Black Masks (Continuation)

(E•21)

"If he's allowed to have some blood.. isn't that an open invitation?"
...
Keithie's mom climbed onto the bed
...
"Keithie.. if you're gonna take a nap right now at least wash up first.. I don't want to sleep beside you and your sweaty scent...😑"-Rune
...
"hah?.."-Ms Lequire thought to herself in confusion

She looks around Rune's neck

"..."-Rune

"No bite marks? . . .They usually don't go away for about 4-5 days.."-Ms Lequire thought to herself again

She gets off the bed

"Who are you to my son boy."-Ms lequire asks in a strict tone.

Rune rubs his eyes

"hmm..? You're not ..Mm.."-Rune says while also struggling to speak

"What a shame. I would wait for Keithie to come back and explain, but I just realised I stopped caring about things that come to me as irrelevant 17 years ago."-Ms Lequire
...
"It's weird she looks a lot like Keithie but he's not here.."-Rune thinks to himself

"Who.."-Rune

"...I'm not wasting my breath on someone who looks like he doesn't have any left."-Ms Lequire thinks to herself

"Agh I'm too weak to piece this out right now.. Hopefully Keithie comes back soon.."-Rune thinks to himself before letting himself fall asleep

"..."-Ms Lequire looks at Rune once more

"I've spent more than enough time letting this dog waste my lunch time."-Ms Lequire thought to herself

"I don't remember the apartment being (huff huff)— so far from here"-North says while breathing heavily

"This is a matter of life and death— maybe not for me but."-Keithie

"Well it KINd of is a life and death matter for me! Plus, we're here, let's pray for the safety of our beloved—"-Ai

Keithie pushes her to a side and ran into the apartment before pausing for a while to take his shoes off.
.
"...I'm getting sick of these disturbances. That had better be my Keithie walking in."-Ms Lequire thought to herself as she climbed down from Rune.

Keithie walks in, with Ai following after.

Keithie's mom walks out the room and stops as she looks at Keithie.

"Then I was like bam! And he dropped dead on the ground!"-Elijah says with pride

"Literally why do I still hang out with you."-Jersey

"Really?! That's so awesome!"-Brei

"Right?? I know! And that wasn't the only the time I...."-Elijah as his voice starts to fade away from Jersey

"This is unbelievable. I thought the guilt would've gotten over me by now. Getting rid of that parasite was the goal, yet I still feel like there's something wrong.. I mean I know lying to him about..HER is wrong but I feel like there's something else that's bugging me... I should've told him the truth instead of burying myself in a deeper hole.. He's done so much for me yet...
.
Oh god. This feeling. I've rejected him countless of times yet this is the only time I've felt like this. I can't possibly— no stop. This whole ordeal has made me think the impossible. I'm starting to think I should get professional help.—"-Jersey thought to himself before..
