one that was not interviewed. But she was apart of the video while the interview. She was in the background, all by herself, covered. She looks confused just in the background, with her camera and picture in her hands. Looking around.

Oil remember when he met her last week. She was pale and light skinned. Had a beautiful smile with watery eyes. He remembers the way how she caress his face in ways he can't explain. The way how she looked into his eyes with tears. Without a blink, a tear drop. She was even able to manage a smile after a harsh comment.

Randomnly, he asked his boss. "I want to meet this girl again."

Everyone looks at him with wide eyes even Lift. Its been such a long time since, he ever used the word "Meet." "What?" he asked confused. "i just want to apologize," he said smiling.

"I will have the secretary look her up," his boss replied as he press play and continue watching the movie. Once the movie began to play again, Christina was out of sight.

Christina's part

As she sat down in her living room watching the clips from Oil's latest concert. The image of Oil pushing Lift pooped in her mind. SHe shook her head. Christina is still stunned about everything, she met oil and lift but everything went the opposite way of what she had planned. "If I wasn't there, maybe these things wouldnt had happened," she thought to herself.

She turned off her T.V. and at the same time, there was a knock at the door. When she opened it, it was her best friend. Ken. "Ken," she greeted happily and hugs him. "Wow, I'm surprise that you're actually happy to see me," he said happily. She frowned at him and smile. "How can you say that, I'm always happy to see you, you're my friend," she said as she close the door. Ken sat down on the couch, followed by Christina.

"So tell me, how was the concert?" he asked her. She turned away, not wanting to talk about it. "Ken, can we not talk about this," she asked and sigh. "Hmm, let me guess, it didn't go so well?" he asked. She nodded. "But you met Oil right?" he asked. She nodded her head again. "Then what was so bad?" he asked. She just shook her head.

"OK, OK," he said.

"Are you not teaching today?" he asked her. "No, I'm still on vacation, I'll be back tomorrow," she answered sadly.

Ken has been her friend ever since middle school; he quickly became friends with her when he first met her, with Christina being the new student at his school. Ken has always been there for, through no matter what. Deep inside of him, he had love Christina from the start but never had the courage to confess to her. Christina never showed him any feelings other than love and care for a friend. He didn't want to loose her. Therefore, he kept his feelings to himself and stood by her through whatever.

"Christina, I think you're working too hard," Ken told her. She looked at him and laugh. "Me? working too hard? Ken, I'm still young, I haven't even gotten the chance to work," she said laughing. "I want you to take care of yourself," he said quietly. "I am," she said.

Chapter three

ONe month later

At the studio, with lift and Oil. It was their boss, secretary and a couple of workers. "Oil, I think I found the person you are asking about," the secretary began. "Proceed," Oil insist.

One of the worker turned off the light and turned on the overhead projector. A huge picture of Christina pop out. "Christina Vang is originally from Sacramento, California. She is 23 years old. She graduated high school at age 17 and graduated college at age 21. She is very educated and a workaholic. " the secretary stated.

"She is the only child and her parents had died when she turned 18." At the same time, Oil felt something stabbing in his heart. "Her occupation is a dance teacher and a photographer," he said. When she turned 18, she was left with nothing. Her and her parents didn't make much income but they were able to manage their life. Christina is currently living on her own and working two jobs. Also, she is volunterring babysitting and teaching arts to kids at a place for crafts for kids."

Some more pictures came out, pictures of her working with kids. That really touch Oil, he smilled at all the pictures that was taken. She had the same smile that he saw a few weeks ago. "Oil, I have her files here, her address and phone number," the secretary said as he handed him the folder.

[michellewii]

That night, Oil left home with full of papers about Christina. He knows that everyone that he works with are thinking that he wants to pursue her. But as he told him, its not true. He just wants to apologize to her for what he had done.

When he got home, he relax on his bed with his bad towards the bed frame. He took out one of the papers. It was actually cut out from a newspaper. It read, "Young girl save a little girl's life" next to it, there was a picture of Christina and the little. He read continue reading more information about it. She was only 14 when she donated her kidney to a three year old girl who was in need.

There he went on to Christina's interview section.

