(2) what happened

The day was hot, but yet it felt so... cloudy, it had a strange feeling to it. The birds were barely chirping and the grass was dry.

"1, 454 days without you." Bea said softly.

She's sitting infront of Prim's graveyard - her baby sister's grave. "I'm sorry I couldn't visit you often. The others are worried and assumed I'm mental now. Which... I basically am."

The wind blew softly, blowing the long grass in different directions and making the flowers in front of the headstone tilt to the left and right.

"If you were still here, you would've been fifteen this year." Bea said, fidgeting with her hairband.

"Prim, everything's changed. For the better, and I wish you were here to see it with me. Nancy and Thomas are married, finally. Vicky and Matt are married too, and now they're expecting."

A few leaves got caught up in the wind and swirled around until it landed near Prim's headstone, covering some of the dirt around it.

Bea picked up the leaves, moving it aside. "Everybody moved on, and I'm happy for them. But... god, how I wish you were here. I'd dig you out of this grave if I have to." She sniffled.

A single tear fell down her cheek, "I miss you... so much." A strong wind blew, making the leaves on the ground blow away and flying away into the air.

Bea let out a shaky sigh, "I wish I could go back in time. I wish I had held you more, talk to you more. I wish I had done a lot of things. But... I was so stupid back then. So... so stupid."

A bird landed next to the headstone, making a soft chirping sound before it's being scared away by a strong wind. A cloud covered the sun, leaving the place darker than before.

Bea wiped away another tear that fell, "I wonder if you'll think if I'm different now. I wonder if... if you'll think I'm... insane."

The sky then slowly turned dark, and a few rain droplets began to splatter all over the ground. One landed on the headstone and dripped down with the dirt.

With a shaky breath, Bea stood up. She looked at Prim's grave for the last time, "I'll... I'll be back as soon as possible, alright? I'm sorry, I-" Another tear fell, as the rain started to pour heavily.

The rain heavily poured down, turning the ground into muddy, squishy land. The long grass and leaves got wet from the rain and the headstone was getting even more drenched.

Bea was getting all wet from the rain, making all of her hair sticks to her face.

She looked once more toward the headstone before she turned away and walked away from the graveyard, trying to get back to the base as soon as possible.

It was still raining heavily when she finally reach the base, walking with a muddy boots through the front gate. The sky was completely dark, like it's going to be nighttime already.

"Bea." Smith, the guard greeted her politely.

"Hey." Bea replied.

Smith eyed at her, noticing how wet and muddy she was. "You're drenched to the bone."

"Yeah, I went out for a little bit." Bea said, brushing some wet hair that stuck to her face, "I didn't think it would rain this heavy."

"You should go wash up. You don't want to freeze to death, do you?" Smith said, watching as one rain drop slid down her cheek.

"Yeah, I will." Bea nodded, and quickly made her way toward her room, leaving a trail of muddy footprints behind.

When she reached her room, she slammed the door shut and let out a breath of relief. She kicked her wet boots off, letting them landed loudly on the floor.
