_________________/\__________________

It's been a few days since we got engaged. We already told Lily, but Darius still doesn't know.

I ate breakfast and went to the bedroom to check if Raine are still asleep.

- 'Raine, are you awake?'
I asked.

No one responded. I guess they're still asleep. They don't usually sleep longer than me. I'm the sleepy one here. I walked into the room and realised that Raine weren't here anymore. I began looking for them. I was worried. I thought they were going to do something to themselves because of their mom. I headed to the bathroom.

- 'Raine, are you here? If you won't answer, I'm coming in!'
I banged the door. No response.

I opened the door and saw Raine laying on the floor, with some pills in their hand. Are they... dead? I ran to them and checked the pulse. They are alive. Thank god. I shaked them.

- 'Raine, wake up!'
I said loudly.

Their eyes started opening, and I heard a yawn.

- 'E-eda? What are you- you weren't supposed to see this!'
Raine mumbled and hid the pills behind their back.

- 'Raine, please. Get ready and go to the living room. I have a few questions.'
I said, and Raine looked at me stressed. Sometimes, I just need to be serious. Raine ran out of the bathroom and locked themselves in the bedroom. I made my way to the living room and sat on the couch. Poor Raine. They have to go through so much just because of their mom. I waited for a couple of minutes, and Raine came in the bedroom and sat next to me.

- 'how do we start... what are those pills?''
I asked.

- 'Those are h-happy pills. I've been taking them every day since you tried to... commit suicide. I've felt like it was my fault. And I still feel like that.'
Raine said. I could see how much they were trying to stay calm.

Raine have been doing drugs because of me. Because of my stupid idea to make them worry. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, and I started to sob.

- 'Raine, but you know it wasn't your fault! Plus, it's been 2 years! It's very unhealthy to take it EVERYDAY for 2 years. I bet that if you're going to keep doing it, you'll feel sick soon.'
I hugged them right after I said it. They don't deserve it. ("I don't deserve them"). That sounds a bit too familiar.

- 'Raine promise me that you'll stop doing this. I know it's a hard time for you since your mom found out about your situation right now, but you have to stay strong. You have to stay strong for me.'

Raines pov.

...You have to stay strong for me.'
Eda said.

I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. I broke down crying in Edas arms. My Calamity. I love her.

- 'And I also want to add something. If you weren't here for me, I would be dead. Let's be honest. You saved my life.'
Edalyn said.

Edas pov.

Goddamn. It just hits me how I used to overwhelm Raine. But this was just in the past. We're good now. Are we?

- 'Alright Rainestorm tommorow we have to go to work. How do you want to spend our last day of holidays?'
I asked.

- 'maybe we should go... I know! To the amusement park.'
They said with excitement.

- 'we're still young we should do anything we want to. We're only 22.'
Raine begged.

- 'Yes! And also don't beg because I never said no. But first give me those pills.'
I said and Raine gave me the pills they held in their hand.

- 'let's go!!'
Even if they are an adult now, they still have their own inner child. I find it adorable.

Some time went by, and we arrived at the amusement park. It was huge. It had multiple colorful lights and lots of attractions.

- 'I'll pay for tickets.'
I said and headed to the register.

After that, me and Raine went to a first attraction.

- 'LET'S GO ON THIS RIDE!'
they shouted and squeezed my hand.

- 'sure, let's go'
I giggled. They're adorable.

Time skip <3

- 'Raine, you already threw up 2 times, you sure you want to eat something now?'

- 'yep. I'm hungry.'

- 'okay then. But don't eat meat, it might not work out well for you.'

- 'let's just go to McDonald's.'

- 'okay let's go. I'm driving.'

In the car Raine almost threw up. Next time, we won't eat pancakes before going to amusement park.

- 'we're here.'

Raines pov.

...we're here.'
Eda said.

- 'Thank god. I'm starving.'

She giggled.

After we ordered the food we sat in silence.

- 'how do you feel?'
Edalyn asked.

- 'I feel like I'm not going to throw up anymore.'
I laughed.

Edas pov.

They laughed. I laughed back and I saw our number appearing on the screen.

- 'I'll get the food.'

After some time we headed back home. We had fun today and I'm glad I cheered up Raine. I threw away their pills in some random trash can. I'll search through the house later. I hope they're not hiding anything from me anymore.