Inter: How were you first notify?

Christina: I was home alone that day, I received a phone call. When the nurse explained to me what the call was about. I didn't know what to say or think. Other than I needed to save this girl's life. I quickly said yes without even trying to think. I was still young and yet I made a decision without discussing with my parents. They were very disappointed when I told them later that night. But in the end, the decision was on me again. The request was for me. That girl needed my help. I had to help her. Two weeks after, I was scheduled for check ups and testings. Next thing, I noticed I was numb and everything was dark.

Inter: How did you feel when you woke up? What first came to mind?

Christina: I remember that was the worse pain I have ever felt, not being able to move. I was aching all over my body. But that didn't bother me much, what was on my mind, was the little girl. My hopes that she will be ok and safe. I just hope that what I did was helpful. Not that I wanted to be someone important. It's that the little girl was only three years old. She still have a whole life ahead of her. I couldn't say no.

As he continue reading all the interview questions, he came upon good information and articles about her. She seem to be very involve with the community, he thought to himself. Especially, little kids. She teaches dance and teach the, educational stuffs. Then, she volunteers baby sitting and taking childrens to explore nature on her free time. He was so amaze by the feedbacks that were written about her.

After reading all the articles, he finally came to last article. Which was about her parents who both died of cancer. She lost her dad, a month after she turned 18 and lost her mom before she turned 19. Due to the same issue. Lukemia.

There was a picture of the funeral home and a headshot picture of Christina in tears. He took a close look at it and wonders about it.

*Flashback*

At Aum's funeral

As Oil stand by her coffin, starring down at her light and pale face. He never imagine this day would come. He never picture loosing AUm to anyone in his life but loosing her forever was much worse.

*Flashback*

At Aum's funeral

As Oil stand by her coffin, starring down at her light and pale face. He never imagine this day would come. He never picture loosing AUm to anyone in his life but loosing her forever was much worse. His tears fell endlessly. "Aum I'll never love again," he said caressing her one last time.

*End of Flashback*

Chapter four

Christina got to her workplace, excited to see all the kids happy faces again. She got out of her car with a huge smile. "It's going to be a good day," she thought and walk inside. When she enter the studio, all her students came running in to hug her and yelling out I miss you teacher. The assistant walks up to her and greeted her. "Christina, I don't know how you manage to handle all these kids all day, I almost can even handle it for a minute," she said giving Christina a hug.

"Kat, it is not that bad," Christina said and returning the hug. "Well, now that you're back, I think I shall take a break," Kat said winking her eye. "You shall not," Christina said jokingly.

When Christina settled in, she was ready to be in charge. "All right kiddos, who's ready?" she asked happily. She slipped on her pointe shoes and begin doing tondus. "Follow me," she said pointing her feet out and back. As she did four times, she switched to the other feet.

Around noon, her class ended and it was time for her to head for her art class. She waited for all the kids to be gone before she could leave the property. Once everyone was out of sight, she was on her way to art school. When she got there, she received the same reaction from all the kids.

Just then a woman and a camera guy walks in causing Christina to stop what she was doing. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen and wonderful kids, my name is Aom and today I am here to do a report on this art school," she introduce herself. "This is my camera guy, name Captain, we'll be going around documenting everything that's going around here, and we'll be interviewing one of you, if that's ok?" She asked.

"You can interview me, everyone else here is still a minor and I'm the art teacher," Christina replied. "Here is our permission form and legal rights to do so," Aom said handing it to Christina. Christina read through and agree.

After the interview, Aom then ask, "So during the interview, you said you teach too?"
"Yes, I do," Christina answered. "If you would like to document that as well, it's fine with me," Christina answered. "I don't want to offend you by asking you this but you said I can document your dance class, do you want fame?" Aom asked.

Christina took a deep breathe and said, "No, I think it's another way for people to know about my class, and if anyone out there who's interested Feel free to contact me or drop by."

"Oh how wonderful," Aom replied.

Once Aom was done, she and captain left. Aom was really impress with the interview. She even brag to Captain that she has never ever had such a fun and interesting interview before. Captain agreed as well. Being her camera guy for four years, he has never had so much fun recording.

