Love Magic: Two Different Hearts novel Chapter 9

Ace's POV

I look at my brother and he was now crying while burying his head on my chest.

(I feel sorry for him but this is the only thing I can do for him. He's been with them like forever. He grew up with them and I know that it's hard to let go of someone)

I look at grandma and she was also crying while rubbing Glen's back and telling him it's going to be okay.

"There... there.... sweetheart. It's going to be fine. Everything will be fine. It's not that we won't see each other again, right" grandma reassures while patting Glen.

"You can come visit us anytime that you want. Me and your grandpa will be waiting and expecting for your visits even if it's unannounced" she finished and slowly Glen stopped crying until he is only sobbing.

Though he still buries his face on my chest and he doesn't like to look at grandma. But he suddenly looks at grandma while his head is bowed down.

I saw grandma smile before talking to him. He touches Glen's face with her both hands and slowly rise it for them to look in the eye.

"It's going to be fine, sweetheart. Come visit us" she said.

(Even though he is not okay.... what can we say... Grandma still needs to go back since she needs to take good care of grandpa)

Mom came out of the kitchen and her face immediately softened when she saw our situation here.

Glen stood there while sobbing and grandma just kissed him on the forehead.

Suddenly grandma said something and Glen suddenly stop crying and sobbing. I immediately looked at grandma and she just smile while wiping her tears away.

(What did grandma do?) suddenly Glen started to fall down so I immediately catch him with my reflexes. I look up at grandma with a questioning look making her smile at me and put her pointing finger near her lips.

"I made him sleep so I suggest you carry him to the couch since I know he will have a tantrum so I suggest we'll make him calm down for a bit" she said while looking at me.

I slowly carry Glen to the couch without waking him up and laid him on it while grandma and mom followed suit too.

We waited for Glen to wake up so we tried to watch a movie while waiting for him to wake up.

______________________________

"Are you sure you just made him sleep grandma?" I asked her and she glared at me.

It's nearly going to be an hour and still Glen shows no sign of waking up. I thought that he would just take a nap not really sleep until morning.

"Of course, sweet heart. He just--" suddenly Glen started to move and we looked at him waiting patiently us he opens his eyes.

"He's waking up" our sister said while she went to sit next to mom.

Dad and little sis came a moment ago after I laid Glen on the sofa. We explained to them what happened since dad gave us all a questioning look and little sis with a confused one.

And so now here we are at last waiting for the princess-- I mean Glen to wake up.

"Hey the princess is already waking up" I joked and everyone look at me in boredom.

"Up... I just want to cheer everyone up" I said feeling dejected.

Glen looked at us and saw all of us staring at him. He looks at grandma and then back to us.

"Oh no way... you didn't kiss me right... yuck that would be terrible. I don't know where that mouth of yours been through" he said making all of us look at him in confusion and amazement.

"I'm always intrigued and can't help to be surprised with your personality sweetheart" grandma said while looking at Glen.

"Sorry if I made a mess" he said while getting up into a sitting position and little sis suddenly went to hug him which surprised him making him stiff for a moment before returning the hug to sis.

"Mom I'm really starting to doubt if she is just a kid or my older sister" he said after they broke of the hug then suddenly all of us laughed making sis pout but I just ruffled her hair making her groan and complain even more.

"Not the hair" she said fixing her hair while swaying my hand away but I still tease her until she ran away and went near mom.

"Guess you’re all better now, are you?" I asked and he smile. It's not the smile that is forced but rather his real smile.

"Yup.... I just need to get that out of my system or else I might explode and blow up if I keep it in" he said making me smile.

(This is what I like and admire with my brother's personality. He easily adapts to new environment and situation making me proud of him)

I still remember when he needed to move to our grandparents’ house. He was crying when we left him at first that I thought that if we'll comeback he'll hate us and never to talk to us ever again.

So, when we visited him, I was so damn nervous and scared of what will he say to us. But I was surprised when we arrived.

He was so happy when we came to see him and he said that He loved the place and that he understands what happened.

I never knew why he needed to move to our grandparents. I tried to ask my parents but they didn't tell me the real reason back then. They just said that it's dangerous and not suitable at our place for him to stay. But now I know the real reason.

I suddenly feel sad when I remember the reason why he needed to move back then.

"Ace are you okay?" Glen said looking at me which snap me back to reality by his question.

I smiled at him to reassure him. "Yup I'm totally fine. I just can't believe that you're finally here" I honestly said and he smiled widely.

"Oh.... GROUP HUG" he shouted and we all made a big group hug while laughing.

We broke the hug and we all told grandma our goodbyes and she went to get her luggage which dad carried.

Glen went to grandma and hug her tightly like never before for the last time. (Though not the last since he will see them again. But you know what I mean...)

"Slowly kid you might break me" grandma joked and they both laughed.

"Come and visit me here" Glen told her when she went outside.

"Promise to come and visit us too" Grandma said and Glen nods his head in approval.

We all kissed grandma on her cheek and hug her which she returned also before she went in the car.

We watched the car drove away and then I approached Glen and slung my hand on his shoulder.

"Alright... let's get inside and sleep now... we still have classes tomorrow" I told him. And he nods then smiles like what he usually does.

(See what I mean he already coped up and adapted with the situation like it was nothing)

Glen's POV

We went to school early since I stopped Ace again from throwing all of his clothes in the air. Now he is sulking while driving since he didn't like what I picked for him.

(If this was just an ordinary day, I might have laughed at him but it's not because of what happened last night. Thought that’s not a reason not to still try and tease him and what happened last night is already done. So, let's have some fun) I sang inside of my head.

"Oh Ace...... your clothes look good on you" I tried to cheer him up but he just shrug.

"I might start to dislike your ability to cope up immediately after what happened last night" he said while we are driving towards Kaylee's house.

(Yup just like I said I already cope up with what happened last night like it was just a normal day. What's the point of sulking when you know that you'll see the again... right?)

"Oh Ace... thank you for helping me last night by the way" I said trying to make him stop sulking but it didn't work.

_______________________________

So, at the end he made me sit at the back even though I tried bargaining to him but he won't budge so I accepted the deal. To sit at the back.

(Huh... he can be so childish sometimes) I sigh before looking at him.

"What did you do?" I hear Kaylee mumble at my side when she entered the car.

We had just picked up Kaylee. And still Ace won't talk to me. I guess I really messed his clothes we'll I'll talk to him later.

"He's having a bad clothes day" I replied and Kaylee just say Oh.

"Oh, come on Ace. That clothes are good on you. That's mostly composed of your best clothes that you wear" I tried to talk to him again but he's still stubborn.

He just kept quiet so I just sigh. (I know he will give in too. Let's just wait...)
