42.1 EVERSON
I stopped in my trance and came back to reality when I heard a sequence of doorbell sounds. But after a few seconds it stopped, I brushed it off and dart my eyes back to the book I was supposed to be reading but my mind kept flying back to my memories in Camden down. But just when I was about to keep my focus on my book, the doorbell suddenly started ringing again, this time, whoever's ringing it seems to be in a hurry because of how constant he rings the doorbell as if his life depends on it.
I frowned in irritation and set down the book I was holding, and waited for a while, but the person ringing our doorbell didn't stop, leading me to stand up. What was strange was that I never heard Mom's voice. Her bedroom is simply downstairs; I'm sure she'd already opened the door for that person. And I have no clue who that person is. As far as I know, I am not expecting anyone today, even though it's a special da

"Ever, happy birthday! Woohoo!""Come on, let's go! Let's have a party! We brought lots of alcohol!""Nice house, man!"Then, all of a sudden, there was shouting and loud noises throughout the house, as they all surged inside, pushing me against the wall as I'm invisible in their eyes now.It's almost as though all of Willow High's seniors have gathered here. Our house isn't even big enough to accommodate them all; in fact, our once-large enough-for-us home appeared to be the smallest house I'd ever seen."Ever!"The noise was deafening, there were speakers blaring in every corner of the house, and it felt like I was in a crazy zoo in an instant.

"S-Sierra?" I blinked many times and even rubbed my eyes to be sure it was her and not just a hallucination of mine. She responded by smiling and nodding at me; I noticed her eyes are red and her smile didn't seem genuine as it didn't even reach her eyes, which bewildered me; she didn't seems fine at all, she looks like another version of Sierra—the saddest one. But before I could say anything to her, she took me by surprise when she grabbed my hand and placed the small box on my palm before immediately letting it go. I felt an electricity surge in me after she held my hand; I'm not sure why, but it seems like I felt that I longed for her hold so much because it had been so long since I'd touched her hand and stood face-to-face with her. The weather is cold, but I can feel a comforting warmth in her presence, just as I had before. In a single glance from her, all the love I've long buried for her emerges one by one from their graves. I thought to myself, I've alr

"I think you've had enough to drink." I started when Sierra came in through the back entrance, I followed her to the bottom of the stairs where we're the only two people here. I had just finished blowing out the birthday candle on my cake, and there were just a few unwelcome guests remaining in the house.She's strolling in a circus-like style and appears to be out of her head as a result of her inebriation. She's clutching a bottle of beer and drinking it as if it's her last, before looking at me and plastering her wide grin."I can't even feel the alcohol in my system yet." She said, and swayed with the music coming from the speaker. The carefree Sierra I met before reappeared in the blink of an eye that made me smile a little."So, how are you doing these days?" After convincing myself multiple times, I finally found the courage to approach her. I also realized that we would never meet again after this day, and I didn't want to wind up regretting my dec

PRESENT DAYNovember 30, 2021"How are things going for you here?" When Archer sat down in front of me, I quickly began the conversation. We're separated by a low glass. I noticed how his wrists are so red that I imagine he's trying to aggressively get rid of the chains in his hand, reminding me of when we were kids and I used to see him tied up in bed due to his impulsiveness. He's being guarded by a police officer who is leaning on the wall, just a few steps away from us.He's been imprisoned for four weeks now, but his weight loss is noticeably different from when we last met at his place. He's absolutely worse than before, but I can see how he's much more clear-headed and easier to talk to than before which all he ever said was about Sierra being still alive. He seems to be taking his meds on time now.Archer didn't say anything and just stared bluntly at me, but I could sense his rage in his blazing eyes even when his face was expre

I awoke immediately when I heard a noise outside; I had just remembered that I had fallen asleep while grieving for Sierra. I checked the time on the clock on my bedside table and noticed that it was only 2 a.m. It may sound impossible and shit, but it's the first time in weeks that I've actually slept. Because of my unexpected awakening, my headache has returned and is considerably more intense than before. I'm sure my eyes are still puffy from how much I cried for her. My gaze was drawn to a few photos of Sierra and me scattered on the floor, as well as the crumpled tissues.I sat on my bed and stared at nothing, attempting to calm my nerves; it had been three weeks since Sierra's death news erupted and became a big news story throughout the country; it had also given everyone in Camden a terrible scare. I'm still crying for her and can't believe she's no longer with us. I know it's a ridiculous thought, but I keep convincing myself that Sierra is still out there, probabl

"What are we going to do with her now, son?" Mom asked, her countenance befuddled. She's been staring at Sierra, who's in my bed, for several minutes and has only just begun to speak about her. "I still can't believe she's right here in front of us."Just like me, mom is in complete astonishment and can't fathom how this could have happened. No matter how hard we try to convince ourselves that this is simply a Sierra clone, we know we're delusory if we keep thinking that way. I sighed and walked up to my bedroom window. It was just six o'clock in the morning, the sky wasn't that bright yet, but I already saw people outside getting ready for their jobs, work, and school. I have a class today, but I don't believe I'll be able to go to school in this condition nor get focused on it. Before addressing Mom, I closed the window and covered the curtain as if I am so scared that anyone will looked back at me and began pounding to our door asking us to drag Sierra outside

It's been a week now and Sierra's still silent about what truly happened to the two of them and Archer the night she vanished. We always asked her about it, but we gave up when she said she wasn't ready to tell us anything more; it only made me more impatient and frustrated. Mom advised me to take a break from questioning Sierra and focus on myself and my studies first, so we could also give each other room and time to contemplate. Mainly because she also thinks that Sierra is still clearly traumatized by what happened to her. So, even though I don't want to stop asking her, I have no option but to obey mom; she always knows what's best in any scenario, so perhaps she's right that my eagerness is making Sierra feel anxious.Though, Sierra can't blame me; she made me this way. She hides secrets, and I don't understand why she isn't talking about it yet. Because if she knows she's in danger, she would have asked for us to help her do something about it, and it will only happen
