I woke up in my bed, it's the start of a new day. Well, I'm not sure if I can really say new, it's still Monday.

The rain falls, even more than before. But I now have more information.

I remember Lucien telling me about Douglas's story, and about a proof that he killed his girlfriend.

He told me his address, but I didn't hear it fully, I'll just go in every house near the town's hall.

"Hey Kate!" I hear as I step outside. Today, I'm sure I can change the fate of this repeating day.

"I'll see you later, sorry." I say those words as I run toward my goal, I don't have time to lose.

I leave a confused Douglas alone as I go to Lucien's house.

After an hour of searching, I find his house, rather his father's house.

I make sure no one's in as I sneak in, I'm not the kind of person to go against the law usually.

I go to Lucien's room, I don't think I'll find anything worth it in other places.

As I search his room, I find a wooden box, it looks so out of place. The rest of his bedroom his way less messy, but this box seem well taken care of.

As I open the lock, I see a knife inside, it still has blood on it. It feels weird to see it, but I've seen it before.

It's the knife Douglas used on himself yesterday, just thinking about it make me sick.

I don't find anything else, so I head toward the exit, only to find Lucien coming in.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Thankfully i hided the box in my bag, but I'm still in trouble.

"Did Douglas really killed her?" I said without thinking.

"Where have you heard of that? I'm gonna call the police!" No! I don't have time for that, and it doesn't seem he wants to talk.

I take advantage of a moment where he doesn't pay as much attention to run away, I really hope this nightmare will end soon.*

As I run toward my house, I see Douglas on the way home, he's not supposed to be here.

"Katelyne, you're acting weird today."

"Did you followed me?"

"I wasn't gonna let you go like that." He sound scary, he's getting closer, did he really kill her? Is he a bad guy?

I close my eyes, shaking in fear, but at the moment I expected pain I feel the warmth of his body. He's... hugging me?

"I don't know why you looked so distressed today, I just want you to get better." He said as he stopped to hold me.

"You're not going to kill me for searching too much?"

"Why would I do that? Or did Lucien told you about her?"

"No he didn't, I searched by myself."

"How could you have known?" When I see his eyes full of worry, I can't bring myself to lie anymore.

"It's not the first I live this day, I already know how it's going to end. Lucien will come to get your guitar, you'll die, I'll sleep, and that day will start again and again." I see he's shocked by his answer, but strangely he seems to believe it.

"And why did you try to know about my past?"

"I wanted to save you."

"Why?" 

"Since I'm a child I always lived alone, I did all I could to live a normal life. Not being in trouble, thinking only for myself.

I lost a lot in my childhood and I don't want to lose anything again. At first, I believed the best way to do that was to just ignore everyone, but now I want to protect what I have instead of running away." I don't know why I told that, maybe I started to trust him somehow.

"Continue to live like you used to, you shouldn't try to save me." He starts to walk away, but I pull out the wooden box i "borrowed" to Lucien.

"Where did you get that?"

"It's not important for now. Is it the knife with which you killed her?" He sights and take the knife in his hand, as if it holds many memories."

"I didn't kill her, she committed suicide, and I was the first to find her. It's a knife I often use, so I figured the police would accuse me based on that, so i hided it. Lucien found it and said he would tell the police if I don't give him money every month."

I understand now, I knew he wasn't that kind of guy.

"Since I lost my job, it has been hard for me, so he told me to just give him my guitar if I couldn't pay."

"But now you don't have to pay him, you just have to throw the knife away."

"No, I want to keep it, it's important for me." Well there are no problems keeping it I guess, I just hope I managed to change the fate of today.

The hours pass, I tell him more about me and tell me more about him. It was a pleasant time, away from all worry.

The rain still falls but this time it doesn't fell bad, I actually may like the rain.

After a while, Douglas started to get more serious.

"Do you think it's possible to live a good life after all that happen?" He asked while holding the blade cleaned by the rain.

"I don't think, I know it is." It's 11 pm already, the end of the day will be soon.

"I promise it will be alright, you just have to keep on living." I give him a letter, I wrote it this morning, maybe I knew it would be the last day.

"Read it tomorrow, everything will get better." I give him a kiss on the cheek, I think more for me than for him.

The rain goes stronger.

"Tomorrow will be my birthday, if you want to give me a good gift, live a good life."

"You say that like you're going to leave." I can't look at him in the eyes, I don't know why, but I feel it's the last day for me, I did what I needed to do.

I can see despite the rain his eyes start to cry for a bit, I feel sad that I won't be here, but he'll manage.

It's almost midnight.

He tries to say something, but I can't hear it. It's okay, I'm not scared. I lived those last days like I wanted too.

Midnight is here.

It still rains and I love it.
