It was really a rough fight that left both parties wounded, Barrett was fighting because of something, as well as me, fighting to protect something, both of us have a path and our reasons, so it was an all in fight.
The classroom were all against me, saying if anything happens to Barrett, they'll hold me responsible, and for Barrett, he really wanted to kill, you can see it in his eyes as we fought, just that I was far stronger, but with that drive of his, he did cause some damages.
Waking up in the morning, I happened to realize that it was also a peaceful night just like the last time, a night where we never showed up at Death's lare. My mom was stunned too, seeing that I didn't look much like a dead body last night, because she now sleeps in my room, always wanting to spend my last moments with me, knowing and accepting that death was just around the corner.
“ So it was a success?, You really did pulled up that stunt and it happened to work?.... Thought you really went way ahead of yourself.....”
My Mom said, hugging me so tight, really happy that it was a success. She looked at my face, looking at my swollen wounded lips, caressing the wound gently as tears gather in her eyes. “ I guess someone owes you an apology.....” she said, trying to make me believe that my intuition just saved a life last night.
“ No Mom, it's not actually necessary, I wouldn't be needing any apologies because today is still another day, the third ritual is still unknown, that means Barrett's Life is still at risk....”
“ Look at you, caring for him, despite the fight yesterday, despite the wounds he caused you, you still look out for him. I love and really admire this version of you son, you're really one to look up to....”
She hugged me so tight again, giving me that mother son hug, showing how proud she was having me as her son. She left my room as she went on to get herself ready. I still haven't told her that my name is around the corner, I am not just trying to save everyone's life here, I'm also trying to save myself because my day is too closer than they know.
Getting to school and sitting around with my classmates, they all had this disappointed look on their faces, yeah, they should, they was here when I was battling with Barrett and they all pointed fingers at me like I was the villain, but now, they had a beautiful nice sleep and can't get up from there a** to come say thanks.
“ What's up buddy.... ”
Michael greeted as he sat down on my table, eyes looking at my bruised face. They was here when it happened, no need to come and act all sympathetic towards the circumstance that has already taken place, and for Barrett, I haven't even checked on him, still waiting for him to come and apologize for taking steps without further thoughts.
“ Is Barrett on his seat?.....”
I asked Michael, not looking at his face, not wanting to see him with that sorry look as if he cares, as if anyone of them cares, they're just not great friends. “ Wait!... You never heard what happened buddy?.....” Micheal asked, getting my full attention as I looked up to his face, “ I never heard what?.” 
Michael stayed silent, like he doesn't want to speak, I can see my classmates now looking my way like they've been listening to my conversation with Michael. “ common Micheal, what are you talking about?, What happened?....”
“ Barrett committed suicide, he left a note, he did forgive you about the fight since he was going to die anyway, it was on the news, I guess he decided to die with less pain than go through Death's torture.....”
Ivan narrated. I was taken aback, like, I never saw this coming, why?, Why would he?, I know that Death was a torturer, but Barrett, he shouldn't, he shouldn't have ended himself, she should have waited, he should've enjoyed one more day, why would he end himself?, That means a day spared for us was now in vain. He just doesn't think straight, just like how he attacked and fought me, he wasn't really thinking straight, and now, by taking his life, that means someone else who was supposed to live one more day was going to lose his or her life today and Death is going to laugh at my face, making me realize that all I did was a waste of time and an unsuccessful sacrifice.
My classmates look really sorry, sorry for not trusting me, sorry for not making Barrett see the light, sorry for not encouraging him that he can still go through this, now someone else was about to lose her life, someone who also supported Barrett yesterday, someone who wanted me tortured for taking matters into my hands, Blake.
She was sitting alone, she wasn't with the others who gathered around me to make their apologies, she was sitting alone, going through her pains probably considering doing the same thing just as Barrett, but wouldn't that affect someone else's life?.
Despite how pissed off I was towards them all, I went to her, seating by her side, listening to her sobs with her face down. Yeah, we all know that Death makes us go through hell before leaving this world, but we're at a point that if we decide taking the easy part, then someone else was going to lose their life instead of us.
“ You know I have forgiven you right?....”
I said to her, sitting by her side, she turned around and looked at me. “ You do?....” she asked, I just nodded my head, accepting the fact that I have to overlook our differences because we all are going through the same thing but at different set time.
“ Don't worry Bruno.... Looking from the new person I've seen you become, I believe we can succeed with this task as far as you're still here, don't worry about me, I'm willing to go through it if it can help buy you some time.....”
