〈 Emma 〉

"Can't contact her as well" aunt sighs.
"How about yours?" I asked uncle.

He shook his head.

"Sorry, Emma. I know she was your mother since your elementary days." aunt pat my back.
"I just don't get why would she leave. I remember her saying she will continue her job just because of me." I weeped.
"Have you tried asking the office or something? They might know about her sudden leaving" uncle suggested.
"I haven't, i'd try to tomorrow" I nodded with a smile.

I cleared my throat and stood up to go get my self water.

My voice sounded more horrible than it already is.

Suddenly I dropped the glass, looking at it now shattered at the floor.

〈 Ethan 〉

"Why did she leave?! I have no clue!" I yelled at Grayson.
"What'd you expect?! You threat the librarian so Emma would obviously sue you about it. And now she told me she won't talk to you" he said.

Stressed, I ran my fingers through my hair a couple of times.

I dialed Emma's number and as expected, she did not answer.

"Go to her house or something" he suggested.

I stared at him for a while before heading to the garage.

-

"You go knock" I nudged Grayson.
"No you do it" he nudged me as well.
"Come on just knock goddamn" I groaned.
"Then knock!" he exclaimed.

I sighed deeply before moving forward and knocked on the door thrice.

No one answered the door.

I then saw stones near the plants on their door.

"What are you doing?" Grayson asked and I just smirk at him.

I threw two stones at Emma's window and waited her to open it.

"What's your problem, Ethan Dolan?!"

I chuckled dryly.

"Let us in, please?" I yelled.

She rolled her eyes and closed her window before letting us in.

"Where are your—"
"They're looking for Miss Minda" she replied.

She opened the door to her room and closed it after we got in.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" she asked with very heavy eyes.
"Look Emma, I know I was threatening Minda or whatsoever, but this time I have no fucking clue on why she left. It also shocked me when Grayson told me. I'm not lying, Emmo" I explained.
"How can I trust you this time?" she asked.
"Because," I exclaimed. "I really don't know why she left." I said.

Emma just yawns.

"You really sure, Ethan Dolan?" she asked curtly.
"Yeah I- I- I swear, alright?" I replied, raising my hand.
"Even if you did it because you wanted me to cry on your chest and just— fucking ask for your presence 'cause Miss Minda is gone?!" she yelled.

I swallowed.

"Um—"
"Now what, Ethan?" she crossed her arms.
"I think I know who did this." I whispered.

Emma raised an eyebrow.

"Marie." I said.
