"Grand Piano"

7/7- the end

Soft violin music played in the background as everyone that Jacob once knew filed into the room. Jacob's mom was in the front of the line.

She was already crying. She hadn't gotten to speak to or see her son in almost two years and when she does, he's dead.

Rida's behind her. The first thing she though of when she got the news: I knew it.

Rayan had his arm around her shoulders and there were maybe 100 other people behind them.

Jacob was watching.

He kept thinking how stupid he was for not listening to anyone, for not listening.

Chresanto wasn't there. He was taken to jail after he turned himself in.

Even after Jacob was dead at the hands of Chresanto, he still loved him. He can't stop living him. He just knows now that Chresanto never loved him.
