The car was quiet. Both of them are sitting in the car, not saying a single word. Axel is quietly driving while Star is staring at the window, thinking about their destination. After a few minutes, the car stopped. Star looked at the surroundings and saw the deep-blue color of the sea. She can see the small waves the sea makes trying to reach her feet. She doesn't know where they are right now but she is thankful to see this amazing view. Star smiled gently at the sight of the amazing view in front of her. Axel noticed how Star's expression softened and it made him smile. All he wants is for Star to smile.

Axel slowly walked towards Star. "Star" he called out. Hearing his manly deep voice Star turned her head to him. He looked serious and earnest. Like he wants to tell something. Star has a slight idea about what he wants to say.

"What?" Star asked him.

"You haven't given me your answer yet" Star was right. Axel does want to ask that. 'But I haven't even thought about it!" star said in her head.

"I'll ask you again. Will you be my girlfriend?" Axel asked with a serious expression in his face. Star swallowed her saliva out of nervousness. She started to think about what she should answer. She remembers everything Axel has done for her when they were kids and when they met.

"I-" She was about to answer when something suddenly rings. It was her phone. She picked it from her pocket and looked at the call before answering. It was her mother calling her. Her mother don't call her unless something is up.

"Mom what's wrong" Star asked.

"Star! Your father!!" her mother shouted through the phone. Star was alarmed.

"What wrong with dad?" she asked, nervous about what her mother will say.

"He collapsed and is sent to the hospital! Come here quickly!" her mother was panicking and so is Star. Axel looked at her and felt that something was wrong.

"What?! Which hospital?! I'm going right now" Star is panicking when she said that. She doesn't know what to do. Axel noticed how she is panicking. He grabbed Star's cheeks gently and look in her teary eyes.

"Calm down Star" Axel said seriously while holding her cheeks and looking into her eyes.

"I-I don't know what to do Axel" Star's voice cracked, and her eyes are covered in tears.

"For now calm down. Which hospital did your mother say?" Axel asked and Star told her. They immediately went to the car and Axel started the engine and the drove to the said hospital. When they arrived Star ran inside and asked the nurse she first saw. The nurse said that her father is in room 346 and she ran immediately, not waiting for Axel. Panting and full of sweat, she arrived at the room where her father is. She opened the door and is very shocked at what she see.

Her father is laughing happily with her mother looking very healthy than what she expected. Her mother noticed her arrival. "Star my daughter. I'm glad you arrived" her mother happily said.

"What does this mean, mom? Isn't dad supposed to be in bed, unconscious?" Star asked. She is very annoyed because her mother just lied to her.

"Well, your father did collapsed" her mother said in as-a-matter-of-fact tone.

"I collapsed after a cat scratched me and I bled. It really hurts you know" her father said and showed a very tiny wound on his hand which angered her even more.

"You didn't come home often and we missed you" her mother said tear while pouting.

"You should've just said to come home. You don't have to worry me like that" Star said and sighed.

She felt Axel's presence beside her. She turned her head and found him looking worried. Star's parents was shocked to see Star with a boy and on top of that a handsome one. Her mother realized who the boy is.

"Why, aren't you Axel?" her mother said. Axel turned his head and he saw Star's parents looking at him, shocked. 'It was her father who was hospitalized?' he asked in his head. He smiled at the sight of their familiar face. Even though Star's mother aged she still looked beautiful and her father has still the same rugged face. When they were kids Star's father treated him like his own son, very different from how his own father treated him.

Axel smiled before walking towards Star's mother. "It's been a while, auntie" Axel greeted and smiled.
