We stood in the shared wreckage of that for a moment, not touching, not looking away. "Saturday," I said finally. "Saturday," she agreed. I left before either of us said something we'd have to know what to do with.

And we climbed into our car and headed for the meeting that could make us or break us forever. And I didn’t know which one it would be.

How did they know that we had found the driver? How did they know he had confessed? How did they know exactly when to act? Because this wasn’t timing. This wasn’t coincidence. This was precision. They acted before we could act. Which means… They knew what we were about to do before we did it. I sat up slowly, my expression tightening. “No…” I whispered. But the thought didn’t go away. It only got clearer. Stronger. “There’s no way they guessed all that.” I shook my head. Impossible.

Now that I looked back, Ryan probably placed her there to monitor me. When I didn't respond, Sarah assumed I was too heartbroken to speak, and she stepped forward to say, "Jenna, don't overthink things. If Ryan knew, he would definitely feel terrible." Feel terrible? How ironic. Following the clues from the divine messages, I found Rowena's social media account. Only then did I learn that they had known each other even before Ryan and I got together. They had gone on countless dates behind my back. If not for the divine messages' warning, I wouldn't have even known Rowena existed.

Held our breath. The doctor looked at us. His expression was unreadable. And in that moment before he spoke, I knew. I knew everything was about to change.

The room felt too still. Too quiet. “What child?” The words echoed in his mind, refusing to settle. He moved slowly toward the desk, resting his hands against its edge as he tried to piece together something that refused to make sense. He had known. He was certain of that. Aira had been pregnant before she left. That wasn’t something he imagined. It wasn’t something he misunderstood. It was fact. So what happened after? His memory shifted. Fragmented. There had been something. A message.

She didn’t know the consequences that came with this arrival. Though they were unaware of our hands and my feet being free, the two of us stayed completely still, not wanting them to find out just yet. Things needed to take time, however this time was not on our side, we needed to work fast. It was the night where everything was going to end. Otherwise it was as though going to end.

What we didn’t know was what was in store for Shaw and Kyson. We are not really looking forward to tonight. We last saw everyone a week ago whilst signing off. No one knew where to look. They couldn’t even look directly at us, not sure if we knew what had gone down that night, we should’ve known better, I should’ve known better. We should’ve known those idiots were up to no good. They couldn’t even look us in the eyes as we entered the high school one last time and into the hall to get our results and sign off.

Me and Vicky left the house, walking down the street to the store which was nearby so we chose to walk. We walked in silence not knowing what to talk about. We reached the store and bought the medication and started to make our way back to Ezhil's house. "Sona" Vicky spoke. "Yes" I replied now looking at him. "What's going to happen now?" he asked with a tired tone. I looked down and sighed, "I don't know" I muttered.

And though I didn’t know what it was yet, I could feel it. Something was about to change, and none of us were prepared for it.
