Author's Note: This, I suppose, is a bit of a filler. But if you listen to the song, he sings about 'You whisper prayers into the dark. Up to a God in whom you've never believed.' That was the first line that gave me this story, so in all reality it's important to me. Join the review revolution and review. -Delta

Bullets
Chapter Four

God was never number one on his list.

Sure he'd been to church with his mother, but after the funeral Billy couldn't stand the pity of the congregation and stopped going.

Unfortunately, so did Jacob.

Now, under the clear black night sky with the stars twinkling their happiness, Leah prays.

Her eyes are stars of their own, and Jacob is enraptured.

Her full lips speak of her deepest wishes, a soft vulnerability in the melody of her voice like something he's never heard before.

He hears Seth's name numerous times, hears her deep and shaky breaths.

It is so intense a moment he almost feels ashamed for watching.

Then, he hears his name tacked on to her prayers at the last moment.

And with it, she whispers,

"Please Lord, don't let him fade."

Jacob still doesn't know what to make of it.
