Chapter 14: I Know

{Mark's POV}

I hesitate outside the door. Brad had pulled me aside when I got nyumbani and quickly spilled the story that Randy thought I was avoiding him because he was sick, and that I should talk to him. I would have alisema that I would, and then put it off, but then Brad added that he was waiting for me now. Taking a deep breath I knock.

"Come in."

"Hey." I curse my voice as it hitches slightly. He looks up from the book in front of him, and part of me hopes he'll tell me to come back after he's done with his homework. He doesn't. He closes the book quickly, and rolls so he's sitting...

Chapter 17: Why Does It Always Have To Be Him?

{Brad's POV}

No....God no....why? Why Randy, why now? This can't be happening. Not to him, not to our family. God please, don't do this....please! I never understood fully why people were religious, we went to church on holidays, but we weren't exactly religious. I never doubted wewe existed though. I never doubted wewe knew best. Until now that is. Why are wewe doing this to us? Why him, why does it always have to be him? Don't make me hate wewe God, don't take him from us. Not after we went through so much. Not after he suffered so much.

I can tell mom is sitting beside the kitanda holding my hand cause her nails are resting on my skin I can hear the rustle of clothing and I think dad must be pacing beside me.

"Hi." I squeak out. Man my...

Chapter 15: Mistake

{Randy's POV}

I woke up feeling less than stellar. I'm not wholly surprised as I went to kitanda feeling just as bad. Taking a deep soothing breath, I fight down the slight nausea and change, heading for the juu of the stairs. I take a moment at the juu to catch my breath before entering the kitchen.

"Good morning sweetie." Mom says as she smiles.
