Marcus decision

It was already twilight when Marcus decided to leave with Deven for the city.They no longer had anything in their town and they had nothing to leave for in that place anymore so he decided it was best they moved to a new environment.Maybe a change of environment would help them get over their sorrows. But there was a problem, he didn't have any food or money anymore so it would be difficult to take care of Deven in a foreign land.But that didn't discourage Marcus, he decided to leave because he believed that they will surely find a way to survive.

They arrived at the city around midnight and by then Deven was already asleep. The little money Marcus had he used to buy something to eat on the way to the city.They had no accommodation so Marcus decided to call Matthew.A good friend of his who lived in the city using a payphone. Luckily there was a payphone near by and Marcus called Matthew and told him about everything that happened.

Matthew sympathized with him and decided to let him stay.

Marcus described his location to Matthew and Matthew came to pick him and little Deven up.

They arrived at Matthew's house at around 2:00am. Matthew showed Marcus his room and Marcus put little Deven to sleep and went to freshen up after which he also went to sleep.

The next day, Marcus woke up only to find Deven wasn't in the room. He jolted up from bed and left the room hurriedly only to find little Deven outside the house on his knees while looking up to the sky crying and begging for his mom and siblings to return to him and his dad. Seeing this made Marcus burst into tears and he walked up to Deven and gave him a hug trying to console the little boy and also himself.

Matthew came outside and saw the father son duo on the ground cuddling each other and he could help but feel bad. He felt bad for his friend who had lost his wife,family and everything which he held so dearly and for the little boy who had lost his mom and siblings whom he loved so dearly.He walked up to the father son duo and touched Marcus shoulder. Marcus understood who it was and he wiped his tears,picked up Deven and followed Matthew back into the house.

When they got back into the house, breakfast had already been prepared and the dinning table had already been set by Matthew's wife Gabriella.Matthew led Marcus and Deven to the dinning area after which they all got seated and had their breakfast. After breakfast Marcus decided to discuss getting a job with Matthew. Even though it's only been a day since he and Deven moved into Matthew's home, he felt he needed to do something in order for him to be able to contribute to the house hold expenses.He didn't want to feel like a burden to Matthew and his wife so he decided he needed to get a job.
