"An idol who always cry when she performs."

That's the words they always say about me. My fans said that they feel the pain and the story of my songs when I'm singing. Heartfelt, painful, relatable, little did they know that i sing that way because of a person I will never forget. The person who became the reason of my success.

"Hey, Ace. if i became an idol in the future will you stay by my side?" I said speaking lowly while he's playing with his phone.

He put his phone down and looked at me with a smile.

"How could I not be in that moment. I promise I will."

He hold my hand and pulled me close for a hug.

The warmth and sweetness of his scent. I feel protected and safe. He supports me even if he knows how hard my situation was.

He stayed by my side, untill i become very ill. I was laying on the hospital bed when the doctor came and said to my parents.

"Im sorry, she needs a heart transplant as soon as possible. If we dont get a donor by tomorrow I'm afraid we will have to say good bye to her."

Tears rushed down from their eyes. Ace fell down on his knees and cried beside me.

"Dont leave me Shein, I cant go on without you. We will still reach you dream, okay? Promise me okay?" I felt pain looking at him.

I tried to hold his cheeks and wiped his tears.

"I-i promise, w-we will"

I felt sleepy all of a sudden. When i wake up in the morning I didn't see Ace.

My parents come up to me with a sad face and said that there is one donor who is willing to donate his heart.

Im happy I still am worried, I keep on asking where is Ace but they said they didn't know. They said that maybe Ace went home to feed the dogs.

A long hour have passed and the operation was successful. I'm feel fine but I still didn't see Ace.

I asked my parents for the last time.

"Mom, Dad please be honest I didn't saw Ace since yesterday. I miss him where is he?"

My mom began to cry and kneel before me.

She hold my hand and repeatedly say that they were sorry

"We're sorry, We are so sorry darling. W-We tried to stop him, H-He was the one who donated the heart"

I felt like i was stabbed with a millions of dagger in my chest. I cried.

"N-no! T-thats not true right! Mom! Tell me this is a joke!"

They shaked their heads and cry. I get out of my bed and ran towards the room he was in.

I frozed in my spot when I saw his lifeless cold body.

I falled to the floor and the tear once again rushed to fall out of me.

I went closer to his body.

"A-ace, stop this. Please stop! Wake up! Stop joking around! Y-You promised right?! y-you said we will reach our dreams together! H-How cruel of you to leave me! Y-You broked your promise. I told you over and over again go on without me if Im gone right! Right?!"

"Ace, D-Dont do this to me"

Yet I was too late. Even if I beg all the gods and saints to bring him back I know that, that will never happen.

*Present time*

Its my final concert, here in Seoul. August 23 also the same date when I lost him.

Cold breeze began to hug my body and the crowds cheer while I was singing makes me feel better just like how Ace hugs me.

"Thank you for tonight! And for the final song, Heartless"

Their loud cheer is music itself to my ears.

As I sing its like im going back to the past. Feeling the pain over again.

♪How cruel of you, How cruel of you, you left me alone and break my heart to two, Don't be so kind, Just stop it I! I just cant take this anymore. It's painful, It's sorrowful, Don't leave me, Hey stay with me, You're Heartless♪

It was summer that time when the most painful thing happened to me. I lost my friend, My best friend who I grew up with. Who I cherished the most.

Macco Mechailis, a young man who is so inlove with his best friend.

Macco's POV

Its been 16 years since Leigh and I became best friends.

"Hey! Macco! yoohoo earth to Macco?" Leigh said while shacking me up.

"Yah! what the hell are you doing ya crazy cookoo" I shouted because I began being dizzy.

"Opps sorry. I shaked you cuz you're not listening to me" she sad in a low voice.

I was shocked when I looked at her she was about to cry.

"Hey, Leigh is there a problem?"

"Nope" She said and looked away.

"Oh by the wat Macco dint forget our trip to the suicide forest next week it's part of the dare we played last friday." she said happily.

"yeah sure how would I forget about it"

I didn't know that, That would be our last conversation.

The time finally came when we went to the suicide forest. Though its scary we managed to get in. But I never know that I will be the only one getting out.

"Leigh! Leigh! where the heck are you!" I shouted at the entrance.

I was so scared I thought she was just behind me.

"Leigh! please! c-come out there"

I called the police. It took us hours and days. And finally we saw her.

