Everything was moving in slow motion. The beads of sweats running down his temples. The look of fear in his eyes as they darted from me to Alice was so fast I wonder if I'm imagining it. The gun in Cameron's hand never wavered either. I wanted to speak up and tell them to stop or at least flee the scene but my body was paralyzed, my hands never twitched from around my mouth. Cameron was so angry I swear god wouldn’t dare intervene. Even the wind slowed to a stop. John's mouth moved but no words came out.
“ Maybe This..” Alice started to say. It was too late. Two bullets were blasted into his legs. The blood splattered all over while Alice let out a blood curdling scream. Alice ran to the side of her house where a forest was located. I went to follow her but soon stopped dead in my tracks. You see although it was still light outside,he huge amount of thick trees made it seem like it was pitch black outside. I hollered her name several times,but to no success. I called her phone and heard a faint ringing and ran toward the sound. I hung up my phone to see her leaning on a huge oak tree in an attempt to hold herself upright. Tears were flowing from her eyes. I hated seeing her this way. It destroyed me to know that someone had the nerve to do this to my bestfriend. I sat there. I felt so powerless. I turned slightly away from her and fixed my eyes unto the ground in a lame attempt to not cry. Remember you breathing excersies I reminded myself. In. Out. In.Out.In.......apperently somewhere during the breathing ritule I zoned out but I still efused to tear my eyes on the ground
I felt a tug on my arm. I looked over to see it was cameron.
"we gotta go now" he tugged me all the way to the car. He opened it and I seated myself,still spaced out by the event that happened befoe me today.Then it hit me. Alice . I started looking frantically in the most ridicolous places in search of my bestfriend.
"where is alice" I looked hopelessly at Cameron who had now got fully seated in the drivers seat. He opened his mouth only to be cut off.
" Im right here in the back nit wit." she practically sang
"OKAY..good now your coming with us"
" NO CAN DO SUGARFOOT....I call grandmother and she insisted I spend a few at hers.."even when she just got raped she was still the world's biggest prick.
"better get comfortable bestie its gonna be a long ride" At her words I rearranged myself in the passenger seat and closed my eyes. what a day
CAMERON'S POV
She's an angel when she is asleep. Damn I sound whipped. But she was fine as hell. Her body pink lips looked really kissable right now. She slept almost like a toddler. I had to drop her bestfriend off to her NaNa's house but everytime there was a red light I used it as my time to glance at her. Man I couldn't get this stupid grin off my face.
"Dude! stop staring to my best friend before she wakes up creeper"
"I was not staring"
"was too"
"was not'"
"was too!"
"anyways where do I drop you"
"About just drop me at the nearest motel"
"wait where is your grandmother that you told ..."
"dead. Its just I don't want her worrying about me"
"She has all right to! your staying with me and her tonight" I insisted. Through the rear view mirror I tried my hardest to give her a genuine smile but the one she returned was anything but friendly.
~When they got to the house~ ~Still Cameron's Pov BTW~
We finally arrived to my place. I opened the door for Alice and I carried rena bridal style into my house seeing as how she was sleeping so peacefully. I told alice which key was for the house and she unlocked it as I laid rena in my bed. I tucked her under the covers and walked off to see where Alice was. I called out her name but no response. Weird. I heard the flat screen on so I went towards the sounds to see her crumpled up on the floor leaning on the sofa crying her eyes out.TO be frank I hate when girls cry but if this was renas best friend I was gonna try to deal with it. I slid down next to her and wrapped my arm around her small frame. she tried to reject my embrace ,but when she realized i wasnt going anywhere anytime soon she hugged me back. I rocked our bodies and whispered hushed im sorrys until I heard her cries turn into light snores. I rested my head on the side of the couch and decided to rest my eyes.
