We Are Us

CHAPTER 112: Point It Out

The Estate

Thor walks off as if I have agitated him. I ignore it so it won't bother me, then Danny approaches me with Clay and Lex following close behind. "Hey homeboy, what's up?", Danny asks, "Ahh, I'm just trying to get my two cents in. What about you guys?", I reply. "Workin' my ass off, man.", says Lex. "I heard that Lex, I don't know if I can handle all these funerals. Duke was there when I got shot. Will and Xavier were in a fight literally just a few days before Will got himself killed to save him. Nicole sacrificed herself for Beth because she had already lost Will. It's too much on my head and emotions man, I'm having lots of trouble.", Clay says in order to explain his post-trauma experience. "Man you might need to see a therapist or something. I know you've been through a lot.", Danny advises, "Yeah, I have been. But I can't afford it, I'm trying to move out of my mom's house and help my sister with her school, keep food in the fridge, and keep my car up to date. I'll be alright I guess, it just needs to run it's course. Do you guys think I'll go to jail?", Clay asks, "No! Why would you bro?", Lex yells, "I killed Darwin.", says Clay. "Oh shit-" Lex began to respond before she was interrupted by Danny, "As far as I've been told, they're saying Darwin's death was part of a murder suicide. Every survivor from the gun fight is viewed as a victim... right now anyway.", "Damn.", I say to actually have something to say. Danny speaks, "Duke's wake is tomorrow. I talked to Thor and we decided it best that we attend Nicole's and, if we can find it, Joyner's services. Since all three burials are likely to happen the same day, we are given the option to go to Duke's, but it's mandatory to be at the wake. Will's funeral is the day after Duke's wake, his will be the only one all day. The day after, is Nicole's and Duke's burial. Probably Joyner's as well."
