Chapter 25

Shane P.O.V

It has also been more than a year since the nightmare happened to our family. But everything that happened was still fresh in my brain. Not just one life was lost but four. I can't quite figure out why this happened to us and how bad destiny is.

"Shane" Nico called to me while sitting in front of my computer.

"It's good that you visited. How is that?" I asked my brother.

"I should be the one to ask how is that? Besides, maybe you want to go out and not be locked up here in your house. Aren't you bored here?"Nico said like my mother.

"I'm okay, besides I'm busy how can I go for a walk and wander around? You see I work" I replied to him.

"Yes, I know, but I hope you don't lock yourself here. One-" I interrupted him.

"Please Nico do not mention" I once looked back at my computer.

"I'm sorry, I'll take care of the food first, I'm hungry. I'll leave you first. Is your refrigerator full?" He asked me once and left.

"There are more." I shouted in response to him. I will never forget all the events. It's just a pain because I didn't do anything to save my father and I as well as Alex and my dad.

Flashback;

"Hey Shane" my mother called me crying.

"Mom, why did it happen? Why are you crying?" I asked my mother but instead of answering me she just kept crying. I was even more nervous. Later someone called me an unregister number. I had no intention of answering when my mother took the cellphone and she was the one talking to her loudspeaker so I heard them talking on the phone.

"Hello, is this the Madrigal Family?" The man on the other phone line asked.

"Yes" but my mother still kept crying.

"Ma'am, we just want to let you know that the remains of the bodies of the victims of JC Villaruel and Alexandra Manalo are already here at the Hospital" What the person on the other line said did not enter my brain until the tears began to flow in my eyes.

I could feel nothing but anger and pain.

"Nooo, that's not true you're a liar" I shouted on the other line.

"Hey Shane, he is telling the truth" my mother scolded me.

"Ma'am, I'll just text you where the victim's remains were brought, thank you" the call went down at once.

"Mom, is this just a dream? It's not true right?" when I pleaded with mom.

"Mom please tell me this is not true mom" nothing else can be heard but my mom and I crying.

"Shane,Auntie" Nico called to us.

"Son, is it okay if you drove us to the Hospital" my mom said to Nico .

"Nico, let's go to Alex and JC I want to see them." When I try to smile at them.

We took care of going to the hospital where JC and Alex located.
