The Mystery Of The Cross

Chapter 7

"We are here today to say farewell to Mathew Jackson, Adam Andrews, John lane, Barrett Jameson. Matthew was a good kid, he came to church every Sunday morning and Wednesday night. He made sure everyone was welcome, and he served regularly. May he rest in peace. Adam, John, and Barrett on the other hand, were not churchgoers, but were into drugs and such. We can only pray that they accepted Christ before they departed from us. However, their life was not in vain, use it as a lesson to you as well."

Levi tried to control the tears as she sat there, listening to the word's the pastor said. Mathew was the first person to bother even being her friend. She looked at the scars she had reopened several times this week. She was filled with hatred for herself. After all, it was her fault that Mathew was gone. All her fault.

3 DAYS AGO

The pistol was pointed at his head. Brian felt the road rash on his skin. It burned like crazy. 'i deserve it.' He told himself. After all, he killed four people. He's the one who jerked the wheel to avoid hitting Levi. In the process he killed his own brother. So why couldn't he pull the trigger. It was as if a supernatural force was holding him back. He heard a whisper. "Give me a chance." He didn't know how,but Brian knew it was God. Tears welled up as his knees hit the ground.

PRESENT DAY

Brian looked over at Levi. He knew she didn't believe in God, and he'd been praying for her. Brian watched as she got up and left the room, trying to hold back tears. He got up and followed her.

Outside, Levi let the tears come in a downpour, as she took out a razor blade. She held it to her throat, ready to slice.

"Levi!?"
