Three: KYLE

I look down from the bridge and waited for her to come through the surface. I wait and wait, but she doesn't seem to emerge from the water. The cold wind started to blew a mizzle of rain over us. I cross over the edge, planning to jump and save her. There's another way down to the bridge but It'll take much time.

"NO!!! KYLE, STOP!" Allen shouted, as he and Hue run towards me.

"I HAVE TO SAVE HER!! CALL AN AMBULANCE, HUE!"

"I SAID NO, KYLE! THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS! You both could die!" Allen gripped on my arms.

"Or survive, Allen! Do you want her to end up like your brother? We have to save her!" He looked at me in the eye and slowly released my arms. I can see that he's frantic, but we don't have any choice. I'm the only one who's capable of doing this. Allen can't swim and Hue is drunk.

"Call an ambulance!" I said before I jumped off. I'm frightened too. I don't want to die yet, but I'll feel responsible if I didn't do something. I just thought that if I didn't die from that car accident, then I'm not gonna die tonight. Not until I find my real identity.

I saw her instantly when I got under the water. I don't know if she's not breathing anymore or she just chose not to struggle. I swam towards her immediately, hoping I wasn't too late. The moment I touched her hand, I felt a sudden pressure on my chest. It hurts. I pulled her upwards while all I think about is air, desperately. I'm getting weak but I still gave all my strength. I won't allow any one of us die tonight. When we finally reached the surface. I, at once, gasp for an air. But the girl seemed not breathing anymore. I kept paddling with only my right hand, and pulling her shirt with my left until we get to the shore and prepared to give her a CPR. But when I saw her face, I was stunned.

I can't believe this is happening right now. It's impossible. I was unable to speak and react. I'm just staring at her, not doing anything to save her. My heart is racing like it's going to stop any second. It really hurts.

This isn't happening.

This is not real.

"Kyle! Kyle!" Allen called while running towards me. When he saw the girl, he fell down from shock and got confused for a moment. Then he stood up and grabbed my collar aggresively.

"Kyle, look at me!" I can hear him clearly, but my mind is foggy. I can't focus. I can't process what I'm seeing right now. There's ringing in my ears and it's making me more confuse.

Am I hallucinating again? Is this an another detachment episode?

"KYLE! Kyle It's real, this is real Kyle. You're not hallucinating!" Allen said as if he heard my thoughts.

I can already hear the siren of the ambulance approaching. I realized that this is really happening. But how come this girl, looks exactly like Luna? I came to my senses again and looked at Allen straight in the eye and then look back to the lifeless girl.

"She's not breathing!" I said as I crawl over to her immediately and looked for a pulse on her neck, but I found nothing. I started performing CPR on her. Good thing that I know what I'm going to do. I've learned this years ago from the swimming team. Two blows and thirty pumps, but there's no response. I repeat it twice, still no response. I'm getting weak. Fortunately, the paramedic arrived and ready to take over. But just before the paramedic start perfoming CPR, she finally coughs, gasping for air. And immediately, she was taken to the hospital.

We followed them and check how she's doing. Her Doctor asked us what happened and I told him I saw her drowning and we tried to save her. But I didn't tell him the whole truth, that she intentionally jumped off. Then he praised me for doing a great job on saving her.

I changed my clothes in the car. They really brought my stuffs.

Just when did they get all these?

I put on my black hoodie, I feel like I'm going to have fever again. My throat hurts, I think I've swallowed a lot of sea water.

I stayed in the car for a few minutes, thinking. I'm so nervous, my knees are shaking while I bite my nails. I think of what will happen next. Am I going to find out who I really am, my real name and that she's my sister? I can't believe she's real. Well, I expected she is but, part of me still doubted that fact. But here we are, Luna and I, finally met, in this real world. It feels... surreal.

I go to Luna's room and the three of us, waited for her to wake up.

"Hey.. what are you thinking?" Allen asked. He notice I'm anxious. I'm fidgeting.

"This is real right? I mean, she's real. She's not an effect of hallucination. It means, she's really connected to me."

"We'll find out when she wakes up, don't assume things already." he advised. He's very cautious.

We notice Hue was staring at Luna.

"Hue, what's up?" I asked.

"Kyle, I can't believe this. Now that I'm sober, she really looked like Luna." he said. Allen and I almost laugh.

"You just notice that?" Allen asked.

"No, dude! I mean, in Kyle's painting, Luna has a mole on her left cheek, near her neck. That girl, she has it too!"

Allen and I both looked at Luna, and Hue was right. She really has a mole in that very position. I didn't notice that earlier and it made us wonder even more.

"How is this possible?" Allen said. He finally admitted it, just now, that this is really unexplainable.

"I think she's a ghost!"

"Shut up, Hue!"

"There's no way this is happening!"
