Year in Decade

chapter 17

TW:
- suicide

On the same night, Joey covered up his brother's body with the sheets when he picked up and put him into the trunk, and he went back to the car. He drove around somewhere near the river as he got out of the car to drop his body into the river. He wouldn't tell anyone who killed his brother, and Joey felt like Big Mac didn't believe him at all while their father was still in prison for the next eleven years.

The next day, Veronica is in the subway station waiting for her train; she's on her way to the studio. She's still worried about Eddie and wants to ensure he's still around. Meanwhile, two other girls come to the station to search for Veronica.

Girl 1: Are you Veronica, right?

Veronica: *takes off the headphones and sees them* Who the fuck are you?

Girl 1: *punches her in the face*

Girl 2: *kicking her leg*

Veronica: *grunts*

Girl 2: You didn't make rehearsal today! *holds her*

Veronica: *hitting her with the bag*

Girl 1: *grabs her*

Veronica: *holds Girl 1 and pushes her hardly*

Girl 1: Oh! *falls to the ground behind the few people*

Girl 2: Hell no, bitch! *tried to attack her*

Veronica: *dodges and punches her twice*

Girl 2: *grunts and almost fall*

Veronica: *grabs Girl 1, punches her stomach, and pushes her away again*

Girl 1: *falls to the floor until she gets up and takes out the pocket knife and points out to Veronica*

Veronica: *sees her pocket knife while hearing the train coming while sees Girl 2 standing there*

Girl 2: *looks at Veronica*

Hadley arrives in the gym to prepare for a self-defense class as long as he is waiting for Falco for the next five minutes; she decides to go to the office, but unfortunately, she finds Falco on the suicide rope, and she is shocked.

Hadley: *screams and covers her mouth while her breathing turns a little faster and moves back against the wall*

Falco: *dead*

Hadley: HELP! GET SOME HELP! SOMEBODY!!!

After the aftermath, Hadley and Ceila read Falco's letter while Officer Gary discovered Falco's body and let them take care of his body to the coroner's truck.

Ceila: *reads the letter* Dear all of you, I don't know why I've come to write this letter; I had a long road to come along by myself, which is everything to me. In the way, I was living in the same way throughout the years after my wife passed away; instead, my family could care even though I did care about them. I would lose everything because I'm a different person as an adult; when I was a kid, everything changed for me. I guess it's time for me to give some good space, and it's for the greater good.

Hadley: *hearing*

Ceila: This is not fair. I've been thinking about my brain, which thought he was OK the other day, and it seems worried that he shouldn't be supposed to be here.

Hadley: We worked him once in a day.

Ceila: *hearing*

Hadley: Who wouldn't think that he was going to suicide?
