Amarah's Body chp.9

UH, I didn't really know what to do for this chapter so sorry if it stinks :/

CHAPTER 9

John sat in his room reading a magazine and listening to music on his ipod.

The phone ringing startled him

John got up from his bed and grabbed his cell phone from his desk flipping it open in the process

"Yello?"

John paused as he listened to the voice on the other side, a voice he hadn't heard in a long time

"Nathan! My man, what's going on?" John said leaning his elbow against his desk

"Hey John" said Nathan plainly

"Hey man! I haven't heard from you since..."

"Shut up!" Nathan snapped

"I'm sorry..." John said shaking his head. He knew he best friend had always been sensitive about what happened to his girlfriend

"It's...ok" Nathan said sounding like he was uncertain

"So what is it you called for?" asked John. "You've hardly spoke to anyone after what happened to Amarah"

John swore he could hear Nathan wince on the other end of the line

"I need  a favor" said Nathan slowly

"What kind of favor?"

"Well....could you come over later. I'd rather not talk about this over the phone"

"Uh, yeah, sure. You still live in the same place?" asked John

"Yeah"

"Well, alright then, I'll be there in a few"

"Thanks" Nathan replied before hanging up the phone

John scratched his head. What could Nathan possibly want? He hadn't heard from him in a few years and he thought he never would again.

John would just have to wait and see

He grabbed his keys and drove off to Nathan's house

A while later, John drove up to Nathan's house and rang the doorbell

A tired looking Nathan answered the door

"Hey" Nathan said and scratched his head looking worried

John studied Nathan carefully, his hair was a mess, his clothes looked worn and he looked like he hadn't slept in a week

"Hey man, everything ok?" asked John

"Not really" said Nathan

"Can I come in….?" asked John

"Sure" Nathan said and moved away from the door and walked back into his house

John walked in and closed the door behind him

"So what is it you wanted to talk to me about Nathan because honestly, you look like a piece of shit"

Nathan grimaced. "I know…"

"Well are you going to tell me?"

"Have a seat" Nathan said gesturing to the couch

John sat down and Nathan proceeded to tell John everything he had found out in the last few months

When Nathan was done, John sat with an open mouth and said "No way"
