I decided against JaylaHeart (my beta reader) editing the redo of this story... Well, more like edit. So yes, all the chapters are updated. Yay.

Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Prologue

Nina's POV

And after all these things I've done, I think I love you better now…

I woke up to Ed Sheeran's angelic voice, softly singing 'Lego House' through a set of speakers. Who was messing with my music so early? I cracked my eyes open slightly, and glanced over to where the song was coming from. Amber sat near my desk, looking through my playlists.

"Amber? What're you doing?" I asked quietly, sitting up slowly. I began to rub my eyes. She slowly turned the music off, before racing over to my bed, a big smile spreading across her face.

"Fabian planned a picnic for you two this morning! He said for me to wake you up around ten, and have you meet him downstairs at eleven!" Amber chirped happily, clapping her hands together. "I knew Fabina was going to happen! I just knew it!"

Amber continued to ramble about 'Fabina', and I playfully rolled my eyes at her. Fabian and I weren't really a couple, but Amber would do anything to make it happen.

I peeked at my alarm clock; it was only eight.

"Amber, you do know it's only eight, right?" I questioned her curiously, crossing my arms in the process. I was definitely not an early bird.

"Well," Amber started off, before beginning her explanation. "I have to find you an outfit, and of course fix your hair and make-up! I can't have you go on a date, and look as if you just got out of bed! You really should be expecting this by now."

I sighed; this wasn't the first time Amber woke me up early for what she called 'a date'. Last week, she had me wake up at the same time, just when Fabian wanted me to go to the library. She still had to make sure that I was perfect, despite us only going to get some books for our project.

Amber grasped my wrist loosely, and dragged me over to her closet, swinging its doors open. She began to look through it, saying no to almost everything in it. She finally agreed on something when her eyes noticed a light blue sundress, which seemed to sparkle as she pulled it out. She held it up to me, probably imaging what I'd look like in it. She then smiled, nodding.

"This is perfect. Go change into this, and then I will do your hair! Go!"

Amber practically shoved me into the bathroom, giving me no other choice but to wear the dress. I wasn't a huge fan of dresses; I hadn't worn one throughout my time at Anubis, except at the dances. Other than that, it was either school uniform, or something casual.

Once I changed into the dress, I stepped back into our room, and was immediately shoved into a chair in front of Amber's mirror. I glared slightly at her, but she only beamed at me, before grabbing a curler, as well as a bunch of hair sprays.

"This shouldn't take too long." Amber replied, before working her 'magic'.

At eleven o'clock, Amber had just finished my hair and make-up. She had braided my bangs, and pinned them in the back, letting my curls pour loosely over my shoulder. As for make-up, I insisted she only used a little bit, and the colors had to be natural. She pouted at my decision, but was able to work with it. She seemed to be happy with the outcome.

I sat up from the chair, and Amber smiled as I walked out of the room, heading downstairs. I felt like a complete idiot; this wasn't a date. We were just friends, nothing more than that. So why did I need to dress-up for that? It seemed pointless.

Amber had been correct; as soon as I came downstairs, Fabian was leaning against the door, holding one single rose. I smiled; longing to be able to run into his arms.

I quietly walked in front of him, and he glanced at me, beaming brightly. He handed the rose to me, and I could feel my cheeks burn, probably becoming their usual crimson.

Fabian gently took my hand (Was this a date?), and led me outside. The first thing that came into view was a red blanket, along with a basket sitting gently on top of it. When we walked over, he let go of my hand, sitting across from me. I sat down as well, admiring everything he was doing. I set the rose aside; I would be sure to take it with me when we went back inside.

"You look beautiful today," Fabian quietly stated, before opening the basket. I smiled to myself, my cheeks continuing to blush. "Though there isn't a day that has passed that you weren't." He said the last part nearly inaudibly, but I still managed to hear it. Did he really think that way of me?

"Thanks. But you know Amber, she wouldn't let me leave until I was picture-perfect." I responded happily, giggling softly. Fabian smiled shyly at me, laughing quietly himself, before taking two sandwiches out of his picnic basket.

He handed me one, and I thanked him again, before taking a bite. It was my favorite, how had he known? I hadn't had one since I was in America; he must have asked Amber. She knew basically everything about me; she was my Best British Friend after all.

