     "Did you bring out here to the woods to kill me?" I say 'very seriously'. Kai stares at me with a very confused face till I burst out laughing. "You're seriously cute when you're confused. Anyways, why are we here?" I ask him. He sits leaning against a tree.
         "From what I know about you, you don't like drawing attention to yourself, you do not enjoy fancy things and you're very outdoorsy, so I thought going to the woods was a good idea."
         "Really good. Let's play any three questions. I start. Favorite color? Mine's blue." I say.
          He grins and says "Green. Favorite place?"
          I lay down on the grass and look at the stars. Kai copies me. "The beach. I love the water so much. I used to go there every summer. I haven't been there in a long time though. Last one from me. Any siblings?" He suddenly stopped smiling. I mentally hit myself.
            "I had one. She was called Ashley. She was working for someone called Mr. Knife or something. Then she discovered something and tried to quit, but her bosses wouldn't let her. They started to threaten her and finally, she broke. She committed suicide. If I had helped her..." Kai's voice broke. I took his hand and lay my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. "It's not your fault. Don't have guilt for something that's not your fault. I have a lot of experience on that and, trust me, you don't need it." Some tears fell down my cheeks. "I really enjoyed it. Thank you. You helped me a lot." I kissed his cheek. "See you tomorrow." I ran off into the trees. I ran for some time then sat on the ground. What Kai had said had impacted me a lot. I'd known Ashley. We had been friends and I had been devastated. What most bugged me was the part about 'Ashley's bosses". Bosses, plural. From what I knew,  Mr. Machette didn't work for anyone or with anyone. There still was the problem about his spontaneous trip. He always told me everything, he was like a father to me. I was submersed in my thoughts when my phone lit up. It was Vi. "How did it go? Did you kiss? Where did he take you? What did you talk about? You know what, I'm in your house, tell me here. Bye." I laughed. She was so crazy. I ran back home and Vi stared shouting like a madman. This is going to be a long night.

     Hi guys. This week was a disaster. I was reading and correcting some mistakes when my phone lagged and erased everything I had written. I was gonna die! But then one of my wonderful friends helped me write it again while we were watching Flash.
       This chapter is dedicated to all the authors, on Wattpad or from paperback books, that inspired me to write. J. K. Rowling, Chris Colfer, Rick Riordan, Marissa Meyer and Eoin Colfer are just a few. Thank you for everything.
        I still am open for suggestions on the new title or cover.
        Well, see you on Monday. Bye 👋🏻💙💙
