I woke up, still in Ethan’s arms; my face was up against his chest. I slowly moved up, Ethan noticed this, he let go of me. I got up and walked over to the dapur table. Why was I in Ethan’s arms? But then I remembered. ‘Adam.......he’s dead’ Dawns words came to my head. I nearly fell down again, but arms caught me. “Whoa....come on” Ethan berkata pulling me back to the couch. I was now sitting on the couch, Ethan sat beside me. “How did he....?” I asked. I sounded angry but I wasn’t I just couldn’t feel anything else. “We don’t know” Ethan answered me. He was trying and helping all he could be somehow that wasn’t enough. “I need to talk to Remi” I said, I looked up at him, he wasn’t angry atau upset, he just nodded and stood up. He went upstairs, I wondered where but that really didn’t matter to me, Adam was dead. Tears started to go down my face, I didn’t want to wipe them away, and they were the only thing that made sense to me. I buried my face in my hands. But then I heard someone selanjutnya to me. I looked up and saw Remi. He didn’t look like he had been crying. “Hi” He said, he didn’t look like he wasn’t crying but he sounded like it. “Hey, what are anda doing here?” I said. He smiled and wiped a tear off my face. “Once I heard I came here to check on anda but Ethan berkata anda were sleeping” He said, I nodded. “What happened?’ I asked. He took a deep breath. “I don’t know” He said. “This had never happened, gods are immortal” he said. I had forgotten about the fact that we don’t die. I looked at Remi. “He’s not dead” I said, I looked at his face it was full of confusion. “What?” he asked. “Think about it, they didn’t find a body” I said. This offended him. “So anda want them to find the body of my dead brother” he berkata this with anger. I thought I had crossed a line but this still made sense to me. “Yeah, wouldn’t it make anda feel better?” I said. He didn’t look angry when I berkata this but he got up. “No I can’t say it would” he berkata darkly and then he was gone.

I woke up on the couch. I must have fallen asleep after talking to Remi. Ethan was sitting beside; my feet were resting on his crossed legs. “What time is it?” I asked him. He looked surprised, and then he looked at his watch. “Midnight” he answered me. I got up and looked him closer. “Have anda slept?” I asked. As I berkata this he rubbed his eyes. “No not really” He answered me. “Go sleep” I berkata as I tried to push him off the couch. “NO, I need to take care of you” He said. I smiled and helped him get back on the couch. When he was up, I put my hand on his cheek. “Thank you” I thanked him, as I got up. “Where are anda going?’ he asked, I looked at him and smiled. “I smell I need a shower” I berkata smelling my hair. He laughed and then sprung to his feet. “Yeah I’ve noticed” he teased, I poked my tongue out, I tried to laugh but nothing came out. When I was in the shower, I noticed there was something different, I moved the curtain to find dozens of purple candles, this was obviously Gloria’s doing, she did like purple. I got out and walked into my room, in here nothing had changed the blankets were still messed up and my pendant was right were Gloria had left it, but this made me feel worse. I walked over and sat on my bed.

I slowly walked down the stairs, everyone was obviously asleep. I walked into the dapur and opened the fridge door. Behind me I heard footsteps; I turned and saw Ethan setting the table. “What are anda doing?” I asked. He smiled and then continued to put the plates down; I saw that there were to plates. “I’m making anda dinner” he informed me. I smiled. “You can’t make ice” I accused him. He smiled and nodded his head. “True but I do know how to make cheese on toast” he teased; he came over and led me to the table. I was starting forget about what had happened and even though that would be terrible there was no way I could stop it from happening. He came over and put to piece of roti it front of me with bright yellow cheese. “Enjoy” he berkata getting a pisang from the buah-buahan basket. “What are anda doing” I asked staring at his banana. “If anda think I’m going to eat my own food, you’re dead wrong” he said, taking a bite out of his banana.

The selanjutnya hari I didn’t go to school. I was sitting on the dipan, sofa when I saw Dawn come down the stairs. She had been hiding in her room for two days, that’ how long it had been. I got up and walked over to her, she had Frozen once she saw me sitting on the couch. I walked over and gave her a hug; she didn’t put her hands around me atau even bend she just stood there stiff. I let go of her, she looked like she had saw a murder, and that thought lead me to a question. “What did anda see?” I asked this was too soon. “I don’t think I can tell you” She answered. The truth is I didn’t care what is, I just wanted to know. “Tell me, please” I begged. Before I could say anything more, I felt a strong hand on my arm, it was Ethan. “I think anda should leave it, foe her sake” He berkata nodding his head at Dawn. What he berkata had made sense, I turned to Dawn and saw her face, it was full of worry, and her face was pale. I looked back at Ethan and nodded. He let go of my arm with me even asking, I pushed my way passed Dawn and went up to my room.

I lay on my tempat tidur and think, Adam runs past my mind, I can’t believe how rude I was to Remi after his brother had just died. I put my bantal over my face. But the truth was I didn’t think Adam was dead, as crazy as it does sound, he always did like to get away, so maybe he finally did. atau maybe he was dead and I was just wishful thinking. I looked over to my pendant, it was still red, and I picked it up. I stared at it. I heard a knock at the door; I dropped my pendant and got up. I walked down the stairs and saw Remi, his eyes were red like he had been crying, and he wasn’t here with good news. I walked over to the door, Remi looked at me and tried to smile, but nothing came out. Ethan looked at me and started to walk back to the kitchen. “What is it?” I asked. I looked at his red eyes. “They found a body” The words shock my body as he berkata this. I grabbed onto the wall. I looked up at him. He was trying to help me up, but I wanted to stay down. “Where was he...his body found?” I asked. The words struggled as they came out. “A pond” He said. I remembered the pond, no our pond. I looked at him, as much as I wanted to cry something good did come out of this. “So do they know what happened?” I asked. His face didn’t change it stayed hard, like he was topping himself from laughing atau crying. “No, no one will ever know” he said. Now nothing came good out of this, Adam was dead, but then I thought there was someone who knew, Dawn.

