MARLON

Seeing Bernice like that on the ground has left something inside of me snapped.

It takes me back to six years ago, when I found my sister curled up in her bed crying.

She had sneaked past our ridiculously expensive minders to go to a party, and someone spiked her drink.

She was sexually assaulted, her entire body was violated by the bastard, but somehow she made it back home.

We could have told Dad, he had the money to track down the bastard that did that to his favorite child, and h

    169. LUTHER Right in our eyes, Nancy Huston goes dumb, maybe because she didn't think they would bring this up, especially since the deaths have been after almost ten years. She first reaches and waves off the strands away from her face. "I-i don't understand why my dead husband or his dead ex-wife and child is being brought up now," she straighten her back. "Is this just a heartless questioning tactic? Because I want justice for my daughter?" Quietly, my mother and I sit at the back, but somehow, we are no longer a part of what's happening. It's now Nancy Huston against the police. Two files are dropped in front of her, and I can see the clean film of dust on the covers. They have been in existence for a while now. "Mrs Huston, please answer these questions truthfully, if you want our help," the first police officer urges her. "Of course, I do!" "Then kindly tell us what happened to your husband again. Tell us from the beginning. When you met Jamie Huston." The amount of

    168. MARLON I've never been one to believe in God, or miracles, but I certainly do today. I laugh so hard that even Luther and the police man look at me like I have gone crazy or something. The police officer stands up, "Now, my colleague and I will go and tell Mrs Huston about the latest developments on the ground." He walks out of the room, and Luther exhales through his mouth, and I snort at him. What's he still so bothered about? "You've got to tell them that you were there," I told him. "What? But that's not right! I was at home, worrying about my mother when Bernice died!""Don't you want to win a bit of money from this? You can sue the hell out of that woman," "You want me to sue her? Marlon, her only daughter, died! Why don't we give her a little more grace?" My lips are parted in shock, I can't believe that Luther actually said that. He is too good for himself, and sometimes it just irritates me. I pull my chair close and look at him the way one would look at a stub

    167. LUTHER I hold my breath, because this can't be real. I can literally feel hundreds of eyes pushing me into the ground. Honestly, I wish I could disappear right now. My mother warned me, she foresaw the future, but I was feeling so guilty about Bernice that I chose to come to her service of songs. Her mother's eyes are bloodshot and her facial veins are popping like crazy. Her brutal finger is pointed directed at me, and no matter how much I try to dodge it, it always finds me. "Oh my God, the new kid killed Bernice?!" "What the hell?" "Why hasn't he been arrested?" I look to my left, my throat rippling with anxiety, as my eyes try to find the only person that can help me. Marlon. He looks just as terrified as I am, but the way his shoulders are stiff and his eyes are shaking, I am sadly on my own. Even Maybelline looks like she could cry for me, but I won't be getting any help from them today. Fortunately, everyone is in a bit of shock, so that gives me enough time to

    166. MARLON His lips twists up, and I immediately know that he didn't like my sarcastic joke. In fact, he turns around to leave, but May dashes out of the room and pulls him into a hug. "Don't listen to Marlon, Luther, he is just being very mean today," she pouts. I can't believe it, he has a smile on his face. He is more happy to see my sister. Thank God that William's room is not a cube sized coffin, so all four of us can stay in here comfortably. I sit at one end of the room, and Luther sits at the other. He won't even look at me. William winces every now and then, as May checks on his wound. It's been only about a day and half since he got shot, but we are very thankful that the wound did not get infected or anything. "My mum has been asking why I have been wearing hoodies all day," he runs his hands over his eyes. "Oh, poor Mrs Feynman," May sighs. "She would totally freak out if she finds out." "What happened to him?" Luther blurts, making everyone look at him. "Oh

    165. MARLON Mrs Hudson has always been very soft and fond towards me, but now, all of that has disappeared. There is a kind of hostility in her eyes that I thought I would ever see. "I... Um." I wipe my hand over my mouth. "This is very awkward and stupid, but I thought I heard someone in the room." She scoffs, bites down her lower lip, and then looks away. "Are you trying to mock me?" "Excuse me?" "You thought you heard someone in my late daughter's room?!" "I didn't mean it like that, I'll go." I am already walking back to the door. I should have just gone straight to the damn restroom. "Bernice told me your secret before she died, you know," Mrs Hudson drops the bomb, and suddenly, I can't move anymore. My hand is firmly against the doorknob, but my entire body is frozen. What was I even thinking to believe Bernice when I said that she didn't tell her mum? They are cut from the same evil cloth, of course she told her mother. Managing to gain back control of myself, I tu

    164. MARLON I stop dead, because I can't believe what I have heard. "What?" He sighs at the other end, and from the ruffling, I know he is pacing around whatever room he is in. "Look, just tell me the truth, I can take it!" He insists. "The truth about what, Luther? Are you insane? Why would you even think that I could kill someone?" "Why are you yelling?!" "I'm yelling?! You fucking think I killed her?!" "It's just a question!" "Do you think I can actually do something like that? Am I the devil?!" I laugh incredulously. "Luther, please tell me that you are fucking joking!" It's crazy because I know that he is not trying to pull my legs or something. I can hear the raw sincerity in his voice. The way his breath moves up and down. "Well, what do you want me to think, Marlon? She was a threat to us, she said that she is going to expose us!" Luther defends himself. "She was even going to force you to get married to her... And she is suddenly gone?!" I shut my eyes as I slap m

    LUTHER The words get all entwined and I can't come up with a good enough lie to tell my mother, and she rolls her eyes at me. "Oh, Luther, do you think I was born yesterday? Are you trying to lie to me?" "I'm not trying to lie, mum. Maybe it was the wind that you heard. Sometimes, when it's a l

    MARLON I had no idea that my father came back into the country last night. I thought I heard Maybelline squeaking when she welcomed him back home, but I thought that it was just a dream. Until I look out of the window and watch the staff greeting him, and a scowl leaves my lips. It's not like I

    LUTHER I was just going to teach Marlon a little lesson for treating me so coldly, but what I didn't expect is for that single act to send both of us into the nurse's office. Marlon has suffered a very terrible black eye, and he can't even open it. It's growing bigger and bigger, like a ball.

    LUTHER Standing in front of the Hudson mansion, this is the last place I would want to be right now. I adjust the sleeves of my leather jacket before raising my hand to ring the bell. I haven't brought any flowers for Bernice this time around. All the kindness I had for her has been replaced wit
