Marvin

“Marvin, wake up.”

“Marvin, can you hear me?”

With pain in my head, I slowly opened my eyes

I focused on the sound of my mom’s voice, trying to fight my way to my blurry vision.

“Marvin, it’s time to wake up.’

“Mom, don’t force him.”

The sooner 1 worked along, the sooner I would receive some answers. Where was Tiago, and what had exactly happened?

After some hours had passed, I was finally able to see my family-but the looks on everyone’s faces and the fact that Tiago was not present was not a good sign. Full of curiosity, I looked at my mom, dad, Karina, and Victor.

I didn’t know what Victor was doing here, especially after his heartless comment-but I guess the gesture was nice. “So what’s up with the serious faces, and where are Tiago and Anya?” I chuckled, fearing for the

worst.

The pale faces after mentioning Anya’s name were terrifying. “Marvin….I’m so sorry.” My mom spoke. lowering her head. “But Anya…” She continued.

I took a breath. “She didn’t make it….Anya didn’t make it.” I concluded, balling my fist. I hadn’t even noticed how angry I was until Karina placed her hand on my shoulder to calm me down. Mario Castillo
