"I believe she has already made it clear that she doesn't wish to be touched by you and if put your hands on her one more time I'll have security throw you out and I'll sue you for harassment, do I make myself clear." Ollie said in a low growl as he removed that guys hand away from me.

"You'll regret this, do watch your backs." Is he really trying to push me to my limits? He's the only one her that would be regretting anything about something if he doesn't walk away now.

Of course he left. And a little while after that the evening came and the party went on full swing. Auntie Luella ordered an ice cream cake that looked big enough for a wedding, hell it even looked like a wedding cake. It was deep purple, like my dress, with a trail of purple chocolate butterflies and fresh Irises swirl down the cake. I found out, when I cut the cake, that the inside many layers of strawberry and vanilla ice cream on top of each other with fresh strawberries. It was just like that time when I was experimenting with clotted cream and fresh strawberries to make ice cream.

I was times like these that made makes me wish that time could stop. I was too naïve back then to even notice the dark clouds that was looming over the horizon.

-3 months later-

"Gene, promise all of us that you would call every day and give us updates on what's going on alright?" Gene is about to go to Japan to take a job at some old asylum. I worry for him; he can't do much to protect himself without us there with him, even if this was quite the straight forward case.

"Mai, you worry too much, Gene is old enough to take care of himself." And of course the idiot scientist holds no care for his brother's parting, or at least that's what it seemed like on the surface, even if he believes he is fooling everyone, no one was convinced, we all knew he was more worried than all of us combined.

"Mai, don't worry about me, I'll be back before you know it." Stupid Gene needs to know everyone loves and worry for him like crazy.

"Fine, Just hurry up and go, you're gonna miss your plane." I said as I pushed him towards the gates and he hand the gatekeeper he ticket. And after that we just went home and he called us every night as promised.

"So today was no different, I can't find a pattern in occurrences, but it's only been a few day so I'll work hard, kay gotta go." And he hung up. I just put down the phone and fell asleep after that.

-In Mai's dream-

I hurt so much, everything hurts, everything hurts so badly, I can't even breathe. When will this be all over, when will the pain finally be gone, I don't even realize how much time has pass. One hour, one day, one week when will it finally stop. What happened to me? I remember now, someone hit me over, and now, I'm just waiting for death to come claim me. I sorry Oliver, I must leave you now, Mai please take care of that idiot scientist.

-Dream ended-

I shot right out of bed I tears, my lungs still filled with water, my heart still pounding like crazy "Ollie!" I shouted between my extreme fits of coughing and saw Ollie running to my side like he used to, but this time was different, he was holding Gene's old journal, he knew exactly what I saw. "Ollie, Ollie, Gene's gone, Ollie," all I did was sobbed and sobbed while Ollie held me in his arms, comforting me. Auntie and uncle rushed in to see what was all the fuss was about; they were still in their night dress, auntie's curlers were still in place and uncle was now wearing his glasses over his usual contacts. "Gene is gone." Was all I could say, unable to utter a single word other than 'he's gone'.

"Mai calm down," Ollie commanded, even though he was shaking just as violently as I was "everything will be okay, I promise, I promise everything is going to be fine." And with that, we left the next day with Lin to look for Gene's body.

Me: sorry for the late up date school has been kind of hellish so yeah. Please r&r