I lay on my bed, not knowing what to do, Ethan sit at the end of my tempat tidur he has been like this since Adam dies, part of me thought it was guilt but the rests remains thinking that this is who Ethan really is. I get up and sit, Ethan looks up at me and smiles. “What?” He asked. I look at him and return the smile. “Nothing....I just don’t get you” I said. His wide smile stopped. “What do anda mean?’ he asked. He knew what I meant. “You.....helping me with everything” I accused him. His face went into a sulking face. “I have to.....the first night after.........you started to scream and cry in your sleep....I couldn’t handle it” He said. His head lowered, he was embarrassed but I didn’t understand what about. I pindah closer and pulled his head up with my hand. “Thank you” I said. His face went into a wide smile, and the best thing about it was it wasn’t smug.

I woke up, Ethan wasn’t here. This made me feel a little unsafe, like no one was there so watch me. But I had to get used to it, Ethan wasn’t going to be there forever. “Yes, I am” I heard Ethan say as he walked in my room. I looked at him and couldn’t help smiling. “Stop membaca my mind” I said. But I wasn’t angry. “I’m not....well I am but when anda think about me I fell it and I can’t help but to be interested” He said. I smiled at this two, and he did make a point if I could read his mind I would. “But how come I can’t read yours?” I asked. He smiled and moved closer to my bed, he sat down right selanjutnya to me. He came close so he could whisper something in my ear. “Because I Won’t let you” he berkata getting up and leaving the room.

I walked down the stairs and saw Dawn, she looked a lot better, her eyes were back to their normal colour and so was her skin. I walked down and sat on the couch, Ethan smiled as he saw how I had ignored him. “Hey there” Gloria said, coming and sitting selanjutnya to me. “Hi” I berkata cheerfully. She dropped her smile and put a block of her silky purple hair behind her ear, I didn’t know what she was doing. I turned and saw Ethan laughing under his breath. “What?’ I berkata looking at him. He looked up once I berkata this and giggled some more. “She wants to give anda a makeover” He answered me. How did he know this? I asked myself, did they have a connection? I looked and saw Ethan looking at me; he was shaking his head like he was answering my thoughts. I looked down and smiled as much as it made me angry but I was thankful that he could only read my mind. But that did make me wonder how he knew what Gloria wanted to do. But then again it was Gloria. I turned to her she was still curling her hair with her tan fingers. “Please” She begged. I shook my head. She gave me a sad look, I notice Dawn laughing at Gloria and me. It felt a lot better when Dawn laughed; a few days yang lalu I thought I would never see that girlish smile again. I turned back to Gloria, she was still smiling at me with begging eyes, for a detik I thought I might have mercy on her but then something made me look at her purple hair. I shook my head, there was no way I was going any other colour then my light brown. I didn’t expect her to be mad and I was right to she just turned her head to Ethan, she smiled. I could tell oleh his expression he was shocked to. “No way” He said, I could tell he wasn’t membaca her mind anda wouldn’t have to with Gloria. I heard laughter, I turned and saw Liz and Thor they holding hands, they walked in, Liz had her always happy smile on but Thor had a smile he only had when Liz was around. She let go of his hand he sat selanjutnya to me. “How’s it going Sade?” She asked me. For a slight detik I didn’t know what she meant until I felt a pound in my chest. No one noticed this but Ethan I turned and saw him; he looked like he had felt it to. “Great” I answered, a sign of relief ran through Ethan. She smiled; I saw Thor’s face it looked worried, Liz was always out of the loop with things like this. I turned my head back to her, even though I had berkata I was ok, she didn’t look convinced. And part of me wasn’t convinced either.

Later on that night, when I was sitting on my bed, I saw my pendant just sitting there. After Adam died Gloria decided not to bring it up, but I had to bring it up after all Adam was dead and I was starting to get over that. For a detik I ran those words through my head, it only had been a few days, but then again I don’t think I should be the one grieving, I did ciuman Ethan. I grabbed the pendant; I closed my eyes like I always did, but this time I didn’t see the girl wondering the streets, I saw Adam. I wanted to open my eyes but I told myself I needed to watch. He is sitting near a pond but this time the water in the pond is red. I opened my eyes and started to breathe again. I nearly screamed, but I didn’t have enough breathe to. I heard my door open, I turned and saw Ethan, and he was breathing just as heavy as I was. He came closer and sat on my bed. “What is it what did anda see?” He asked putting his hand on my cheek. I looked at him for a moment. “Adam” I answered him. His face turned from concerned to apologetic. “I’m sorry that must have been hard” He berkata letting his hand slip of my cheek. “Why would Adam be on pendant?” I asked, he took the pendant from my hand and smiled looking at it. “Sometimes it can mean your head is confused and other times...it can mean lebih than that. But there’s nothing to worry about” he assured me. I nodded and smiled. “What time is it?” I asked he looked around expecting to see a clock. “I don’t know I think around 8” He berkata smiling. He put his hand on my cheek and smiled. “Tomorrow, are anda ready to go to school?” He asked. I thought about it and nodded, no one even knew me and Adam were together so there would is no need to worry.
