Chapter 21- Forged by Fire

Monique began to get better as Gerald and Angel watered down her beer and gave her multivitamins instead of the drugs that she asked for, which they flushed down the toilet happily. Things were getting better. Angel began dancing again, and Gerald began basketball once more. After the basketball game of November 7, Rob and the rest of the team went to the locker room. They joked around with each other and had a good time. Rob invited Gerald to go drinking and hang out, but Gerald had to say no, because he had to be home with Angel. While Gerald was at home, he received a call from Keisha, which is whose house Rob and the others were going to hang out at. She was wondering where Andy was, who was with Rob, and Gerald thought that maybe they just decided to hang out somewhere else. Later, Gerald started to worry, so he called Keisha, B.J., Andy, and Rob. There was no answer from any of these calls. Yet, finally, he reached Rhonda, who gave him very saddening news. Andy ran into a wall with the car, and there was an explosion. Everyone made it out except for Rob. Gerald grieved with Angel over Rob's death, and went to his family's house to share in their grievances for a short time. Then, they went back to their home.

I was deeply saddened to read about Rob's death. Things have gotten bad once more. The cycle of happiness to deep depression will hopefully coming to an end.
