Chapter 04 "This is Not a Dream"

I just stood there without moving until I heard the last honk, then I moved. I drove somewhere I could be alone. The pain that was left in my chest never went away. It felt like a tornado came and took everything away, leaving nothing behind but just meaningless thoughts and hopes. My heart was beating loud and uncontrollable.

It's my fault that this happened. Even though the reason why he died was because of Hanna, I could've still stopped her from doing what she was doing. But me and my selfish mind didn't do anything but watch. Watching Adam fall to his death. Maybe part of me wanted him to die. I wanted him to suffer for what he did to me.

Suddenly, my phone started ringing. I didn't bother picking it up because I didn't want to talk to anyone. I started listening to the radio. The song that was playing, every word described my situation perfectly. Losing someone you really cared about. How could I still care about him even though he hurt me? I wish I could just turn it off, my love for him. I wanted to turn off that option. I wish it was easy.

While sitting in the car, it started to rain. At first it was drizzling, then started raining heavier and heavier as time went on. I intended to start my engine so I can head home, but the car wouldn't start. No matter how many times I tried to start the engine it wouldn't start. I pulled out my phone so I could call Hanna, Skylyn, or my parents, but sadly I had no bars. Now what do I do? Where I live is pretty far from here. I opened the car door and started walking to get home.

Rain often felt like rain. But today, every raindrop felt like glass shattering on my skin. The rain just cascaded down like a waterfall. It looked like the tears of a mother who cried for her child's death. So many and never falter nor weaken. The more I was walking, the more I wanted to go home. My house seemed farther as I continued to walk. The distance intensified the weather. It probably was not as cold as I was imagining it was like.

As I kept moving on, my mood changed from guilty to an immense amount of intensity. I felt like I was being stared down from my head to freezing toes. I turned around and glanced to see if anyone was following me, but no one was there. I continued to move even faster, like that feeling you get when a white van pulls up next to you. Before I set another foot to the ground, someone tapped my shoulder, and I jumped in shock.

I turned to see that it was Jacqueline.

"Oh my God, bitch. You scared me," I yelled.

"Haha, sorry. Didn't mean to make you jump out of your shoes," Jacqueline said jokingly.

I questioned why she was around outside at this time. It was soaking wet outside, and she had the audacity to come around and scare me. She told me that she lived on this street and wanted to go to the corner to pick up her Chinese food. Jacqueline offered if I wanted to stay and eat. At first, I hesitated but then I realized my stomach felt an earthquake. I nodded my head and was ready to eat whatever she was offering.

We passed to a three story normal looking complex made out of bricks. Next to it, there was a house of a light blue color. Jacqueline was knocking on the white door hoping someone would answer. When someone finally opened, Jacqueline headed inside and I followed. The door slammed behind us as we were settling inside. "Kathleen, meet my brother Christian." Jacqueline said suddenly.

I turned around and saw him leaning against the living room wall. When I tried to make eye contact, I realized who he was. He was the new kid Hanna was talking about before. So, he was Jacqueline's brother.
