-CEMETERY-

Raven's POV

I'm fucking mad. She didn't came to work today and when I tried calling her, she won't pick up.

Driving my way towards her bestfriend's place, I sped up even more while cursing under my breath at the same time because of the fucking slow cars ahead of me. I need to know where she is. She can't leave me. I can't let her go. I won't fucking let her go.

I already went on her apartment but I didn't find her there. So the only place that I can possibly ask where she went is there. Her bestfriend's place.

After taking turns here and there, I finally got to my destination. Damn, finally.

I ring the bell while waiting for someone to open the door while tapping my foot on the floor mat impatiently.

I did told her that she can't escape me, right?

"What is–" Her eyes grew wide as she took off the toothbrush on her lips then blinked her eyes multiple times as if proving to herself that I'm real. "–it?" She whisper added.

"Do you know where's Karina?" I asked as her widened eyes suddenly squinted and glared at me.

"What do you need from my bestfriend, Mister Raven Montgomery?" She questioned, bringing her hands on her hips as she stood fully in front of me without even wiping those glaring eyes off her face.

"It's none of your business– Aria was it?" I asked as she glared even more and before she could speak, I continued. "I'm asking where she is because she didn't go to work today and when I tried to reach for her, she's not even picking up."

"And you're wondering why she won't pick up? After what you did to her!?" She semi shouted making my blood slowly boil. I gotta work with this temper of mine real soon.

"After what I did to her? Hah, so she told you? Let me ask, did she told you what are the things that she did to me as well?" I can't believe this shit.

"Yes, because why not? I'm her BESTFRIEND after all." She said, emphasizing the 'bestfriend' word. Damn, she's trying to get herself killed? "And the things that she did to you?" She added, then a smirk slowly formed from the corner of her lips. "Let me tell you something," She paused, taking a few steps towards me then she looked me straight in the eyes as she spoke in her gritted teeth, "I know all of it.. and all of the reasons why she did that."

"What do you know?" I asked in a dangerous low tone as she steps back a bit and tried her best not to look frightened but I already know that she's scared.

"I can't tell you." She mumbled as she looked away from me, "She won't like it."

"Why?" I simply muttered as she glared at me with those eyes of hers.

"Find it out yourself." She voiced out firmly then turned around to leave me but I caught her arm and stopped her. I need know.

"Listen here Aria, I need to know where is she–"

"Why?" She asked before I can finish my sentence.

"Because I need to. I fucking want to. So tell me." She's getting on my nerves I swear.

When she didn't said anything, I released her arm as I sighed. "You're the one who told me to find it out myself so that's what I'm doing. Now, tell me where's Karina."

"She's.." Aria paused as she look like she's reluctant about telling me where Karina is. Then she sighed deeply, "You can find her on ********* cemetery." What?

"Are you joking with me?" I asked in disbelief while looking at her but she's looking at me with those sincere eyes. She seems serious but why on cemetery?

"Just go there." She glared again. "You know I shouldn't have told you, she'll gonna kill me." She whispered but I heard it before turning away from me but I grabbed her hand once again before she can leave.

"There's nothing bad happened to her, right?" Say no.

"Nothing bad happened to her. Just go there because I'm sure she's in there right now.. after all, it's this day." She whispered again as I released her hand.

"Thanks.." I muttered as she look taken aback but then she recovered in seconds as she smiled at me before closing the door.

It's this day?

Now, it's time to go there and find out why she's there.

Parking my car a bit far from the cemetery's entrance, I turned off the engine before opening the door to get out. I'm feeling uneasy while making my way towards the cemetery as lots of things bothered my mind.

Why is she here? I don't know.

After walking around to look for her, I finally spotted her under a big tree. She's wearing a blue dress that's flowing elegantly with her long hair as the wind blows on it.

Making my way towards her, I noticed that she's wiping something on her face while she's looking down at the ground.

"Karina.." I whispered, calling out for her as she turned around with widened eyes.

"W-what are you doing here?" She choked in her raspy voice and I can clearly see her puffy red eyes. She's crying.

"I–" I paused then stepped towards her and to peek at the ground when she suddenly moved and blocked me, forbidding me to look on it. What's in there?

"I-If you're here to s-scold me because I didn't go to w-work then I'm s-sorry." She bowed her head as tears streamed down her face, her hands on the hem of her dress, clutching on it.

"Yeah.." Inhaling deeply, I looked at her. "Why didn't you go to work today? We're short on staffs right now. They need you." I need you.

"I-I'm sorry..–wait, how did you know I'm here?" She asked, her watery eyes staring at me suspiciously.

"Your best..friend told me." Her eyes widened as she murmured something underneath her breath.

"Again..I'm sorry. L-let's go. You can scold me later." Karina sniffled, wiping her tears as she waited for me to move but I ain't doing that. I need to know why she's here.

"No." I muttered as her eyebrows knitted together. "No? What do you mean no?" She meekly asked.

"I mean no, we can't leave here until you tell me what are you doing here.. inside the cemetery." Her face gone pale as she looked away from me. What's wrong? What the fuck is she doing in here?

Instead of answering, she kept her gaze away from me. "Don't tell me your puppy lies here?" I mocked even though she's not looking at me, I know that she's glaring.

"Do you really want to know who's here?" She whispered, her hair covering her face as she looked down. Her voice suddenly changed into something cold and empty. Did I pushed her button too much?

"Yes." I firmly mumbled, looking at her intently.

"Fine then." And after that, she stepped aside, allowing me to take a view at the thing on the ground.

"W-what?.." I.. I can't believe this.
