Chapter 225-They Want Me To Cry
Helanie:
"Lamar! How--how did we not know she would do something like that?" Jenny was crying beside us, asking the same question over and over again.
The cold weather didn’t bother me that night. I had been in shock. We were gathered outside the hostel, the sun was slowly coming up. The night ended up being the absolute worst for all of us.
Especially for Lucy.
"Jenny, it was not your fault," Penn had been trying to comfort his sister, but she kept blaming herself.
I knew it wasn’t her fault. It was the tenth floor’s fault. She was definitely on the tenth floor, and that entity helped her free herself from the pain in a way that Lucy never imagined.
That is what the entity promised me as well. She offered everyone different help. For Lucy, she found it easy to get it done and free herself.
"Helanie," Lamar sat next to me, placing his hand on my shoulder, but I couldn’t even cry a tear. I just felt my body being numb. All the other students were crying and screaming in terror.
The news was, Lucy jumped from the rooftop, but the door was not opened. She wasn’t at the rooftop, but who would listen to me?
"The ambulance took her. She will be fine," Lamar kept insisting on her being fine when there was no way she could be fine. That big fall when she was in her human form--she would need to transition to heal, but she cannot when she is not even waking up.
"Helanie, please at least say something," Lamar continued to rub my hand between his hands, worried for me.
