(Flora's P.O.V)

It was a dark and rainy evening in Ontario, when I finished my work at the library. I was very tired after replacing the old damaged books with the new ones. It's kind of sad how people bring back the books they borrowed in a bad state with coffee stains or folded pages. But as long as they read and bring back the books in a state that's readable and somewhat hygienic it's fine I think.

The work I do isn't tiring but today I was sleepless after getting absorbed in a Thriller I was reading 'til almost 4am and waking up at 10.30am for work. I'm not very much a bookworm but I love the smell of books and the different kinds of emotions they make me feel, like having different identities each time I read. And once I find a book I like, I'd bury myself in it. I had always dreamed of living an adventurous life, hoping for something thrilling. People I had met took me for a boring person. But they never knew, because I never really showed them this side of me. It didn't really matter. I like spending time alone at home as much as going on trips.

I grabbed my bag and cardigan and we made our way out of the library with my co-worker who is also a librarian when the clock hit 8pm. I am very lucky that I'm not working alone here, as it's most of the time almost empty and quiet at this time of the day. I like the quietness but I wouldn't want to be alone here. I was really hungry and wanted to go home as fast as possible. Thanks to my mother, I don't have to worry about cooking and stuff, even though I love cooking.

"Goodbye Clara, see you tomorrow" I said and we parted our ways.

It was still raining heavily and the street was almost empty with few cars passing by. Putting my bag around my shoulder, I held my cardigan over my head to shelter from the rain and stepped on the wet asphalt. To look for the keys, I stopped for a moment and rummaged through my bag.

Never would I have ever imagined that it would be my last day working at the library, when suddenly a car drove from the corner of an alley and drove towards me. I was scared and didn't know what to do. I wanted to move so badly but my body wouldn't move and I just watched the car. It was too late, I knew...

(Abel's P.O.V)

"Oh shit, hey, hey. Can you hear me? Wake up Please..." I shouted, not getting a response.

I can't believe this. This can't be happening. I... I hit someone. What do I do now? Call an ambulance? No no no I can't. My life will be over if I do. Calm down Abel. I'll bring her to the hospital and what next? Yes call mom no dad.

"Dad? Dad help me. I hit someone...."
