When Mr Lee stopped the car at the parking lot of the hospital, he could feel that beside him, Davide had many questions. However, maybe he was trying to be patient waiting for Mr Lee to say something first before he asked any question. Davide just stared through the window watching people going about as he waited for Mr Lee to alight from the vehicle first."My sister is here" Mr Lee started. Davide turned to look at him, he pursed his lips and waited for Mr Lee to continue, "she was shot".Davide gasped, "then what are we doing in the car, shouldn't we be there with her?""Are we the doctors that we should make haste?" Mr Lee questioned.Davide paused his hand that was already reaching to open the car, he realized that Mr Lee was right and so he nodded his head and then leaned back into his seat. "I'm sorry, I'm just so anxious." He apologized, "who shot her?"Mr Lee shook his head, "I don't know, my brother just told me she was shot and sent me the location, regarding anything els

Mr Lee suddenly felt like it was his fault for bringing it up. He had heard how Davide's voice broke and he guessed that without realizing, Davide had been inexplicably hurt by what he had done. He must've felt an underlying sense of guilt these past days. The issue Avery was facing was no small fit and he had just abandoned her like she was nothing.She had had a miscarriage and no matter what had happened, she couldn't be blamed for it. She had also confessed her love for him which could mean that losing that child was never her aim."When she found out she was pregnant, she didn't want the child. I had to convince her to keep it and I could see how reluctant she was". Davide started, "then she started to use the child to get to me, she would make up stories just so that I would show up. She wanted me back together with her and did all sorts of bullshit to accomplish that. And then we finally got divorced and suddenly the child was gone. It had been a shitty thing to do but I had bl

Avery could not will herself to leave her house, ever since her mother's body was taken away, she couldn't clean, move from that spot she found herself. She could do nothing but just sit and stare in the dark room. The sunlight would pour in sometimes but it didn't help how she was feeling.She didn't cry again, she couldn't. She was so lost and alone, staring into space thinking about the tikes when she could've done something with her life but she didn't. She thought back to Davide, thought about how his back looked when he walked out on her, she thought about the confusion that had been imprinted on his face. She couldn't forget how he had blamed her for what happened to her child.She felt life was really quite funny. The people she had tried to hang on to eventually left her. She had tried all kinds of techniques by listening to the ones around her. Some people told her to hang on tightly, she took the advice, to a point where she started to feel that she was hanging on a bit too

Avery froze when she heard that question from Cassie. She didn't know what to say but certainly she had an answer for Cassie. She thought she didn't in any way deserve Cassie's trust. She was the one who had out Cassie's mother in the hospital, so why would she even for a second think that she was worthy of Cassie's trust.And also, she was well aware that if Cassie came to find out about the truth, then surely she wouldn't think that Avery was so trustworthy."You cannot". Avery said.Cassie was shocked, this was the first time that she had asked that question and had gotten a reply like that. She had friends, she had people that her relationship with then started from that single question and she thought it would be the same thing for Avery.Normally, she would ask: "can I trust you?" And they would proceed to reply with "sure, you can'' or "I don't know, can you?"Neither has a response been so direct, so truthful, so full over emotion, so filled with regret.She looked over at Ave

I don't care," Avery said, "I don't care if I die, I have nothing, I have no one in this world anymore. I only bring pain so yes, let them exterminate me. I have lived a fulfilling life".Mr Lee's heart lurched at those words. He was the only one other than Avery who had ever found himself at that place in life where he couldn't bother himself to stay alive, the time where he had just left the hospital. Then it had dawned on him that his mother would prefer that he was dead. At that time, he actually wanted to die, he didn't know what he was staying alive for. His family didn't want him, life was too hard, nothing was going his way. He really wanted to die and get it over and done with.He related quite well with what Avery was feeling and he pitied her because he knew how hard it must've been on her to make that decision that she didn't care. She was being brave but also very suicidal. He recalled the conversation he had with Davide, looking at her, he could see the shadow of that wo
