"Ah..Your house is so nostalgic, Eve! I remember all of this!" Adam smiled weakly, his chest still hurt."O-Oh- Thank you! I..Appreciate it!"
"Mhm."
Mark noticed that Evelin was nervous..Nearly shaking from nervousness.
"Oh, are you alright, Eve?"
"Huh? No, I'm fine! Don't worry about..Uh..Me."
Mark was skeptical, even a little nervous than usual.
They all sat down on the couch.
"What can I get you guys? Coffee? Tea?"
"I'll be alright..Uhm..We just wanted to catch up, y'know?"
"Yeah! I- O-Of course!"
Evelin smiled at the two, Mark forced a smile.
Mark heard muffled talking.
"I hear something..Is everything alright, Evelin? Something you aren't telling us?"
"Huh!? Oh— No, no it's fine."
Mark also noticed that Evelin seemed..Aggravated. Like something was annoying her, was it his and Adams presence? He honestly didn't know, nor did he really care. It wasn't worth the risk anyway.
Then he heard it.
The sound of a gun going off, Adam jumped and Mark stood up."What the fuck was that?"
"I-Im sure it was nothing!"
"Move."
Mark pushed Evelin out the way as she tried to stop him, he looked downstairs.
He saw Jonah, tied up to a chair with a gun to his head.
So Jonah wasn't actually dead..Seemed like a warning shot.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"
Cesar jumped, looking back to see the angry brunette.
"Oh! Maaarrkkk..It's you!"
Mark realized the fake soothing voice he was trying to replicate.
"I expected you to kill yourself a long time ago..Like how y'know..Your sister tried to."
Mark froze, angry at Cesar for ever bringing that up again.
"DON'T YOU BRING MY SISTER INTO THIS!"
Mark began to walk down the stairs but soon realized that Cesar was close to pulling the trigger.
"MARK!- STOP- STOP WALKING!" Jonah yelled out to Mark, making him stop in his tracks. Mark closely at Jonah, who was hyperventilating and crying.
"Jonah-"
"God. You're so fucking useless..Mark, you should've killed yourself a long time ago."
Mark was getting caught in Cesar's manipulation again. Starting to believe his words.
I mean he couldn't even save his own friends.
He heard a thud, and then a whoosh.
Mark looked at Cesar, to see a knife impaled in his chest.
"Nn—"
Cesar stumbled back, falling onto the wall and passing out.
Mark looked back to see Adam, the one who knocked out Evelin and threw the knife at Cesar.
They didn't have any words, the two just went downstairs and untied Jonah, who was shaking all over.
"Okay..L..Let's go."
