Ugh. The freaking stranger was right. My eyes widened with tears on it. I can’t breathe I can’t believe this.

“A-are you in love with somebody else?” I asked with tears falling on my cheeks

“I think so” Dammit. And more tears flowed to my eyes “But we can still –“ he continued but I cut him

“DON’T say anything” I said “All this time you were lying to me?!” I said 

“I can –“ 

“NO!” I screamed unfastening my seatbelt

“What are you gonna do?” he asked and I opened the car door.

“What are you doing?!” he exclaimed 

“Goodbye!” I said, he tried to say something but I didn’t hear cause I closed the car door and drove away quickly, I didn’t actually expecting him to leave. Did I really do that? My tears flood my eyes so hard that I can’t see anything, and of course the rain was so hard it hurts my skin. Then a very blinding light appeared on my right. It’s a.

Car

My heart stopped and thought of nothing, I stood there holding myself in the coldness of the rain watching the light come closer and closer. Then it stopped. A man came out of the car, he ran towards me and held me in the arms, I can’t see his face and the rain pours so hard.

“Wh – What are you doing here?” the man said with a familiar tone removing his jacket and put it on me

“S-Stranger?” I asked 

“Well, the one and only” he said and I removed my tears from my eyes

“What are you doing here?” I asked

“Going home, what about you, I can’t think of any reason why you’re in the middle of the street crying in this rain” he said

“You were right” I said starting to cry again

“About what?” he asked

“Oliver” I said like a baby 

“Oh did he just–“ he said

“Yes” I said before I nod, another minutes passed and he came up with some words.

“Uhm, you know, I should take you home” he said

“I can walk” I said trying to be humble

“In the middle of the rain? No.” he said grabbing my arm, I can’t resist him, I went inside the car as he went to his seat and starts the car, he was driving so fast, but I don’t care I want to go home.

“Told you so” he said 

“Not funny, Stranger” I said

“Come on, Hazel, I know you believed me in the first place” he said 

“Whatever” I said the rain started to fade

“Anyway, maybe you were right” he said

“About what?” I asked shaking, because I’m so cold

“Walking” he said stopping the engine

“Why?” I asked

“We’re here” he said, my eyebrows raised and look at the window, and it’s right there, my house is standing on the same place and nothing unusual

“H-how did you know this is my house?” I asked 

“I always pass here, and I always see you through your window” he said 

“Okay” I said slowly “Anyway, Thank you” I said opening the car door “Stranger” I scribed

“Don’t mention it” he said as I close the door, then he start to leave

While I was walking towards our house, I remembered I don’t have a gift for my sister yet. And then I ran into our house and went to my bedroom to change my wet and soaked dress. 

I went to my bed lying on my soft covers and sheets, I closed my eyes for minutes, thinking of the things that have happened today. I need someone to talk to, someone who I can share everything. And someone who can give me tips in buying a gift for my sister.

I grabbed my phone and studied my contacts. And there was just few people who I can talkto. Emily, she hates me. Oliver, he broke up with me. And Stranger, he’s annoying.. Giana, she’s probably busy about Ranz, wait Ranz haven’t come home yet or maybe he went home earlier than me.

I went to June’s bedroom and she’s still sleeping. And then I went to Ranz’s bedroom and instead of seeing Ranz I saw.

Giana?
