PROLOGUE

Silence enveloped us in times when darkness can only be seen from above. Fortunately, the moon and the stars have come to serve as a light.I felt the very cold breeze so I just caressed both my arms. The man beside me looked at me a bit as if he could also feel the cold breeze.“Why are you looking at me like that,” I laughed as I said.He did not speak and he just remained silent as if he only had in his brain the words he wanted to say to me.As a result of his action, I calmed down and paid close attention to the moon. I no longer bothered to ask.A few minutes later, as I was just staring at the moon, I heard the voice I had been waiting for to speak.“What am I going to do without you?” he suddenly asked the reason why my eyebrows met.“I’m not going to leave your side, unless I die or be killed,” I jokingly told him, but he didn’t seem to like it.“Nobody will do that

CHAPTER ONE: MENTAL

"Lilith, I am very sorry if I have to take you here. I know this place doesn't fit you. After the traumatic experience you had because of what happened, I had no choice, but to put you here in a mental hospital. Edward called me and he said that I have nothing to worry about the expenses. But the thing that your ex-boyfriend once was here makes me feel guilty—"She's about to finish what she was trying to say when I stopped her. I smiled bitterly as if I'm really okay of her decision. I understand that she needs to bring me here and make me stay in this kind of place because she has a own life that she needs to focus on.Me and Lia, my sister has no family. Our parents died when we were just young and we managed to take care of ourselves. That is why I really understand her decision, even though this place has a lot of memories I wish I could just bury."Hello, Lia and Lilith, it's been a long time."I looked at the man who talked behind us and when

CHAPTER TWO: A MYSTERY

I was just following Edward's footsteps because he told me that he will introduce me to the nurses and other employees that works here. I don't know his intention, but I just let him do this kind of thing to me. "It's for the best, right?" I silently told myself. I made sure that Edward's will never hear or will ever never have to know what's on my mind. "Jose, this is Lilith, our new patient." A man holding a mop stopped in front of us when Edward called his name. He has this big body that makes him look scary. "Lilith? I think I know her. Have I seen you before?" He moved forward to me and looked me from my feet up to my head. I didn't speak and I didn't say any words. I just kept on silent and I hid myself in Edward's back. I felt like he's humiliating me without him even knowing. I hate the way he stares at me. It feels like he was always about to touch every inch of my body. "I'm

CHAPTER THREE: MARIA

I woke up laying on my new bed. I can't believe that I really fell as sleep knowing that I'm alone and Lia is not on my side. There was no sun that touch my skin like I used to feel whenever I am waking up in the morning. There are no windows here and it feels strange for me because whenever I wake up in the morning, the first thing that I'm going to do is to let myself feel the cold breeze that slowly touching my skin. It makes me calm and make my mind feel the peace. "I miss you," I murmured. I suddenly felt the sadness. I touched my cheek and I started to feel the hands I missed. The softness and the way he caressed me before, it's way different to the point I forgot how it feels to be touched by other people too. My eyes started to tear as if the rain started to pour up to my head down to my feet. "How could you leave me all alone?" I bit my lower lip and I really find it hard t

CHAPTER FIVE: A NIGHTMARE

The night had come again. After the moment I've spent with Maria, I learned a lot of things. She was a nosy person and she really helped me doing things I didn't know. Edward fetched me and led me to my room. He brought me foods and waited for me to finish eating before leaving me all alone again. I hate this kind of feeling where I felt nothing, but the fear that memories will come back again as the darkness envelopes the light. I hate to rethink every moment I had with him. It's tearing me apart to the point that I couldn't get myself up anymore."Why do you have to leave me all of a sudden? You promised me that you'll never leave despite of your condition," I asked by the wind, hoping it will reach him and I will finally get an answer. It is really hard to pretend that everything is just okay when the truth is, I couldn't even take a breath anymore. *FLASHBACK*"I wish you all the best that this lif
