Chereads / THE LAST MISSING PIECE / Chapter 38 - Chapter Thirty Seven

Chapter 38 - Chapter Thirty Seven

WAYNE'S POV

"Are we done yet?"...suddenly I feel annoyed.

"Uhm yeah, we will be done after some editing.

Argh! Where the hell did they go?!

But why I'm so worked up?

Why?!

What's happening to me?!

F*ck

"Can you do the editing alone, I think I contributed enough"...I said. I'm feeling uneasy right now.

"Well, yeah, do you h-have an important thing to do after?"...she asked. "Yeah"...I timidly said.

Honestly I want to rush out here.

"Okay, then you can--"...before she can say anything. I immediately cutted her off. "Well, I'm off"...I said and quickly rushed outside.

But..

It's raining?!

Fudge! I didn't even bring an umbrella.

Oh!

Rushing to the nearest convenience store, I was left no choice but to get soaked on the way.

Reaching the store, I walked unannounced and went to pick two umbrellas and went to check it on the counter.

"Please be quick"...I ordered and he did what I said.

Since I didn't brought my car. I rode my bike elsewhere.

I took every oath I know and rode my bike until it run out of gas but still no signs of her.

Just where did they go?!

It wouldn't stop raining and my helmet's getting blurry.

But still no signs of her.

Wait there's still one route I haven't been off.

Turning right. I followed the path but the raindrops are getting heavy that U wiping my helmet wasn't enough for me to see the road clearly so I went and stopped for a while.

I don't know where they are?!

But why am I treating this like a big deal?!

It's just a mere woman?!

And it's my friend?!

But Why??!

Looking at the rainfall in front of me, my head was filled with more thoughts of her.

Is this real?!

Why am I even doing this?!

Should I just go back?!

Yeah I think it's better to let her be..

Yeah, I have nothing to lose anyway.

That way, I began to rode back. I just convinced myself that it doesn't have to be this way. I'm not this person.

I don't have time to think about others whou wouldn't think about me too.

And it's not worth it.

I should just focus on my own.

But...

What if I made a difference?

What if I didn't care if I'm this kind of person or not?

What if?!

I found her!

I felt relieved and I tightened the grip of the umbrella I am holding. I wanted to walked near her.

Now that I've seen her I felt annoyed and happy.

"Hey Bum--"....an umbrella?

Am I too late?

*grip tightened*

If I didn't hesitate. Would I be the one holding that for her?!

But maybe I was right all along. I shouldn't have hesitated.

I shouldn't have treated this whole thing a big deal.

I shouldn't have jump into the water, knowing that I might've drown.

...and yet I did..

It was foolish of me to look for her when someone is already looking out for her.

This is why....

This is why I shouldn't have let my guard down..

*Broom* *Broom*

SARAH'S POV

Searching for the tools inside my car. I literally found nothing.

Argh!

I'm doomed. I can't just leave this alone in the road.

The rain is getting heavier and I have nothing to use. My phone was dead because I forgot to charge it so I couldn't find a way to reach the insurance company.

I even tried to find payphone but there's also nothing here.

What do I do?!

I'm soaked but I don't care. All I wanted was to fix this car.

Maybe there's payphone over there. I should--

"You're soaked"....an umbrella?

Crane?

"Why are you back here?"...I asked. I clearly saw him drove away.

"Nothing, I felt something bad's gonna happen, so I came back"..he said. Is ot true though?

"Oh, then can I use your phone?"...I asked. "Yeah, of course..here"...he handed me his phone and I dialed first Barry.

So I signaled him that I'll just take the call.

"Wait!...Take this"...he offered. For a moment I was hesitating but since I have his phone I accepted it. I'm afraid the phone will get soaked too.

"Hello, Mr. Barry?"

"Yes young miss, what can I do for you"

"Just call be my name...it's awkward you know"

"But-"

"Please and the reason I called was about my car. It has flat tires"

"Oh the tools...it's actually on the trunk on the black bag"

"Oh...I didn't notice I thought it was just nothing...but thank you"

"You're welcome"

"Yeah...bye"

After that I ended the call and returned the phone to him.

"Thanks..ahm..you can go now. I can handle this alone so thanks for your help"...I said and didn't gave him a chance to talk back.

Opening the trunk I saw the bag that Barry talked about and he was right it's the tools for changing flat tires.

"Do you know how to do it?"...oh yeah...

"I don't?"

"Then why'd you make me go home if you can't do this alone?"...he said but I remained silent.

"Fine you do it,"...I gave in. What can I do...I might've spend the whole night if I insisted on doing it alone.

"Here...is this comfortable?"...I said while holdong the umbrella so he won't get wet.

But actually..our eyes was fixated on each sight.

"Y-yeah...I think so"....he said and proceeded.

~*~

It lasted more than an hour so it was a bit tiring to hold the umbrella for that long.

It's still raining...and I'm soaked but it's fine.

"Okay! Done"...he announced and it really is...done.

"It must've hurt holding out for too long"...he suddenly said.

"Uh...yeah..I mean no"...I quickly avoided his gaze. He's near that he seems to stare at me deeply.

"So uh...will you be okay alone?"...he asked and I just nodded at him.

"Oh yeah...thanks"...I said and took a step back but--!

Sh*t no!!!!

But why didn't I fall?!

Slowly opening my eyes, I saw him near me.

H-he's h-holding me?

But he look different....

Wayne?!

"S-sarah"....i-it's Crane.. "Yeah...oh I'm sorry"...I quickly loosen up from his grip and distanced myself.

What is that ealier?!

Why did I thought of him was Wayne?

Am I?
