The smile on Mister Jackson's face is terrifying. The smile is forced and that's what is scary about it the most. Malik stubbornly doesn't let go of her.

" She repeats. " Keith is dead. "" I know, my child. " He sighs. " It's the most unfortunate incident of my life. "He gently touches her shoulder and nods at her.

" Just maybe if you didn't let Keith destroy himself with all of those drugs, maybe he would have still been alive.

Malik's heart drops into his stomach and he stands up straight to look at her. Her eyes are shut and her breath is little broken gasps. Her eyes are shut but the lids are flickering. "Edna, what did you say?" He touches her shoulder. She hasn't passed out, has she? Was it that good?She holds her hand over her mouth and muffled sobs erupt from somewhere inside of her. " I'm sorry, Malik. " She cries. " I am so sorry. "He doesn't know what to say to her so he just looks on as she cries. It's not like he enjoys looking at her cry, he is just honestly lost on what to do. She sits up, her face stained with tears and her face already puffy. She looks at his face and his blankness isn't encouraging at all. " How did this happen?" He stares into the air. " I don't know, we had sex in Italy. "" Yeah, but you said that it's Keith's. " He points out. " Everyone knows that it's Keith's. "" Are you saying I am lying?"" No, I'm saying everyone knows that it belongs to Keith and you can'

"Jesus. " She stands up and walks out of the room. Edna's heart falls into her chest, her mother is mad at her. Her father stands to his feet and can't even bear to look anyone in the eyes. " Excuse me. "He leaves the room, leaving her alone with her brother and his wife. They sigh and pull close to each other. Edna is numb from the pain, all she can do is stare into the thin air with her tear-filled eyes. " I am going to speak to mum. " Doreen walks away to the kitchen.
