Remember Us

Chapter Twelve

VOTE&COMMENT PLEASE!!!

Nick and Katelyn were waiting at the airport for me when I got there. Katelyn was the first to scream my name and then follow up with jumping on me.

“Hey guys!” I say excitedly, though exhaustion had yet to take over and you could hear it in my voice.

“I’m so happy you’re back!” Katelyn screams once again.

Nick just laughs and shakes his head, “calm down Kate, I’m sure Julie’s tired.”

I smile, “thanks. Let’s get back to the house Nick, so that I can at least get some sleep in before tomorrow.”

They both agree and we drive back to his apartment. Surprisingly, Katelyn was staying with us to by telling her mom she was at a friend’s house. I’m sure Adam wouldn’t be too happy about that but I wasn’t going to say anything. We enter the house and it really looks like a teenage boys house. It wasn’t really messy but it also wasn’t tip-top shape either.

“which room am I sleeping in.”

“you’ll have the guest bedroom. It’s the one on the right. And don’t worry, it’s clean.”

I look at the two of them, “and where will Katelyn be sleeping?” I ask cautiously.

“aw, come on sis! Don’t be like that.”

“sis?” I laugh, “really Katelyn, you’re already calling me sis? And surely I can be like that, if I am a ‘sis’ then it’s my duty to make sure your brother isn’t going to kill me when he finds out.”

“if he finds out.” Katelyn adds. She looked nervous while Nick was just smirking.

“really Kate, honey, you’re totally oblivious. Julie’s not going to say anything and she’s just messing with you.”

“psh, you’re no fun Nick.”

“yeah, yeah. Get to bed now, you don’t want to be tired for tomorrow.”

“whatever. good night you two. And don’t stay up too late.” I walk into the bedroom and drop my things next to the door, deciding to unpack tomorrow.

After getting ready for the day I walk into the kitchen where Nick and Katelyn were. “can I borrow the car today?” I ask, not really feeling like going out and renting one.

“of course.” Nick tosses me the keys. “have fun.”

“yes, fun, that’s what this is going to be.” I say sarcastically and grab an apple on the way out.

I drive straight to the house that I knew all too well. It took the person about five seconds to get to the door when I knocked and that person was Guy. “Juliana?” He asks, sounding confused but there was also an edge of relief in his voice.

Before I could explain I heard some screaming from another room. “hi.”

“It’s good that you’re here.” He says with a forced smile.

There was another scream in Italian so thick that I couldn’t understand. “should I-” I motion back to the car.

“no, no. please, come on in.” I step inside and hear the door close behind me. When I turn around I notice that Guy made a run for it. I laugh shortly and quietly follow the sound of voices. It led me to the living-room where I sat so many times before.

“Nonèpiù tua (It’s not yours anymore!).” Jacqueline yells.

“néètuo (Neither is it yours!).” The other woman argues
