EPILOGUE

Violet's POV

A shrill line enveloped my ears, I quickly opened my eyes as I glimpsed the fading light in front of me. Little by little, my vision cleared up while out of the corner of my eye, the doctor looked at me with a worried look.

"Oh goodness, you're already drenched in sweat. Are you okay, ms. Diaz?" she asked as I sat on the bed while catching my breath, looking around inside the room with a couch on the side with a plant next to it, while the window was on my left. Oh yeah. I almost forgot that it wasn't my reality.

I nodded, turning her. "Y-yeah. I'm fine," I said, almost a mutter.

"What did you see? Did you find the answers?" she added as I just stared at her.

It was already late in the afternoon, I left the clinic with my tote bag containing my laptop, notebook and pouch case and boarded the bus to go home. I got off at the bus stop near our street that almost all the houses have vinyl fences, deserted, no litter and pets roaming around.

After passing about five houses, I went inside our fence and when I opened our door, I found mom cooking in the kitchen while dad was sitting on the couch watching cockfight in the living room. The living room, dinning area, kitchen and our parents' room are connected while there's a staircase facing the living room to the second floor and there are the three bedrooms of me and my siblings. I took off my shoes before stepping inside, removing my coat off as I closed the door.

"My Vy pumpkin, how's your group preparation for your report?" asked mom while washing her hands as I placed my tote bag on the dining table.

"Tiring.. I guess?" I answered hesitantly as I took out my phone as the moment I push the button unmute, a bunch of messages appeared in the group chat of our trio.

"Vy, may I see?"

"W-what?" I covered the screen to my chest as I found her in front of me.

"I want to see what you guys have done. Script or PowerPoint, where is it?"

"O-oh yeah. We have a PowerPoint done but I don't have it. Our script will be done by one of our members," I lied as she said 'ahh' nodding at me.

"I see. Go rest for a while, sweetie. I'll just call you when dinner is served,"

"Thanks, mom."

As I got in to my room, I locked the door while I sat on the chair, facing my study table and leaned my phone on the small shelf that was on it. I released a sigh before pressing the record button as I looked into my eyes on the camera.

"Twenty first of November. I consulted a psychiatrist without my parents knowing it.. And I don't have time to write it on papers because someone might read it," I started as I paused for a while. "It's all about me always being haunted by strange dreams. Friendships, trepidations and mysteries. It turned out to be my past life and it's like puzzle pieces that I put together a while ago," I added. "I became a girl who was hopeless in life, went through a lot, and It kinda felt real, making me forget what my true reality is. It's like I went back in time," and it's far from my life now.
