CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

Twenty Four Hours

Theme Song : Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights.

I forced my mind to focus on something else other than the bomb Nana just dropped. I concentrated on the weeping willow tree standing over the loveseat. I watched the ease the cool breeze exhibited as it romanced the trees which danced slowly in a giggling response. I saw the clouds gather overhead,steadily turning the bright blue sky into a gloomy shade of grey.

"Babe,are you alright!?" Chase was by my side in seconds. I kept staring ahead. My eyes,however,couldn't stand the torture since a lone tear caused my gaze to waver. It ran down my cheek ever so freely. "Babe? Talk to me,please!" I fell into his arms with terrible sobs.

"Chase,why did it have to be Billy?" I wailed like a baby. My cries came with small choking gasps.

"Billy?"

"Yes Billy. He...he won't" I couldn't finish the statement as more sobs came in. My whole body shook with anger and sorrow. It dawned on Chase then because he cursed.
