A Christmas Wish Come True (part ll)

Chapter Two

Amy's POV:

Who's Josh? I've never heard of this ex-boyfriend of hers. I just stare at the photo of the boy. He looks familiar...like i know him, but i can't figure out where I have seen him.

Maria just stares at the paper in disbelief, then whispers. "Could this be revenge for last time...?" She starts to pace the room. She looks cute when she's angry. She's dangerous, and scary looking. But the stern expression on her face makes her look cute. Knock it off! I blink. Oh yeah, crap. Don't do that Amy. You are not doing that to your best friend.

I just look away, my cheeks turn a bright pink. Thankfully neither of them noticed me.

After a moment she turns to me. "Any, lets go, i wanna see if i can find him in his favorite places."

We walk out of the abandon building and back into the car.

"Where are we going?" I ask as i look over at her.

"Where I told Emily." She replies as she starts the engine. "To his favorite places."

I nod starring out the window as we drive away.

We drive for what seems like only a minute. I was gazing at Maria through the review mirror without noticing. Oh my God I'm such a horrible best friend.

We get into a bar then see a couple girls dancing, some boys watching them, and some people just drinking and laughing with their friends as they play some games.

Maria looks tough, way stronger than any of them. Plus cuter. I silently slapped myself for that one.

Maria looks around and sees someone them walks over to him. Everyone in the bar watching Maria cautiously, as she strides torwards a man with a buzz cut, blue eyes, blonde hair, and a ripped jacket with a white tank top underneath, along with some black jeans, and a chain on it.

He looks up at Maria and laughs. "Hello again my darling."

She grits her teeth. "Hello, Mike."

"Now what kind of pretty lady walks into here other than the ones dancing?" He asks as he gestures to the ladies dancing.

Maria grabs a chair, turns it so it's facing her, then sits in it backwards, laying her hands and arms on the back part of the chair as she stares at Mike. "Because I have a few questions to ask you."

He looks at Maria, then at me." And who's this?"

Right as i was about to say something, Maria cuts in. "None of your concern. Now, where's Josh?"

He smirks as he looks back at Maria. "And why should I tell you?"

"Because I'm asking you." She responds as she barrows her eyes at him. "And if you don't awnser my questions then--"

"Then what?" He laughs as he stands up.

Maria stands up going in front of him, starring up at him, whispering. "If you don't I'll make sure I track you down until you're dead or in a cell all your life, now sit down."

He slowly sits back down, grumbling. "okay fine, what do you want?"

"I want awnsers." She states as she sits back down in the same position. "Now, where is Josh."

He glares at Maria then laughs a little saying in-between laughs. "You're cute, you know that?"

"I'm bisexual not cute." She glares at Mike. "So how is this so funny to you? Are you trying to hide something from me? Is Josh doing something, oh i don't know, illegal?"

He stops laughing then stares at Maria as he grabs a cigarette then lights it, and puts it to his mouth, letting him suck in, before letting the smoke out after taking out the cigarette. "Why does it matter to you?"

"Because it's important." I can tell she's losing her patience now.

"Get me a drink then I'll tell you." He says in-between laughs. "You were a bar tender before, went you my dear?"

She grits her teeth as she stands up to grab him a drink, and walks away to go get him a drink.

I look at Mike then wave shyly. "Hi."

He looks at me then grins, his cigarette between his teeth. "Why hello young lady, please sit."

I smile weakly at the complement, sitting down like he asked.

"You're such a beautiful lady." He says. "And a really good listener."

"I get it from my mom." I say as i look at the table.

"What's the matter dear?" He looks at me concerned.

"It's my mom, i just miss her. She's traveling the world, i haven't seen her in about two months from today."

He frowns. "I see." He looks over at the window where there is snow hitting the window. "Well, why don't you take a drink eh?"

I look at him. "What?"

"How old are you dear?"

"I'm twenty. I'll be twenty one next month, on the twnety seventh of March."

He smiles at me."well then, here." He gives me a bottle of a type of beer.

I look at it for a moment then look at him worried. "Is it safe?"

"Of course it's safe!" He laughs. "Just try it, it's my favorite thing to drink! You should try it!"

"Okay..." I say as I open the cap. After a moment then take a sip. All i remember is my vision dimming then hearing him laugh as i pass out.
