"Yes, and she is going to spend the weekend with us so go please help me clean the guest room so it's presentable when she arrives."

Mel nods before getting up from his seat to heading towards the hall.

"She'll be here in about an hour so don't take too long!"

Mel- "Fine."

He says and eyes the room down the hall before going to turn the doorknob to open the door.

The room is not dirty or dusty.

It just needed some bed sheets and a blanket just so the room can look more lively.

Star's coming over....

I haven't seen her for almost a year..

Mel thinks as he places the bed sheets on the bed and pillows.

He then starts to remember the fun times that they would always spend time together.

All the times they would go to the fair.

Amusement Parks.

School events.

Even though they're not related by blood, they bonded like they are all one big happy family.

But that was before their father became the new owner of the company he works for.

Now he spends most of his time away to a point that he doesn't even remember how the children in his life look like.

And honestly..

Its kind of sad.

Sure he does call to make sure they're okay and that he misses them but its just not the same.

In a way he just hopes that one day they could all just do all the fun things that they used to do.

But who knows.

Maybe Star is coming over because they're going to do something together for the first time in a while?

But he's not getting his hopes up on that either.

Their father almost never has time for that anymore since he also tends to work from home as well.

And his father also mentioned to him that when he grows up, he will teach him his ways so he can take over the business once he retires.

Mel isn't sure if he's being serious or not but he's not sure if he even has what it takes to fill in his shoes.

But what does he know?

He's still a kid.

So he can just do what kids do and just enjoy it while he still can.

But it would've been easier if nothing has changed.

But he always has to tell himself whenever he starts thinking about the past.

As long as my mom is happy then I should be too. Right??

"MEL!"

He flinches out of his trance when he hears his mother calling to him.

"She's here! Go and help her with her things!"
