TW: Mention of death, suicide, trauma

"Merry Christmas!" I greeted everyone when the clock ticked 12:00 in the midnight.

We're all complete here at our house. We invited Noth's family as well as Blaze's. I hugged Blaze's mom and gave her a gift. I just gave her a branded perfume.

I saw Blaze's mark on his wrist. It was an Emerald green one while Noth has red, same with Bry. They said our mark will be removed once we already received the result.

"Merry Christmas, Blaze!" I greeted him before we went to the kitchen to get some food to eat.

"Are you ready for the results?" I asked pertaining to the results of that color detector test.

"Well, we have no choice but to be ready." He shrugged.

"How many grandchild do you want?" I heard mom asked Blaze's mom.

I cleared my throat but mom just ignored me. What the heck? Why would they talk about those things? We were still young. We're not even college students.

"Just let them." Blaze whispered, making me shook my head.

After having fun, they already left. We stayed up until 3:00 in the morning. Bry and Aunt Eunice will be sleeping here at our house. We have guest rooms here.

They said the results will be given to us a week after New Year. And I'm still nervous about it.

"Merry Christmas mom, dad!" I said when I went downstairs. Bry and Aunt Eunice already left the next day.

It's Christmas day! And it's Sunday! We're going to church today to attend a mass. I'm wearing a white and red ombré dress. It's an off shoulder one so I wore a necklace to give it a style. I also wore a white rubber shoes.

"Let's go!" I said before getting my white sling bag. Dad will drive today.

After the mass, we ate at a restaurant to have lunch. I only ate a burger since I ate a lot last night. I can still feel the food I ate inside my stomach.

A week after, we just stayed at home the whole week since there's no classes.

"Sweetie, your dad and I will be going somewhere okay? Just go cook something if you're hungry." She smiled while looking at herself at the mirror. 

"Okay." I said while typing something on my phone.

"I love you take care." She said before going outside to start the car.

"Love you sweetie." Dad gave me a kiss on my forehead before going outside.

"Love you both! Drive safely! Take care!" I shouted when they were about to leave. They just smiled at me and drove.

I'm really bored. Ugh! What should I do? I just opened the TV and watched series while waiting for mom and dad.

A few hours later, my phone suddenly beeped so I checked it.

From: Bry

Hey.... Crantia. Mom and me will go there okay? We just need to tell you something.

I just replied 'okay'. Will they sleep here again? Why do I feel nervous about this? I stopped overthinking when our telephone rang.

[Hello? Is this Mr. and Mrs. Belwaiña's house?]  The lady on the other line asked.

"Yes, I'm their daughter." I said.

"This is from Houlivard Hospital. Your mom and dad got into an accident. I dropped the telephone and sat at the couch, trying to process everything in my mind.
