Chapter 13
*Chasity's P.O.V.*
"Chasity! Hey." Elaine shouted at me when I was about to leave the coffee shop I'm staying in.
I decided to visit the old house I and my brother have and maybe just a take a quick look outside of it, but I guess I won't be going now.
"Hey, El. What are you doing here?" I walked back to her and we shared a hug.
"Patrick called me saying that you're staying here and because for some reason you're not allowed to go back to your house yet." she said while smiling and I nodded at her.
"I think my brother's throwing a party there without me." I joke and we both laughed. "Well, thank you for being here so I won't feel alone."
"Well, I need some coffee too." she said to me.
Our conversation went on and I was just asking how everything had went when we were in Japan. She told me everything even about the things that had happened with Matthew and after Patrick arrived her yesterday.
"So, is it really possible?" I asked and I saw the worry on her face.
"I don't really know, C. I have no idea, I wish it is possible, but Patrick and the others are trying to find a way to know. They are trying to find something that might have Chasity's DNA on it and test it with the corpse's DNA." she explained.
"Oh, by the way, why aren't you with them and why didn't you come with Patrick in Japan?" I asked, Elaine smiled at me before answering.
"First of all, we're not together anymore, I let him go."
"What? Why?"
"It's obvious that Patrick can't love me, maybe he can...but it's more like a sister and brother relationship. I know from the first time that I'm not the girl for him, I don't want to barricade him with the title of 'my boyfriend'. And besides, I want him to move on, he won't be able to do that unless he found someone to replace Chasity in his heart."
"But I think that's impossible to happen." I and Elaine said at the same time. Both of us know that Patrick will have a very hard time to let go of the past, most especially Chasity. "But you're such a kind person to do that, Elaine."
"Just making it up to them, most especially to Patrick. I've done a lot of awful thing to him back then." she honestly said.
"By the way, what are they doing now? Where will they find Chasity's DNA now?" I asked curiously.
"Well, Chasity's things are still with her brother, so probably the boys are going to him now."
"Huh, what are the odds. Chasity have a brother too, just like me again." I said and we laughed at the creepiness of the coincidence.

*Patrick's P.O.V.*
"Chris. Thank you for letting us come over." I told Chris the moment he opened the door for us.
We are currently visiting him in their old house. Every furniture was covered with white sheet, of course, Chris wouldn't be able to stay here after what happened to Chasity. All of their memories together have stayed here and I would move out too if I was him.
"What's happening Patrick? Why the sudden call?" he asked me. We all sat down on a dusty couch and I took a deep breath. Now, how am I going to tell everything to him.
"This may sound so impossible, insane, and pathetic, but please listen..." Andy started and I was thankful for that.
After that I started to talk, telling him everything from the start when we found out what is happening with Matthew to the decision we had to test the corpse's DNA. I was impressed with how he's able to handle all these information, he's not even giving out a shocked expression or reacting to what we're saying. He's just seriously looking at us and listening.
"Patrick, don't get me wrong. I do understand, but I don't want to have a false hope...I don't want u to have that." he said sincerely and I just smiled at him.
"I know, but we have to at least try to! I mean, we can lose nothing...in fact, this can gain us something." I said to him.
"But Patrick, you're already hoping and what if Matthew's still messing with us?" he reasoned, but I do understand him. Chris looked at us then he sighed. "Okay, fine. I'll let you do what you guys want. Just don't your hopes up, especially you Patrick. I don't want you guys to carry thing pain any longer. You know where to find her old things, Patrick, you have the key to her house in here. Since the day she was gone, no one had entered that house, considering you have the key to it."
"Yes, thank you, Chris. I want to do it, maybe after this I'll be able to let go...I just need to know, maybe this is the reason why I wasn't able to move on after all these months. And I just want you to know about this, of course, you are her brother. You may want to know." I explained.
"Thank you, Patrick. Just a tip for finding something that can contain her DNA, Chasity had this bad habit of not cleaning her hairbrush. Some of her hair might still be on her hairbrush back in her house." Chris told us and I can never be thankful for that information in my life.
"Thank you, Chris. We'll tell you everything after we find the sample. Again, thank you." I told him before we go out of the house.
The four of us decided to head towards Chasity's house, and I was holding the biggest hope again. I just wish it will not go in vain. I really do believe that Chasity might be alive, I don't know how or why, but I do feel it. Maybe that's the reason why I can't still move on, why I can't still let her go. It's not done yet.
"Didn't you guys notice something oddly different with Chris?" Andy suddenly said.
"Come to think of it, there is something different." Pete agreed.
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked them.
"He seemed negative. Knowing him before, he's the guy that won't lose hope. He's like Patrick when it comes to Chasity, the guy loves his sister too much and will consider anything that can bring her back too." Andy explained and I looked at them.
"Andy is right, he's closing all options. It's not like him, even if you say that maybe he moved on and doesn't want to hope anymore...it's not Chris." Joe said.
"You guys are overthinking, Chris is just over it, he accepted that she's gone...but I'm going to prove him wrong." I said with a hopeful tone, but I know the others are still thinking about Chris.
