Friends Til' The End

11

I got in the car, placed Chucky next to me and buckled him up. Once he was buckled up I then buckled myself in. When I was secure Leah drove off. "Sorry it took a while for me to come, my friend just lost his mother, she jumped out the window so I was with him," I said.

"Oh no, how's he doing?" Leah asked, her voice laced with concern.

"Not good, I was actually hoping to go to his house tomorrow afternoon to keep him company," I said.

"That sounds lovely, I'm sure he'll enjoy the company," Leah said, then it was silent for a bit.

"Can we go to the hospital? I would like to see my mother" I asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Okay dear, but I'll warn you that she may look different and will probably be in a coma," Leah said as she now made her way to the hospital. When we got there I grabbed Chucky and got out, Leah led me inside to the front desk. "Hello, we're here to see Rose Williams," Leah said.

"Are you family?" She asked.

"Yes, I am her daughter," I said.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry," she said.

"Can we see her?" I asked, starting to get impatient.

"Oh yes, she's in room 213," she said I nodded, Leah and I left to go find the room.

When we found it Leah said, "I'll wait over there to give you some privacy."

"Thanks," I said and went inside with Chucky. My mom was hooked up to a bunch of machines. I closed the blinds and put Chucky down. "Mom I'm so sorry for everything I've ever done or given you and dad a hard time," I said as I sat down in the chair and grabbed her hand, using my other one to wipe my tears away.

I sat in silence until Chucky said "Doll I'm sorry that you're going through this" who knew that Chucky felt sorry. I smiled at him, "but I do have one question. Did you mean what you said to Karen about me?" Chucky asked.

"Yes," I said.

"Well I trust you to an extent, but I go with you because you can't keep your mouth shut, but if you do anything to break the trust, trust me you don't want to know what I'll do," Chucky said.

"Why would I betray you Chucky? If that's all you're worried about, it's never going to happen. Now that, that's settled I have a question for you, how did you know that you were a killer?" I asked.

"I was born like this. I've always been different, on Halloween when I was seven I found a razor in my apple, I took a bite as I wanted to cause pain to someone and at the time that person just so happened to be me. Then I ended up killing my mother accepting the fact that this was me, I enjoy killing people, it's who I have and always will be" Chucky said.

"Okay," I said. He looked confused, "I can't tell you who you are and I certainly can't change who you are, but what I can do is accept you. Which I would rather do than fight and try to change you" I said with a shrug.

"Kid, that's smart of you. The last person who tried to get me to stop killing, I killed" Chucky said.

"Anyways we should probably go now," I said, Chucky nodded. "I'll see you soon mom," I said and gave her a kiss and picked Chucky up. I left the room and went to find Leah. I ended up running into Kyle. "Fuck" I said when I saw her, I felt amusement and annoyance from Chucky.

Kyle turned around when she heard me. "Hello Maya, what are you doing here?" Kyle asked.

"I'm visiting my mother," I said, trying to keep the annoyance out of my voice. "What about you?" I asked.

"My brother Andy had an accident," Kyle said.

"Oh no, I hope he gets better. If you don't mind me asking what happened?" I asked.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Kyle said. So something to do with Chucky, now I really want to know but I have to be careful.

"Humour me," I said. "Just replace whatever you think I wouldn't believe with red," I suggested.

"Okay, so me and Andy have been hunting red for the past five years there are six of them, we have successfully killed three of them, we know there's at least two here in Hackensack. We're just waiting for the third who we have a feeling about to come forward, then there's one more that we haven't found yet. When we found the other one on a farm between Maywood and here, we killed red but not before red sliced open Andy's leg as he wanted to go in alone, which was stupid on his part, but as red left the room I surprised and killed red" Kyle said.

"I'll tell you what I think, and I may get in trouble for saying it but I don't care. I think you should leave red alone before the both of you get seriously hurt or someone close to you as it sounds like red is extremely dangerous. As I'm sure you have been hunting red, red has been studying you to find out where to strike next to cause the most pain. My friend's father was killed, so we've also been hunting a terrible person to try and get revenge, but we're being smart, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Based on what I know about black, I know that heads will be rolling. Just be careful Mrs. Johnson, you don't know what you're dealing with. I'm sure red is smart and knows about your husband. It would be a shame if anything were to happen, as I was able to notice your ring after talking, what a total of thirty minutes. I'm sure red would be smart enough to find out as well. Anyways I hope Andy gets better. Come on Chucky we have to find Leah. I'll see you on Monday Mrs. Johnson" I said. I gave Kyle a wink just to toy with her and left.

I found Leah in the waiting room down the hall, as we circled back around to leave, Kyle had a look of panic on her face, I gave her a smile and a wave as we passed her. We left the hospital, got in the car and drove back to the house. As we entered the house Sam gave Leah a kiss. "Just in time, supper just finished," Sam said. So we went to the dining room. I placed Chucky in his spot after I sat down. Today for supper we were having BBQ chicken and salad, it smelled good.

When I finished I put my plate in the sink, grabbed Chucky and went downstairs to my room. As I entered my room, I put Chucky down and got on the bed and took out my phone. I saw the Junior sent me a message, it read as 'Hey Maya, thanks for being there today, Jake is being a pain in the ass, and my father has been drinking non-stop since finding out about mom' I sighed, I'm sure this is what Charles wanted to happen. So I sent a message back to him, 'I'm so sorry about your mom Junior, I'm sure everything will work out as it should. How are you holding up?' I hit send and placed my phone down. "Before you go off on me about saying something I shouldn't have, I don't care I got the reaction I was going for. She is now worried and more likely to make a mistake, and not once did I say anything about you being alive" I said as I looked up from my phone.

"No, but you fucking implied it" Chucky snapped, fair point.

"But is she going to put two and two together?" I asked "and if she does try to get me to say that you're alive I can easily say that you're not. It's really no big deal."

"Open the fucking window I need to let off steam" Chucky snapped so I got off the bed and allowed him out.

"See you tomorrow Chucky," I said as he left he gave me the middle finger before leaving, I laughed as I sat back on the bed. I opened my phone to start doing some research on the Casanova killer for my essay. After finding out how many people that are confirmed killed I got a message from Junior so I opened it 'I don't know how I'm doing I'm in shock and can't believe she's gone. Her funeral is on Monday, I'm hoping you'll come as it'll be nice for some there to care about me'. So I typed a response 'of course I'll be there. I care about you Junior and I feel like you need the support because it looks like no one else will support you. I'm here you can tell me anything and it won't surprise me as I may have already been through it you never know and I won't think you're crazy no matter what :)' I hit send and continued doing research for my essay.

After about an hour of doing research I got another message 'Thanks Maya, would you like to come over on Sunday? We can talk' I quickly responded with 'Sure I'll see you on Sunday' I hit send and then put my phone down. I got up off the bed, and got my things for a shower before heading to the bathroom. I got in the shower as it was getting late. After I got out it was close to eleven so I brushed my teeth, plugged my phone in, got in bed, brought Terry to my chest, and fell asleep.
