Worse Than Giving Up

Chapter 27

Nath's POV

I look at Sven who's laying on our bed, and I decide to let him do that, because he already ignored me when I was trying to talk with him.

"I'm going to call Banjamin to tell him that he will have to tell Dallas' family that he's dead." I say, and then I leave the room.

Thankfully, no one's in the house right now so I can go to the living room.

I sit on the couch, before I look for Benjamin's number, and I call him right after I find it.

"Hi." He says happily.

"Hey." I say, and he quickly notices that I'm not happy at all.

"Who died?" He asks me, but I'm sure that he doesn't know that someone actually died.

"Dallas." I tell him, and he stays quiet for a while.

"Are you serious?" He asks me.

"Yes. Can you tell his family about that?" I ask him.

"I will, but I have to know what happened, because they will want to know that." He tells me.

"We're not sure yet, but were assuming that the former Delta killed him. Sven and I found him with a knife in his back." I tell him.

"Goddess." Benjamin says. "Are you alright?" He asks me after a while of silence.

"I will be fine, but I'm a bit worried about Sven, because he barely talked to me today." I tell him.

"Don't leave him alone for now, and try to make him a bit happier." He says.

"I will try." I say, but I'm really not sure what I can do in this situation.

"Alright. I will call you later to check on you, but I should talk with Dallas' family now." He tells me.

I nod slightly, but then I realise that he can't see me, so I decide to respond.

"I will talk with you later." I tell him, and then I hang up.

I sigh tiredly, before I go upstairs to see if Sven is alright.

He's still laying on the bed, but he looks at me when I walk inside of the room, so I smile at him slightly.

"We're going on a walk." I tell him, but he shakes his head right away.

"I'm not going anywhere today." He tells me.

"Then I will force you to eat again." I tell him, and he thinks about it for a while, before he stands up.

"I prefer the walk." He tells me.

I'm not sure if I should be happy with it or not, but I decide to just take him on a walk for now.

I tried to make him eat and after about two hours of annoying him, he finally agreed to eat, but a short while later he threw up, so I'm sure that he's still hungry.

"Where are we going?" He asks me.

"We will just walk on the path for a few minutes." I tell him, and he nods.

I would have taken him into the woods, but I'm sure that neither of us wants to go there for now, after what happened yesterday.
