Chapter 21I was sitting on the stairs that lead to Xavier's house. I could have ran further, maybe ran home but my tears were so heavy and uncontrollable, I didn't want anything bad to happen again so I just sat down there reminiscing on my life.I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned swiftly to know who it was, "Bethel." I crooked, she gave me a pale look and sat next to me.I turned my face away and gaze at the setting sun, for the first time I felt relaxed. I should give my body some peace too, right? The cool evening breeze swept my hair backwards, making strands fall into my mouth."The evening is so cool." Bethel cooed and I stared at nothingness."Yeah. And so beautiful." I muttered slowly.

Xavier isn't dead, right?
Chapter 22Seconds, minutes or hours passed, I don’t really know but it just felt like I had been paralyzed by a strong force holding me rigid for eternity. My head tightened in vice-like grip, the only thing moving were my fingers against my phone. It was trembling beyond control. Tossing my phone across my room which luckily landed on my table rug, I collapsed on the bed. Different thoughts, all the fears and anxiety were niggling at me but I fought to push them away.

Right now I want a genie to appear here and grant me just one wish. “I wish everything, all these is just a horrible dream and when I wake up everything will be over.

Shouldn't I just die!
Chapter 24If I say the latest happenings weren't drifting life out of me I would be a terrible liar, I am bent under my reading table crying my eyes out.I miss him, I miss him so much that I can't find any sleep. At some point Xavier was there for me, he was the only one by my side. He walked dude by side with me when Royce died, from the police station to the court.Was it love, comfort, belonging? He was more than that to me and I feel so horrible he had to die in my hands. Why him? I thought the game kills people that I love, or is it because of the soft spot I was garnering for him that he died next.Fuck! What am I saying? I can't deny the fact that I like Xavier but it's just that out of all my friends he's the one I like less.

Last night I slept in a very uncomfortable position
