Their families had a good relationship with each other. Hence, he would see her almost every day. Old Mr, Russell adored her dearly and advised Dexter, “Leanne’s family is still new to the area. We have to help them out. She’s younger than you, so be a nice older brother and take her outside to play, alright?” 

“I don’t want to play with her.” 

As soon as he said that, her sweet voice was heard from downstairs, “Dex, it’s time to go to school!” 

Dexter covered his ears and kept silent. 

Her family was busy and didn’t have time to pick her up from school. They had to rely on the Russell Family to take her home after school. 

It was raining that day. Dexter ran back home by himself without waiting for her. 

There was no one at home. The sky had already turned dark by the time he completed his homework. There was no noise downstairs, and the rain was still pouring heavily. 

He took a deep breath and ran out of his house with two umbrellas. Before long, he saw Leanne carrying her bag and walking under the rain. Her hair and clothes were completely drenched. As she lifted her head, her eyes widened and sparkled with joy. When she realized Dexter wasn’t angry with her, she delightedly ran over to him, calling, “Dex!” 

Dexter passed her the umbrella and muttered, “Can’t you wait for the rain to stop? You fool.” 

“But no one else was in the school, so I had to come home alone. I thought something bad had happened to you. I got scared thinking about it. I’m so happy you’re okay, Dex.” 

Dexter felt his heart melt instantly from her sweet and pure intentions. He held her cold and wet hands and said gently, “I’ll take you home.” 

Their friendship bloomed on this rainy night. 

From the age of seven, until he turned fifteen, he watched himself and a little girl grow up together, witnessing her transformation into a lovely young lady. He had thought that this would last forever. He wouldn’t have minded if she was not accepted into their preferred college, as he was willing to put up with a lesser–known school to be with her. 

But he couldn’t have expected what would happen after. Over the course of one night, all of his hopes and dreams were shattered. 

After that rainy night, Dexter was traumatized, and his emotional wound wouldn’t heal. No matter how many years had passed, the incident still lingered in his mind and continued to haunt him in his dreams.

It was Ivy. She had never seen Dexter in such a pitiful and dreadful state. She couldn’t believe her eyes. 

He wiped the tear at the of his eyes and growled, “Leave.”