"I think Oil will be impress with this," Aom said. "But Oil didnt even ask for us jot down what she's doing," Captain said.

"I know but you, I have a good feeling about Christina. Something might come up," Aom answered confidently.

[michellewii]

"I know but you, I have a good feeling about Christina. Something might come up," Aom answered confidently.

Oil's Part

As Christina stood infront oh Oil caressing his cheeks gently. Tears formed in her eyes. Oil can see the joy in her eyes. He didn't feel the sadness in her. It felt that her touch was letting him know that she wasn't sad but happy. Oil stood not moving nor not wanting to push her away. He doesn't understand why he's having that feeling. He has never had that feeling before but towards Aum he does.

"Oil, OIL!" Lift yelled in his ears causing Oil to awake from his dreams. "What happened?" He said rubbing his eyes. Lift smiled and handed him a disc with Christina's name on it. "What is this?" he asked confused. "Hmm, let just say some friends are helping you out," Lift said smiling with his arms across his chest. Oil just gave him a confuse look. "Hey don't look at me, it's not me, it's Aom," He said. "Why are you guys doing this?" Oil asked putting the disc on his desk. "Aom says that if you watch this disc, you will want to meet her," Lift answered.

"Look, I really don't anymore, I said I want to apologize but nevermind," Oil said without feeling any sympathy. Even after knowing alittle bit about her life. He already has a feeling about her and he knows that it is not going to be good. He already pity her and doesn't want to know anything more than what already does.

"It's optional," Lift said walking to the fridge to grab a drink. "But then again, aleast watch that disc," Lift said.

Oil stood infron of his desk and stare at the picture of him and Aum on his 21st birthday. It was the most happiest days of his life and even Aum. He loves her so much that he never even want to use the word loved before her name. He can't imagine himself with any other woman. "Aum wait for me," Oil said as a tears formed in his eyes.

Lift overheard him and knew that Oil is sitll hurt after Aum's death, though it has already been over a year. Loosing Aum was like Loosing half of Oil.

"Oil, get ready, boss wants to see us today," Lift said. Oil wiped his tears and left to the bathroom.

At the studio, their boss announced that they were going to have a concert taking place in California. Though, it didn't affect Oil because he has already forgoten about Christina living in California. "Your concert will be a month from today. I know this is a late notice but I have gotten tons of request from other music production from Los Angeles. They are also having a festival going on and hoping that you guys can perform one day there as well. But I haven't given them an answer on that one yet. "

"How many days will we be there?" Lift asked. "One to two weeks," he answered.

"All right," I'll get my things ready," Oil said as he got up to leave the room. "I think I need some fresh air."

"Ok," his boss said wondering.

Oil walked to a nearby bench and sat there thinking about Aum. It was the bench that him and Aum usually sit on his breaks. As he sat there thinking about her. "Oil," she called softly. OIl turned to his side and there sititng Aum. She smiled at him. He quickly hugs her and she hugs him back. "Aum, I miss you so much," he said wanting to cry. "I know sweetie," she said cupping his chin. "I miss you too," she said smiling.

"PLease don't leave me again," he said holding onto her hands. "Oil, I'm never going anywhere honey, I'm always here by your side, through everything," she said turning away and looking at the small pond infront of them. "Oil, even though my body is not with you technically but always remember that my heart is with you forever." "When you're sad, I feel it and it hurts me, I don't want you to be sad with me being gone," she said sadly.

"Why can't I be the one that's gone," Oil asked. "No, dummy," said Aum. "I know life's not fair but doesn't mean you can't live amymore, cherish everyday, better things will come your way," she said to him. He tried to smile. She knew that he was trying and it hurt her. "Oil, smile for me please," she begged. Just as hr tries, she vanish into little pieces. "Aum, Aum!" He called after her.

Chapter Five

Finally the time have come, it was the month of Oil and Lift's concert. In their hotel room, Oil stared out into the beautful scene. The beach were so pretty and there were people everywhere. "Lift, I can't believe were finally here," Oil said happily enjoying the view and the day so far. "Yes, it is such a beautiful day," Lift answered.

