"Malachi?" I heard my name being called from outside my bedroom

I could tell it was Deivys. I didn't feel like talking right now, I didn't feel like doing shit besides staring at the ceiling all day. Yesterday's phone conversation just kept repeating in my head and I couldn't take it.

"m-m-malachi" He struggled to say

Jakob never cries for anything, like ever. Last time I saw him cry was when Rodney died, and those were more like angry tears than sad tears.

"Jakob what happened?"

"Mia...she uh...she killed herself"

My eyes grew large as I processed what he said. This gotta be some kind of joke, a not very nice joke.

"Jakob I don't have time for your early april fool's day pranks" I said but still feeling uneasy

"you think I would joke about my wife's death?" He barked

He's not lying. Mia's...dead?

"there has to be some kind of mistake, no Jakob no. she's not, she's not dead Jakob"

I stood up from the table and started pacing around. Deivys noticed and stood up along with me asking what happened.

"I-I came home and she was just hanging. Malachi...she's gone"

"no Jakob...NO!" I yelled causing everyone to look in my direction
