Lahat ng Kabanata ng Never Say Goodbye : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

While Ian was staring at Kim in surprise, Lieutenant Jack walked up to him, held him by his hand, and said, "We need to go.""Ian said, "No, I need to talk to Kim first. Something is wrong with her.""Kim, it's me! Don't you recognize me?" However, the lieutenant pulled him harder, insisting, "Come on, let's go.""Please, just let me clear this out with Kim," Ian begged. "Don't worry, she's not going anywhere," Jack assured him. "Come with me. Right now!" Ian took one last look at Kim and said, "I'll be back, Kim. I promise you, Kim, I'll be back soon.!" Kim stared at him quietly, unable to understand who he was and what he was trying to do.But the fact that someone knew things about herself which she didn't know, piqued her interest. However, it wasn't her decision to make concerning Ian's staying or leaving.As the lieutenant dragged him out of the psychiatric ward, Ian asked him, "What happened to her?" but he didn't say a word in reply.He led Ian into the car, opened the door

Kim sat on her bed in a daze. She remembered how Ian had walked up to her and claimed to know her, but she didn't know who he was! She tried to recall if she had ever seen him before, but nothing came to mind.She laid on her back and closed her eyes, struggling to remember. But the only memory that flashed into her mind was herself in a coffin. It was pitch dark, and as she was about to scream for help, the coffin opened. Suddenly, something was placed over her mouth and nose, and she struggled briefly before losing consciousness.She sat upright instantly, breathing heavily as she recalled the scene. "Was that me?" she asked herself. "How could I have been in a coffin? If it was me, why do I have chains around my hands?" Nothing made sense to her. All she could remember was being in a station where officers asked her questions, and she didn't know how to respond.And then suddenly, she was chained, both her hands and legs, and taken to a room where there were many people like her.

Ian's heart began to race, and he was consumed by fear. Helium kept staring at him, waiting for a reply, but he couldn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. At this point, the boiling-looking man said, "If these are the people you walk with, then you cannot be trusted.""Give me a second," Helium said. "I'll take care of this, I promise." Turning to stare at Ian, he said, "I'll ask you for the very last time, Freddy Bones. Why do you have a camera on you?" Ian stared at him with a terrified expression without saying a word in reply.Helium moved closer to him and began to search his body. He finally touched the camera, which was hidden in the middle of his shirt, and pulled it out. He stared at the camera, threw it on the ground, and destroyed it with his foot."I trusted you, Freddy. Why did you betray me?" Helium asked."I brought it as leverage!" Ian replied."Leverage? Against who?" Helium asked.At this point, Jack, who had overheard everything, said to the men with him, "I

A FEW HOURS EARLIERIan shot helium in his clavicle, instantly causing him to fall on his back. While Helium laid on the ground, he heard officers barging in and bullets flying around. He knew he had met his Waterloo, but he wasn't willing to give up. Despite his bleeding neck, he crawled until he found refuge under one of the cars in the garage.As he laid there, he noticed a disgusting hole in the garage that led to a sewer. He knew the chances of going through there were slim, but it was better than where he was. He considered crawling towards the sewer but realized he would be shot if he tried. So he remained hidden under the car.However, the garage soon caught fire, and the men he was supposed to do business with began to burn. It was at that moment he realized Freddy was working with the cops. Perhaps everything Freddy had told him was a lie.Determined not to let himself die and to get the opportunity to seek revenge against Freddy, he took advantage of the chaos caused by the

Days passed, turning into weeks, and then months. Ian and Kim spent time together. He did his best to care for her, cooking meals, taking her out shopping, to see movies, and engaging in a variety of fun activities they usually enjoyed together before her supposed death. The doctor visited twice a week to aid in her recovery process. Gradually, Kim began to accept this new life. She particularly enjoyed going to concerts with Ian and shopping together. Ian was determined to give her the best life possible.Back home, Ian's father, concerned about his prolonged absence, started tracking his expenses. Despite providing Ian with the money, he grew worried about how it was being spent. He began calling Ian every day. Ian would step out to answer these calls, not wanting Kim to worry about the sacrifices he was making to be with her. He assured his father that he was doing okay, spending time with friends, and trying to move on."You can't keep grieving over this girl forever," his fathe
