Man in Black

6. Camping.

Andrew, crystal, Lexi, and Damon walked in to find me sitting on my bed eating food, while Duncan stared at me.

“ Hello Mr. William!  ” everyone said one by one greeting him, he just nodded his head.

I looked at them Lexi mouthing he is so amazing, I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I don't need another Jessica.

“Mr. White, we will be leaving in a while,” Duncan said looking at Andrew.

I started choking on the food, dint he say we will be leaving for Florida after two days. He immediately squatted making me drink the water. He slowly rubbed my back sitting next to me on the bed.

“ you said, we would be leaving for Florida a couple of days later right ?” I asked looking at him.

“ yes !”

“ what about today night ?” I asked confused.

“ I have a house here as well, the place where I am staying,” he said

“ what do you mean by we?”

“ you and I ”

“Yeah, I wouldn't be coming,” I said calmly if he could answer my questions with a poker face I can too, but the reactions I got were huh!.

“ what? ” Lexi and Andrew yelled making me flinch, Duncan stood up looking at me for more explanation.

“ why baby girl? ” he asked, so softly and taking it better than those idiots.

“ Hmm, it's the last two days of my life in this house, I have so many memories here, and I am not yet prepared to leave it so..., ” I said raising my eyebrows asking them to figure out the rest.

“ fine, I'll stay too,” Duncan said.

“ No! ” I said way too fast immediately regretting, he dint express anything, but my dear friends did that for him, with their ohs and ouch and what not.

“ it's just that, .....” I was about to explain but he stopped me, I am really happy because I dint know what to say.

“ sleep, tight baby girl," he said kissing me on my head and he walked away after he acknowledged the presence of my friends, I dint mean to be mean but I wanted to be alone in my room, filled with memories of my friends and Andrew, where I cried, laughed, fought with Andrew, I am going to leave everything behind, my friends, Andrew, I know once I step out of this room I will not be Alicia white anymore, I would be Alicia William and I still wanted to be me for the last time.

************************************

It is one a.m. in the morning I am getting ready to go campaigning in the woods along with my friends, I wore my black stretchy pants, with my pink baseball t-shirt, along with my brown cardigan and my pink beanie and my white canvas shoes, I carried a small bag with all necessary items like chocolates, water bottles, tea bags, etc I placed the bag on my shoulder opening the bedroom window I slowly placed my right leg first and then my left leg sliding out without much effort, my room is in the ground floor so the window is quite close to the ground, the part where I have to put effort is to walk towards the gate because the grass makes all kinds of noise as we walk through it, so I gently walk tiptoeing. I felt accomplished when I  reached the road and started walking, I dint take my car as it would make a lot of noise not only waking up my parents but the entire people in this area. I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard someone clear their throat,  slowly turning back I  found Duncan leaning on the hood of his car looking at me, the suit gone, he is wearing black jeans, a grey t-shirt, a black cardigan, black gloves and a black scarf around his neck.
