The Next Generation

Chapter 14: Separated

12:04 pm

Roger's POV

I am sitting on the bench outside the house, still trying to relieve the pain. I felt really guilty, I'm a fuckin' shit! Why should it happen to me? I lost everything!!! Everything!!! If I could only slay all those motherfuckers! It would lessen the pain, but I can't.

Suddenly I heard some footsteps coming toward me so I looked over my shoulder, it's Jaze.

Jaze's POV

I went outside the house to talk to Roger and luckily I found him sitting on the bench.

"Ahmm Roger... Can I... Ahh... Have a sit?"

Roger: Feel free.

I sat down beside him, I know he's still lamenting. Before we left Michael, he asked me a favor and I said I will, that's why I'm here to tell Roger about it.

"Roger"

Roger: What?

"Ahmm... Michael asked me to tell you something."

Roger: What is it?

"He felt so sorry for disobeying you, he said you're the best elder brother in the world, he loves you very much."

I've noticed the tears began forming again in his eyes and he remained quiet for a while.

Roger: Jaze! Am I that shit to lose everything? What have I done wrong?

"No Roger, you're very kind, you didn't do anything wrong. Perhaps it's God's will."

Roger: My life has no more sense. What am I still doing here? I lost all my relatives, my dad, mom and even my only brother.

"No Roger don't talk like that, you must live for them."

Roger: But why? when all of them are gone?

Suddenly Samantha appeared.

Samantha: Jaze is right Roger, you must live for them. I'm pretty sure they would get mad at you if they knew what you're saying right now.

Roger: Thank you Samantha!

Samantha: You're always welcome. Come on! Let's get inside now.

The three of us went back inside the house. Samantha and I headed to our room and also Roger. I laid down on the mat and began sleeping.

              **********[]**********

I was walking alone on the street, and suddenly Someone called my name, Jaze! Jaze! I looked everywhere to figure out who it is, and I saw my mom again from the side of the street, she's wearing a long White dress, and everytime the wind blows, the dress is swinging trough the air, she's smiling at me and her eyes are sparkling with joy.

"Mom? Mom! It's you! Where have you been?"

She didn't respond and she just smiled. I run toward her but then the hunters grabbed her down.

"No!!!"

I opened my eyes and sat on the mat. It was a nightmare again. I was gasping for air and I noticed that Samantha was awake, it must be because of my scream.

Samantha: Hey! Are you alright Jaze?

"Ah... yeah! Just a nightmare. I'll just go down to drink."
