They used to write letters to each other for so long that they forgot to do anything else. They forget that time even exist.

They forget that there is a world out there, they forget about the reality. They were so occupied in their own little world, they didn't paid attention to the small problems which could change their world.

They were lost in the whispers of time, that the world out there fades away like a forgotten melody.

As they used to write letters all day long they forget about their problems.

Brooks forget totally about drugs and never thought about it whereas Autumn forget about her troubling parents.

The whole day they used to read and write letters to each other.

Autumn started to compose a song on her violin and Brooks started to compose song on his piano. They used to share notes of songs to each other. But little did they know they both were composing songs for each other.

Autumn used to smile reading his notes and Brooks used to zone out sometimes while imagining her playing those notes.

After that fight Brooks never heard from Charles and never received any packet of drugs.

In the contrast, Charles was up to something else.

He was planning to destroy Autumn & Brook's little world, little castle of dreams with his own evil mind.

He was preparing to be like a dark tide, to crash against the walls of dreams, to wash away the foundations of fantasy by his malevolent plots.

Charles wasn't able to concentrate on his work because he was too occupied with the thoughts of Autumn being friends with Brooks or even more...

He quickly erased all thoughts and started working but he wasn't able to. No matter how much he wanted, but he couldn't ignore the fact. That Brooks was in love with Autumn and she probably might be too........

Just by thinking of this thought his blood would boil.

During the college holidays, he used to have less work so he decided to work more on his evil plan.

Sometimes he used to just to ask one of the postmen to give him some selective letters in exchange of handsome amount of money.

Afterall money is all what everyone wants........

When he read the letter in which Brooks addressed her as 'Meadow Saffron' he felt as if he wanted to kill him.

But he wanted to give him a very painful death. A death so painful that he, himself would like to die but he wouldn't be able to escape. To give him a lesson not to think of taking things which belongs to someone else.

Especially Autumn, who only belongs to Charles.

And when he read the letter from Autumn in which she addressed him as 'Dear' and shared about her family problems to him it boiled his blood.

He was angry because she hadn't even shared those things with him but she shared those with Brooks, but his reaction to Brooks's letter was totally opposite.

It seemed as if he was happy on his condition. It seemed as if he got his weak spot. He laughed like a Cheshire cat with that letter in his hands.

He also read her embarrassing moment letter.

He found that so cute that he wanted to keep it but he wasn't able to cause he had to return the letter to postman so he took the picture of the letter and keep that with him.

As the letters between them increased, the number of photos of Autumn while writing the letters, reading the letter, or her reactions increased in Charles's room.

As the days of vacation were coming to an end, he was starting to execute his plan.

And then the day comes............

The three of them were very happy but they not for the college.

For some other reasons.

Every person has a different reason for their happiness.

Autumn was happy that she would finally be able to meet Brooks. Brooks was happy that he would be able to meet Autumn and tell her one more secret of his.

And Charles, Charles was the most happiest one. He would finally be able to execute his evil yet to get-her-rid-off-him-trouble plan according to him. He was happy that he would finally be able to have the love of his life.

But few days ago, before the college started they shared some more letters which broke Charles internally. Although they both might have not understood what they meant but Charles did. He felt as if something ins him which was so vulnerable broke and he felt a sudden pain in his chest.

His hazel eyes read those letters again and again to make sure he was reading correctly. His lips parted and he lets out a sigh of sorrow.

He was so scared to loose her that he didn't want to wait even for a single day to execute his plan.

But he waited,

He waited for her sake.

He waited college to reopen.

But he did took small steps.

And then he executed his plan for which he was waiting so dearly......................