We finally saw her, but she's lifeless. I frozed at my place when i saw her body hanging on a tree. Tears began to rush down my cheeks. not knowing why the hell and who the hell did that to her.

When the authorities finally get her body down I rushed to hug her cold body.

I cried and beg every saints to give her back but I know that, that will never happen.

I cant eat, I cant sleep, I cried almost everyday. Until the day of her funeral.

A letter was handed to me by her mother. She said that she saw the letter inside Leigh's bag.

Tears began to fall again as i felt a million daggers stabbing my heart.

'Dear Macco,

I know its selfish of me to say it to you this way. But im afraid that I cant tell you this face to face. Its very painful for me to do but I made up my mind. Im sorry if I will take my life. I've been so depressed and the pain that im feeling has no more space to place. I love you. I know this is straight forward but, you see. I cant say this to you face to face and i know you will not accept a dirty, filthy woman like me.

My father raped me countless times and my mother didn't know. I hate myself for that. And that's the reason of all this stupidity that Im gonna do. Im so sorry, Its been really hard for me. I hope you'll understand.

I love you good bye.

Leigh'

Pain, Hate, Anger. Many emotions that I felt. I stand in front of her grave and kneeled.

Tears, tears. All i can do is to cry because of loosing my best friend, the woman i love.

"Im sorry, Im sorry I cant do anything for you. Im sorry i didn't listen. Im sorry I'm sorry" Countless sorry, Countless regrets.

Even a million prayers wont bring you back to me. Our final moment together in that suicide forest. I will remember for the rest of my life.

Te Amo Leigh.

It was a dark rainy night. Me and my friends decided to drive and buy some foods because we were having a sleepover.

As I was driving on the street, an unfamiliar sign caught my eyes. Beside the sign was a lady, She was crying.

As a curious person and out of pity, me and Jessie, my friend decided to talk to the lady and convince her to let us take her to her home.

"Please ma'am, it's raining so hard. Do tell us where you live and we will take you there"

"I-i don't think you can drive me home"

"I'm pretty sure we can, please let us help you"

She just stood there and looked at us like she was about to burst in tears again. We became quite for a second. And out of nowhere she decided to speak.

"Street 55, Near Sunburst bridge. T-thats where I live"

After she said the location, we guided her in to the car and drove. As I was driving, Jessie was talking to her.

"**Miss what happened to you, why were you crying?"

"M-my boyfriend broke up with me"

"Ah, what a bummer, I'm sorry to hear that**"

Their conversation goes on and on. And finally we reached out destination. The lady got out of the car and waved goodbye. She thanked us for driving her home.

It was a fun ride, Not until we reached my house and told the story to my older sister.

.

"**Street 55?!"

"Yeah, that's where we dropped her off. She said she lived there"

"Alice! did you know that, that street was notorious as a killing and raping sight?!"

"Dude you're joking right?"

"No! I had a classmate once, We were second year back then. Her boyfriend called her to go to Street 55 Sunburst Bridge. We thought he was going to surprise her, But he didn't. He broke up with her and left her there. Some of her boyfriends, friends came up to her and raped her. After they molested her they throw her on the river."

"H-how?! How did you know this?!"

"I was with her that time, She saved my life**".

Chills stared to get to me and Jessie. I was so freaked out. I couldn't sleep that night.

A week after, There was a news in that a girl was murdered in the same street, same place, same location. Then, a picture of the victim appeared on the TV screen. I dropped my phone and begin to tremble.

The victim was my best friend, Jessie...

I quickly went to that place and by the time I got there, Many people and police officers were there.

I was devastated and candy help my self from crying.

"Jessie!!!"

The police officers stopped me from goin near her cold body. Out of the corner of my eyes, I once saw again the girl that we helped to get to this place.

She looked at me and grinned. In a blink of an eye she's no longer there.

A month later, Me and my sister found out that Jessie's brother is the one who murdered her. He confessed that when Jessie told the story about the girl we helped and the creepy story about her. He started to loose his mind. It turns out that he was one of the person who raped the girl. He was afraid that Jessie would find out and tell the truth, that is why he killed her.

He was sentenced with life imprisonment. But for me, that punishment was never enough.

He took the life of his sister, my best friend. On the same street where he also committed his first crime. The Street of the dead, raped and murdered....

Beware of Street 55.
