Amy kept spending time with Will, her new boyfriend, that she began to neglect her tight friendship with Alex. Drinks that Alex bought for her went wasted, promises were left unfulfilled and eventually, even their studying dates got cancelled. For Alex, this was the last straw. Jason's words to him lingered in his ear as he finally comprehended the true meaning of those words. A plan began to form in Alex's brain as he figured out his next steps to confront with the problem he had on hand.
Amy hadn't seen Alex for a week or so. Contacting him proved fruitless, asking his friends was useless. It seemed like he just disappeared without trace from the face of Earth. What with so much going on in her head, it did not help at all that Will grew tired of her because of her seemingly obsession over Alex's disappearance. It wasn't long before Amy caught Will cheating on her with another freshman, but somehow, she wasn't as heartbroken as she had expected she would be. Worrying about Alex took up so much of her mind and focus that even breaking up with Will didn't falter her at all. So when Amy finally found a piece of note slipped between the pages of her book from Alex, she was overwhelmed with relief. The contents of the note were simple. It just read, 'Rooftop. 15/7, 9 a.m. ' .
Amy walked up the stairs to the rooftop of the isolated building where she used to have heart-to-heart talks with Alex before she met Will. Making her way upwards reminded her of the precious memories when she used to drag Alex with her to watch the sunrise from the panoramic view from the rooftop. Gasping for breath, she leaped up the final stretch of stairs. Amy stopped short as she took in her surroundings. She took one step.. and then two before halting again.
