Chapter 43

Pdv Lyno.

May no longer came to class, Marielle, she came back but doesn't seem to be interested in the course. I don't know how to describe, I can't distinguish whether it's sadness, anxiety or fear. What could they have talked about? And why hasn't Mau returned to class anymore? No idea. The class was taking place and the bell just announced the break, I immediately leave the room but I notice that the others were following me. Maybe they noticed what I noticed too. We are heading to the canteen and Mau was there with his phone in hand, an air of disappointment, he is having fun with the food on the table. Him? Having fun with food? It's rare, we stand at his level and then he raises his head with a smile to convince us that everything is fine. We sit down and as quickly, Jozy, wonder, Eve and Nando join us. Everything was so calm but my twin decides to break the silence by asking what's going on.

Lyna: so sir?

Mau: what sir? He said, raising his shoulders.

Paul: Marielle is not really herself and it has worsened since your discussion this morning, I don't even know or rather we don't know what you talked about, he says a little too direct for my taste. But what do you want? This is the Lord.

Mau: his mother has been sick for months and we totally ignored him. How long have you not written a simple message?

Paul: six or seven months.

Me: the same thing

Lyna: almost nine months. Since the holidays,

So Mau takes up his story and tells us everything that happened on the roof, I think everyone becomes aware of all the evils we were able to create for this girl who only wanted these friends by her side. Marielle is possessive and has a little exaggerated techniques but we know it and that's how she shows her love too.

Paul: what happened happened, there's no point in languishing because it won't change anything. Why do people complain about the harm they have done to others? It's ridiculous and useless, you can dress it in all possible ways and find the most logical justifications that exist, the harm you have done to others remains the evil he says by looking in one direction. How to arrange things remains the only thing we need to think about.

Lyna: nothing to add.

I see Jozy's reaction and wonder then Eve, they are starting to feel bad for Marielle and Nando too.

Jozy: go talk to him, communication is characteristic of humans. Maybe you will solve your problems, she says by sipping her fruit juice.

Pdv Mau.

After the discussion with my friends, I get up and head to ke VIP, it's been a while since I've been in this place. This place that was once my favorite no longer told me anything. Lyna, Paul and Lyno join me.

God: a lease that these seats have seen you more, he says, mocking.

Marielle: what do you want, Pierre, jeans, marc and marie? She said to hide her pain. Being mean to hide your suffering, a specialty from Marielle.

Lyna: we didn't come for that. We know that we have reacted badly to you for some time and we have outright forgotten that we have always supported each other, we have always been there for each other and no matter how desperate the situation is we have always found a solution. We apologize, she says very weakly.

Marielle: lyna who apologizes to me? Film this. More seriously, do I have so much pity? I don't want you to have pity on me, it's okay I'm doing very well, I was jealous I admit but now I got stuck to it, I want you more and I won't look for Jozy anymore since it's Mau's love. I always wanted him to be happy as well as all of you, but it has never been reciprocal and you have proven it to me. So here it is, make your life away from me.

Me: what if I refuse?

Marielle: that's your problem.

Me: you know me. You know I won't give up. Do you want us to continue to make kids? What do you want me to do? Tell me.

Marielle: break up with Jozy, she launches without emotion.

Me: .....

Marielle: I'm kidding. Seriously I forgave you but I can't tell you to do anything.

Lyna: please come and eat with us today.

Marielle: with your new friends?

Paul: yes.

Marielle: If it degenerates, don't blame me.

Lyno: ok, let's go.

God: it's not a good idea.

Lyna: meddle in what concerns you. Let go, she says, turning. Yes, their relationship has deteriorated since the match where they let Nando get scraped.

Pdv Marielle.

I really don't know why I accepted Lyna's invitation, even if my whole head yells at me not to go, my body can't keep calm. We arrive at the table and then Paul pulls me a chair.

Me: I didn't know you so gentleman.

Paul: it happens that I am in the presence of the beautiful ladies, he says with a laugh. The others take their place and there is really a very heavy atmosphere.

Jozy: I hope it's not to be silent that you came to sit at the same table, argue, laugh or do what you want but that it's not so quiet.

Me: you have a tooth against calm, I say with a smile.

Jozy: soon I will be in total calm so I would like to avoid it for the moment.

Me: are you going to die? Do I say

Jozy: maybe.

Mau: ridiculous.

Me: are you still so afraid of death?

Paul: Everyone is afraid of death. Some just accept it better than others.

Wonder: young people whose subject of discussion is death? Who are these people saying with a laugh.

Eve: it's true that it's murky.

Me: maybe well, you're super beautiful, I've never seen you so objectively I say as she turns around to make sure I'm talking about her.

Me: of course I'm talking about you Eve.

Eve: seriously? Did you compliment me? In the end, you may not be so bad.

Me: everyone is mean. Some just show it more than others.

Pdv Lyno

We were laughing and talking. Marielle is a super weird girl. She can be super nasty with someone and become very kind to her overnight, she talks with the girls as if there had never been animosity between them and I like it. Then a teacher came to interrupt us.

Teacher: hi children, Marielle, bad news for you.

Marielle: Is my mother dead? She says and then everyone looks at her astonished. We know that she is sick but not that they expect that she can die at any time.

Prof: sorry, I'd like to tell you that this is not the case. My condolences, he said when he left.

Everyone has their eyes on Marielle and despite her efforts, tears flow. And yes, when suffering is real and great, any effort not to show it is useless.
