The Sin

Chapter Four

"Mom! Dad! NOOOOO!!!!!!"

Ivy was once again awakened by cold sweat that was drenching her body. This time instead of getting out of bed, she just sat on her bed. Tears rolling down on her cheeks. Her heart is aching.

She tries to keep her tears from falling as she holds her parents' photo. The agony of losing them is unbearable for her. All she wants is justice for their deaths. There is no evidence to indicate that the accident was caused by a hit-and-run. It was concluded that her father's negligence was the cause of the accident.

She was certain that it was not true at all. She tried to tell that to the police but due to her head injury, they put it off. They concluded that she was not in the right mind while giving the statement and furthermore she was traumatized by the accident.

"I will find the truth. No matter how long it takes..." Ivy bit her lips in anger and was determined to do what she had to do.

"Hey Dash! Are you okay man?"

Dash jolted and turned towards the voice. Ben has been very close to him since he started working at the restaurant. The only person he trusted was him. The one person who will also cause trouble for him.

"Ben do you know why Ivy didn't turn up for work today? I mean it's already been two days," asked Dash.

"I don't know man. You should ask Derrick. Hold on. I thought you and her were close. How come you don't text her or call and ask? Or did you do something to her after the movie date that night?" Ben winked at him and laughed.

Dash's eyes sparkled with excitement as a sudden idea struck him. Swiftly grabbing his phone, he started typing a message.

Hi Ivy, it's Dash. How are you?

Staring intently at his phone, Dash eagerly awaited her response. Thoughts of her filled his mind. As each moment passed without a reply, his anxiety grew.

Tritt..Tritt... Tritt..Tritt...*

Hi Dash, I'm doing well.

Dash couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Would you like to join me for dinner at my place tonight?

Dash was taken aback for a moment, feeling a mix of excitement and worry.

Sure, why not. But are your parents okay with me coming over? I wouldn't want them to misunderstand, even though it's just dinner. Haha...

It took a while before Ivy responded.

No, they're fine with it. Don't worry.

Alright, if you say so. I'll be there at 8. See you later. And by the way... I Miss You... :p

Silence...

Tritt.. Tritt.. Tritt.. Tritt..

Me too... :)
