While the party was still going, I was in the bathroom sobbing with Sonoko by my side. After a few minutes of tears streaming down my face, a worried Ran came in.
- Are you ok?! I swear someone is going to get a major beating from me! - said Ran cracking her knuckles.
- It's...ok...- I reply between sobs - I guess I just...didn't expect...that coming.
- Anna...- said Sonoko with a pained smile - you wanna head home?
That moment I couldn't get words out of my mouth so I just nodded. The only thing on my mind right now was 'I wanna go home'.

Sonoko called her chauffeur and drove me home.

- If you want to talk just call ok? - asked Ran. Sonoko worriedly gave me a hug.
- It's going to be ok.
I gave her a pained smile and nodded.

I got home and went back to my bedroom. It was now 9 o'clock. My parents are still working, so I'm all alone.

I decided to go take a hot bath and rethink what happens this night. We were playing 'truth or dare', Aoko's friend dared her to kiss Kaito. She gave him a kiss and Kaito didn't break the kiss right away. Thinking about this scene in my head makes my heart ache.

What is this feeling?

The next few days I decided to get my head out of the gutter. The officers called me more often now so I started working on more cases, including: murders, kidnappings and robberies.

I wanted to forget. That horrible moment because it broke me. I'm shattered into pieces.

I haven't been going to classes now, not because I was skipping, I've been too busy working in cases.

No.

That's just an excuse.

The truth is...

I've been working on more cases now because I wanted to have an excuse to miss going to school. To not see their faces. Especially his face.
