How did I pray?

Chapter 8.

      ^^*Someone said, because I carry it well doesn't mean it's not heavy ^^*

Today's car ride was pretty dull and quiet,  everyone  deep  in thoughts.

After that call from the unknown caller at my place, we've all been on edge  but  no one's got the guts to bring the topic up.

It's been two solid years now and still we're suffering for the heartless atrocity we committed because we were stupid and high driven teenagers, sighs but we've got to talk about it if we want to figure out the threat from the unknown caller, besides how did the person know.

We were the only ones present that day and no one knew we were with the person anyways we've got to talk about this issue sooner or later.

Jade clears her throat gaining everyones attention.
After assessing us and realizing she had us on hook she started,

"Guys , I know you're all trying really hard not to talk about it but I feel the need for us to talk about it before this closet consumes us all."

she says with a sad smile , just as Zizi opened her mouth to say something her phone rings, she answers putting it on loudspeaker..
Hello, she says with a shaky voice,
" no time for formalities "

the voice from the other end says and we all share a look of disbelief.

" you better start counting your days, and oh "

he chuckles and continues you need all the time at this moment, because your Marcos "

at the mention of Marcos's name Jade grabs the phone ,

you jerk what have you done to him
she screams into the phone.
"You better watch your tone lady "

the voice snaps and Jade drops to her feet, clearly devastated. Mckenzie grabs the day phone, clears his throat, proceed , he says

" Finally enough of the child's play, go to the school's basement, Marcos might be there. Can't say whether alive or not "

he says and the line goes dead.

Before we Could contemplate, Jade was already on her heels in the direction of the said building hence we followed suit, we had to climb several staircases , Zizi rushes to unlock the gate , but Jade pushes through but to our uttermost surprise there lying on the floor was the lifeless body of Marcos with bruises all over clearly beaten, his hair disheveled and blood over..
he was a sore sight ,
Just looking at his story state I felt a tear roll down my cheek, that was when I realized what Jade must be going through..

her beloved Oh my God..

No this can't be -, Jade sobs but we all know there's nothing more we can do.

As we all stare at the lifeless body and comforting Jade endlessly, Mckenzie spots a note pinned not far away from his body.

He waved it in our faces and places it on the table, I hurriedly walked to him and looking over his shoulder for the note to be visible, I shuddered at what I read..

——————————————————————————-

It's been a while I guess,

Poor poor Marcos, so sad😔
Jade must be going through a lot now, sighs

I'd like to thank you all for sticking around🎈 you have no idea how I feel
