Living with the Dead

Chapter 9

Nepal:

Well I guess life just sucks right now. So I know Indonesia is mad- alright pissed... I'm left alone at a coffee cafe and look like an idiot
I headed home in my car and on the way saw Indonesia's boyfriend in an abandoned alley. Oh man this is a shitty day. I groaned. Now I normally wouldn't stop and see what was going on but Megan and Sidney were there with him so I had to find out what the heck was going on.
I parked a couple of blocks from the alley so it wouldn't look too suspicious. I walked down the old abandoned shops that closed down long ago. I turned down an alley and saw: no one.
I could've sworn Indi's boyfriend, and Megan and Sydney had been here. I smelled a faint fragrance in the air. It was a mixture of cherry blossoms and vanilla. The fragrance got stronger near the farther end of the alley until it led into a vent.
Great I groaned. I'm taking the risk of finding out why these two girls are alone with Indi's boyfriend and I'm not even sure that their really here. It's just a hunch. So I finally decided that Indonesia was worth it.
I took a blade I kept in my pocket and used it to pry the iron grate off the wall. It was a tight fit. Thank God I wasn't claustrophobic or I would have a heart attack. I crawled in the vent which led me to a tunnel system. I can't believe the two most popular girls crawling through a vent but you know you learn something every day.
As I crawled the maze of tunnels I guessed which path to take based off the perfume fragrance. After about a dozen turns I heard whispering voices and peeked through the grate.
I saw Indi's boyfriend tied to a wall and I gasped at the sight. Megan and Sydney were talking. The room was a abandoned store with a faded dusty counter with cobwebs. Dirt, dust, and mildew covered the empty shelves.
"Good idea Megan... Indonesia is gonna eventually destroy herself so the only thing that will kill her more is her boyfriend Autumn getting hurt." Sydney said.
"Let's see... What to do... I heard your relationship was intense... No wonder what she would do if she found out I hurt you."
"She would make sure your bloody life was destroyed!" Autumn said angrily.
Sydney scowled and whispered something to Megan which made them snicker.
Sydney walked over to him and walked sexily doing so.
I had a bad feeling about this. I'm 99% sure she was trying to turn him on. Now that I look back on this and I feel bad for watching and not giving action. But it probably would've done no good attacking them because I would be outnumbered.
Let me just tell you what happened in this 10 minutes of eavesdropping would've made Indonesia literally murder these bitches on the spot. Finally Sydney was done making out and left with Megan and told him they would be back later that night.
I finally manned up and carefully removed the grate and climbed down. I removed the bounds from Autumn and he fell to the floor. I let him lean on me and I took him to my car. He was a bit groggy and tired. He looked like hell and his shirt was tattered.
"Don't tell this to Indonesia... I can't let her know what they did to me." Autumn said.
I nodded. Women these days... Never would understand the simplicity of a man.
"By the way I'm sorry I called you a "thing" several months ago and insulted your music."
"It's cool... I'm sorry I called you a female dog... I don't know it just I guess we got caught up in the moment."
"Yeah" I agreed.
There was no way I was going to go through that ventilation system again. I went to the dirty glass door and tried to push it open. It was glued shut. I pushed and kicked it and soon it budged just the tiniest bit. After 30 minutes of kicking at it the door popped open and I helped Autumn get to my car and drove him home.
"By the way Autumn just so we are clear... How did you get taken to this abandoned store?"
"Well I was drunk and then Sydney and Megan knocked on my door and told me Indonesia wanted to see me. I was drunk and a bit hazy so I can't remember all the details but I ended up being sexually abused then you came."
"Oh..."
We soon came to his house and I helped him get to his room and then hoped back into my car and drove off to my house.
I thought about today's happenings. I mean I don't know what to do anymore. My best friend is everything to me and life without her isn't worth living. Maybe there is a way to let her live. I thought. She will be happy again and have her perfect life. She will get married have children of her own and live happily ever after.
I grabbed a pen and paper and started to write. On the top part of the paper I wrote: "My plan to help Indonesia Live."
