The strong smell of alcohol coming from inside the closed room. Carl Brown who barely come back from his long trip break open the door and pushed it wider as he crushed inside only to see Andrew laying on the floor unconscious. The curtain was closed tightly that cause darkness filled the messy room. There were a lot of liquor bottle scattered every-way. The air was thick with depression before him. He has no idea of what actually happening because he can't contact him since a few days ago as his phone has been turned off.
He walk inside and cleared all the bottles and put it aside. He lift unconscious Andrew from the floor to his bed. He was not that strong to lift a big and tall Andrew, so it took a lot of effort from him to do that. He wasn't sure why Andrew let himself to be in this state as he looks normal since the last day they met, he was sure that this guy commit something that he can't handle himself. Even though he was too tough to be in dismayed.
Andrew opened his heavy eyes the very moment he have been lifted from the floor. He can smelt Carl's scent but he pretend to be asleep. The liquor effect on him still kicks in but he was aware of who the person with him. The realization makes his long frozen heart pounding uncontrollably.
"Huh.. you are heavy man.. you know that.. what did you eat all this time.." Carl protest and quickly get up after laid Andrew on his bed carefully. But before he made it, Andrew grab his wrist and yank him down, turn him around and hovered on top of him against the mattress.
His speed action was too fast that leave Carl gaped in shock. His mind struggling to digest of what had happen just now. He stared into Andrews passionate eyes, stunned. Andrew's cheek blushed red but there are no traces of regret nor a words comes from his lips. He lock his eyes intensely into his.
He breath heavily as his eyes down to Carl's lips. The red kissable lips of him looks inviting. His adam's apple gobbled as he gulp down his saliva. Without thinking, he lowered his head. The moment their lips touched, Andrew's close his eyes as his hand sliding into Carl's shirt and caress his skin.
Andrew greedily kissing and sucking Carl's bottom lips passionately. "I really miss you.. Carl.. " he say hoarsely between a kisses. His hot breath more heavier. His sunken eyes full of desire. Carl's didn't bulge a bit to Andrew's passionate behavior. He can't help but enjoyed how Andrew's warm and moist lips touching, caressing and sucking his lips.
Sensed no rejection, Andrew's deepen his kisses and Carl tensed on how soft Andrew's lips against him. He close his eyes as he drown into abyss. His mind become dizzy and he can't think straight. He can feel his breath become heavier and his heart thumping louder. It was his first kiss after all and this dude steal it. Wth.
After struggling to fight his desire, he came into his sense back. Carl push Andrew and he took a long breath before yelling. "Hey..!! hey..!! what are you doing??!! " He say while pushing Andrew aside. But because of the heat of the moment, it sounded like he whispering to him as he struggle to catch his breath.
He stood up abruptly, turn around and racking his hair "Dammit!!.." He closed his eyes and blurt out "You are drunk!!.. did you even know what you are doing??" he bit his swollen lips without looking back.
Andrew close his eyes and groan in disappointment and regret. He is not entirely drunk. He still know what he did but he doesn't know where the courage come from. His heart thumping hard as if he can heard it before his ears. He feel shame but all he want to do now is to confess. He can't hold it anymore. It was painful. He want to say it out loud.
He sit on the bed edge and cover his face with his both hands. Collect himself as he calm his mind. Carl standing with his back facing Andrew. He run his hand through his hair again, panting. He didn't expect to faced this situation. His ears burning red and he racking his mind to find a suitable reason.
As he struggling to find an excuse of what had happen a moment ago, Andrews stood up as he want to explained himself to him but he can't help to slowly snaked his hands around Carl's waist from back. He hug him tightly with his strong arm as if won't to let him go. When he sense no rejection from him, he bend his head down to his shoulder. His hot breath tickled Carl's earlobe as his lips brushing his neck. "Hear me out Carl.." he whispered.

-Sunday 14, 1948 -
The falling raindrop pitter-pattering on the rooftop and hitting on the windows glass surface. The raindrops making a various droplet that trails along a large glass window near Calista bedroom. The cloudy sky that formed together causing a sunny morning to fade.
Calista staring to her reflection on the glass window. The reflection become more clear after the dark clouds in the sky grow thick and darken.
"Will the rain stop sooner?" she mumbling to herself.
Her beautiful large brown iris eyes glint while her pale blonde hair that neatly comb shining under the flash of lightning. She laid her chin on her clasp hand on the edge of the windows sill. She sighed repeatedly to the unpredictable weather.
Originally, she has a plan today and she get ready to go out when she heard a rumbling sound outside and soon after the rain pour in no time. She can't walk out with this weather. She really love raining day but today she want to go to the lake near the manor and spent her evening painting scenery.
"Calista.. why are you standing near the window.. its thundering outside.. you may got struck by lightning. " Calista turn her head and saw her nanny at the door bringing a hot cup.
"Here, have a cup of tea to replenish your body." She gestured a cup that she bring to her and walk inside the room. She placed the cup on a coffee table and walk to the window. She then close the curtain gently and grab Calista arm to lead her sit on the chair beside the coffee table.
"Your father will come back this afternoon.. he call this morning to tell you this, so you can prepared yourself. He want to bring you to find a present for your mother and you may have a dinner with them tonight."
