This is how I imagined my (rather perfect) life when I was writing The Exhausting Journey.
Adelle Macron has it all. Perfect looks, perfect family, perfect lifestyle. Or so what everyone thought.
Adelle was forced to go to her former elementary sch...
"so you sent this Mars guy to Notre Dame, and he didn't come back. This is just..strange." Barron said, confused.
We walked slowly hand in hand on the sea shore. Like you guessed, I told Barron everything. He believes me, but still sort of confused. "yes, that's exactly what's happening right now. And I'm just scared it will reach the paparazzi somehow. You know, they have a way of getting everything."
He nodded at me. "I kind of know how you feel. They keep saying that the ex presidents who once lived in The White House and are now dead still live there. Like they're haunting it or something." It hit me after a second.
"yeah, I heard about that once. So it's..sorta of true ?" I asked. "yeah, nearly. I was afraid of the laundry room when I was younger. I used to imagine the dead laundry lady going there every once in a while." We chuckled.
"I missed you, Barron." I hugged his waist tightly, as he hugged me back, whispering "me too". A few moments I let go, because I heard my phone giving a small ring. A Notification.
"sorry, I'll see this quickly." He nodded, then I got out my phone from my (nice) backpack.

It was another video. I tapped it, and slowly watched. But then I screamed. It was a video of Mars getting attacked by the lady that I saw in my visions.
He didn't seem to know what to do, he was struggling, and she just attacked him aggressively. After a while the struggle stopped.
I sobbed as Barron hugged me tightly. "Adelle, it's okay, I promise." I shook my head, crying harder. "It's not okay. He's dead because of me. He's gone because of me."
"No, no, he's not. You didn't do anything." He tried to calm me down, but I was so deep in despair and sadness that I wouldn't have paid attention to him but hug him tighter.
"Please, Adelle. Just calm down." "I killed him.." I whispered as I clunged onto him more. He let me go, and looked anxiously into my eyes. I stared back, my eyes teary.
"You didn't. I know you didn't." We hugged again.
Timeskip :
I arrived home after I said goodbye to Barron. He was really supportive and understanding about what he just heard, not to mention that he believed what I said. I didn't think he would.
I entered our nice living room, to find mum, working as usual, my sister, and her boyfriend, Rush Butler. "Hey, Rush. When did you arrive here ?" "This morning. I just couldn't wait to Allison."
I rolled my eyes as he eyed her dreamily. "Thanks again, Rush. I love you." "Me too, honey. I love you too." They hugged, and I rolled my eyes again.
Rajwan came out of his room, eyeing the couple in boredom. "Hey, sis. How was school, and filming ?" I remembered what happened to Mars.
I let out my phone and showed him the video that was sent to me lately. "I'm really sorry, Adelle." I hugged him, trying my best not to tear up.
A few moments later, We let go because I thought I heard mum sequeling.
