Chapter 2

The Lake Of Loneliness

12pm

I could here the town clock struck midnight as I stepped out of the hospital door. The weather outside started to grew cold as the autumn wind started to blew stronger with ever steps that I took. I looked up at the clear night sky and admired the beautiful stars that twinkled like it’s saying hello to me up there. They are just so beautiful aren’t they. But even with such beauty within this nature around me, it seems to be no use. The news that I’ve just received from the doctor is still as it is. Nothing could changed what the doctor had just said.

“I’ve sorry Michelle,” I could hear his voice echoed back into my mind. “You have only one day to live”

Those words bring tears to my eyes once more. I know that I’m only an ordinary 22 year old orphan with no family that cared and loved me, but I still got my best friend Rain who cared for me as though I’m her blooded sister. She has always been there for me in the good times and bad. If I go back home now, I couldn’t help myself but tell her the unfortunate new, which will ruin her birthday for sure. I just die somewhere where someone will happen to find me then she might get over my death more easily then be with me knowing that I might die any second. So here I am wondering around the street of Sherlock not knowing where will my feets leads me to.

Not long after I left the hospital, I’ve found myself walking along the great lake of Sherlock. It was this lake that had turned me to what I am today. I could still remember 14 years ago before my family has left me, I was only 8 years old. At that time I was still an innocent young girl and didn’t know that the world around me was full of lies and greed. I could still remember clearly that it was a Saturday and it was the first day that our family had moved to this place. We didn’t know anyone and is not really sure where to go. There was this man that lived next door to us that offered to help us organise everything. On that Saturday he lend us his boat so we can cruise around the lake. However that the boat was purposely damaged by him and has cause us to drown. Luckily we managed to swim to dry land but that guy didn’t let us go that easily. That night I witnessed the death of my father, mother and older brother whom was killed by that man right in front of my eyes. People would say that I was lucky to be saved by a passing police but how can it be lucky when from that day on, I no longer have a family.

This lake has brought back so many miserable memories to me. That is also the reason why I never really visit this park of the town, not even when all of my friend insists me to come with them. It’s just too hard to face the truth that’s all. However today is different, I have to come back here just remember for the last time how unfortunate I am. Plus to see for the last time the lake, which I always called the lake of loneliness.

I walked over to the tree that was planted near the edge of the lake and stared out at the water. The cool sense of the water blew across my face as I keep on staring. Suddenly for some reasons clouds started covered the light from that moon causing darkness to fall around me. I clutched onto the tree even tighter making sure that I’m safe. Slowly, very slowly the night-light started to come back and shone mostly onto the bridge near by. I was surprise to see that on the bridge sat this guy. I don’t know when or why he was sitting there, but it seems like god had directed me to him and is telling me that I’m destined to know him or something.