"I think I'm going to take a walk," Oil said as he put on his glasses and cap. "Hey, becareful out there," Lift said. "I will," with that Oil left the room and exit the hotel. As he walked around, he enjoy every thing that he saw. The buildings, the sculptures and billboard. He passed all the restaurants, then suddenly something caught his eyes from across the street. It was a dance studio. He can see a group of little girls dancing. He crossed the street to get a better view, as he got closer. He notices someone, the more mature looking lady inside with the girls. Her smile. AS he watched her jump in her pointe shoes, to him it was just beautiful. When she had the girls moved to the side and show the girls the spin(Shinae)

It was like the most beautiful thing he ever seen. When she was done, she bow to the girls. Then the girls crowded in the middle again and tried to do what she did. "Christina," he thought to himself. "You are an amazing dancer," he whishper. As he stood there, Christina notices someone at the window. When Oil realize she noticed him, he quickly ran away from her sight. She ran out the door but he was already gone.

Oil ran behind the building and hid there. With his hand across his heart. He can feel the heart beating very fast. Oil didn't know why he wsa feeling like that. He knows that he didn't run that far or fast either.

Afterwards, he left back to the hotel.

Two days later

The night of their concert, same process everytime. Fans cheering and screaming out their name.

Christina's Part

Ken joined Christina in the patio that evening. AS he sat across from her at the table. He stared at her with amazement as she stared out into space. He couldn't believe how in love he was with her. HOw much he cares for her.

Ken wishes he can just tell her how much he cares for her and hope that things can become more than what they are. "So no Oil tonight," he interrupted her thoughts. She smiled as she looked down. "No, " she answered quietly. "You never told me what happened," he told her. She shrugged her shoulders and smile. "Ken, when are you going to introduce me to your special somebody," Christina asked. He blushed with her comment. Wishing he can just admit it already. Butterflies were filling in his stomach.

"I, um, you know, hmm, I really um," he stuttered.

[michellewii]

"I, um, you know, hmm, I really um," he stuttered.

"I just that one day you will find someone soon, I feel that I'm the one who is keeping you from seeing and meeting other people," she started. "I'm sorry if I am, but that is not my intention, you don't have to hold anything back especially, if you're excuse is to take care of me, please stop it," she said. "I don't want to be the reason for your loneliness, that makes me sound selfish and I'm not," she added.

"Ken, you are a wonderful friend, you're like a brother to me," she begin agian. "You have been there for me through every little thing and I can't thank you enough, every negative situation I was in, you were always there with me," she said. "I wish there was something that I can do in return," she finished as she turned and smile at him.

He didn't say anything else but smile back at her. Truthfully, he was hurt. After all these years, he didn't want to be like a brother to her. He wanted so much more than that. But then again, he wasn't going to give up, he will continue to love her and care for her.

"Christina, I want you to be happy," Ken replied. "You're doing great with that, without you I wouldn't be who I am today," she replied back.

He was satisfied with her answered and throughout the night, they continue talking and enjoying the beautiful night.

Chapter six

A week later

At the hotel room, their boss came in and notify them that they were going to be spending another week in Los Angeles. Oil couldn't believe it, he wanted so bad to be going back home. Lift screamed for joy, realizing that it was another week the week he calls "vacation."

Oil turned away from him.

"Come on Oil, lets go have some fun," Lift said patting his back. "I don't want to and I'm not in the mood to," Oil answered him madly. At the same time, he wanted to go back to the dance studio. The last time he seen Christina.

"Guys, it's a free week for you all, go have some fun, there is also a festival going on down the street and I think every single one of you should go," their boss replied.
"Oh yes, Oil lets go," Lift said happily as he jumps off from his bed. "I get to be a kid again," he said shaking his butt from side to side. "You can be a kid," Oil said annoyingly. "Can you hold me through the park," Lift said handing his hand out to oil. He slaps it away and laughs along.

