“Are you really that happy when you’re with him?” Will asked, his voice laced with a hint of jealousy. “I always see that big smile on your face whenever you’re around him. But you should be careful; history tends to repeat itself. I’m just giving you a friendly warning, my dear childhood friend.”

Cara’s mind raced as she processed Will’s words. “History repeats, sure,” she mused aloud, her voice thoughtful, “but people can change the course of that history depending on the choices they make. And even if the outcome is painful, I’m willing to embrace whatever fate comes my way.” She wasn’t fully sure about the ‘history’ Will was talking about, but his words seemed to weigh heavily on her. Was he implying something about Vince?

Will’s voice softened, and he shifted the topic. “Well, I’m the one who cried at the party,” he said, trying to make her feel the weight of her actions. His words carried a tinge of hurt, causing Cara to feel guilty about abandoning him.

“I’m really sorry, Will,”

    Vince’s eyes snapped open to the sound of his name, his heart pounding in his chest. "Vince!!! Cara!!! Where are you?!!" His mother’s voice echoed through the air, frantic and full of concern. Slowly, his consciousness came back, his mind still clouded from unconsciousness. His body was sore, his mind foggy, but one thing stood clear—he wasn’t alone anymore. His parents were calling out for him.It all came rushing back. Cara. The wild boar. The deep pit. And then... the crushing realization that Cara was still missing. He shot up from the ground, disoriented, and looked around frantically. The voices of his parents reached him, but they were distant, their words muffled in his mind as his own worries overwhelmed him.“Mom, where is Cara?” he gasped, his voice hoarse from the panic rising in his chest. His dad was by his side, helping him up from the pit, his hands rough and strong.“That’s exactly what I was about to ask you,” his mother replied, her tone fraught with fear. “We found

    "Cara and Vince are missing!" Vince’s mom cried out in distress, her voice filled with panic and fear. The room seemed to freeze for a moment, everyone looking to one another, unsure of what to do or how to respond to the situation."I saw them head into the forest," Will explained hesitantly, his words coming out in a rush. He was trying to make sense of what had happened, but the confusion and guilt in his voice were evident. "I went with them at first, but then I got worried. I thought it would be too dangerous for them to go farther, so I turned back. I didn’t warn them, I just left. Maybe I was being cowardly, but I thought I was being careful. I didn’t want to get anyone hurt."Vince’s Dad shot him an accusing look. "Why didn’t you say anything sooner?!" he snapped, the anger in his voice clear. He was upset, and Will understood why, but the blame felt unfair. It wasn’t as if he hadn’t been worried, but there was nothing he could do now. The moment had passed, and all they could

    Cara couldn’t deny the truth anymore. She had every right to know it. She remembered everything now—everything her family and friends had kept from her, even Vince, the one person she thought she trusted the most. The reason she ended up in that accident was because of her own childishness and selfishness, but no one should blame her for it. She was so young back then. However, deep down, she knew everything that happened to Vince’s parents was her fault.What pained her more was that Vince never told her the truth. But she realized that he had amnesia about the accident because he hadn’t remembered the past until Will—his cousin had reminded him as far as I know it. Yet, Vince had never said a word to her about what really happened. This was why she had to lie to everyone, to cover up the real cause of the accident. She couldn’t understand why Vince had stayed silent. Did he think she would just forget everything?She couldn’t stop hating herself for being the reason behind everything

    “You’re going to meet my very first childhood friend,” Vince said, his voice carrying a mix of nostalgia and uncertainty. “I remember her well. She’s the only friend I had before I became your brother.”For the first time, he allowed himself to confront a painful truth—that he had forgotten much of his real childhood, his memories blurred over time. Cara, the childhood friend he spoke of, was an integral part of that past. Yet, he had lost touch with her over the years. And now, with his sister Lizzy back in town, after being abroad for so long, she had become his only bridge to reconnecting with that part of his life.Lizzy, her arms crossed and her brow raised in playful curiosity, couldn’t resist a teasing comment. “At last! I’ve been dying to meet at least one of your friends. So, does she know you’re the son of the school’s director? I mean, I’m the real child of our parents, but you were their first child the moment they adopted you.”Vince couldn’t help but roll his eyes, alread

