When Jackie finally looked up, she couldn't believe the person she saw standing in front of her. It was Lily, the ex-girlfriend of Jackie's boyfriend, Braun. Jackie trembled and said:

- Lily, is that... is that you? You hanged yourself after my boyfriend broke up with you.

Lily sneered and replied:

- Yes, it's me, the one you stole your boyfriend from.

- No, it was Braun who broke up with you, I didn't...

- You shut up, you seduced him

When Jackie finally looked up, she couldn't believe the person she saw standing in front of her. It was Lily, the ex-girlfriend of Jackie's boyfriend, Braun. Trembling Jackie said:

- Lily, is that... is that you? You hanged yourself after my boyfriend broke up with you.

Lily sneered and replied:

- Yes, it's me, the one you stole friend and boyfriend from.

- No, it was Braun who broke up with you, I didn't...

- You shut up, you seduced him. I won’t forgive you! I will make you and him regret. - Lily said in a sinister way and suddenly, she stabs Jackie.

- NO! - Jackie screamed.

- Jackie! Jackie! - A voice rang out.

Jackie woke up. The one sitting next to her was Braun. He asked nervously:

- Why did you scream? You had a nightmare, didn't you?

- No, nothing. I ... I just dreamt about Lily.

- You don't need to think about her. Before I met you, she was already grumpy and she always quarreled with me. So, don't worry, she deserved with what she had. And – Braun turned to a cheerful voice – do you want to hang out with me this weekend?

- Of course. That’s so great! I can’t wait! But, where will we go?

- Hum … I want to go a little far. Supai village in Arizona is a very wonderful and interesting place to visit!

- But … it’s Lily’s hometown and … it is … it is where she hanged herself. – Jackie said dreamily.

- Oops! Why do you always think about her? Please, erase her image from your mind.

- Ok, ok. So we will go on Sunday, is that day ok?

- That’s day is good and you should prepare lunch meal and if possible, dinner too.

- Yes. Oh, it’s already really late. I have to go now. Bye.

- Bye.

***AT THE WEEKEND***

Jackie and Braun came to Supai. They laughed and talked happily, they didn’t know that they will meet something very terrible. While they were driving to the village, they suddenly stopped in front of a rough road to a murky forest. Braun said:

- I think we should stop the car here and walk. I remember that the Internet didn’t mention to this forest. However, I think we won’t get lost and, a little bit of adventure is also quite interesting.

- That’s right.

After a long time walking, they stopped in front of a house. Jackie said:

- Um. I forgot to bring water and I feel thirsty. I hope this house will have water.

- Ok. Let me call the house host. Is there anyone here? – Braun asked.

But no one answered. Suddenly, the door was opened and Braun was sucked into the house and the door was closed again. Jackie felt really nervous and she shouted: “Braun, are you ok?” However, Braun didn’t reply. Jackie eventually came into the house and she can’t believe that she saw Braun was hanging.

- Braun! Braun! What happened with you? – Jackie cried and said.

And she saw sitting near Braun’s corpse was Lily.

- Lily, Lily. You hanged him, didn't you.

- Yes.

- Why? You want to kill me so you can kill me but why do you kill him?

- Ha ha. I won’t kill you, I want you won’t have any boyfriend and what police will say when they saw this corpse and you?

- You killed Braun. So now, please kill me. – Jackie cried.

- I repeat again I won’t kill you. But, I will make you disappear, no want will see you. You will feel the ultimate loneliness that I have been through.

 Then Lily and Jackie disappeared. No one knows where Jackie is. People rumored that she is still alive and living with solitude until death.
