Chuu's pov

I am there.
She is there.
We are at the playground.
We play hide and seek.
We can't decide who is going to seek.
We play rock paper scissors to decide.
I won.
She lost.
She counts.
She seeks.
I hide in the bush.
She finds me.
I count.
I seek.
I'm looking for her.
I can't find her anywhere.
I hear someone behind me.
I turn around.
It's her.

I wake up from this one recurring dream. I don't know what to think now.

Could this be a sign?

No.

It's just a dream.

Don't be crazy, Chuu.

I wake up and see I got a text from the film crews, saying that we film the scene again today, after my classes.

Great.

I pack my things like usually and get dressed. No photography classes today so it will be okay.

As I approach the playground I can see that they have already arrived. I approach them closer and spot the fake Yves.

Great.

She was talking with Jake with their backs turned and I approach them slowly.

"What is the point of this documentary anyway?" the fake Yves asks

"Well in hope we can solve this case and finally close it we are making a documentary. Also, we are trying to raise people's awareness that it is not safe to just send children alone outside."

"Weren't they like 12 tho? That's basically a teenager?"

"Well yeah but-.."

"Do you seriously think that there is actually hope for her to be found?"

"Sorry?" Jake looks at the actor in confusion

"I mean-"

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't it like obvious?"

"Huh?What?"

"That she's dead, obviously. I mean, who would keep a kid locked for so long?"

"I don't know Jo-"

"Let's be real now. She's like. You know. 100% dead."

No.

No she's not. You stupid bitch.

I jump in the convo.

"Shut up. No. She isn't dead." I say

She turns around to face me and laughs softly. "You're cute, honey. I'm sorry for not hyping you up like everyone else."

"Shut the fuck up. What do you even know?" i snap

"Chuu!" Jake says with a high, lightly aggressive tone.

"No. What do you know hmh? What do you know about Yves and her disappearance?Come on now?"

"Someone calm this kid down." She says while laughing and looking around

"She's alive. And I'm going to find her. You have my word. You stupid bitch."

"CHUU! That would be enough." Jake snaps at me

"No, no it is not enough." I grab my backpack and put it on my shoulders. "I'm so done with this."

I ran.

I ran away.

I ran away from them.

I can feel warm tears rolling down my cheek.

How can they be so cruel?

I continued to run, and then i reached a pedestrian crossing. I stood there, waiting for the light to turn green so I can cross the road.

I felt like someone was staring at me, so I turned around.

That girl again.

The fake Yves.

She was following me.

I didn't really see her face, but I immediately recognized her clothes.

"What the fuck do you want from me?!I told you and Jake I'm so done with this. I don't wanna do this anymore. Stop following me, please."

She stayed silent with her head down. I noticed her clothes were ripped, dirty and she didn't smell very nice. There were cuts and bruises on her arms and legs. Her hair looked like it was half ripped off, dirty and greasy.

"What the hell happened to you?You fell into a manhole or something?"

"Chuu." was all she said.

My name.

That's when I looked up to her face.

This isn't the actor.

This is Yves.

My Yves