    Vince’s mind raced as the memories of his past flooded back, like an overwhelming tide. His foster father’s words echoed in his ears: “From now on, I am your dad, and she is your mom. We are your family now. Forget everything bad that happened in your past. Only remember the good memories with your real parents who gave birth to you. It’s the only thing we cannot change for you. You’re only seven years old, but I know you understand what I mean since you’re a smart kid.”At the time, Vince had taken those words to heart, following them blindly, eager to escape the heavy grief that had taken his real parents. His real memories were a constant weight, dragging him deeper into sorrow and guilt, so he buried them, telling himself that starting anew with his adopted family was his only chance at survival. It was easier to pretend the past never existed. But despite the false sense of security his new life gave him, a part of him couldn’t fully let go of the past. There was always that linge

    "Hey, Vinci!" She called out, her voice cutting through the quiet of the cafeteria, and just like that, Vince’s world started to feel like it was turning upside down once again. She always had this uncanny ability to get under his skin. It was the same every day, and it always seemed like she was deliberately trying to annoy him. But for some reason, he found himself walking toward her table anyway, holding his lunch tray in one hand, his gaze falling somewhere near her mischievous face.“From now on, you are not my sister,” he muttered under his breath, but deep down, he knew this was more of a warning than anything else. He wanted to draw a line. He needed to. But as soon as those words left his mouth, he saw something in her eyes—a glimmer of something that he couldn't quite pinpoint. It was like she had been waiting for this moment, this declaration, this final cut in their bond. But why did she look so happy about it? It confused him even more.“Oh, okay. I’ll tell Dad that we’re

    Mrs. Perez sat in a daze, the weight of the truth slowly sinking in. For years, she had held onto the belief that her daughter’s involvement in the tragic accident that took the lives of Vince’s parents was somehow the root cause of the family’s devastating loss. She had convinced herself that Cara’s presence at that moment had caused the chaos and that her responsibility was to protect her daughter from the repercussions. But now, after everything that had unfolded, Mrs. Perez realized the terrible truth—she had been wrong. It wasn’t her daughter’s fault. It wasn’t Cara who had caused the destruction, but Vince’s condition, a bipolar disorder had played a part in the chain of events leading up to the tragedy. She could no longer deny it.Her thoughts drifted back to a conversation she had with Mr. Anderson, Will’s father, years ago. She could still hear the sorrow in his voice as he explained Vince’s diagnosis, the instability that had surrounded Vince’s life, and how it had contribut

    Vince headed straight to the cafeteria, already irritated by his sister’s behavior. She had texted him, telling him she was having lunch with Cara. He had been planning to leave early, but now he felt uneasy. He couldn’t stand the thought of his sister pestering Cara, especially after everything that had happened.As he walked toward them, he could see the two of them talking. Cara was being polite, but there was something about her expression—it was as if she was tolerating his sister's attitude with practiced ease, like she already knew how to handle her.“I knew you’d have trouble making friends with that snotty attitude, my dear sister. My appreciation for Cara for tolerating your type,” Vince blurted out as he approached the table, annoyance evident in his voice."Hey, watch it!" his sister shot back, but Cara understood the jibe clearly. Her calm demeanor didn’t change, but Vince could see a flicker of understanding in her eyes, as though she wasn’t surprised by his outburst."It

    Vince walked toward the corner of the cafeteria, his mind racing. He suddenly remembered the journal he had given Will before leaving for his adoptive parents' home. He stood up and left the table with Cara to confirm some things, his mind still piecing together the thoughts that had surfaced while reminiscing about his time with her.Vince sat down across from Will, ready to bring up the journal, but before he could say anything, Will started speaking with his usual cunning expression. "You really can't get over Cara, can you?" Will said, a sarcastic grin spreading across his face. He knocked Vince lightly on the shoulder, his tone sharper than before. "I thought you remembered those days. What happened? I thought you wanted to protect her, just like I warned you.""You're right. Cara is my medicine, and she’ll always be my support, even after I heal," Vince replied, clearly firing back at Will’s jabs. "But that’s not the real reason I came here. I need to ask you something about the

    “Professor, may I speak with you for a moment?” Vince asked, his voice tinged with unease. His mind was a whirlwind of restless thoughts as he walked toward Cara’s closest friend and most trusted confidante. He felt an overwhelming urge to learn more about Cara—specifically, the fears she had kept buried, the ones she had yet to share with him. His need to understand her was growing, and he hoped that her closest friend could provide insight into the things Cara had yet to reveal. “What’s this about? Is this regarding Cara?” she asked, her tone almost knowing. She motioned for him to follow her toward the counseling room, as though she anticipated his question before he even spoke it. Vince, feeling a mix of apprehension and curiosity, followed her quietly, sensing that whatever she would say would leave him with more questions than answers. Once they were seated in the quiet of the room, Vince didn’t waste any time. He asked, his voice steady but filled with urgency, “Can you tell m

