-Chapter Fifty Three-

A few weeks later,

It is a school-award ceremony.

Roy and Renny stand at the auditorium.

Ramon and I are cheering them on at the top of our voices. 

Both boys are being awarded. Renny is getting an award for the best solo verse and Roy is receiving an award for the best poem. I am so proud of the two little boys and the work they have done with the pieces.

I wish Eric was here to witness his son making him proud. But he had to be in hospital since Karla is getting discharged today.

The doctors informed us that Karla was very lucky that the bullets didn't kill her. She was injured severely and bleeding profusely. It is honestly a miracle that she did not die on the spot.

Ramon stops clapping for the boys and darts a glance at me.
