Somewhere Else [Damien Haas]
16 parts Complete Wherever you go, there will always be someone stuck in the back of your mind, and a part of you would constantly wish that you were with them wherever you were. First love, as they call it, could be anyone: a childhood sweetheart, the child of your mom's friend that you meet in a reunion party, a neighborhood heartthrob. For Damien Christian Haas, it was his high school girlfriend, Jade Natalie Greene. Parting wasn't easy for them, but it was inevitable, as most high school relationships were.
When Damien leaves Los Angeles for a good week to take a desperately needed Ian-prescribed vacation in Japan, he doesn't know what kind of ride he gets into, because when he ends up getting in a car accident, the first person to get him safely rescued was no other than on-duty journalist Jade. Upon recovering, he learns that the two of them, due to medical issues for him and visa issues for her, were stuck in the country, and they get together to face whatever the embassy has to offer.
In a series of recollecting, reminiscing, and remembering, they roam the country in hopes of finally going home, but neither of them tell each other how much they've wanted to stay despite their legal troubles; just so they could stay with each other again, because maybe it isn't so bad to be somewhere else.
