FanFic: It Can't Be (200th post!)

PART 1

“There's no easy way to do this, guys...”

“It's okay Carlos, we're here for you. Just tell us. Everything will be fine,” Nicah said.

“Yeah,” Yanna added.

There was a long pause as the P.F.kada waited for their friend, Carlos to tell them the news. You see, the P.F.kada is a group of currently 8 kids. Namely, Joshua, Jasper, Mishka, Ren, Jem, Nicah, Yanna and Jet. Their mission? To tell the world about Jesus Christ. But lately, they've found themselves saving their friends, themselves, and the world. And right now, they're in a small room with a very good friend, Carlos.

“I'm...” Carlos breathed heavily. His eyes started tearing up.

“Go on,” Jasper encouraged.

Everyone waited. And waited. No news came.

“Here, take these. It'll be easier,” Jem said, as she handed him a piece of paper and a pen.

Carlos worked quickly, writing, perhaps, 5 sentences in 30 seconds. Scribble here, smiley face there. He started folding it. Once. Twice. Then he handed it to Mishka.

“I need to go, guys. I'm sorry. I really am. Good bye.”

“Already? We haven't read the news yet!” Mishka frantically said, waving the folded piece of paper in the air. Everyone was staring at Carlos, who was already standing up to leave.

“It's best that way. And another thing, I don't know when I'm going to see you again. Maybe tomorrow, next week. Maybe never.” Carlos was halfway to the door, facing the team, tears rolling down his cheeks.

Silence. The girls started sniffling. The boys just couldn't make anything out of it. After a long minute of silence, Mishka finally spoke up.

“At least let us say good bye. After we read the news, everything will be clear, right? So just give us this chance. We'll miss you.”

With that, Nicah stood up; head bowed, tears dripping from her face, tension in her hands. And Carlos couldn't take it anymore, he ran towards her, and gave her a long hug.

“I'll miss you,” she said, her voice muffled by her tears.

“We'll all miss you,” Jasper followed, standing up to give Carlos a hug.

With everyone crying, Carlos ran out the door, leaving the news with Mishka.
