---- Chapter 11 Look Ahead Winona left, eventually. Further and further she went, until she was no longer in my line of sight. There was no hatred or fury within me. The only thing was this... void. That encounter took all my strength. And then I heard someone scream. It stunned me for a moment. That scream came from downstairs, and it was getting louder. My heart sank. Iran to the staircase and looked down. A white dress, blooming like a lily in summer. Winona's dress. I couldn't believe my eyes. Yes, she was at fault in this story, but I never wanted to hurt her. I couldn't believe it. A moment ago, she was pleading for a chance, and the next, she leaped off the building. It was barely seconds after she left, and now she was dead. I ran downstairs as fast as my legs could take me. There was already a crowd around the scene, and they ---- were in hushed discussions. With a trembling hand, I took my phone out and called an ambulance. Then another scream came from behind. Yvonne was back, and she saw... this. Quickly, she came up to me and hugged my arm as tightly as she could. "But that's... She... You..." I did not answer. Once I called the ambulance, I checked on Winona. Yvonne was still holding me, shaking her head. Slowly, I put my phone down. After what felt like eons, the cops and doctors took Winona away ona gurney. A stretch of white cloth covered her body. The cop shook at me. He was disheveled. "We just handled one case this morning. Honestly, the couple... " My heart froze up for a moment, and I asked the cop what he was talking about. He hesitated for a moment, and he answered, "Your ex... Well, her boyfriend leaped off a building this morning, too. Number Three, Blessed Avenue. I handled the case. ---- Didn't think I'd be collecting his girlfriend's corpse too. "Oh, no time to talk. Just sign the papers when you have the time, alright?" I nodded, but my mind was in chaos. Yvonne took me back home. I was still in a trance, but then she asked, "Are you alright?" That snapped me out of it. I looked at her, and she had nothing but concern for me. All I did was shake my head. No answer came to my lips, but I turned my attention to the scene outside the window. Yvonne did not talk about Winona. She knew why Winona was here. Iheaved a long, long sigh. Hoarsely, I began, "I never thought..." Yvonne interrupted, "It's not your fault. Don't shoulder all the blame. I was going to tell you about Claude's death just in case you ran into trouble. I ---- wasn't expecting... Just don't think about it. Fate guides us in different ways. What happened to her isn't your fault." I looked at Yvonne again, and I pulled her into my embrace. I had no idea why. It just felt like the right thing to do. Yvonne patted my back. "It's okay. You still have me." The end. Title: ReelTalk EP8- From Hinge to Unhinged Join host Rachel Bencosme as she delves into Sarah's dating escapades in the latest episode of ReelTalk.