At the festival, younger childrens, parents and alot older adults were scattered around the park. Oil was surprise to see so many people. BUt then again, both OIl and Lift were being covered. Their caps, sweater and sun glasses to hide themselves. As they walk around, someone caught Oil's eyes from afar near the little pond. It was a girl surround by a whole bunch of little kids. Oil made his way towards. "Hey oi," Lift called and realize that his friend was no longer there. When he caugh sight of him, he chased after him. "Hey fella where are you going?" Lift said as he caught up to Oil.

Oil stop in his tracks and look straight at the girl, when Lift trace his sight, he knew who Oil was starring at.

"Oil, isn't that Christina?" Lift asked confused. "I think so," he answered. As they both walk closer towards the little group. They stop a couple of feets away and watch.

"Simon says touch your nose," she said. All the kids followed. "Simon says touch your knees," she said. All the kids were cooperating with her so well. Oil was so impress with her how she can manage to watch and play with all the kids at the same time. Suddenly, she notices OIl and Lift starring at her, she made her way towards them. "Hello, would you guys like to join?" she asked nicely.

Oil watched her and not saying a word, recognizing that same smile a while back. "hi, you're so pretty," Lift said randomnly. She smile and asked again. "Would you guys like to join us?"

"We'll stay and watch," Oil answered. She nodded and made her way to the kids. "All right kiddos, now it's time for a song, who is ready?" she said happily. All the kids cheered and sat down infront of her.

"How about I sing a song that my mother used to sing to me when I was a little girl," she said and winking at them. The kids clapped their hands.

"All right, here it goes," she said and took a deep breathe.

"My sweet little darling, I promise you that I will be here with you through whatever," she started. "You can always count on me, just call my name and I'll be there before you even know it,"
"I love you, and will always love you," while she sang her voice broke. Oil noticed it and slowly walk closer to the kids. He can the tears forming in her eyes from afar. The way she sway back and forth was a way for her tears not to be noticeable. But he noticed it right away. While listening to her, he can feel all the emotion, it reminded him of Aum. "AUm, I miss you," he whispered.

"Chelsea," a mom called out from the crowd. Looking for her child, suddenly all the parents came looking for their child. "Thank you so much miss Vang, for keeping our kids busy," one of the guardian thank her. "My pleasure," Christina replied.

When all the kids was out of sight, Christina put her hands in her pockets and slowly walk away. For some reasons, she wished she should have never sang that song. It made her miss her parents so much but that was the only way that she could feel her parents present is when she sings that song.

OIl and Lift follows.

"What are we doing?" Lift whispered into Oil's ear causing him to jump. THinking that Lift could have just whispered it instead going to close to ear. "What in the world are you doing?" Oil hissed at him. "I'm a kid remember," Lift hiss back and placed his hands on his hips. "Stop it will you," OIl replied. AS they continued to argue, without noticing Christina was already confronted them.

"Hey, are you guys following me?" she asked confused. Lift and Oil stared at each other speechless, not knowing what to say to cover themselves. Suddenly, Lift pushed Oil to Christina and ran off. As he ran, he yell back. "It was him, not me, don't look at me!"

Leaving both Christina and Oil speechless as they watch Lift runaway until he was out of sight. The they both turned their gaze at each other. Christina carefully study his figure, knowing that she has seen him before. He stood there, hands in his pocket, not saying a word. She squint her eyes at him trying hard to figure out who he is. "I got to go," he said quickly and trying to escape but before he could even take a step. She quickly got a hold of his arm.

At the same time, Oil felt static through his body with the touch of Christina's. He stops in his tracks and looks at her. He didn't know what was going on, didn't know what he was feeling. All he knows was that the touch felt like Aum. But she wasn't Aum. "You look very familiar?" she asked still trying to figure out who he is.

In his thoughts, he was worried. "Oh no, she knows I'm Oil, oh lord to the god, help me," he thought to himself. "No, I don't," he got loose from her grip. "I have never even seen you before," he told her as he fixed his glass. "Oh," she said softly turning the other way. "I'm sorry," she said walking away.

He watched as she walked away from him, he wanted to follow her but he didn't want to be discover as Oil.

He couldn't help himself and went after her. "Hey, you," he called after her. She stop in her tracks and turn around but as she turn around. He was coming right at her, causing him to run into her and stumble on top of her. "Ouch," she whine.

