... We All Fall Down

"Owen..."
"Maybe if I would have always been with her like I promised, it wouldn't have happened. I can't keep my promises Nita. That bastard took the two most important girls in my life. She was just beginning to become something big. She was working, she just graduated. She was the love of my life. I have no one now, Ni. I can't keep on losing people I love. I can't."
"I promise you Owen, I will make him pay. Just don't give up on me." He shakes his head
. "They were the reason I'm still alive Nita. Not only did he take those two girls from me... Us. But our dad as well, and Xavier! Who else do we need to lose before I see that bastard behind bars!"
"I don't know O. I don't know."
"I'm done with all this bullshit happening to us! I'm done!" He stands up and begins to throw rocks. He kept crying and throwing rocks, cursing in every language he knew. I just stared at rocks falling and splashing into the ocean water. Who is this close to me?
Someone who knows where I live, where my family works, where we travel, where I work.
But who could it be?
I reach in my jacket and retrieve the note .



-ashes. Ashes. You all fall down.
