Chapter Nineteen (TW: Suicide)

*Major Time skip.*

I had been living with Sal, Todd and Neil for around 3 years now. Todd and Sal had gotten into finding out more about the cult. Todd literally converted our shed into like a paranormal laboratory. Apparently he was really close to finding it all out. Me and Sal were better than ever. We are still together. We celebrated our 22 birthday a couple of months ago. I hadn't seen Ash since summer 3 years ago either. She went off to art school. We still text everyday though. Maple and Chug have a beautiful baby girl, her name is Soda. I had something to tell Sal that I couldn't bring myself to say yet. Me, Sal and Larry alway babysit Soda, but I don't know if Sal wants kids of his own. Larry was still just Larry but he was moving out of the apartments. Lisa and Sal's dad are now married. Their wedding was so beautiful. I was hinting at Sal the whole day. I'd love to get married. We were supposed to be helping Larry move his stuff out today so we were heading to the apartments. "It's kinda crazy.." I said to Sal as we were walking. "What is?" He asked. "That everyone is grown up now." I said laughing. "Yeah, but Larry will never grow up at heart." Sal said patting my back. That was the truth. Around this time we had ruled out that dream I had about us all dying a few years ago was just a dream and not a vision because Larry was still here and still Larry. We got to the apartments. We went down to the basement. Larry was there. Larry had grown a lot, me and Sal expected him to stay lanky and skinny but instead he got taller and buffer. "Yo." He said to us. "Hey Larry." I said looking around at the empty apartment. "It's sad isn't it?" He said, he has tears in his eyes. "Yeah.." I agreed, it was sad, we had made most of our memories in this basement. "We'll make more memories." I said patting his back. He nodded. We decided to go check on everyone in the apartment. On the first floor. Only Mr. Addison answered. "Hello, my fellow friends." He said cheerfully. "Hey Terence, it's Larry's last day there." I said nudging Larry. "Ah, yes. I wish you the best for the future." He said sounding sorrowful. "You have all grown into amazing people." He added. We all thanked him. We headed up to floor two. We knocked on Todd's parents door. "Heyyyyy, guyysss." Todd's mom said opening the door. "Hey Mrs.Morrison, how are you?" Sal asked. "Great asssss ever." She sang. "That's great, well we better go." Larry said. No one else lived on floor two anymore so we went up to floor 3. We knocked on David's door. He opened it. "Hiya, guyz, what yinz up to?" He said slowly. "Nothing much David, it's Larry's last day in the apartments." I said. "Awh, man no wayz, all the bez. Well anywayz I got tiz go." He said closing the door. We knocked on Cj's place but he wasn't home. We went to Maple and Chug's place. Soda ran over to Sal. I thought it was the cutest thing ever. "She has a rash, so don't pick her up Sal." Maple said softly. I sat down beside her. Breathing out heavily. "You alright?" She asked, Sal was playing with Soda and so was Larry. "Do you think Sal would want to be a daddy?" I asked her quietly. "I think he would love to be." She said looking down at my stomach. "I don't wanna ruin his life though." I said looking at her. "Are you pregnant?" She asked in a whisper. "Come on Connie, we need to see Lisa and my Dad first before going to see Ash." Sal interrupted. I waved Maple off before leaving. We went up to floor 4. We knocked on Henry and Lisa's door. Lisa opened it. "Hey guys. Larry are you all packed up?" Said asked him. "Yeah. Mom I should be out in 3 days." He said celebrating. She smiled. Henry walked over to the door. "You all should come over for dinner tonight, you too Connie. We should all have a family reunion." He said putting his arm around Lisa's shoulder. "We are actually meeting Ash tonight, but if we are done early. Then sure." Sal said. I couldn't wait to see Ash. Larry couldn't go because he said he has to smoke for the last time in his old room. "Okay. Doors always open." They said before closing the door. It was already getting pretty late so we decided to go home and get ready to go see Ash. Larry stopped us before we left the apartments. "Do you guys feel like a cloud of darkness over you lately?" He asked looking at the floor. "What do you mean?" I asked him. "Like calm before the storm, like its too calm and something is just waiting to get you." He said shivering slightly. "It's probably the nerves of moving out Larry you'll be fine. Our phones are on if you need us." I said patting his shoulder.
We got back to our house. "That was weird." I said. "Yeah, Larry?" He asked. "Yeah, he's never like that." I said tying up my hair. "It is probably just the move." Sal said coming over and hugging me. He then walked out of the room to make us coffee. I had something to the Sal but I just couldn't get it out. I had taken a pregnancy test about 3 weeks ago and it was positive. He was confused on why I wasn't smoking weed with Larry anymore but I just said I'm quitting. I didn't want to tell him because he was still working on the cult investigation. I didn't want to make him settle down too early.
"Hey, you ready?" Sal said breaking me out of my day dream. "Yeah, let's go." I said getting up. We left the house.
We got to Wendigo Lake and Ash was already sat down underneath a tree. "Ash!" I shouted running over. I wanted Ash to be the first person I told about my pregnancy. "Connie." She stood up throwing her arms around me. "Your hair." I said shocked. Her hair was cut up to her shoulders. "Yeah, needed to cut so I could ride my bike." She said pointing at her motorcycle. "I have something to tell you." I said to her. "But we can't let Sal hear." I added on. She nodded and pointed to another tree about 20 feet from there. "One minute Sal." I said before we walked over to the tree. "So what is it?" She said worried. "I'm..." I paused. She nudged me. "You know you can tell me everything and anything." She smiled. "I'm pregnant." I whispered. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. "WHAT?!" She said loudly, which made Sal look over. "SHHHH!" I exclaimed. She covered her mouth. "Sorry, sorry. Omg I'm so happy for you." She said hugging me tightly. "Careful not to kill it Ash." I said laughing, she loosened her grip. "Why haven't you told Sal?" She asked. "He's working on the cult investigation. I don't want to drag him away from his interests." I said looking at the floor. "That's crazy talk.. He would put you first in an instant, you already are first." She said patting my back. "Okay.. I'll tell him tonight." I said smiling.

