章 75: Book 1 : Chapter 75 A Piece In A Puzzle

November 27th

Initially, I only saw Luca hugging Allison as she wept into his shoulder. Then my eyes cast down to Amber lying lifelessly on the floor. I brought my hand to my mouth in shock as Leo held my other tighter.

"Her heart isn't beating, is it?" I asked Leo, my eyes welling up with tears.

"Where's Blair?" Leo questioned seriously after kneeling beside Amber's body and putting his ear to her heart. His jaw clenched tightly.

"On his way," Luca replied.

Less than 10 seconds later, we heard footsteps coming from the direction of the parking lot. Blair soon appeared; worry struck across his face. He saw the body on the floor and froze.

I screwed my face up and leant into Leo's chest as I watched him slowly process what he was seeing. To watch him realize his loss was one of the worst things I'd ever seen. I was certain the way his face slowly turned from disbelief to utter grief with the sinking in of the reality of his sister's dead body would haunt me forever.
