Suicidal Tendencies

"Nothing! I don't have anyone, I don't have friends or family. Because of that, I think that Josh and I have a life. We both have no one but ourselves. Josh's father and mother died in an accident when He was still small. After that, he was raised by different relatives until finally he was raised by his Uncle and Aunt who lived in this city. But it seemed like they didn't really care about him either."

I was stunned, she didn't expect that the evil young man who threatened her would actually have such a difficult life. Very different from him who lived happily since childhood with a family who loved him very much.

"Why did you do that?"

"I apologize!"

"Hurting yourself to get other people's attention and sympathy. Isn't that what you're doing?"

"Soraya, I-"

"I don't know whether you're thinking about me or not. But to be honest, it really bothers me. You should understand the risks you have to accept for the stupid things you do. And also, your boyfriend-"

"Josh, what's wrong with him?"

"Can you tell him to stop thinking of me as a suspect in what happened to you?"

"W-what, do you mean?"

"He thinks that I was the one who made you dare to hurt yourself. He thinks that I was the one who bothered you. That's why I want you to clear up this misunderstanding!"

"I can't do that!"

"What do you mean you can't?"

"Josh knows I have an anxiety disorder, that's why he can't tolerate the slightest disturbance that could make me relapse. Josh is also very stubborn, he won't listen to me."

"What? But you can try to explain what really happened to him, right? You could say that I had nothing to do with all of this."

"I can't! I can't do it!"

"What?"

"After all, this is all your fault. If you had listened to me at that time, none of this would have happened. I warned you before, but you still persisted."

"You can still blame me? Why do I always have to follow your wishes?"

"It's all for your safety too! Josh is a very reckless person. He was previously detained in prison for three years after committing assault. Therefore, you should be careful and listen to me if you want to stay safe."

Soraya froze. He couldn't believe everything he had just heard. He couldn't believe how all of this could be his fault.

Because he was too shocked, not a single word came out of his mouth. Seeing him like that, Kerry didn't seem to care that much and changed the television broadcast with the remote in his hand.

"A student at University "The tranquilizer was in the car. It is currently suspected that this young woman's death was due to negligence. The police are still asking for information from several eye witnesses."

Soraya's eyes widened watching the news on television which revealed the case of the death of a woman in a car. Soraya is sure that the woman on the news is the same woman who was taken to the hospital 30 minutes ago.

"It's scary, isn't it? He could die like that, he must be so depressed and hopeless." Kerry said. Even though he said something that sounded wise, for some reason his expression didn't show the same thing.

"Kerry, I have to go now! Take care of yourself. See you?"

Faculty of Arts

"Hey, have you guys heard the news? It's great that Bouttier was found dead in his car."

"Oh my, that's really unexpected, isn't it? Even though she's the daughter of a rich family, she's beautiful and has a good future. But her life had to end like that."

"They said he died of carbon monoxide gas poisoning. But how could he be in his car all night? What was he doing?

"Could it be possible to kill him?"

"Or commit suicide?"

The horrendous news was heard all over again. Not only in the university area, but throughout the city people continue to talk about the news of the discovery of a young woman's body in a car.

Soraya didn't want to hear it anymore. But like it or not, he has to keep his ears open and listen like other people do.

In front of him, David stood blocking his path, looking forward. Soraya frowned. He didn't understand what David was doing.

"What's wrong? What are you doing? I'm going to class!"

"First class is postponed until 10 o'clock, you'd better come with me!" David said as he took Soraya's hand and took her away to the park in the area behind the Faculty of Arts.

On the park bench, Diana, Kimberly and James were already there and it was clear that they were deliberately waiting for Soraya to join them.

"Why are you gathered here?" Soraya asked. Meanwhile, Diana's face looked annoyed, in contrast to Kimberly who was smiling happily.

"Sora, you've heard the news, right?" David asked.

"Of course! A student was found dead in a car, right? I already knew. I even saw her body being taken to the hospital."

"Is it true?"
