The Night Of Street 49th

The Night Of Street 49th - Chapter 3

Amelia is shocked to hear that Olivia, her sister, was found near two dead bodies on Street 49th. In the hospital, Olivia is still unconscious, caught between being a witness and a suspect. To make sense of it all, Amelia starts at Whisper Café, where Olivia works. The once lively café now holds mysterious notes. As Amelia digs into Luna Haven's secrets, she faces a tough choice—trust the sister she knows or confront the darker side of their town.

After leaving the hospital, Amelia felt really confused. The news about Olivia and Street 49th made everything fuzzy. When she got home, the confusion stayed with her, making it hard to relax.

At home, without a clear plan, Amelia just thought about everything. She remembered the weird details about Olivia and Street 49th. Strange notes and Olivia's unusual routine made everything even more confusing.

Sitting in her living room, Amelia didn't know what to do next. She had to decide whether to trust what she knew about Olivia or start looking into the mysterious secrets of that night.

"You know Dad, I'm coming from the hospital right now. Something has happened to Olivia, and people are talking all sorts of things about her. You know how our Olivia is."

Suddenly, someone calls Amelia from behind,

"Amelia, are you talking to your dad through his photo again? That means, you're facing some  trouble again, right?"

"Oh, Aunt Martha, you're here?"

"Yes, Amelia, I always come around this time, and today there was a lot of work at home today, so I came a bit early. But what happened to you? You seem quite troubled. And talking to your dad's photo means there's some big concern, right?"

Overwhelmed, Amelia couldn't hold back her tears. She hugged Aunt Martha tightly and poured out the entire story of what happened with Olivia. As Martha listened, she initially thought it was another prank, as the sisters often played such tricks on her. However, seeing the distress in Amelia's eyes, Martha couldn't stay standing and sank down to the floor.

Aunt Martha and Amelia sat together, finding comfort in each other's company. Amelia cautiously brought up the subject of Street 49th.

"Aunty, do you know where Olivia was found?"

"Where, Amelia?"

"At Street 49th."

Martha's mood shifted when she heard the name. It looked like she was trying to remember something from the past.

"Amelia, did I hear this name before? Oh, yeah, that incident."

"Yes, aunty, it's the same Street 49th. Aunty, that day was the worst day of our lives. It completely changed our Olivia. Olivia was only 12 years old. She used to go to cello classes on Street 49th. But suddenly, one day she came home very late, looking extremely disturbed. She didn't come out of her room for three days. Not only that, she broke her cello, the thing she loved the most, and threw it away. She never told anyone what had happened that day. But even today, just hearing the name Street 49th makes her tremble. Since then, she's afraid to go anywhere alone."

Amelia's revelation about Olivia's past connection to Street 49th left Aunt Martha visibly shaken. She listened intently as Amelia continued, her expression mirroring concern.

"Amelia, that's distressing to hear about Olivia's past experience on Street 49th. It sounds like something significant happened that affected her deeply."

Amelia nodded, her eyes reflecting the worry that had lingered for years.

"I've tried asking her about it, aunty, but she never opens up. It's like that day cast a shadow over her, and she's been carrying it ever since."

Martha had been listening attentively, and then the realization struck her - Olivia was alone in the hospital. Martha's eyes widened, and her tone turned stern as she confronted Amelia about leaving Olivia alone.

"Why did you leave Olivia alone when she needs you the most? What kind of behavior is this?" 

Martha questioned with concern etched on her face.

Amelia, fighting back tears, explained,

 "Aunty, I wanted to stay there, but the doctor didn't allow anyone. Two officers were already present, and they insisted I leave."

"Are you stupid, Amelia? You're her family; you can't leave her like this. Okay, no worries. You take rest. I'm going. You can come after some time."

As Martha scolded Amelia for leaving Olivia alone, a sense of guilt gnawed at Amelia. She realized her mistake and, wiping away her tears, nodded in acknowledgment. Martha, understanding the gravity of the situation, patted her gently on the shoulder before heading towards the hospital.

Amelia, torn between worry and the need for rest, struggled to find solace. Street 49th held secrets that intertwined with Olivia's mysterious past. The unanswered questions echoed in her mind, demanding resolution. With a heavy heart, she decided to gather her strength and return to the hospital after a brief respite, hoping for Olivia's recovery and the unraveling of the enigma that gripped Luna Haven.

As Martha prepared to leave for the hospital, Amelia couldn't ignore the pressing question about their mom's absence. With a furrowed brow, she hesitated before calling out to Martha.

"Aunty, where's Mom? And how long has she been away from home?"

Martha, pausing for a moment, sighed before responding,

"Amelia, I haven't met her in the past week. I come in the morning, finish my work, and then leave. Since no one is at home, I don't feel like staying either."

Amelia's concern deepened. 

"Mom's not at home for almost a week? Where did she go?"

After that, Martha expressed her concern to Amelia, saying,

"I've told both of you sisters so many times, stay with your mother. Despite having two daughters, she lives alone, and to end this loneliness, she stays away from her home for so many days.

Amelia, with a hint of defensiveness, replied

"Aunty, you know about my job, right? I'm an archaeologist and historian, and because of this, I have to stay not just away from my city for many days but even away from the country."

"Let's talk about this later. I need to see Olivia, and I'm heading to the hospital now."

After Aunt Martha left, Amelia sat alone in the living room. The house felt strangely quiet, and unanswered questions lingered in her mind. She thought about her mom, who had been away for a week. The responsibility of taking care of Olivia and the mystery of Street 49th weighed on her. The house, once warm, now seemed filled with uncertainty. As she wondered about her family and the secrets surrounding Street 49th, Amelia decided to find answers.

But first, she needed to find out about her mother. She called her mother several times, but her phone was switched off. Trying to find her, she went to the shop her mom often visited, but it had been closed by the government for many days. The worry increased as she wondered where her mother could be.

"Mom, where are you? Please come back; we need you. Who knows, this might be a chance to end the distance between you and Olivia."
