CHAPTER 66

I find myself a cab which takes longer then I expected. It dropped me safely home of which I'm glad for. Both Vally and vabri aren't home so I just take a shower and wait for them.

"Mike, I got no idea where he is" I tell Mike. It is now evening and I waited the whole afternoon for them but they never came. I called Mike to come over as his closer with Vally then the rest of them. He came minutes after my call and also has no idea where Vally is.

We tried calling him but his phone isn't ringing which means he has put it off. "We'll find him" Mike says giving me a glass of water to drink. I am still upset with him but I don't want to be alone here. I do admit that I was wrong as he never did get upset when I was found talking to Victor.

"Lets go look for him" Mike says taking his car keys and I put on my boots before leaving with him. Mike goes to his sister house first but his not there. We go to all the other friends houses but they haven't seen or heard from him. It's my jealousy that has driven him away.

His never coming back and it's because of my stubbornness. I just hate myself right now. "Lets not give up. Lets go to the bar.. He could be there" Mike says and drives us to the bar. I jump out and wait for Mike to find a parking spot.

His car isn't in the parking lot which makes me want to cry more. Mike comes and hold my hand since the bar gets really rough late at night. "Hey Marco buddy. Have you seen Vally?" Mike asks Marco.

"No no. He never came here today.. Miss Brittney you look terrible is everything okay?" He ask me after noticing my swollen eyes from crying and my pink nose.

"I'm fine and nothing big happened" I say. They have a little chat about Vally and we finally leave empty handed once again.

"Do you want me to stay over for tonight?" Mike asks. I would love for him to stay over but I prefer being alone. "No, you got a girl to go to. Thanks for your help" I say and escort him out. He gives me a hug and tells me everything is going to be okay before leaving.

I start pacing up and down in the sitting room until I remember something. Vally had told me he goes to that forest whenever he is upset or sad and that's how he is now so he could be there. I grab a jacket and rush out to the garage.

I drive really fast to the forest he had first taken me. I park my car and run out into the forest. I finally reach the place he had taken me and see a figure standing near the river. "Vally, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say those things.. You are right my jealousy is going to break off things" I say walking towards him.

He doesn't move but stands still. "Please forgive me. I can't live without you also. Please. Please. Please. Forgive me" I say hugging him from behind and resting my head on his back. His cologne smells different from the one he put in the morning.

His back feels hard and his chest doesn't feel like his original chest. And Vally doesn't have a black jacket like this. That's when I realise it's not him. "You not Vally" I say moving backwards. The figure turns around and is wearing a mask.

He walks towards me and I trip on a brick falling hard on my ass. The figure starts laughing until he reaches me and takes out a already blooded knife. "Don't kill me please" I beg. The figure starts laughing out loud in a serial killer way.

"Please. I'll give you money, anything I'll give it to you" I beg but he doesn't budge. This is it. I'm going to die before I even make things right with Vally. I'm going to die before I even get a hug from my biological mother. I'm going to die. The figure puts the knife up all ready to stab me on the heart until a hand catches his hand.

"Brittney run" Vally says and I stand up and immediately run to the tree. Vally and the guy starts fighting with each other. I never took my phone. Stupid me. I should've called for help instead of watching the guy try and kill Vally. There is absolutely nothing I can do now.
