Chapter Forty-Four
“No, sweetheart. I’m sorry. I ca…can’t breathe anymore. Hunter, please don’t blame yourself for this. No matter what.” Tracy looked up at him one last time, they were holding hands but a second later, Tracy’s hand felt cold and dropped from his. She breathed her last breath.

Hunter cried so hard that it took months for him to recover fully again. Still, he could remember and hear her wiry voice.
He was betrayed cause Tracy did tell him she was pregnant before she died.
That pain of loosing a pregnant woman. He felt it.
He tried hard to forget that incident but it kept coming back even in his dreams.
He tried to investigate with the help of the police but all to no avail. He was told that she committed suicide by falling herself down from the tall building.

He dropped the case but he’s still going to open up the case again.

Claire and Jason heard some strange sounds and looked directly to Hunter’s window.
They could hear the sound of things breaking into pieces. Something glassy.

“I will be right back, Jason.” Claire ran inside without having to hear what her brother wanted to say.

“Be careful!” Jason said but Claire was long gone.

Jason sighed a little before moving forward to the edge of the pool. He wasn’t gonna swim. Just stay there and stare at the water.

Whatever is going on up there, his sister is going to settle it. He knows her.
Very soon, he will be completely heal and will have to go back to school again.
He missed his friends so badly. Even though none of them had come to visit him.

Well, it’s not their fault, they’d think he relocated since their house will be empty.
“Oh God, Heal me so I can go back to school.” He prayed when he eventually got to the pool.

Claire knocked on the door so many times but Hunter won’t open the door for her.
He has been screaming and throwing things away in his room.

“Please, open the door” Claire pleaded.

“Leave! Get away from the door!” Hunter yelled and threw pillow to the door even if Claire didn’t see him do it.

“You’re going to hurt yourself! Open the door, please.”

“You don’t know anything. It’s all my fault! I didn’t protect her.” Hunter scowled and threw a vase away.

“Don’t blame yourself. No matter what.” Claire told him which made Hunter stop for a second.

Those words were part of Tracy’s last words.
He shouldn’t blame himself no matter what.
“No, I take the blame. I didn’t protect her well and the baby. I didn’t.” He mumbled and walked closer to the door and opened it. He didn’t allow her to say anything. He immediately hugged her.
