Andy stood on the sidewalk and watched as Marcus’ form grew smaller into the distance. The last time he watched Marcus walk away had been painful, but that was nothing compared to what Andy felt now. This was worse than pain. At least with pain, Andy knew he was alive. Andy didn’t feel pain anymore; he felt nothing.
The past several weeks had gone by in a blur; Andy went through the motions of life but felt a little bit of himself die with each passing day without Marcus. And now, whatever
I thought I had missed some key plot point while reading this chapter! I'm glad everyone thinks D is delusional and there's no evidence of Noel being a traitor. I need them to get back together so badly!! Enough of this! They need to stop fighting each other and join forces to fight evil!

“You’re here early.” Cheryl slipped into the other seat. “You’re never early. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Marcus said. “I just couldn’t sleep. Had nothing else to do.”
Cheryl frowned at him. She d
You are so right!! I think a lot of people have difficulty separating the institution of religion and personal faith. They're different things! That's something Andy has to learn. Thanks again for reading!!!
