" Please don't freak out, Em. I will explain it. Don't tell anyone." Pearl pleaded with fear in her eyes.  " Say it now. Why there's a gun here? I'm still freaking out." I lowered my voice this time.  " This is a real gun. We are supposed to bring one duplicate gun for the play. You have probably seen it in the play. The main female character tried to use it for self-defence but didn't pull the trigger." " So, are you saying that she used a real gun in a school play?"  " Yeah. She bought them here. But something wrong happened in her house. The real ones and duplicate got switched and then we couldn't tell the teachers at the last moment. So, we carefully used it. I'm just keeping it until she comes back and takes it with her." Pearl explained. " You got to be kidding me, Pearl. You all should have told the teachers. It's not safe to have a gun in school.

A week passed by after all the chaos. Patrick was taken to the hospital. He lost more blood and I'm the one who caused it. I wouldn't have done it if he didn't point the gun at Ryder. If Patrick tried to kill me, I would have stood like a statue in fear but it's not me. It's Ryder. I couldn't do that. My hands moved to take the gun within a fraction of second. I can't wonder what would have happened if I didn't shot him. Maybe it's time to get over that incident. The police officers encountered me at the station. But Ryder was with me the whole time. My parents are called to the station. Somehow the news was gone to Jason's ears too. He came to the station for me. Ryder and I told about Patrick's psychotic activity. At last, they filed a case against him and he went straight to jail for all the things he tried to do. Of course, there are a lot of proofs. Patrick almost tried to kill all other students. So, they all stood up for me. It took a week f

I embraced this moment with Jason but I know there will be more memories with him for the rest of my life." Are you calm now, Jason. I don't want you to hide your emotions in front of me." I worried." I can't say I'm a hundred per cent happy, Milly. But you are still in my life. That's the important thing for me. Months ago, you drowned. I can't take the scene out of my mind. This thing is far better than that. You could have died that day and it didn't happen. I'm grateful for it every day."" You are the one who saved me, Jason. I could never forget that. I feel like I don't deserve it." I frowned. He saved my life but what did I do for him." You deserve it, Milly. If we never met, I would have never felt true love. You helped me with Crystal's stupid games. I would have caught in it forever without an idea about it. You took the risk to delete our footages. Overall, you are the best thing that happened to me. All the time I have spent with you is pr
