Raven felt cozy and comfortable in her blanket when her alarm clock went off loudly. She groaned and opened her eyes to turn off the alarm. Yawning, she turned on the other side and fell flat on her face.

"What the fuck!" Moaning in pain she sat up and stared at the very last edge of the bed. Her mind was foggy when suddenly she remembered that Agnett was here too. Bobbing her head up from the floor, she searched the bed but Kitten was nowhere to be found. The bathroom door was also ajar.

Scratching her bums she called out for her in a deep morning voice. "Agnett?"

Walking down the stairs she almost tripped over in sleep but then rubbed her face to see carefully where she had to step. "Kitten? Where are you?" Looking around the kitchen she finally got a glimpse of tiny feet peeping out from the edge of the couch.

Her lips twitched into a smile when she saw her little woman sleeping on the couch with the album clutched into her chest. "So you were stalking my embarrassing childhood photos." Raven caressed her cheek with knuckles and sat on the floor. 

A frown appeared on her face when she noticed her eyes swollen and nose red. Even her whole face was bloated so much that anyone could have guessed that she must be crying for a long time.

Raven carefully took the album from her grip and found the very particular page opened with her picture. She didn't think much and closed it.

Taking her hands she felt how cold her temperature was. She was sleeping the whole night out here in the open windows. Raven put her palms on her own cheek and covered them with her's, in an attempt to make them warm.

She could spend her whole life just watching her like this for no reason. There was something really mesmerizing and familiar about her presence that made her feel happy and peaceful in her mind.

When she was kissing her palms, her eyes fluttered open and she jerked up, detaching her hand back to her chest. Raven alerted at her sudden behaviour and stood up taking a step backward to give her space.

"Baby... it's me. What happened?" Agnett stared at her with a foggy mind when everything hit her head like a metro train. Her eyes welled up.

"I- I need to go..." She stood up gulping her tears down the throat and Raven watched her with confusion.

"Sunshine, come here."

Her words didn't help Agnett much and tears started to fall off her cheeks. Her head spinned as the pain in her lower back shot again. She took deep breaths holding her stomach and slumped back on the couch.

Raven rushed to her side and hugged her tightly. "Agnett, why are you crying? Is it hurting too much? Why did you sleep out here?" Raven soothed her but Agnett was having the greatest emotional breakdown of her life.

She clutched her neck so tight and buried her face in her shoulder. Raven didn't like seeing her like this. She knew something wasn't just right when her sobbing became louder.

"Shh... it's ok. I ain't going anywhere, calm down." Raven didn't hear her breath once and when she did it was so deep she literally started to weep like a child. She couldn't understand the reason behind such extreme damage that made her cry early in the morning.

"Did you have any nightmares?"

There was no reply except uncontrollable sobs.
Raven felt worried over her because she never saw her breaking down like this. Agnett was literally fisting her hair and fabric in intense agony which was too much for her poor heart. She bit her shoulder unconsciously but Raven didn't say anything and let her do whatever she wanted to do.

Agnett pulled away and gave a really brief kiss on her lips which Raven returned as such. Instead, the kiss seemed more real and full of belief. It felt more connected and passionate than any other kisses they had shared and Raven felt it too. Raven silently wiped her tears off while kissing and held her closer.

Agnett pulled away looking down and then went upstairs, leaving Raven more bewildered and anxious. Agnett washed her face and quickly changed into her clothes.

"Agnett where are you going?" Raven followed her wherever she walked to grab her things.

"I have an important assignment to submit. I gotta go." She replied sniffing and wiping her tears off. Leaving the questioning Raven, Agnett went down ignoring the pain in every part of her body and literally ran out of the house.

"At 6 in the morning?" Agnett didn't reply.

Raven chased after and caught her arm, yanking her back and securing her by the waist. "Agnett, where are you going? And what's wrong please tell me." She had enough of her silence and slightly raised her voice at her.

Agnett contained her tears and looked into her jet eyes. It was harder than before to keep eye contact with her. "I told you I -"

"Stop lying! I know there's something wrong and you're not telling me about it. Look if I did something just tell me I'll make it up to you, but don't leave like that. It's scaring me." Raven cupped her face and touched their noses together. Agnett's nose scrutinized.

"There's nothing wrong. I just need to get somewhere. It's really important, please." Agnett touched her necklace and turned away.

She ignored Raven's calling and continued to dash towards the street hoping to find a cab but it was too early for that. Fortunately, after 15 minutes, a school bus gave her a ride near her street.

She searched her phone in the bag only to find it left out at Raven's place. When she reached her house, she didn't ring the bell but used the keys to get inside.

Agnett silently ajar the door of her parent's room. Neena was sleeping soundly and Sabestian might be at the hospital. She closed the door and rushed to her father's office.

She rummaged through the keys of the cabinet and opened drawers one by one, filled with files and documents.

She searched every corner and every table in the room finding everything but the file. She racked her hands in hair frustratingly.

"Where's it... where's it..." Mumbling to herself she threw and tossed every paper she found useless and rummaged through other patient's file sections.

"It's not here...I remember dad keeping it here then where is it!" She almost screamed in frustration. She silently went upstairs and scoured through her own drawers in case they left it with her other documents but it was nowhere.

She slumped on the bed giving up and sobbed into her sheets. Her cramps were now unbearable so she quickly freshened up and changed into something comfortable. She took the medicines out of her bag and randomly shoved them inside her mouth, not reading the time first.

She pressed her mind to think better and searched some more only to find a piece of paper which was the photocopy of the hospital bill.

Sighing in relief, she folded it and kept it inside her purse. Quietly, she stepped out of the house and locked the door as such with the keys before stomping to the street.

I wish it's her... God please let this be her!

Agnett prayed in her mind as she ran to confine her own demons.
