(Jeremy's POV)
December 19, 2025
“Jeremy” someone called me and I turned and saw…
I whispered, “Janet,” and a big smile suddenly appeared on my lips as I ran to hug her, but…
“Janet I can't feel you!” I said getting completely confused, a painful smile appeared on her lips and she said, “you can't, Jeremy.”
“What do you mean I can't?” I asked timidly. I paused for a moment and when I realised what she meant, I got terrified.
“Are you…?? No no…this cannot happen. I am watching a nightmare right? No noooo…” I spoke and started running like a maniac. While running, my foot hit something and I fell on the ground. I got up to see what I hit and I froze when I saw it.
It was her dead body.
“I am sorry Jeremy.” Janet said and her voice started reverberating in my ears. I looked at her and apparently, tears started rolling down my cheeks. I badly wanted someone to wake me up from this horrible nightmare but how? How can one do that when it isn't any nightmare? How can one do that when it is really happening?
“Ja-ne-t” I whispered, tears were running down my eyes incessantly.
“Janet y-you are not de-dead. I am dreaming. It's a nightmare, ri-right?” I asked in between my sobs.
“No Jeremy. It's not any nightmare. I am dead.” She said and tears started flowing from her eyes too.
It's not a nightmare Jeremy. Janet stabbed herself. Didn't you see? She killed herself in front of you. You just stood there and did nothing. You are the reason she is dead. It's your fault. She is dead. Janet is dead. Janet is…Different voices started echoing inside my head. I felt pain in my head and I felt like someone is constantly hammering my head. I held my head and started screaming in pain, “please stop…stooop…Stooooooop” and then everything turned black.

April 19, 2026
I opened my eyes and saw the same old white ceiling in my bedroom. I heard the knock on the door and got up from my bed to open the door.
“May I come in, Mr Branson?” My mother asked jokingly.
I chuckled and said, “yeah”
She sat on the bed and asked, “are you ok?”
“Yeah, mom,” I said.
She saw a photograph kept on my bed. She picked that photo and asked, “you are not ok? Are you?”
I didn't say anything and a drop of tear slipped down my cheek. She gently rubbed my shoulder and said, “Even I miss her. We all miss her. But you should move on now my son. Don't you think she won't be happy if you keep regretting throughout your life?”
“She is right, Jeremy.” I heard a voice, the voice I have been longing for.
“Mom, I want to be alone for a few moments,” I said politely. She nodded and left.
“Janet, why are we like this?” I asked and tried hard to control my tears but my emotions never listen to me.
“This is what our destiny wanted.” She said and her tears too started flowing from her eyes.
“No this is all what you wanted,” I said quite harshly and then definitely regretted and apologised for that. She had already explained to me millions of times why she had to end everything like this.

Three months ago on December 19, 2025…
It's not a nightmare Jeremy. Janet stabbed herself. Didn't you see? She killed herself in front of you. You just stood there and did nothing. You are the reason she is dead. It's your fault. She is dead. Janet is dead. Janet is…
Different voices started echoing inside Jeremy's mind and head felt a sharp pain in his head. He couldn't decipher the situation and everything went black in front of his eyes.
Jeremy: Please stop...stooop... Stooooooop… He screamed and fainted.
(Few hours later)
Mrs Branson: Doctor is he ok?
Doctor: He is physically alright but his mental condition is not good. Did something happen?
Alice: His girlf… I mean his friend died in an accident just a few hours ago.
Doctor: Oh! This is really sad. Now I got why he was mumbling 'don't leave me.' Here are the medicines and I suggest you all to keep an eye on him as such patients usually try to hurt themselves or may even try to kill themselves.

Jeremy: Janet, I am coming to you. I am coming. (He said and was about to cut his wrist with a blade but then he heard a familiar voice.)
“Jeremy stop!”
Jeremy: Janet! No, you are not here. I am hallucinating.
Janet: No you aren't. I am here but if you are going to hurt yourself I will go back right now. (She said sternly.)
Jeremy: No no please don't. Please don't leave me, please.
Janet: I won't but first you throw it away. (She said and he threw the blade and started crying.)
Janet: Hey! Don't cry dear. It's okay. I am here okay? I am here. (She whispered softly.)
Jeremy: Why did you leave me, Janet?
Janet: Because this was the only way to save you and kill Cassandra as well.
Jeremy: How?
