After what Cain told me all the zombies rushed to me, and all of them were pulling my legs, arms and head while others ate me.
"Heh! heh! heh! heh!" Cain disappeared and his echo remained, the sky cleared and everything disappointed too the zombies, everything went back to normal.
I remember waking up in the middle of the road only, when Lucia called my name out loud.
"Arthur, watch out!" She called out.
I came back to reality only to find a truck stopped an inch from me, and almost hit me. The driver came out to check up on me. The rest of the school couldn't believe what they witnessed.
"Arthur!" Lucia ran to me, "Are you okay?" Sounding worried.
"Yeah I am okay, but what hell just happened? How the hell did I wind up in the middle of the road?" I touched my head.
Everyone made a big deal out of nothing, in the next few minutes there were paramedics checking up on me. It was actually a lot, Lucia stayed by my side the whole time.
"He seems okay, you don't have to worry about anything sweetie" the paramedic assured Lucia.
"Thank you" Lucia sounding grateful and relieved.
Just after the paramedic packed her stuff and left us alone, Lucia looked at me her eyes teary, and she just hugged me tight.
"Hey I'm okay" tapping Lucia, almost choking.
"Oh I'm sorry" she let go of me.
I was embarrassed to even look at her.
"What the hell, were you thinking?" Lucia punched me.
"I, I don't know" still confused.
"You really don't remember anything?" Ron asked.
"No, what really happened?" I asked.
Both Lucia and Ron gave each other this intense stare at each other, like they were still deciding who should tell me between the two of them.
"Well" I interrupted.
(Breathes)" You just ran into the middle of the street and the coming truck" Ron said.
"What do you mean?" I got more confused than before.
Ron catches his breath one more time and becomes hasitant.
"Remember all of us came out together?" Ron looking at me.
"Yeah" I replied.
"And we all stopped at the gate, because you know you and Lucia" He explained.
"Yeah" I looked at Lucia.
"And you just ran into the street the moment you saw the truck coming" Ron confirmed.
"How's that even possible?" I asked in confusion.
"It's like you were possessed by something" Lucia crying.
It hurt me to see my friends in this state, I realized I was asking too much of them, how can they explain everything to me. If I myself still don't even understand of how one conversation with a death god, sent me to suicide attempt.
They did try their best to explain things to me though they were struggling, because I saw in their faces that they also didn't understand what they were explaining. Even if they did manage too and it made sense... The truth was still to me it won't make any different, cause I knew something they didn't.
Ron tried to get me up but the images of Cain and zombie Lucia sent chills to my spine, so my legs turned to jelly and I fell down again.
"I'm sorry" looking embarrassed.
Somebody please kill me now, because what happened next is super embarrassing to me I doubt I will ever earn my dignity. Ron picked me up and gave me a piggy back ride, Lucia couldn't even look at me I understood why. Every time her eyes met me she couldn't help herself but cry.
All the way home it was like that, finally we arrived to my house.
"It's okay Ron I can take it from here" I tried to get off Ron's back.
"Don't be silly, I'll put you down inside" he insisted.
We got inside ever since we moved to Rich City, we didn't need as much help like before yes we were still rich, but I guess after what my mom think happened to me. Almost getting abducted, she wasn't trusting having anyone else in our house.
Ron puts me on the couch.
"Thanks" not maintaining eye contact with either of them.
"You need water, anything?" Lucia covering me with a blanket.
"No I'm fine thanks though" I said feeling ashamed.
I really thought after accompanying me they would get up and leave, but nope they insisted on staying.
A few hours passed Lucia was now asleep on my shoulder, she didn't dare to leave my side.
"She's out like a light" all feeling better.
(Smiles) "yeah and she hasn't left your side, and every time you move she holds you even tighter than the first time" Ron eating chips.
"Hey Ron, do you mind if you keep what happened today a secret from my mom" I whispered.
"Why?" Ron asked.
"Man I've worried my mom too much lately, and if she finds out about this I'll be sent straight to boarding school" I said.
"Oh no we can't have that someone will never forgive me" Ron whispered.
