Bob was out of breath.
He collapsed to his knees, staring at his best friend lying motionless on the ground, no breath, no movement.
The only one who was always there for him.
The one who always asked, "Have you eaten?"
The one who'd say, "Need anything while I'm out?"
The quiet presence that made everything feel a little less heavy.
Gone...just like that.
Evelyn looked at Alan, clenching her eyes shut, trying to hold back the tears, though they had already begun to fall.
William crouched on the floor, staring blankly at the ground. His expression was empty, his eyes wide.Someone had died under his leadership. The last thing he ever wanted.
Maya lay on the ground, blood in her mouth, her teeth clenched as she looked at the man who had nothing... yet tried to protect her, and died.She regretted every harsh word she'd said to him.She wished, desperately, that she could turn back time.And treat him better.
