The Rebels [A FNF Fan-Story]

In Memory of Garcello

8:30 am – Church

(Everyone is sleeping, until a phone rings)

Ruv: (turns off the phone) Ugh... (closes his eyes)

(Phone rings, again)

Ruv: (throws the phone) *sigh* (closes his eyes again)

(Other phone rings outside of Ruv and Sarv's room)

Selever: Dad!!

Ruv: Ugh!! (gets up)(picks up the phone) What do you want?

Whitty: Ruv?

Ruv: Whitty?

Whitty: Look, sorry if I woke up but... there's something you need to know. And it's not good...

Ruv: What? What happened?

Whitty: It's- *sniff* Ugh, why is this so hard to say?

Tabi: (picks Whitty's phone) We found Garcello dead, my friend...

Ruv: What? Where?

Tabi: In a hallway. BF said that he was funkin' with him and GF, and he started to feel his chest funny. I'm pretty sure that was because of the smoke of his cigarettes.

Ruv: Maybe... But hey, just stay where you are, I'm going to meet with you.

Tabi: Ok, sure.

Ruv: (turns off the phone)

Sarvente: Ruv? What happened?

Ruv: *sigh*... Garcello's dead...

Sarvente: *gasp* Oh no... (hugs Ruv)

Ruv: (deep breaths and hugs Sarv back) I'm going to meet with Whitty and Tabi. It won't be a long, promise (wears his jacket, boots, and hat)

Sarvente: Hey!! If you boys find Annie, say that I feel sorry for her. She was a very close friend of Garcello...

Ruv: I will... (walks upstairs)

Sarvente: ... *sigh*... (join hands together) God, I know I'm not accepted by you anymore, but... I just want you to take care of Garcello for us. I may not know him well, but... I saw the good in him.

Selever: Mom?

Sarvente: Huh? Oh, hi dear...

Selever: What happened? (crosses his arms)

Sarvente: Garcello... He is... (lands on her knees and starts crying)

Selever: Mom... (hugs Sarvente) It's ok...

Sarvente: I-I don't understand... Why do people have to go so soon? I-I saw the good on that man... Even if we didn't know him well... He was still a friend. To me, your father, your sister...

Selever: *sigh* I'm sorry, mom... I really am...

Later, in that hallway...

Whitty: I feel bad now...

Tabi: Because of Garcello?

Whitty: Yeah, but also Annie as well... She was really close to Garcello though...

Tabi: Did you tell her about this yet?

Whitty: She didn't pick up...

Tabi: Ok...
