The Blake Project: Book 2

Chapter 25

Blake's POV

Nothing's right, everything is all wrong in my life. Nichole's gone, Emma is in the hospital, I have no idea how Henry's trial went, I can't see my friends, and they are all most likely mad at me. I mean I would be pissed too.

I sighed and collapsed backwards onto my bed. This stupid probation officer really sucks for banning me from the hospital.

She probably thinks I don't care enough to see her.

I groaned and got up from my bed. I went into my closet and grabbed a light jacket before exiting room to go outside.

"C'mon Buddy" I called out

Buddy trotted over to me and allowed me to hook the leash to his collar.

I grabbed my set of keys off the hall table and went outside to be met with nothing.

"Fuck" I cursed, remembering my mom's car was in the shop, so she took my car to the hospital

I shoved my keys in my pocket and headed to my destination on foot. I just had to see her.

It was a long walk but I soon saw the large hill that signaled that we were growing nearer. We walked up to the the large entrance to the cemetery and made our way inside.

We walked the familiar path to Nichole's grave stone and I softly smiled when I saw it.

"Hey kiddo, did you miss me?" I asked as I sat down in front of it.

"I have to get you new flowers" I said seeing that the flowers I put down last week were dying.

I started picking at the grass in silence, as the night sky gave some comfort. Buddy sat next to me with his heavy panting and laid down in front of her grave, letting out a single bark.

I usually visit her at least once a week sometimes twice. On occasions my parents would come but they are usually busy.

"I know you probably already know this but Emma is in the hospital" I spoke

"I don't know how she is but can you just watch over her? I already lost you Nichole, I don't want to lose her too" I said

I laid down on my back and stared up at the stars, I would do anything to see her once again. I miss her voice, her adorable laugh, her annoying tea parties, even the times when she ratted me out to my parents.

I wish I could've traded places with her, she should've lived, fallen in love, and do regular things kids do these days. I already done more than enough living for a normal teenage boy and I have fallen in love.

Speaking of that, I have to figure out a way to see Emma, or any of my friends at this point. I have to know if they're ok and if they are willing to still be friends with me.

I can see Lola crawling back, Megan might be hesitant but she'll forgive me, it's Henry and Eric I'm worried about. I mean I put their girlfriends through hell.

I have to do something.

I took out my phone and dialed Henry's number. The rings went on for a long period of time before sending me straight to voice mail.

"Fuck you" I mumbled, redialing his number.

I called him about ten times and each time I got sent to voicemail.

Why do I even bother?

I tossed my phone away from me and closed my eyes. The silence of the night was calming me down until I heard a familiar voice.

My ring tone for Henry blared, which was his voice whining that I wasn't picking up the phone for him.

Buddy began to bark again at my phone, making me quickly sit up and grab my phone. I looked at the caller ID and saw the picture of Henry from one of our insane adventures. I clicked the green button and hesitantly placed the phone to my ear.