    "I have something to confess," he said, a playful grin tugging at his lips as he sat across from her. The morning sunlight poured through the window, casting a warm, golden glow over the hidden room. He felt a sense of lightness, almost as if a weight had been lifted from him. It was as though he'd been holding onto something for far too long, and now, finally, he was ready to let it go. Today, he was ready to be with Cara without any lingering hesitation."Yeah? Well, you still owe me the full story from the start. I’m curious," she replied, her voice soft but tinged with a hint of playful expectation. She always had that air of innocence about her, the kind that made him want to protect her, but today, he had a feeling she’d be seeing a different side of him.He leaned back against the headboard, his eyes glinting with a mischievous spark. "Do you remember the guy who gave you that iced coffee?" he asked, watching her reaction closely.She smiled, a light laugh escaping her lips as s

    "Mom, I need to tell you something. Vince and I… we like each other. I’m saying this not to ask for your approval, but because I don’t want to lie to you anymore. I’m sorry if you’re disappointed in me, but I’m old enough to make my own decisions. I remembered my past, and Vince and I talked about everything. He understands, even about his parents. I’ve already been punished for my mistakes, and I’ve been forgiven. I don’t want to blame myself for something I wasn’t responsible for, just because I was too young to understand.”She didn’t know if this was the right time to reveal her relationship with Vince to her mom, but her mom’s ears were sharp, and she was too late to stop herself from saying it. Cara’s best friend excused herself and left early, clearly trying to avoid the impending interrogation that she knew would come. She had been helpful, but now Cara was alone with her mother, who was already suspicious of what she had been doing."But I don’t want you to be hurt in the end,

    "Cara, I have an idea for you to get Vince to spend time with you alone and leave him after. I know just the place," Will suggested, his voice filled with a mischievous tone."How do we get there? Do you want to come with us? I’m not sure I can leave Vince alone. He’s my friend, after all," Cara hesitated, her concern for Vince growing."Look over there, see that big cave? If you can get Vince to go there with you, you can play as much as you want. He might even want to be left alone afterward. I won’t be able to come with you, but I can give you directions. You’re a smart girl, I’m sure you’ll find your way back here easily."Will’s plot was clear, and Vince already knew it. At any moment, he anticipated Cara would approach him, unwittingly carrying out Will’s deceitful plan. He quickly turned away, hoping to remain unseen as he overheard their conversation.Minutes later, Cara’s light footsteps echoed through the space, and she came running toward him, wearing her cute little sandals

    “I don’t want this to end,” she whispered in her mind as Vince paused for a moment. But before she could process her thoughts, she pulled him back in, her body moving like a wild tigress drawn to the allure of their intense connection. Everything they were doing felt so foreign, so new, and yet, there was an undeniable pull. This was more than just passion; it was a storm brewing inside her, a beautiful disaster unleashed all at once. Her emotions surged and swirled within her, and with a quiet whisper against his ear, she uttered, “Oh please, punish me.”She was giving herself up to him completely, offering herself as the release for their shared chaos. Their emotions were raw and unfiltered, finally allowing them to surrender to the overwhelming desire and pain of the past. In each other’s embrace, they found the balm for the wounds they had carried with them for so long. It was as though the years of anguish had led to this moment, where their bodies and souls could finally heal.Fo

    She felt a knot tighten in her stomach as she read the message from the man who had recently left her heart feeling hollow. She had believed that Vince had severed their connection the last time they spoke. After all, he had avoided her at every turn, making it feel as if they were nothing more than strangers now. Yet, despite everything, her feet seemed to carry her toward him again, drawn by some force she couldn’t explain. After reading his text, she felt like she was in a trance—perhaps admitting to herself for the first time that she missed him.Her steps grew heavier, her heart racing with a strange mix of excitement and anxiety. She walked toward the hidden room in the farthest section of the library, unaware of how foolish she must have seemed. Every step she took felt like it was leading her to something inevitable. A whirlwind of emotions was surging inside her—confusion, longing, fear, and hope.As she entered the hidden room, she suddenly sensed an unfamiliar tension in th
