Lea met Loche when she was 10 years old with her mother Maxine Wells who knew Ernest.

Loche was then 15 years old.

Even though those two bickered pretty much ever since the moment they met,

they also reconciled quickly.

When Lea's mother Maxine died of cancer only a few years later,

Loche was the biggest support for her and she couldn't have made it through without him.

Just like him, Lea was an only child

and now both of her parents were gone.

Her father died before she was even born, so she didn't know him, but she was close with her mother and her death was hard for her, but time didn't stop..

Lea grew up admiring Loche..

& she started to see him in a completely new light when she hit her puberty.

She lived with her uncle Carlos, who, after her moms death treated her badly.

So mostly Lea didn't want to go home or spend time there. The things that Carlos said and did were cruel, it seemed that he hated her, but that actually had nothing to do with her. Carlos had his own demons and he couldn't stand the fact how much Lea reminded him of Maxine, a woman he had loved all of his life, unrequitedly. Maxine was his adopted sister and she had known his desire for her ever since she was a teenager, but she only saw him as her brother and once she told him that and left with Leon Nakeda, Lea's father, he had held a deep grudge in his heart.

While Lea had to endure the troubles at home, she had also had noticed that the way Loche treated Dana was different how he treated Lea, it had always been like that, Loche saw her only as a friend, more like a sister, that's why Lea had never told him her feelings.

And because they were both important to her, she could never come between them, she could only watch them and feel sad.

Hwan was at his room replaying his fathers words in his head..

He also could clearly remember him shouting at her mother the same way when he was a lot younger..

He always treated her badly, it still made Hwan sad and angry at the same time as he looked a Picture of them from the past.

Back then, his mother wasn't probably happy but she was always trying to smile in front of him.

🎵🎶"He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar..

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star..🎵🎶

🎵🎶He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.."🎵🎶

Lea sang at the local pub, thinking about Loche..

And Jacob, one of Loche's bandmates happened to be there also, watching her sing..

He approached her outside a bit later where she was having a smoke.

J:"Not bad of a singer, you could make a career out of it.."

"I'll pass, thanks." Lea noted as her future plans lied elsewhere..

J:"Just kidding, you here alone?"

"Does it look like that to you?" Lea asked. She didn't really know Jacob, she had only seen him a few times before but...

she could always tell when a guy wanted something out of her.

J:"mmm, pretty much. But seems so that I am too..How about we leave together?"

L:"Are you sure you didn't follow me here?"

J:"What?"

L:"You see Jacob, whatever you think I am, I'm not. I saw you before staring at me, but I'm not interested in you.."

J:"Oh really?"

"You surely are playing hard to get, so does that mean that you're really not?" Jacob said while cornering Lea suddenly and she gasped a bit as that situation reminded her of her quite violent uncle.

J:"Let me tell you something, we could have fun together right, don't have to tell anyone if you don't like.."

L: "Stop.."

J:"What's wrong with you?"

L:"Just stop, I'm not going with you.."

J:"Oh don't be like that, you'll definitely like it.."

"Didn't you hear her already?"

Lea gasped as she turned around and saw..

him.

Also Jacob took a note.

"And who the h*ll are you?" he asked while this mysterious man just stared at him silently for a while.

"Whatever, this has nothing to do with you, ok?" Jacob continued.

"Go, I'll continue with this missus here.." Jacob smirked

Lea was already so done with this guy,

but then.....

suddenly this other guy grabbed Jacob by the neck and pressed him against the wall with just one hand, and well that surely was something to see..

"W-W-wh-at the h-ell..a-re you doing?" Jacob gasped while Lea witnessed the situation a little bit startled.....

A FEW YEARS AGO:

Lea was at the dock at Valonstadt, a small town, which was the closest one to Chestnut Ridge.

She had just witnessed Loche and Dana together, and she was sulking alone,

looking at the lighthouse across the sea, Valonstadt lighthouse, she had never been there, it was on a small Island..

"Mind if I sit here?"

someone asked while Lea was sulking there and she soon saw a dark haired, older guy sitting beside her on the bench lighting a smoke..

"Do what you want. It's not like I own this bench." she sighed.

And they just sat there for a while silently.

"It's so annoying.." Lea thought out loud.

"What is?" He asked.

"Uhh, life..Just everything. I hate it that it doesn't go how I want..I wish I was someone else, I don't know.." she admitted half hesitantly.

"The grass is always greener on the other side we assume, &life rarely goes as we plan."

"Mmm, I guess it doesn't." Lea sighed.

L:"The lighthouse.. It looks so beautiful from here, I've never been there."

While it was foggy, late evening, they could still see the light turning.

"mmm..It's not that special.."

L:"You've been there?"

"Yes...I need to leave now."

"Wait!"

Lea's mouth ran faster than her mind, but he did stop. That stranger.

L:"Who are you? You appeared out of nowhere and you're going just like that?.."

"Maybe some other time, good night."

L:"Wait what? Some other time? Pffft, as if...."
