Love Hurts

Chapter 20

Prince looked at me as if I were crazy.

Prince: What do you mean A'nyah possessed him?

Me: What do you think I mean? Clearly the sentence explains what I mean.

Prince: But, how? How is that possible?

Me: I honestly don't know. I think she's like a demonic creature trying to get revenge on me.

Prince: Because you killed her?

Me: For the record I technically didn't kill her but yes.

Prince: Man. That's messed up.

Me: I know and now I need help from you guys.

Prince: Why us?

Me: Because you guys were A'nyah and mine best friends. The four of you knew us like the back of y'alls hand. Y'all know what triggers specific emotions in us and how to manipulate us to do dumb stuff. I need you to do that for me. Manipulate her or something. I know she has a soft spot for you. Just help me. Too many people have lost their lives and I'm trying to prevent the lost of another one.

Prince: Alright. But we can't think of a plan in this house. It's too depressing. What about yours?

I thought for a moment. It's not like my house wasn't a good place and I don't think A'nyah would go to someone's house that she hates.

Me: Maybe that could-

Just then I thought of the treehouse in the woods we use to go to.

Me: Let's go to the treehouse.

Prince: The treehouse? You really think it would fit 5 fully grown teenagers without breaking and probably killing us?

Me: Yeah you're right. My house it is then.

Prince: Alright cool I'll tell the guys to come-

Me: Um no. You guys will not walk in my house without taking a shower. I want 30 mins showers from each of you with and I want you wearing newly washed clothes.

Prince: We don't have time for 30 minute showers.

Me: Okay 29 mins. There are like 10 bathrooms in the house. Use them. Now!

Prince: Fine.

Me: I'll be at my house. You guys come when you're done okay?

Prince: Alright.

I leave the foul smelling house and walk home. The brisk winds and cold air make me shiver. It's mid fall and already 50° outside. I really should've worn a jacket. Suddenly the thought of my mom popped up in my head.

I haven't been home in a couple of days. I really hope she isn't too worried about me or worse...dead. I walk up the door step and knock. No answer. I knock again, this time even louder than before. Still nothing. I begin to pound the door until my fist bleed trying to convince myself that she is still inside. I know she isn't. I twist the knob and the door creaks open.

Everything is how I left it that morning except there is a note on the coffee table in the living room. I open it and read it. It says:

Hey baby girl, it's Mom. If you're reading this don't worry about me. I'm in a better place now.

I stop reading and come to the conclusion that she's dead. I keep reading even though I know the ending.

I'm surrounded my loving people and palm trees. It's so nice here. You'll see me soon baby. If you wanna come visit me I left money for a plane ticket in the safe. Hawaii is just so nice ya know? Oh and I'm going through remission with my cancer so I'm fine for now. I love you. Keep the house clean for me.

I let out a sigh of relief and start laughing. My mom is in Hawaii and she's not dead. That made me feel so good. I just might take the chance and visit her. But first I need to fix this A'nyah problem. I walk upstairs to my room to wait for the boys. My door is closed... I never close my door. I open it and inside reveals my worst nightmare.

Hey guys I know you missed me. But anyways I'm sorry I haven't updated in like...9 months. I've been extremely busy..But I'm backkkk now.
