Chapter 8

My mind was blown up last night.It's like I was floating for the thought that Lia is dead.

I went to Tod's place and tried to asked help.

"Your serious,you really think your girlfriend is dead?"He said while laughing.

He thinks I'm insane.Well,who would believe if I say that my girl is a ghost and that I"ve been with her all this time.

"Was she cold?Was she wearing white?Was she—"

"Tod!"I interrupted as I've got eough of all his questions.

"Tod,I came here to ask for your help.I wanna know the truth Tod."I added

"Okay okay,I'll help you.Just relax jeezz!"

Tod tried to search for Lia again,but this time...he searched on the deceased files.

We waited for a couple of hours.Tid asked me about Lia and I told him everything.

A few moments later...

THERE WAS NO MATCH.

I was getting more upset.Everytime I thought of something to find out the truth,the outcome is not what I expected.

(sobbing)

"Look Jake,I'll try my best.If I have a free time I will find Lia..even though it would take years for me to do it."

I smiled at Tod.I don't know why I never thought of having him as a friend before.Now,he's the only trusted friend I've got.

After months of questioning everything,I still failed to find out the truth.

I never went to school for a week.My uncle was on a business tour so he won't know.I never took any of my medicine.I went to the backyardnd burned all of them,my medications never helped me in anything.I stayed in my room,alone and locked up.I thought I was fine,I thought I won't be miserable again but....here I am....locked up in darkness.

(knocking on door)

When I tried to check out who was knocking,it was Tod.He brought me a copy of all the lectures for the last week I was absent.

"Dude,you missed out all the classes,were having an examination this Tuesday.What's wrong?

"I'm a mess,I feel like I couldn't do anything right."

"Dude,don't say such words,your Jacob Ross remember?"He said as a compliment to comfort me.

"Who is she Tod?Why can't I figure everything out?"I asked with a heavy heart.

"Maybe you don't need to figure out,maybe you just need to set yourself free."He said

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that your locked up because you think you deserve to be locked up.I'm saying that you need to go out and have fun."

Tod is not actually the man I expect to say all those words but I'm glad that aside from my uncle,I have a friend with me.

I went back to school and took the examination.I tried to set myself free.

Well,my uncle find out about what I did.He got disappointed but he stills understands.I told him that I don't wanna take medications anymore and he agreed.

I tried to rise up.....again.

I heard That Haven Hotel is closing due to bankruptcy.I went back to the rooftop for the last time and...

...............................................................she...............................was..............................there..........

She was standing in the corner.

"Hi Jake."She said with a smile

"L-lia?"

I ran to her and hugged her so....so....sooo tightly.

I closed my eyes.

I don't wanna let go anymore.

I wanna stay there forever.

But I realized,what if all of this isn't true.

So,I opened my eyes.....

But,

She was still there.

I cried so hard and so does she.

"Where were you?Why did you left?I said while crying

"I'm so sorry,I couldn't tell you the truth—I'm so sorry."

"It doesn't matter anymore,your here and that is what's important."

I hugged her again and I'm never gonna let go.Since the Haven Hotel is closing,we'll have to find another meeting place.Lia took me to a secret place.She covered my eyes on the way.

She took me to the Garden of the Royal Realm.It is where my Mom used to take me when I was young.There was a mini pool there.We take of our clothes.......all of it.

We swam under the full beautiful moon.As I was staring deep into her eyes,I'm falling even more and more.I grabbed her waist and kissed her,she moaned as she felt my body rubbing through hers.I kissed her passionately and hugged her tight.I went inside her.I felt the hotness of her inner body.I bit her lips while exchanging saliva with her.

That night was the best night of my life.

Even though I know it won't last forever but atleast I have a memory of her that will last for a lifetime.
