Chapter 5: Circles
[ Five Years Later... ]
"It’s been five years since she died, why do you keep visiting this place? Don’t tell me you loved her for real. Do you miss her?" Ashton teased his best friend, Dominique, to lighten the mood.
The two men were standing atop the concrete bridge, the exact spot where Sabrina jumped off five years ago.
Dominique pursed his lips and glowered his eyes at Ashton, ignoring his remarks. He was not in the mood for jokes. "Why are you here? Can’t you leave me alone?"
Ashton sighed helplessly, shrugging his shoulders. "It’s because I’m concerned about you. Today marks Sabrina’s death anniversary, and I want to uplift my best friend’s mood. Are you still being bothered by those nightmares?"
"My nightmare has nothing to do with her," Dominique snarled at him, unable to mention Sabrina’s name.
Ashton just watched Dominique’s figure. He could tell that his best friend would never admit his real feelings for Sabrina. He was still in denial.
"What if she’s alive? Her body was never found." Dominique mumbled, his eyes staring at the flowing river beneath them.
"No one can survive that fall, Dom. It was raining heavily. The strong current might have drowned her to death. And why do you care if she’s still alive? You already got what you wanted– your revenge against Albert Williams." Ashton paused for a moment. His eyes widened as he snapped his fingers in realization.
"If you don’t have feelings for her... perhaps, you are scared that Sabrina will come back to life and seek revenge on you and Sasha?!"
