my "friend"

8

Marco left the room, I followed him. I yelled, "Marco you are not leaving this place!"

Marco started crying and screaming, I tried to calm him down. but he ran to the bathroom and locked the door, I screamed, "Marco open the door!"

no response, then I heard an animalistic roar coming from inside. Then there was a loud noise, like someone kicked the door, Marco's voice came from within the bathroom, "please, just let me die..."
My heart felt heavy, he wants to kill himself? I couldn't bear to think that.

I kicked the door open, and Marco was on the floor covered in blood.
"Marco, please tell me what's going on!" I begged desperately.
He stayed silent. I took a step closer to him, when I touched him, he jumped away from me,

I started crying, I asked gently, "what's wrong? why would you want to end your life?"

Marco said with dispare innhis voice, "Mr Smith he... he..."

he started crying,  I hugged Marco and shushed him gently. I rocked him gently, "shhh baby, it's ok I won't let anyone hurt you anymore".
Then he grabbed onto me tightly, I stroked his hair lovingly.
he sobbed and whimpered incoherently. Then he started shaking violently.

he got up and took off,  running outside in only his pants. I ran after him,  but he was nowhere to be seen. I looked everywhere in the garden,  he wasn't anywhere to be found.
I ran back inside, my heart racing. I called Marco's name over and over again. But no answer.
After a long time of calling Marco, I fell onto my ass and passed out.

-time skip-

I was awaken by someone, they said, "hey Jean, let get you home."

I was half asleep then I heard someone say, "guys I think I found someone."

I lead to the voice and saw a decomposing body of... no... it can't be I was chasing after him in the forest and this body has been here for approximately 5 weeks.
