Six: KYLE
"I'm not going home with you, Dad." I say.
I don't want to leave yet, not until I finally talked to Raina.
I can't believe Dad come all the way here just because he was worried. A colleague of him saw us on the ambulance rescue last night as they patrol in the area. My phone's dead because it got wet so I didn't know he was calling me. He called Hue and Allen too but they're just too occupied of what's happening too.
"I don't wanna be the anti-hero here, Kyle! But you acted so stupid! You could've drowned there for God's sake!!" Dad said furiously. The three of us are just bowing our heads, arms at the back as though we are being scolded in the military.

I can't fall asleep. I kept thinking about Raina who's in the guest room. I got her call earlier when I checked Allen's phone, hoping she would call. And in my surprise, she really did. I had a strong feeling that it was her when I answered it. Then when she asked for help, Allen and I rushed to her. But as soon as we got there, we found her so drunk.The most thing that bothers me right now is that her neighbor called her Catherine."Catherine, do you know them?" the lady next door asked Raina."Catherine?"

I never knew how relieving it feels like after letting go of the loads I've been carrying for so long. But I still beat myself up for trusting and believing in him, I'm afraid that I might regret it. I locked myself up in his room to think more. There are so many paintings on the wall, just like that house by the beach. I wonder if he painted all of them, it's really impressive. It reminds me of my Dad because he used to paint too. He loves to paint different types of fish, mostly Koi fish. It's his favorite because of the Chinese Tale his Mother used to tell him when he was young.I can hear them talking downstairs. I wondered if those people are really reliable, but I do hope they can help me, because this is my first time trusting my judgements in people. I guess I'm done playing hide and seek.I finally went out of the room and go down. They had a dazed look on their faces the moment they saw me."Oh, hi, again."

I asked her why but it seems like the terror sealed her throat, so I just took her phone, and shocked with what I saw."He's here." she said with shuddered breathing.

I woke up by the sunlight as it hits my face. I sit up and look around, Kyle and Hue is still sleeping. I wonder where Raina is. I remember how anxious she is last night, while waiting for Ginger and Kyle talking outside."Are you okay? You just passed out." I said to her."I'm fine." she answered. "Thank you, Allen, for helping me." she said. My heart started pounding wildly and my ears are burning as I can feel it turning red. I guess it's because I'm overwhelmed with the fact that I was able to help her.But as we wait, I can't help but stare at her without being noticed. I realized that she's crazy beautiful.
