"JHAYDE! JHAYDE! WHAT IS HE DOING HERE? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?! JHAYDE! WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT?! BEFORE IT'S TO LATE FOR ALL OF US!!", he shook me very hard in hopes of waking me up from my moment of shock. But the truth is, I can't. This was it. This was the moment I had never wanted to happen. This was the day I've been dreading to wake up to. This was the nightmare I feared to come true.
"JHAYDE, PLEASE TELL ME!", he pleaded at me one more time before I uttered the words, running my hands into my face, "Oh...no! Oh no! This can't happen!". "JHAYDE, JUST TELL ME!", he yelled with his hands on my arm and squeezing the life out of me, then I told him with a shaky voice, exactly what was going to happen next, "She dies."