We walked back over to Sal. "What were yous talking about?" Sal asked. "Girl stuff." Ash said quickly. Life saver. We sat down at the lake for 2 hours talking about our lives and how much fun we've had together.
"I'll be around for the next few weeks, call me." Ash said getting onto her motorcycle. "Yeah, see ya around Ash." I said hugging her. She put her helmet on and sped off. Me and Sal walked home holding hands.
We got home and decided to chill and watch a movie. Todd wasn't home because he was taking evening classes. Sal's phone buzzed. It was Larry. "Sal, I'm sorry dude, please don't blame yourself." It read. "Sorry for what, what are you talking about." Sal texted back. By now we were both up of the bed and I was putting on my shoes. "It's time for me to go." The text popped up before both of us. I looked up and Sal and frantically started walking around the room. "You better not be doing anything stupid." Sal replied to him. I handed him his jacket and shoes. "It's too late, I'll be gone soon." Larry responded. Sal's hands were shaking. "Stop messing around Larry this isn't funny." He sent. His grip on his phone was so tight. No answer. "Hey?" He texted again. "Larry?" He texted another. No response. He decided to ring him instead. "Pick up.." He whispered. It kept ringing. "Pick up the phone, Larry." He said desperately. It kept ringing. "You better pick up." He said his arm shaking holding the phone. He started putting on his shoes while it was ringing. "Oh, god Larry." He said, I could hear his sniffles. I grabbed his hand. We ran out of the house to get to Addison Apartments as fast as we could.
We got there and headed straight down to the basement. He was nowhere to be seen. "Larry?" Sal called out. "LARRY?!" He then screamed looking through his apartment. "Where the hell are you?!" He yelled. I followed Sal everywhere he went. He ran out towards the treehouse, so I ran with him. There was a note attached to the tree. Sal read it and immediately broke down. Screaming. "No! LARRY! WHAT DID YOU DO?! LARRY WHY?!" He fell the the floor beside the tree. I bent down. "Sal.." I said softly. He just handed me the note. " Sal, I know this is gonna be hard for you to understand. I'm sorry. Please don't blame yourself and please don't hate me. I was lucky to have you in my life." Tears streamed down my face, he had actually done it. I decided to climb up into the treehouse and see if his body was there, but nothing, just an empty bottle of whiskey. When I got back down Sal was delirious, talking to himself. "Sal?" I said quietly. He looked at me. I was now crying as well. He instantly just went to talking to himself about how we should have listened to Larry. I decided to ring Todd. Todd showed up with Sal's guitar. He has modified it to be able to bring out ghosts. They went into the treehouse to try contact Larry. I stayed at the bottom of the tree. I sat and cried into my hands. I couldn't believe Larry actually did that. There was a huge screeching noise that literally shook the Earth.
I looked up and Sal was on his way out of the treehouse. I stood up. But he didn't even look at me. "Sal?" I said putting my hand on his shoulder. He didn't reply. He just stared forward holding his guitar. He then started whispering to himself about impending evil and death. "I'm going to call Ash okay, wait here." I said before heading out to the entrance. "Hey Ash, can you get to the apartments.. now." I said my nose stuffy. "Yeah, but what's up everything okay?" She asked, I could hear her already standing up. "Larry.. he .. Larry killed himself." I said sniffling. "What?" Ash said pausing all movement. "Yeah.. he texted Sal..now Sal is going crazy. Talking to himself." I said frantically. "Okay. I'll come now." She said hanging up. I went back to the basement to go to Sal.

"Sal?" I called out, he was gone. Him and Todd both weren't in the treehouse or in the basement. He couldn't have left, because I was stood at the entrance.
Where was Sal?
