The Truth

Nov-18

Today was the day I lost Faint for the first time. We went shopping together, and she seemed nervous about being in a crowded place. I had noticed this before when we were at a party, where she would avoid people. I didn't understand why, but she seemed to enjoy it nonetheless. We bought some clothes for Faint and indulged in ice cream before heading to the mall. Unfortunately, she got separated from me in the crowd, and despite my efforts to find her, I couldn't locate her. Feeling anxious, I returned home, hoping she would make her way back there. To my relief, when I arrived home, I found Faint sitting there, crying. As soon as she saw me, she ran to me, hugged me tightly, and expressed her fear that I had abandoned her. I reassured her, promising that I would never leave her alone. I asked her to stop crying and come inside before someone noticed her. That night, I asked if we could continue living like this forever, but Faint mentioned that she would only be staying for a few more days. I urged her to share whatever she wanted to say before she left.

On this day, Faint got into a fight with someone, and it surprised the person witnessing it. Later, she expressed her desire to go outside, so we went to a hilltop near my home. Faint was visibly excited, as it seemed to be her first time experiencing such a setting. We stood at the peak, and as the wind blew, her hair danced with it, filling her with joy. I wanted to tell her that I loved her, but my nerves got the best of me. Instead, she sensed my hesitation and assumed I was hungry, diverting the conversation to suggest we grab something to eat. I decided to save my confession for another time. On our way back home, we stopped at a tattoo parlor because Faint wanted to get a tattoo on her hand. She chose a design of wings. Throughout the tattooing process, she closed her eyes and held my hands, making funny faces as the tattoo artist worked. As a small gesture, I gifted Faint a keychain with a cute teddy bear on it. On our way back, we encountered some troublesome guys who started bothering us. Faint kicked one of them, causing him to fall. Surprisingly, they started chasing us, but when Faint turned and looked at them, they abruptly retreated. I was perplexed as to why they ran away, and when I asked Faint how she did it, she simply replied, "I don't know."

Today, we went to the treehouse in the woods, as usually did when my mother went to work. When it was an evening we went to the treehouse which was said by Justin. The treehouse was charming, and we began by jumping into a nearby pond. The water was icy cold, and Faint enjoyed playing in it. As she swam, I called out to her and when she turned to look at me, she momentarily lost control and started to sink. I swiftly caught her and confessed my love. In response, she hugged me tightly and said she loved me too. The moon emerged from behind the clouds, and the sky became adorned with stars, painting a beautiful backdrop for our emotions. The silver moon, coupled with the cold breeze, made the moment even more enchanting. Eventually, we returned to the treehouse, where only one room was available. I offered to sleep down, on the floor, but Faint suggested that we sleep together. Although hesitant, I agreed, provided she was comfortable with the arrangement. She reassured me that she was only comfortable being close to me. It was the first time we shared a bed in the same room, and the cold air sneaked in through the window, while the moon watched over us. Faint covered us with a blanket to ward off the chill and said, "Now is the time." Perplexed, I asked her what she meant. She then began to reveal her past, explaining that after her parents passed away when she was 10 years old, her uncle, Tyler Marque, took her in. However, he treated her cruelly, confining her to their house and forbidding her from attending school or leaving the premises. Faint became a virtual servant, hidden away from the world. She secretly watched TV by peeking through her room's door. She attempted to escape multiple times, but her uncle always caught her, claiming to neighbors that she was mentally unstable. However, one day she managed to flee and ended up at my house. Tears streamed down her face as she recounted her story. In response, I suggested that we report her situation to the police, but Faint hesitated, explaining that her uncle had a nine-year-old child who would suffer the same fate if she took action. I reassured her, professing my love and vowing to protect her regardless of her background or origin. Overwhelmed with emotion, she hugged and kissed me passionately. That night, we shared an intimate moment, and Faint lost her virginity.

Next day (Nov-25)

I woke up to find the sun directly overhead. It was nearly noon, and I called out for Faint, only to realize she wasn't there. Panic set in, and I frantically searched for her, but she was nowhere to be found. I grew increasingly agitated and rushed back home, hoping she had returned there. To my surprise, Olivia, not Faint, was waiting for me. In my confusion and longing for Faint, I mistook Olivia for her and said apologetically, "I am sorry, I am very sorry. I was thinking of something else." Olivia stood there in shock. Desperate to find Faint, I contacted Justin and Amal, requesting their assistance. Time seemed to crawl by as we searched, each passing moment amplifying my longing to locate her. Eventually, I decided to search for Tyler Marque's house, although I didn't know the exact address. I called James, asking him to help me find it, and he provided the information. I arrived at Tyler's house and demanded that he release Faint. In response, Tyler asked me who I was and dismissed my claims, asserting that she was dead. His words cut through me, and he called the police to have me removed. Sitting in the police station, I shared the situation with James, who revealed the devastating truth. He informed me that Faint had passed away in a road accident near my house on November 4, around 2 am. My body went numb, and I felt as if my heart had stopped. In that moment, my phone vibrated, jolting me back to reality. Desperate for any shred of hope, I answered the call, praying that it would be news of Faint's discovery.
