Friends? / A Romeo Beckham Fanfic

chapter 31

Romeo's POV

He's dead.

My heart aches every time I think about that black body bag sitting on our doorstep. Marie's shock when she opened the door. My mother faint, her cheeks pale. And to think some evil specimen had the audacity to do this to my family - to Jayde - is absolutely heartbreaking.

I remember placing the flowers on his grave. Our family surrounding his body - the feeling of his corpse seemed to surround us like a ghost, and smother us like a blanket. I cried for him - and we didn't even know him. He wasn't even related to us. But to Jayde, he was someone important. And whoever killed him - they shall burn in the wrath of hell. But Jayde herself never came for the funeral. I still believe it was because she was scared of the possibility someone would kill her after this happened, but mum and dad say there was more behind it than we thought. No further details told - just an intimidating silence every time we sat around the table for dinner.

But what did Jayde do so wrong; what reason did they have to kill someone that could have meant so much to her?

Every time I tried to ring her; the phone fell dead.

The Skype chats - they became nonexistent.

The letters I sent - they never got a reply.

She probably thought I was crazy, and the association of us two was a scary and frightening thought. I felt like I was latching onto her like a fading memory, while she had already let the thought of us go - a long time ago.

The love we once had so much for one another seemed to have disappeared to her. But no matter what, I still cared. Jayde was one of those people you could never forget - and to know someone was on her case, was a damned thought. The fact there was no communication between us anymore made me feel some sort of way. As if I messed up. Her life - it was different now, I think. Maybe she just changed her number. Changed her address. Changed her Skype name. Maybe she has a boyfriend. Maybe her persona's completely different. Maybe she wasn't even alive anymore.

This so-called secret society gang did not release a secret about our family, like we were told. Instead, they killed someone. 

His name;

Maddox Kingfinsher.
