∆ Margot's p.o.v ∆

•The adrenaline was the one acting when I asked Adalyn to stay a little more. It's not that I regret it, it's just that it surprises me. Never in a million years I would've acted like this, but it seemed that she showed me a side of myself I didn't know yet. A confident and decision-making person.•

"Don't you find it hilarious?"

"What?" I asked out of curiosity

"The fact that we barely know each other and still decided to be late; again only to get to know each other more."

"I'll have to admit this is some kind of gold comedy right here." I said sarcastically

"Agreed!" She said laughing

"So about what you asked..."

"Oh yeah I almost got distracted and forgot.'

" Something horrendous happened two years ago, I was only 16 at the time and didn't know what I was doing. I acted without taking into into consideration the consequences. After this, I disappeared and never came back. The last thing I want is to go to Seattle to confront my family about it. It was all my fault and I get it but I feel like they are just going make it worst."

"Well I guess we are both stuck in situations we would've prefered to avoid"

"So are you not going to ask?" I asked confused

"Ask what?"

"What was the incident?"

"I was going to..."

"And...?"

"The way you said it made me think you would've prefered to keep it to yourself and not share it." She said while raising her shoulders

"You really are peculiar!" I said while giggling

"Why is that?" She asked teasingly

"You respect people and their private life which is a quality many people lack." I said before rolling my eyes

"Trust me I know that for a fact!"

"You are an incredible person Adalyn."

"Thank you so much." She said while blushing

"What happened that time is indescribable, it was horrific and if I wasn't being childish... My sister would still be alive" I said before turning to Adalyn and seeing her eyes wide opened. After the realisation that I said this without even thinking, I was shocked too.

•After a couple minutes of silence, I decided to explain what I meant exactly•

"I'm sorry this is not what I meant... Not exactly!"

"If you could please clarify things I think it would beneficial for the both of us." She said while smiling

•I took a deep breath before telling her the entire story,I was 16 and just wanted to somehow experience new things. I got incredibly drunk and refused to come back to my house. It was at least 3am and the only person worrying about where I was, was my sister. Her name was Liliane, she was 19 at the time and instead of leaving me to die slowly alone, she risked her life and rushed to come pick me up. I kept hanging up whenever she was calling, I knew she was near since I saw her car.•

• Being the idiot I was, I hid in some bushes and then suddenly I heard a loud noise, almost like a crash. I fell onto my back due to the shock of the piercing sound. I got up barely able to have a minimum of balance. I approached the car and I saw something I will never forget.

Her head had collided with the steering wheel, the window had shattered and looked like cheap diamonds dispersed all around the area. In between those pieces of glass were pools of blood, the horrifying view made me speechless as I felt tears stream down my face almost like a river.•

• I had lost all hope of her being alive but I didn't give up, I grabbed my phone and called an ambulance. My voice was shaky and I was trembling like a leaf but the worst is that I couldn't do anything. I sat there, next to her body and cried. When the ambulance arrived, they took me away from her and asked if I was okay, in the distance was a man, carrying Liliane out of the car and when I saw that he was shaking his head as a sign of disbelief, I couldn't hold it in anymore, I screamed and wished I was the one who died. To this day,  I still wish that I could have been the one who suffered instead of her.•

•The sun had already risen at this point so I went directly to my house, when I entered I saw none other than my parents crying in agony asking why their little daughter died. I knew I was the one to blame so I quickly went upstairs in my bedroom and packed all my stuff. I grabbed all the money I had and simply wrote on a piece of paper 'I am sorry, it was my fault' and swiftly climbed out of my window and started running towards the nearest train train station and disappeared.•

•My parents didn't say a single thing and let me go on my own. I could tell they hated me more than anything. After some time they tried to contact me by telling me they didn't want to loose both of their daughters but I knew that I was not that big of a loss to them. Liliane was everything I was not, studious, loving, talented just perfect! Oh how much I wish it was me that ni-•

•Before I could even say anything else, Adalyn hugged me. Honestly it was everything I needed, especially right now. During this heartwarming hug, I could feel a tear roll down my cheek while Adalyn was whispering that it was okay and that it was not my fault. She looked at me and smiled. She then proceeded to ask if I wanted to go the nearby cafe which formed part of the station to calm down the atmosphere. I gladly agreed and off we were to enjoy a hot drink due to the freezing weather. We were silent and just enjoyed the coffee. I hadn't told anyone the entire story apart from Julian and Adalyn but something about her was comforting, it's like I could tell her everything without having to fear about judgement or denial. She is special; really special•