We both finished our sandwiches in silence. It wasn't the awkward type of silence, but more of the comfortable type, both of us just glad to be each other's company. It didn't bother either of us; it felt nice to have him around.

As he was pouring us drinks (He had brought us fruit punch), his phone suddenly rang. He tried to ignore it, but I just giggled at him.

"You can answer it, Fabian." I replied, continuing to giggle. He stuck his tongue out at me, before answering his phone.

Fabian was about to greet the person on the other line, but his face quickly changed from happiness, to being completely distraught.

"Mum, please calm down. I can't hear what you're telling me." Fabian whispered, giving me an apologetic look before turning away from me. I never heard anything about Fabian's family; they were all a total mystery to me. But ironically, he knew everything about mine.

With the panic he seemed to show, I could only think of the worst. My mind did that for nearly every situation; maybe it was because the worst tended to always be true. It had all started when my parents passed away, and everything just seemed to go downhill from there.

"Is she okay? I will get there as soon as I can, I promise… Okay Mum, love you too. Bye." Fabian mumbled, before turning back to face me, placing his phone back into his pocket. He moved his gaze over to me, his hands fidgeting in his lap.

"My sister, Skylar, she just got into a car accident with our aunt, I have to go meet them at the hospital. I'm really sorry, Nina. I didn't mean to ruin this…"

How could Fabian say he ruined our picnic? It wasn't his fault his sister got into an accident. But I still felt bad; how hurt was she? I wish I would have known about her though; did he have other siblings I didn't know about?

"Fabian, don't apologize, I understand. But when will you be back?" I questioned, beginning to place things back into the basket. He started to help me, but I stopped him, earning a sigh from him.

"I'm not sure. But my mum said she should be fine, and that she is stable. I should be back soon, promise."

I nodded, and continued to put everything back in the basket. As I did so, Fabian called a cab, not even bothering to tell Trudy or Victor he was leaving. I'm sure they would get a call from his mother, or someone else in his family. And if not, I would just tell them myself.

By the time the cab drove to the entrance of Anubis, Fabian had already packed a small bag of things from his room. I bit my lip as he stepped into the cab, but instead, he put his bag inside, and came back over to me.

"I'll call you when I get there, yeah? Be safe, I know you tend to get into trouble." Fabian responded, before kissing me quick on the cheek. It felt like he was saying a permanent good-bye; but why? He was going to be back soon; his sister was going to be okay.

I gave him a hug, before he dashed back into the cab. I watched his taxi until it was out of sight, and then made my way back inside, bringing both the basket and blanket with me.

As soon as I walked inside, I was greeted by Amber, who was smiling brightly. She had nearly skipped over to me; why was she so excited? She peeked behind me, and must have realized that Fabian wasn't there. She must have also noticed the bothered look on my face.

"Neens, where's Fabian? And why do you look like you just saw 'The Notebook'?" Amber asked quietly, tilting her head slightly. I bit my lip; should I tell Amber? I wasn't sure if Fabian would want me to, but I assumed they would find out anyways.

"Fabian's sister, Skylar, got into a car accident. He had to leave. His mother said she was in stable condition, but Fabian doesn't know when he'll be back." I responded, bringing my gaze to the floor.

"Skylar, you mean his younger sister? She's only nine, Nina! Oh goodness, I'm going to have to call Imogen…" Amber gasped, dashing over to the house phone, and sitting down. I followed her, as she quickly dialed the number.

"Um… Who's Imogen?" I questioned back at her confusedly. Did he have more siblings, or was that his mother? Or was it maybe a cousin, or an aunt?

"Imogen is Fabian's other younger sister, she's twelve. You should know this, you guys are practically together." Amber huffed, before bringing the phone to her ear. I wish he would have told me these things, though they never really came up in conversation.

I watched as Amber talked to Imogen, but despite me having no idea of what Imogen was telling her, it didn't seem good. By the time Amber slammed the phone down, sobs were softly escaping her lips. She ran away before I could question her, and I decided it was best not to follow.

Edited, so no author notes. Ehe. Too lazy to put them back. So pft.
