3rd P.O.V.

Luca sat on one of the leather crairs inside the known cafe near the river, sipping his afternoon tea. Patiently, He waited for a specific person to finally come in the doors and make the chimes ring. His composture of being gentlemanly never faded on the entire time of the wait. The clock's hollow sounds echo in the empty cafe making an eerie feeling around the area but nontheless. He stared at the victorian porcelain teacup he was drinking on that was now empty of the liquid. "Maybe a quick refill won't hurt" he muttered to himself as he propelled forward to serve himself.

The quietness was then broken by the sudden opening of the entrance door making a gust of freezing cold wind enter the small building. A girl with hazel brown hair and multiple layers of fashionably placed clothing entered the small facility"I'm sorry Luca! I'm soo late! It's Christmas you see and there's a party at my parents house and..."

"It's fine Marzia." Luca said chuckling as he took something out of his pocket.

It was a small box with beautifully crafted designs. He took Marzia's hands and placed it gently. Afterwards he gave her a warm hug.

"Merry Christmas M-A-R-Z-I-A~!"

"...Thanks Luca" She smiled while pulling away from the hug.

"I'll give you your gift tomorrow since I haven't decided yet. Tell me what you want will you?"

"Surprise me"He gave a sly smile. He checked behind her seeing a suitcase.

"So shall we take our leave?"

Cry's P.O.V

Riddle sat silently beside me after the little conversation we had. We didn't talk after that, not knowing why though. Time has passed fast and it was already nearing night. The children and other individuals left the area and streetlamps start to light up. A person was sitting with his mother on the other side of the park but other than that the whole place was deserted.

"Hey Riddle..." I said breaking the cold silence of the park.

"Hmm?" He hummed.

"... I don't know if I should be asking this because it's strange but..." With slight hesitation, "Your hair, it's short now... why?"

The long crimson hair he used to have has been cut to a much managable size of just above the shoulder yet the cutting didn't seem even as if it was done by himself and was done purely on force.

"I...u-um..." He jittered.

Not again... I might be hitting something again...

"Oh, sorry... I didn't to hit something... again..." I muttered.

"Oh it's f-fine... Let's just say it's childhood trauma..."

I nodded in agreement and fell silent. The lampost nearest me started to flicker due to a broken bulb. The snowfall stopped but the winds started became more and more freezing. Bored, I bent down and created a snowball on my palm and started to throw it randomly in my pleasure.

"Hey!" a man yelled by getting hit by one of the snowballs.

"Sorry!" I yelled back but kept with the activity.

Soon after I got bored by this as well and made my last snowball, throwing it to my right this time. I heard an enraged muttering just after the throw. Damn, I think I hit some random drunk guy. The sillouette of the person appeared moving towards the bench where Riddle and I were sitting. From one sillouette it became two. There were two of them? Apparently.

"You! Why'd you hit me with a snowball you ass!? Did you know massacre started because of a snowball fight? " The person screamed then stopped midsentence when he found who he was shouting to, "Oh Cry, finally I found you..." The person was non other than Avan his faced showed slight fatigue and one person followed behind him. Pewds? Why was he still here?

"Oh hey Avan..." I paused, "Pewds..."

The blonde swede waved at me with a small smile, "Hi Cry... and hi..." he stopped when he looked at Riddle. Oh yeah they haven't met yet. "R-riddle..." He stuttered with utter fright.

Avan grimaced at the sight of the other man. I peeked beside me to see Riddle was facing the concrete pavement, trying his best not to make any eye contact with any of he other males.

"Riddle? What are YOU doing here? And what's up your hair" Avan said sternly.

"W-why do you care?!" The crimson hair one spat back trying not to sound scared.

Avan gave a sharp glare and raised a brow. It was threatining enough that it sent shivers to my spine and it made Pewdie's eyes widen.

"Me? Care about you? Don't troll with me. More importanly do even you even care about yourself. Do you even value yourself?"

Everyone was silent as Avan let out stern words, especially Riddle. No... In fact... The most affected one was Riddle. He started trembling more and I don't think it was

"No answer? That's why your like this Riddle. You always let people have their way on you. You always go with their direction. But what about you? Where are you going?! You can't just sell yourself like that?! I mean what are you?! For sale?! Buy one take one shit?! Garage sale!? You can't do that?! Are you a donation or something? A freebie?Buy a Can and you get a free Riddle?! Bullshit! You can't treat yourself like that! Are you worth a cereal box toy?! I'll have you know that if I burn you alive, your ashes can turn to diamonds! Yeah, your worthless ashes can be diamonds! So even if you can't follow simple IEEE Standards, your still worth diamonds!

Everyone was shocked, scared and stunned by the sudden outburst of the peach-haired male, most especially Riddle. The other male that sat beside me was in pure fright, he was paralyzed in it. Tears just rolled down his snow white cheeks with no obstructions as he stared at the gray pavement quietly. "I-Im... s-sorry..." He muttered before standing up and running towards the street. No! I thought to myself. Was he that scared that he was going to just end it? Please don't. We ran after Riddle, Avan bieng the one to lead us and was faster compared to me and Pewdie. The winter mist surrounded me and I somehow lost track of Avan and the blonde swede until I heard the sound of a car horn going off and a loud crash. Finching for a bit I ran toward the origin of sound and it lead me to the side walk. The scent of rust filled the streets and the muffled cries of a man can also be heard. As soon as I saw the scene it shocked me. Riddle, the guy that I was talking to the past few hours was on the ground, small drops of blood accumulated around him. Avan was on the ground dumbfounded on what happened, he looked stunned. Why did this have to happen?

The unknown driver exited the car and suggested to deliver him to the hospital.

"That'll be best..." a voice appeared beside me. It was Pewds. I didn't even notice his presence. I was more stunned of the occurance. Me and Pewds tried to move Riddle's unconcious body to the car, setting it on the back seat. Avan still didn't move still. He was obviously terrified of it. I nudged his shoulder telling him that we were going to bring him to the hospital and he simply nodded and sat beside Riddle in the back seat. Doing basic first aid that I learned when I was little, I tied some clean cloth around the bleading areas around hos body to try to stop the bleeding.

Finally reaching the hospital, Avan held Riddle bridal style inside the hospital as he called for help. Paramedics brought a stretcher and Riddle was placed on it.

"Don't worry Sir, we will try with our utmost strength to revive your friend." A female nurse with blonde hair tied into a bun said. Avan just nodded and sat followed Riddle until he wasn't allowed to enter the area anymore. Me and pewdie sat in the lobby waiting anxiously for the news. Avan finally came out and sat with us mumbling something that was inaudible to us.

"Hmm? What is it Avan?" Pewds questioned with sympathy.

"I did this..." Was his reply.

"Umm... did what?"

"I-I hurt Riddle..."
