⚠️

It's really hot today. I took my sword and swung it up and down correcting my stance. Sweat dripping down my face.

"Andrew!" I looked behind it was that troublemaker, Julia.

"Hey come and help me with these clothes Andrew, it's too heavy!" She called out to me.

"You only know to call my name when you need help huh?" I kept my sword in the sheath and walked towards her.

"Aww I am not like that" She said patting, more like slapping on my back.

Whatever....

I helped her carry the wooden bucket and moved it to the drying lawn. Placing the the bucket down she held my shirt.

"Can you also help in drying the clothes." She looked me with puppy eyes.

"Eww that's so disgusting. Yea well whatever." She smacked my head.

Ouch!

"Tch, doesn't even understand." Then she took the cloth and started hanging them on the rope. I helped her.

"Hey do you do some special training or what, I thought my head got opened into half!"

She chuckled.

"Whatever, I should have smacked you more strongly" she came to me with her hand raised.

I backed off, "No Juli that's not what I said -" and suddenly I stepped on a cloth and slipped down banging my head on the bucket.

"Ouch.."

"Hey Andrew..... Are you...... Alrig-"

I couldn't hear Julia's voice anymore. I fell into a pitch black space.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Cathy you should also try other things, not only iced americano"

"Yea, Shon just shut that trap I am gonna take my baby."

As usual Catherine and I are arguing to choose which drink.

The cashier was a bit weird,

not being racist but he had white hair and red Ruby like eyes!

"Also can you wrap that strawberry sandwich" Catherine stopped the guy before billing.

"But weren't you going to start your diet-" she stomped on my shoes.

"Regular, I see as usual" the cashier said.

"Mm sorry, but aren't you new here?" Cathy asked him.

He smiled and gave us the bill.

"Thank you for the purchase, hope you safely reach your home"

Woah that was weird.

"Sure I will" she said and we left the cafe, before leaving I looked behind.

That guy, I have a weird feeling about him.

As I closed the door, we met an old man sitting near brich tree.

Catherine stopped in front of him.

"Cathy? What happened?" I asked her.

"Huh? What? Nothing just" she gave the sandwich to the old man.

"Here sir" the old man took the sandwich and looked at it.

"Let's go Shon" as we walked a little.

"This time you will be happy my dear." The old man said that and ate the sandwich.

She smiled, "I hope"

As she took her phone from the side bag, she was shocked.

"S-shon am I seeing things?!" And pinched my hand she took out two concert tickets.

"What is this dream!" She started jumping up down like rubber ball.

"Hey Kmaniac cool down, let's see if it's real or not." After checking it we came to a conclusion.

"Fuck this is real!"

She was overjoyed. "Let's go to concert hall yahooo!"

We hurriedly took a taxi and rode to the venue.

As we reached there, the rush was no joke. Damn!

Cathy walked to the counter and gave the tickets and after collecting it she ran to buy merch of EXO.

We entered the hall, but why is it that I don't remember from now

"You will eventually." A guy in hoody held my hand. If I am not wrong,

"Aren't you the cashier of time cafe?"

His red eyes shone brighter with a grin on his face. "You may too live a happy life rather than dying."

Then suddenly the crowed

started murmuring and shouting.

The guy left.

I couldn't see him anywhere.

"Someone has fainted and it seems she is not breathing." I ran forward, to my

surprise Cathy had fallen. I carried her in my arm an ran out of the hall.

The ambulance was already there as someone had called it.

We rode to hospital.

The hospital staff started giving her CPR.

I was breathing heavily, Cathy please.

We reached the hospital, they

transferred her to bed and took her to the doctor.

"Please wait outside sir." The nurse told me.

"

"Please sir, be seated."

"They put me on a seat and pleaded me not to raise voice.

How could I not, I am worried about her!

After waiting for like 20 minutes the doctor came outside.

"I am sorry, we tried our best." and patted me on my back.

I didn't realise when my tears rolled down. I can't believe this!

I ran to doctor and clutched his collar.

"What Do You Mean She Is Dead Huh?

What do you mean sorry HUH?!"

The nurse and others came to separate us.

""

"It's alright I am here, don't worry."

I looked behind.

"Julia, Ca-cathy she! (Sniff) (sniff)" she hugged me and patted on my back.

After cooling down we left the hospital to get some food.

We went to a convience store. Juli went inside and I stood out.

I still can't believe what just happened!

No it's not true she how?

I felt hot near my cheeks. Sniffing I tried too cool myself down.

First it was him and now Cathy too!?

I don't seem to be rational damn.

Just why is this happening to me? Why am I left alone?

Is it because of that old man or that weird cashier.

"Should I just die?" Suddenly someone smacked my head.

"You stupid are you so coward to leave this world!!"

Julia came carrying the food, her eyes filled.

"Did you only lost someone!? What am I here for?"

She hit me slowly on my arm.

"I am sorry Juli" I held her hand. Yes what was I even thinking? I should not give up this fast.

A group of boys walked in front of us.

"Hey I heard someone died during a concert, it was a girl, what was her name? Something Catherine."

"Hey wasn't she your ex Noah? aah how can she die, she was so beautiful"

"Whatever she was my ex though but what's the use I thought to call her for a fling tonight, too bad"

They all laughed.

"Hey Noah!" I stormed towards him and punched him on the face.

"You piece of shit how dare you talk like that about her!?"

"So what, didn't you like her too. Because of you I think she broke up with me. Hey but did she tasted good in bed? Haha" They all started laughing.

"You mother fucker!!!!" I launched to him and pushed him down.

Punched his face until blood splattered.

The other guys came started jabbing me and kicked me on the road.

"You asshole who do you think of yourself huh!?" Noah started kicking me once he got up.

"Hey what's going on there?"

"Shoot it's police. Run!" The guys ran leaving me there, feeling totally defeated.

"Shon!! Are you okay?" Julia came her eyes filled with tears.

"I was the worst friend for those two weren't I" as I smiled for last time, I closed my eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes. Gasped. "Andrew are you alright?" Julia. I held her face and hugged her.

"Hey Andrew what are you doing?"

"I am sorry Juli" I held her crying. Now it's not the time.

I should meet Cathy. I broke free the hug, "Juli I need to meet Miss Catherine." And left the house with my horse, Louise.
