You pick up when it's too late •

Ch #4- We'll pick up next time ♡

Hands shaking, body shivering, tears slipping & heart pounding they walked into the school only to see a gigantic crowd around their apparent 'one & only's' locker. They were bidding their farewells, some were crying, some were sad & most looked extremely mad. Her locker had her fresh & beautiful picture which was taken 3 months back... Time really does pass quickly.
They couldn't manage to look up as they heard whisperings
'Wow what wonderful friends'
'Aren't they Lisa's friends'
'I hope they die from guilt'
'Couldn't they even pick up a single call?'
'They don't deserve to live after what they did'
'She didn't deserve it'
'Jerks'
'Did you see her comment?'
'I hope they bear the same pain she went through'
Everyone cheered on that
'IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU UNDER 6 FEET NOT AN INNOCENT ANGEL LIKE HER'
Someone yelled...

Assembly:
The principle made a speech regarding Lisa & her unexpected death, all eyes were on them as they just lowered their heads avoiding everyone's gaze...
They were called to the principle's office who went really harsh on them
'I hope you suffer the same pain'
He calmly said & kicked them out
On their way out they saw someone who they never wanted to see, Aerum
'Guys...'
She sadly smiled & tried to come closer to them
'Move a little closer & I'll throw you off this building'
She quickly left fearing JK & his aura.

Things weren't good on her side either, in fact they were worse.
She got called names every single second, the teacher's failed her, the kids bullied her to the extreme, her parents disowned her. She was slowly going mad

The same day:
"Hey Lis"
"I hope you're happy"
"You'll visit heavens"
"I'm so s-sorry"
"Y-yeah... We swear we'll pick every call now"
"We thought you needed space, I'm sorry, we thought you did after going through all that"
"We didn't know you needed us"
"but still, We're really sorry