Calista remain quiet to the news. There are no expression on her face. Not because she hate to spent her time with her parents nor did she hate to see them.. but she feel it was useless. Her parents are divorced two years ago. She never questioned it but she know they still love each other. Her father wants to back with her mother but her mother always say that she's comfortable with their situation right now.
"I think I'm not feeling well today.. let me just stay at home.." She say half pleading. "What happen.. did you got cold? let me check your temperature"
"I am fine Alyse.. thank you, I just need a rest.. could you please tell my father.. I don't want to go anywhere." She stand up and sit on her bed. "Oh dear.. what should I do.. your father will disappointed if he know this.. did you still mad at him?" The nanny now sit beside her and pat her head.
"No, not because of that and I don't want to think about that anymore.. I just need my time alone." She look into Alyse eyes in hope that the nanny will believe her and fine with it.
The answer made Alyse sigh but after thinking for sometime she then agreed. "Alright.. have your rest. I will tell your father.." she said and pause ".. Actually, I think they really need a time alone and talk about their stuff.. right?" Alyse wink and give her a pure smile. She remind her to drink her tea before she leave the room.
After the door closed, Calista walk to the coffee table and reach her tea to take a sip. She want to sit down when she caught a glimpse of something flashed at a wall beside her bed.. she abruptly turn her head and chocked to the sight. It was an old mirror that she have never seen before. A beautiful yet antic design with some weird pattern that carving along side the frame.
'Did Alyse put it there? but when she put it? I didn't see it when she came to bring me a tea..' she was curious to the thought.. she gulp and put her tea gently then walk towards the mirror. She stop right in front of it. The mirror placed on the floor and backed against the wall.
She look into the mirror warily and saw her reflection. She frown at the image she saw and realize that there's something weird about it.. "what it is..??" she mumbling to herself.

A loud thunder rumbling continuously. The room floor vibrate slightly that can be felt on a bare foot. Soon after, a crackling sound can be heard from the sky. Calista flinched and her heart thumping fast. It was a thunderstorm. She cup her hand over her both ears. She soon open her eyes slowly when she feels the rumbling sound subsided.
She collect herself and standing in front of the mirror with her hands cupping her ears.. she raised her eyes looking straight to the reflection on the mirror. She saw her image with a curious eyes with hands on her knees and slightly bend forward looking intently to her. She scream in shock and she felt a goosebumps all over her skin before she saw a black out.
"Calista.. Calista...." the sound felt too far to be heard. She try to open her heavy eyes slowly. She flinch to the light but soon after her eyes get used to it, she saw Alyse looking to her worriedly.
"What do you feel.. are you okay?" Alyse placed her hand on Calista's forehead. Calista nod and she recalled of what she saw before she faint. She shot up and sit on her bed abruptly. She peek to the wall behind Alyse where the old mirror were placed. But there's nothing to see.
"What is it..?" Alyse frown and turn her head. "I took it out already" she said with soothed eyes. "Are you scared? that was an old mirror.. who bring it here? did you ask Hermen to placed it here?" Alyse hit her with a various question that shock her even more.
"Calista.. is everything okay?" Alyse start to panic when she saw her face turn pale and her eyes out of focus. She check her temperature again only to found it was normal. She give her a glass of water and lay her on her bed. "Now, how you feel?" Calista smile "I think I am fine" She say and grab the nanny's hands. "Can you stay with me for a while?" She whine.
Alyse smile looking at her adorable behavior. She took care of her since she was born. She knew how much this child hurt by her parents lack of attension. She regard her as her own child. She is a brave girl and she was obedient one. She don't understand why her parents didn't stay here with her. They always busy to build up their carier and always leave her for a business trip. And finally, they decided to divorce two years ago without giving an acceptable reason. Since then, Calista always refuse to met them and become quiet.
"Tell me what happen.. I heard you scream after a loud thunder and faint.. you never scared of thunder before, are you?" she whispered to her. Calista hesitate but eventually tell her about the mirror and what she saw a minute before she faint. Alyse smile to her story and even she want to believe her she still doubt it.
"You know.. sometimes when we are stressed out, everything turn to be weird.. but I believe you know what you see and you know what you do.. isn't it?.." She look into her eyes and inhale deeply, she grab her hand and continued "..whatever it is.. its nothing to worry about." Alyse pat her hand and caress her head while convince her.
"What about the mirror.. you never bring it here right, do you?" She ask in doubt. Her eyes filled with anxiety. Looking at that, Alyse sighed heavily. "Well.. that old Hermen sometimes made a mistakes. He always move something and placed something that he even forgot where it belong. He must put it here unknowingly.. I have to ask him then but i moved it back where it should be.. don't worry.." She says helplessly.
Alyse stood up and tuck her bed. "Anyway.. I have told your father.. and he seems understand your situation. He say that he may back late tonight but he will see you tomorrow morning and want to have a breakfast together with you."
Calista listened to it and nod weakly. She turn her head slightly and pout. A tears flowed from her eyes. She don't know why but she felt hurt. Her parents rarely meet her. They always busy with god know what and leave her with the nanny and old butler. When she say that she didn't feel well, her parents seems okay with it and never ask why.
