A BOUTIQUE,6PM*
Ava and Octavia came for their dresses together since Demi is currently busy with Ethan.
The boutique is the signature one for their dance dresses, so they’re regulars here, and they were directed to their section by the attendants.
Monica is on the other side, shopping with her lapdogs too, and immediately she saw Ava and Octavia, she started eavesdropping on their conversation.
“I think I’m getting something cheap this month, ion want dad to go broke” Octavia said as they strolled that session.
“I’m not spending more than 80 too. I’m going for flayed elastic skirt and armless beaded top. I want scanty beads on the skirt too” Ava replied.
“I got you!” Octavia smiled, pulling out the exact description from an hanger. The outfit is color red, and it immediately reminded her of Gray.
The red bracelet, the red gown he got her…
“Ava?” Octavia’s voice brought her back.
“Huh?”
“Are you ok? You don’t like it?”
“I do. Give it to me” Ava took the outfit quickly.
“If this is about Gray, then you should chill. His father held a press conference and debunked all the allegations already. He sued the TV station that aired the news and promised to track down anyone who makes posts about it online again” Octavia said.
“He did?” Ava blinked.
“Yeah, I watched it with my dad” Octavia nodded, and Ava sighed.
“But isn’t Gray too mysterious? He didn’t say anything about all these at all. He only made a post about a lake some minutes ago” Octavia replied.
“Lake?” Ava quickly faced her.
Octavia got her phone and showed her the post.
It’s a picture of Gos lake, the dark lake with the caption… CHILLY.
“I’ll be right back!” Ava immediately returned the phone and outfit and ran out of the boutique.
Monica followed her immediately.
“Tommorow is the ceremony you can’t just run off! Ava!” Octavia called after Ava.
No answer.
“Gosh, my two friends are my greatest problems” Octavia sighed.
She picked out her own outfit shortly and payed for it together with Ava’s own. She’d take the money from Ava later.
She left the boutique with the two bags, and a car halted beside the road.
Oscar winded down…
“Hey Oscar!” She beamed.
“Hop in” he said, and she did.
He drove them to a bar, and they went in together to meet Alex inside.
He’s totally drunk, saying gibberish on the table he’s sitting on.
“Can he get any worse tonight?” Oscar muttered.
“What’s up with him?” Octavia asked.
“I told dad…I told him not to do it…but he did…” Alex blabbered, and she shook her head.
“He’s a menace”
Oscar lifted him up by the arm, but he immediately splurged forward, throwing up directly on Octavia’s joggers.
“What the…” Oscar’s eyes widened.
Octavia looked at her joggers shockingly, then back at drunk Alex.
“I’ll kill you” she muttered, grabbing his hair to pull roughly.
“Octavia please! Octavia! Octavia!!” Oscar started trying to separate them…

ETHAN’S PLACE*
Demi’s car made a halt, and she quickly helped Ethan out of the car before giving him his walking stick.
She took him out to shop like his friends advised, and though he was against it, she did it anyways.
The trunk is full of his things right now.
She took everything in by herself, and he just stood there, feeling useless till she was done.
“All done, Amy can unbox them when she arrives” she said.
“Sure. Thanks Demi…. thanks for helping a useless me” she replied, and she came closer.
“Don’t you dare say that again. You’re not useless… you’re Ethan Cruz, a able-bodied guy” she said, and he smiled.
“Happy birthday once again” she said.
“Thanks for making my birthday memorable for the first time since I was born” he replied, and she held his face.
“I’d do anything for you. Just stay happy” she said, and he nodded.
“Stay still” she said, and he blinked his white eyes as she stood on her toes to kiss him on the lips.
“I’ve always wanted to do this” she said afterwards, and he blushed like a girl.
“I wish I could see your face…I want to see you” he said, and she held his hands to her face.
“You’ll see me, soon… I’ll do everything I can to make you see” she said, and he pulled her into a hug.
It lasted for minutes, and when they pulled away, she watched him going in before driving off.
Immediately she left, a masked guy appeared in the dark, entering the house.

GOS LAKE*
Ava felt a rush of Deja Vu and awareness as she came out of the taxi beside the lake.
The taxi sped off, and she’s left alone here where it all started. The location where her life tragedy kicked off from.
The lake her father died in, and the spot she was kidnapped from.
She took off her shoes, and the night air blew her silky hair as she walked further into the shore .
As the sandy soil tickled her foot, memories of her kid play flooded her head.
She could imagine herself running around this place, chasing butterflies in the afternoon and fireflies at night while giggling happily.
The fact that this place holds both happy and sad memories did a good job in wrenching deep emotions out of her. She couldn’t hold them back.
Her face turned red as a result of the cold. It’s really chilly here like Grayson’s caption, it has always been chilly, but why is Grayson not here?
She’s not seeing any sign of him. His rose scent would have alerted her of his presence if he’s here.
She stood in front of the lake and stared right into it, imagining herself inside.
She closed her eyes and tried to imagine the hands that pushed her that day on her back, and she did.
Someone pushed her for real, she’s not imagining it!
She fell into the lake with a loud splatter, and Monica’s face came to view.
She looks as blank as usual as she stared at the lake, watching Ava drown.
Ava on the other hand didn’t even bother to swim to survive. She surrendered herself and closed her eyes as she drowned.
Her head snapped, and she had a remembrance of something.
The young her is sitting in a dark room with young Grayson, both backing the wall, and her head is on his shoulder.
She kept inhaling his scent like she’s addicted.
“You might inhale me completely at this rate” he said.
“I just love your scent. What’s it called?” She asked in her tiny voice.
“Rose” he replied, and she faced him.
“I’ll always remember you with that…” She said.
“How?”
“I can draw a rose tattoo when I grow up…on my left thigh” she replied, tapping the thigh, and he smiled interestingly.
Ava’s eyes flew open in the water immediately she had that remembrance, and she began struggling to swim out of the lake.
Meanwhile, Monica is still standing beside the lake, staring soullessly at it.
She eventually turned to leave, and her eyes widened when she saw Grayson running towards her.
She stepped back fearfully..
“Where’s Ava?” He questioned impatiently, and before she could talk, he heard movements in the lake.
He faced it looking so terrified, and immediately he figured out what’s going on, his monsters unleashed, reflecting in his livid eyes.
He got a gun out of his back pocket and shot Monica on the arm.
“Ohhhh!!!!” Monica cried out, falling on her knees while holding the arm as she bled out.
Gray jumped into the lake instantly.
His eyes found Ava very fast, she’s already unconscious and her body is sinking.
His adrenaline boomed, and he swam quickly to her.
He easily pulled her to himself underwater, and without waiting, he placed his lips on hers.
He forcefully parted her tight lips with his tongue, giving him space to blow substantial air into her mouth.
‘Breathe, Ava. FuΓ§king breath’
