As I approach the fountain I noticed two figures in the distance. Who could it be this late at night? I thought as I slowly creep upon them, as I came closer I could hear soft whimpering. Is someone crying? I then noticed it was Jessica! The whimpering sounds are coming from her! What is she doing here? And who is that with her?

Chapter 6: A Glimpse Through the Smoke A full week had passed since that night—the night that should’ve been just a release, a fleeting escape from pressure and expectation.
