Chapter 1 - 1: A drop of a tear

The finest day has come to an end, the laughter of the two were replaced by a cry.

Her tears falls along with the rain.

The cry of his sister he still hears, wanting to hold her cheeks but he isn't able to due to injuries and his short breaths.

"Brother..! The ambulance is coming, please hold on for me!" She sobs as she holds his hand, Jenna's tears drop on his brother's cheeks. Even with a closed eye he knows how ugly her sister cries, which is why he hates seeing her hurt.

"J..a..h..." the attempt of Ike calling for her sister's name sounded like groans, were heard and Jenna looked at her brother's eyes one last time. He opened and shut them the last time.

His hand completely felt dead, the way it felt cold and slipped down from Jenna's hands. Jenna became silent, her eyes wide as the tears began to flow more. Seconds after, the sirens of the ambulance and two police cars were heard.

Jenna sat there silent, the rain began to pour heavily on her, and her brother still laying down on the road just a few meters away from the two wrecked cars.

The voices of two nice police women were blurred out from Jenna's ears, she only hear rain and sirens.

They gave her a towel. She looked up and to her surroundings her eyes still widen and went back to examining her brother's body. They started to lift her up as they see that her leg is injured, she see her brother getting carried by a stretcher.

An hour later and she finally came to her senses, she is now at the hospital laying on the hospital bed while her brother is in the ER.

Their parents came and hugged Jenna, they cried together and soon after that moment her brother was announced dead.

"There is nothing we could do.. I'm sorry for your lost Mr. and Mrs. Laur..." The doctor lowered his head feeling like he didn't do all his best to save his patient. But it really isn't his fault, seriously.

If the other person driving the other car wasn't drunk driving on a rainy day,

'Ike wouldn't have died.... My brother would still be sitting beside me watching our favourite show on tv right now.' Jenna thought, her mind kept on wondering about if Ike is still alive, then they would be at home waiting for their mom to finish cooking while they watch tv.

[ Oh how sad. ] A girl whispered to herself as she watch the coffin being put down. She glanced at the sister, she wanted to cry with her. But all she could do is watch and be a guider that she is.

"That's me..." A boy who's behind the girl said, watching with her.

[ Yes, unfortunately.. ] She replied to him, Ike touched the screen trying not to burst into tears.

"Can a dead person still... Feel a sharp pain in their chest..? Is that normal..?"

[ Well... You are a soul, and seeing your family and friends cry while looking at your own grave and feeling all that emotion is normal.]

"So.. Angela, is it? Why am I here?" Ike questioned, quickly turning away from the screen and walking away from it.

It still feels unreal for him.
