Chapter 325

MARCUS

“Just how bad is it that Ethan would be like this?” I failed to understand the severity of the situation or even try to grasp it, I thought Ethan was exaggerating, it couldn’t have been that bad. “Then why don’t you go there and see for yourself Marcus. Maybe then you will stop judging me and start seeing the man for who he is.”

Luke raised an eyebrow looking interested suddenly. “And who is he?” Luke questioned, he was becoming more and more defensive when it came to Nick. I didn’t know when or how their relationship developed to that point.” A monster, he is a real–life monster, because no human being with a good heart would do something like that.”

They spoke of Xander being skinned like an animal but couldn’t picture it, was it that horrible that Ethan would call his friend a monster? “Don’t get me wrong.” He burped, he was quite drunk and with reason, according to Luke.

“I love Nick, he is my best friend and all that. But I hate, no let me rephrase that. I am scared to death of that side of him. I am even afraid to close my eyes and sleep because see him. meaty looking Xander sitting there leaning against the wall. I don’t even know how he is able to even lean, the pain he must be feeling.”

He shook as if he were cold. I glanced at Luke. “I gave him something for the pain, the noise he was making bothered me.” Now Luke seemed to be the one with a beating heart. But I still couldn’t understand why he was protecting Nick. If he went too far as Ethan said, then he needed help not to be shielded.

“He needs help, but Luke doesn’t think so. He thinks Nick is fine, but I disagree. If he could do that to another human being, then something is wrong in his head.” I got where Ethan was coming from but who was going to help him? it was not like we could just send him to therapy, the man would be arrested.

“Is that why you are all gathered here, to discuss Nick?” We all turned, and Lupita was standing behind us with a look I couldn’t decipher. We shared a look stunned. Lupita was a quiet type, only spoke when spoken to most of the time.
