It was the day of their school anniversary. Erik decided not to attend the celebration. After crying to what had happened yesterday, he fell asleep. It was already 6:00 in the afternoon when he was dreaming again the same scene, but this time, it was so clear and vivid. He suddenly wakes up, opens his social media account, and then he saw the post of Nica. She is at her house wearing Black shirt, black jeans, and blue shoes with a caption "see you later, Exclusive Academy". He hurriedly gets his bag and calls Nica, she was not answering her phone, so he decided to go personally to their house. While he was running, he saw her getting ready to cross the street, when the sign goes green, she started walking, then suddenly Erik saw the truck, moving unsteadily and fast, he shouted her name but she can't hear him because she's using earphones. He had no choice but to run to get her. Instead, Erik got hit by the truck and the letters inside his bag were scattered into the air. Nica looked at him, crying heavily and shouting for help, when she saw something on his hand; it was the necklace she gave to him. She was sobbing when she opened the locket. It contains the picture of them together with a small writings on the other side that says "I Love You".
