To rebuild our home

26

Jon's POV

I sneaked out of my room with the rope in my hands and carefully walked down the stairs without making squeaking sounds, since I wouldn't want them to wake up and stopp me from my plan. This time I was determined to do this, to finish off my life.

I walked to the front door, opened it, looked back for the last time in this big living room I used to know for all these years, where I shared good as well as bad memories with my roommates and left this place.

I closed the door behind me and was on my way to the park, when suddenly one of my next door neighbors came towards me. He was an taler men than I was, wearing a dark blue hoodie, having no eyes and spiked up light brown hair. I think that his name was Tom, but I wasn't to sure since I was awful in remembering names, also I only ever see him and his friends when Eduardo decides to insult them, so I couldn't possibly know anything about him or his friends.

His friends seemed to be fun, but still I wondered why he was walking here down the road so late at night. We walked closer to each other and then past each other in different directions. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks and turned around to me.

Tom's POV

I walked past that person that was our neighbor, the more quiet one who was always getting picked at by Eduardo. I think his name is Jon. I never saw him going anywhere alone, normally he would have been together with his friends anywhere he would go. He would probably question the same thing about me, but I at least don't need to be protected when I go somewhere. Jon on the other hand is weak and therefore would never dare to leave his house alone especially so late at night.

Also there was something else off about him, he seemed upset and was carrying a rope, this doesn't seemed right to me, so I decided to turn around and question him what he was doing here. "Uhm...Jon, what are you doing here so late at night? Aren't you supposed to be back at your home with Eduardo and Mark?" I questioned him and kept in mind that his life was none of my business, still I couldn't silence this curiosity that was bubbling up inside of me.

He flinched when he heard me speak, probably because I startled him with my question, he probably wasn't expecting me to speak up to him all of a sudden. Then he looked around and thought about what he should tell me until he finally spoke up. "I am just taking a walk." He said with a Unsteady voice and with a fake smile plastered on his face. "You are telling me that you are taking a Walk here at 3AM in the morning while carrying a rope with you. I don't believe you." I spat out.

"Well...Uhm...I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing out here at 3AM?" He questioned me back. "I didn't had anymore Smirnoff at home and couldn't sleep so I decided to get a drink at a bar. I was on my way home now" I told him after letting out a sigh. This was the truth I only wanted to get a drink and besides that I would often do this, so I wasn't afraid that anything would happen to me at this time. Also I wouldn't drink too much, because I needed to stay somewhat sober so that I could walk back home. Edd hated it when I drank, so he got rid of all my Smirnoff and this was the only way to drink without him knowing.

Jon let out a sigh now and spoke up one last time before he turned around and continued his way. "Well then have a good walk home and sleep well." He said to me with a shaky voice.

I don't know what he is going to do or what led to him to behave this strange, but whatever he is going to do it doesn't seem to be something good. Eduardo has probably kicked him out of the house or something, that would explain why he was wandering around here, but this wouldn't explain the rope that he was carrying with him.
