Forty Eight
Gaia arrived home and ran to her room, ignoring her mother’s greeting as she took care of Aera. She preferred to be alone for a moment while she stayed in her room. Gaia was afraid to accept the fact that her own best friend, Yohan, could still be alive. Questions rose every time Inspector Tyler shows up and tells them whatever he finds out about Yohan’s sudden death.
Suddenly, Gaia’s phone rang from her purse. Her hands began to shake as she stared at her phone, imagining that Yohan may be calling her. She watched her phone ring until it finally ended. Gaia continued to stare at it when it rang again. Her body trembled as she thought of the possibilities that Yohan is alive and trying to contact her. The call ended, and she sighed as a relief. Her phone rang for the third time. She built her courage, took her phone, and threw it against the wall. The phone screen was cracked, and it turned off. She fell to the ground as a relief.
