vii. Jake
Evan's death had scared Jake.
It was not a weird thing; to be freaked out if a person whom you knew, died in front of you. Plus, it was the first time Jake had actually been exposed to death- up close, after Astrid's death, that was. And even then, he had not been in the room when she had passed away.
But that was certainly not the case.
Jake wasn't scared because of Evan dying in front of him. He was scared at the aftermath of Evan's death. How he had felt after Evan's death.
It wasn't happiness.
But, it wasn't sadness either.
It was this weird emotion, and it had taken over his body, over his heart, over his soul.
Jake didn't want to admit it. He didn't want to admit that he, himself, could be capable of something so...cruel.
Relief.
Because, deep down, Jake Rosenbloom had celebrated the fact that his love rival was out of the way.
viii. Atticus
Evan's death had disappointed Atticus.
There was so much he had been wanting to talk to the Tolliver about. Atticus had even been meaning to ask the geek to give him a crash course in computers. Adding another subject to his already long list of revised ones wasn't a bad thing, now was it?
Sure, Dan was Atticus' best friend, but Dan wasn't exactly...book smart. Street smart was more his friend's speed.
Atticus was sure that if he had just had a chance to perhaps talk to Evan more, they'd would've been great friends. They could've bonded over all geeky things, like computers and calculus.
But, alas, it was not in Evan's fate to have lived a long life.
Maybe there is a greater science to it, the young Rosenbloom had wondered.
Or maybe Jesus just needed his angel back.
Hey guys!
I apologize for not updating for a long time, but I've been real busy. School's out, but there is this other course I've been doing, so I've hardly had any time. Also, I recently got addicted to anime, and have been watching about ten episodes a day. I'm sure you don't want to hear more about my boring life, so I shall stop now.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed this.
