Chapter 18

{Because of the cliffhanger, here's another chapter for you lovelies! Enjoy!}


*Patrick's P.O.V.*

"Elaine just called me, she said the results are already out. We have to go home first thing in the morning." I announced the news to the others, luckily they are still in the living room of the cabin.


Chasity is still there too, but she's very quiet. We looked at each other for a while and she gave me a small reassuring smile which I appreciate, at least she's not angry with me. I was about to walk towards her, but then she stood up and continued to walk to her room.


"Hey, I'm sorry." I decided to follow her and call out before she can enter her room. Chasity stopped and faced me.


"I know, you're drunk, I'm drunk...things just got out of your grip, I understand, Patrick. Just don't get the wrong idea that I-I'm---


"I'll prove it. I may have done something stupid this night, but believing is not it. I'm not giving up just yet. It's not that I don't want to give you false hope, but I'm giving you your past back. I'm sorry I hurried things up too. I should have understood." I told her with determination and she just looked at me like she was defeated.


I know this is too awkward for her, I'm the one questioning her own identity, it sounds absurd, it sounds pathetic, but for me it's just reasonable.


Chasity suddenly walked in front of me and she held me cheek again, this time I put over my hand over her hand then she smiled at me, like she was accepting everything I have to say.


"We'll know tomorrow...and if you're really right, I would be more than glad to accept your help with bringing my past back." she said, but I know she had difficulties pushing herself to say that.


"You have my word," I said to her.

--------------------------------------------------

We headed home first thing in the morning and Brendon even came with us. The tension is high, we can even feel it when we're travelling towards my house. Everyone is quiet, probably thinking about what could be the result, we're all hoping for it to go our way, but, of course, we have to accept whatever's in those papers now.


Speaking of that, what if I was wrong...will I be ever to accept it? Maybe...maybe not, but I hope so, besides, it's not just me now, I just made Chasity believe that she might be the girl who's already dead and she likes me. I can't continue to act like this if I were wrong...this is why I wanted to be right, not just for me, for us...but for her too.


"Glad you're all safe and here now." Elaine greeted us with a smile. I hugged the girl and she patted my back. "It's going to fine. Are you ready?" she asked.


"I hope so," I said before we all entered my house.


We all settled down in the living room, still, everyone is quiet and I'm already holding the papers that say the result of that DNA test. I just remembered that Chasity didn't know that I took a sample of her hair to test too, I wish she won't be that mad with me if she found out.


"B-before you open that, can I just say something?" Chasity suddenly said and we all looked at her. Anxiety is written all over her face, but she's trying to focus. "I know you all think of me as her...I get it, I understand and it's been wonderful. You guys are amazing and the way you treat me is just wonderful too. When Patrick opened that results and things...didn't turn out the way we wanted it to be...I just want to say 'thank you' and I'm sorry for making you all hope that she can be alive. That's all." she said and after that we all let go of a heavy sigh.


We all know to ourselves that she's right, in our eyes, she already became Chasity...especially to my eye and it's just unfair for her...maybe if she's really not her. The only thing we can know is for me to open this envelope.


"Here goes...everything." I said before pulling out the papers.


My hands are honestly shaking and sweating. My eyes began to scan the paper and read the important parts aloud, I noticed that my voice is cracking so much too.


"Within the three pairs of hair...two of them matched with each other." I read and my heart almost didn't beat.


"Three? What do you mean?" Chasity suddenly asked.


"The third pair is yours, C. I'm sorry, we didn't tell you," Elaine answered and Chasity just continued to listen to us in shock.


"The two pair of hair that matched are...the ones from the former Chasity Parker that was taken from her hair brush and..." I read and I think my heart couldn't take this anymore. "and...the ones from the corpse of the former Chasity Parker...t-the one taken from the present Chasity Parker did not match any of the two." I read and I think my mind didn't process after that.


We all have that broken and disappointed faces after that, but I can't describe what I look like now. I let go of the papers and they slip out of my hand, tears began to fall from eyes again and I can't even feel my heart beating now. I was wrong...I'm really wrong.


"Patrick, I'm s-sorry." I heard Elaine said beside me and I know she's about to cry too. All of them tried to tell me that they are sorry, but that's not what I wanted to hear.


My body is weakening and my mind is panicking. I can't do this anymore, maybe it's really time for me to accept it...in a hard way.


I stormed out of my house and began to walk mindlessly towards the cemetery. I wanted to shout, I wanted to say to someone how unfair this is, but then again, I'm the one who dragged myself into this. I should just believe it in the first place!


I arrived at the cemetery faster than I can think of and I locked myself in the mausoleum where Chasity's tomb is, and there...I lost it again.


"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for not letting you! I can't imagine the burden you're seeing when I was trying to think that you are alive. I'm sorry, Chasity! I should have just accepted it. I'm so sorry!" those were the words that kept on coming out of my mouth. I can't even say anything more than that, I'm just accepting that I'm a coward that can't even accept her death.


"Patrick! Patrick!" I suddenly heard Chasity's voice outside and before I can react, she's already inside too.


The girl knelt beside me and hugged me, but I was motionless there.


"I'm so sorry! I'm very soory. If I can just be her I would, but I know that will be so wrong. Please, just accept it, Patrick."  she told me.


"I should have...but you came along, giving me the false hope that she may be alive. I was too selfish, for her and you too. But it's hard not to think of her when you're around and it fucking kills me, you made me wish I could turn back time, you made me wish that I could bring her back, but even with that....I know I can't and that makes me so sorry! So sorry for myself, for her and you. I just badly want her to come back...that's all, and you made me believe that she did come back." I said to her while gritting my teeth that they almost shattered.


"You could have had me, Patrick. I'm here for you...to help you cope up, but I was blinded too. I thought I can make it all right for you again, but in fact, I just made it all worse. I should have seen it on first day! If it wasn't for me, I think you've already accepted it. I'm so sorry, Patrick." she told me while crying too.


I just went silent after that because I can't even think of anything to tell her, I'm done believing in anything right now.


*********************************************

*Chasity's P.O.V.*

That's it...game over. It's finished.


My eyes are red and puffed from crying so much nad I know that my brother will notice it. I just can't get the thought out of my head on how disappointed they are when they relly did found out that Chasity is dead and that I was the reason why they thought she can bealive. It was my fault when I was supposed to be the one who's going to mae them all right again, I messed up...most especially with Patrick.


"Chas? What happend to you?!" My brother asked me the moment he opened the door for me.


I immediately hugged him and told him everything that I can with my craking voice, he was just there, hugging me and trying to comfort me. He was also looking at me worriedly and somehow, with guilt on his face too.


"It's not your fault, Chas...it's mine."


"Wh-What do you mean?" I asked him and I seriously looked at him. My brother can't even make an eye contact with me now and I think that something's up with him.


"I...I mean I shouldn't have...have let you work with them in the first place. That's my fault, if I stopped you, all this wouldn't have happened." he explained then quickly hugged me again. I sighed and just let him hold me like that.


"I understand, Chris. But it's not, in the first place it was my identity that made them think I was her." I told him.


"They really do know her a lot." he answered which didn't made any sense to me.