As Oil got up, he notice that she had a scratch on her forehead. Christina got up and felt her forehead. She looks at her hand and saw that there was blood. "Oh my, I didn't mean to bite your forehead," he apologize and raising his hand. She just laughs it. He stared at her confused. "Why are you laughing?" he asked.

"It's ok," she said looking at him. When she looks at him. This time his glass was off. "Oil," she said. Oil froze, and felt his eyes and notice his shades weren't there anymore. "oh no, oh no," he said trying to look for them. When he found them, he quickly put them on and trying to make a run for it. "Hey don't go," she called out. When he heard her, he didn't know why but he stopped. Standing there confuse, he wish his feets can move but they were so heavy and felt as if they were glue to there.

She made her way towards him.

"It's ok," she said looking at him. When she looks at him. This time his glass was off. "Oil," she said. Oil froze, and felt his eyes and notice his shades weren't there anymore. "oh no, oh no," he said trying to look for them. When he found them, he quickly put them on and trying to make a run for it. "Hey don't go," she called out. When he heard her, he didn't know why but he stopped. Standing there confuse, he wish his feets can move but they were so heavy and felt as if they were glue to there.

She made her way towards him and step up to face him. He didn't budge to look down at her. He kept his gaze straightforward. "Oil, am I really that hateful?" she asked sadly still looking at him straight in the eye through his shades. When he heard those words, he felt a knife stagger into his heart. Never, he heard those words in such in a long time. The first and last time was Aum had jokingly asked him when she was still alive. It was like a habit of her saying it to him everyday.

"I never thought I would be seeing you again but I never expect you to run away from me," she said placing her palm on his chest where his heart was. Oi's body whole body shiver with her touch. He didn't understand why he was having these feelings everytime she touches him. "My whole life, I always been loosing people and seeing people run away from me," she said as she walk away.

As he turned around and watch her going further, he hope that he could have said something nice before left. He didn't want such a bad ending like the first time.

Chapter Seven

The next day, he went to her studio again praying that things will be different. He was willing to see her again. Also, hoping that will have a conversation to start with. As he watch Christina waved goodbye to her last student, he call out her name. "Christina!" When she caught a sight of him, she smile and slowly walk back inside to the studio. For some odd reason, his feelings were hurt with her response. He ran across the street and step inside her studio.

"How can I help you today?" she ask him as he entered. "I just want to say I'm sorry about yesterday," he answered. "There's really no need for apologies when it comes to the truth," she said and walk towards the mirror. She began doing some ballet moves as he continue to talk. "So you're a dance teacher?" he ask. Oil really wanted things to go well today for him. He couldn't afford another day of diaster.

she stops and look at him, "Yes, would you like a lesson?" she offered. His eyes were wide open when she asked him. After she saw his expression, she burst out laughing which cause to giggle quietly. "This is going great," he thought to himself. "Really, what brings you here," she said as she sat down and stretch her legs.

"I wanted to see you again," he quickly answered. With that being said, she loosen from her stretch and looks up at him. He sat down across from her. "Really, I want to make things up," he said. Her feelings of happiness quickly vanished with his answer. She was expecting something different. "You don't have to make up anything," she said and continue stretching.

"It's not really making up to you, even though, I do feel bad about what happened in the past" he replied. "Things happen for a reason, I was there at the wrong time," she said back at him. "Maybe we're not meant to be seeing each other," she said.

"I don't think that's right, it doesn't even sound right," he ask her. Didn't like her comment. "Can you show me around, I'm here for another week, my free week to do whatever," he told her. She smirked at him. "You sure you want me to show you around," she asked shyly.

"More than anything," he said without hesitating. She nodded.

"Wait here, let me grab my things and we'll get going," she said as she left to the backroom.

They both traveled around through China town and stopped by tons of Chinese restaurants. Oil was really having a good time, he laugh so much throughout their conversation that they had. Everything she said was so hilarious, that he couldn't believe he felt tears in his eyes. Before the sunset, Christina and Oil both went to the beach and took a walk by the beach.

"So what did you mean by people always run away from you," he asked her. She stop in her tracks and looks at him. When he turn to look at her as well. He can see the hurt in her eyes without even saying a word. She gave a heavy sigh and continue walking. "It is hard to explain and it is a long story," she said. "i have a week," he said laughing hoping that it will lighten her up.

"But I don't," she said quietly.

"What was that," he asked. "Nothing," she said smiling and continue walking. "Can I have a picture with you?" she asked shyly. He giggles and told her yes. She took out her phone and he bent his knees alittle bit to reach her height. Their faces got closer to each other and 1,2,3 the flash went on. "Send that to my phone," he said as he snatched the phone from her. "hey, Hey, what are you doing?" she said trying to get her phone back.

"I want this picture," he said laughing trying to dial and send it to his phone as fast as he could. "But if you do that then," she said and stop. "Done," he said and handed her phone back to her. "What my number," he said. She nodded. "Call me whenever and text me whenever, also I'm here in for a week, I need a way to contact you," he told her.

"You're using me for a week," she thought to herself. "Not that I'm using you, I want to get to know you better," he told her with a smile.

"You don't, trust me," she told him and sat down. He joined her and watch as the sun was setting. "Wow, this is beautiful," he said with amazement. "Yes, it is, you don't see this everyday," she told him. "I remember when I first came here with my parents, they took me here, the three of us watched the sunset, I'll never forget that day," she started. "This is the reason I came to live in L.A." she told him.

'Where are your parents?" he asked. "My parents passed a few years ago," she said and embraced her knees. she took a deep breathe before she continue. "Before I turned 18, my father passed away with cancer and a month after I turned 18 my mother left me for the same reason," she answered.

"Everyday, I feel that the same thing will happen to me," she said and bury her face between her knees. "Don't joke around like that," he told her and giving her a pat on the shoulder. "Why not," she asked lifting up her face to look at him and this time her eyes were filled with tears. "In life, people always tell you to be serious but you know you can't, life isn't what you think it is," she told him.

"What do you mean," he asked. "Nothing," she told him and wipe her tears. "if its nothing, then why are you crying," he asked her grabbing a hold of her risk. She looks at his hand with hers. He slowly let go. "You're the first guy to ever grab me like that," she told him.

"Flashback"
"Oil, noone else had never had the nerve to grab me like that," Aum told him. "really?" oil asked. "Yes, remember noone likes me," she told him.
"End of Flashback"

"I think we should get going," she told him. They both got up and left the beach.

At the hotel

Once Oil opens the door, Lift jump right infron of OIl and surprising him with a big hug. "Oh what in the word are you doing," Oil yelled. "You went on a date," Lift said dancing. "No, I did not," Oil aruge back. "yes you did," Lift said pointing both fingers at him.

"We just went for a tour," Oil explained.

"A long one too," lift explained.

"I will hurt you," Oil said. "No, you have already," Lift argue. "You seem tp always hurt me for a girl just like Aum," Lift replied walking into the kitchen. That caught Oil's attnetion. He never reealized it. "Oh my god, I remember the first time you met Aum, you punch me in the face for the most unreasonable reason," Lift said as he took a sip of his water.

"I told you I was sorry," Oil said.

"You did but dude it still hurts alot, and remember you met Christina, you psuh me for no reason," Lift said pointing at him. "So, Christina doesn't mean a thing," Oil said back at him. "She doesn't mwan anything huh," Lift asked. "Yes," Oil said confidently. "I don't belive you, I have a feeling about this girl that you don't seem to believe right now but something will happen," lift said and left to his room. Leaving Oil in the lving room confuse. "What?"

Chapter Eight

After Christina's art class, Christina received a text from Oil, for her to meet him at the beach again. He wanted to talk to her more just the two of them and enjoying the sunset view. "You seem to really like the sunset," she told him as she joined him infront of the beach. "Like you said, you don't see this everyday," he said.

"That's right," she told him. "I'm leaving in a few days so might as well make my time worthwhile," he said to her. "Yup," she agreed. They both continue to watch the sunset, the time was getting close to 8pm and they both were still conversating and laughing. Oil was having an awesome time and he still couldn't believe it.
