24th of April 2010

I closed my old diary, because I stopped to write to it in the plane. There were just empty pages. I tried to send many letters to Vincent but I never got any reply. Jody said, that after I left, 2 more people mysteriously disappeared... Probably left quickly or stuffs like that. She and her family left to NY on September. I haven't seen her anymore. Right after my graduation in new school I started to work. I had two jobs - Mc'Donalds and cleaning houses. After half a year I moved from my parents to small apartment. I changed jobs many times. I was trying to study economy/business, I was usually cleaning offices/houses, I was bartender or waitress or shop assistant + I went to hobby centre to learn children how to make candles and sculptures from wax. I was doing this for almost 9 years and I saved up much money. Like a lot! Only thoughts on Vincent were keeping me sane. I was hoping, that he is still alive or okay. Or whatever at least. Maybe they have moved out. Who knows. But right now I am about to end this. This night, I'll go to Louisiana to some hotel. I'll stay there for one week, so I can rest, eat and „refresh" myself. And then I'll go straight to Ambrose.
The next few days I was only sleeping, eating and going for a walk. My eyebags has gone, my hair grew even more, I felt better, but I was still pale. I packed, paid, rented a car and I got on the road. I was driving for like four hours, when, near Ambrose, I saw some hitch-hikers.

Carly

I heard Wade talking to the roadkill driver. Seriously? I don't want him to go away with someone like that. I mean, he seemed harmless, but you never know. We said thank you and went on the road to try to hitch-hike some car. We were sitting there for two hours, when (finally!) we saw some car. The driver saw us and stopped. There came a girl with long black hair out of the car.
„Hello!" she said and smiled. „Where are you heading? Or where would you like to go?" „Um, we have broken um fan-belt, and some roadkill driver told us, that there is a gas station in nearby city - Ambrose." I said and I hoped, she'll take us. She thought about it and then nodded. „Sure. I'm going to Ambrose anyway. Get in the car!" We sat on the rear seat and she continued: „So, what are your names? I'm Lisabeth." „My name is Carly and this is my boyfriend, Wade. You have really nice name, Lisa." „Nice, thanks." She smiled and kept driving. She told us, that she has lived in Ambrose from her birth to her 17, when she had to moved. Suddenly, she stopped, when we saw there's some kind of small river, without bridge. „Okay-kay. The city is right behind this bush." We got out of the car and crossed the „river". Finally, we saw small, but gorgeous city.
„Thanks for the ride, we should pay you something!" I offered her, but she shook her hand. „Oh, it's okay." She smiled. „So, the fan belt? The gas station is there!" She pointed to a small gas station standing on the left side of city. Wade went there to check it out, but came back saying: „Noone's in there." „Well, maybe, he has a break. We can wait here, or go through the city, I'm sure he'll come back soon." This city looked really nice and kinda old, so I decide it to go through it. I took Wade by hand and went down the main street. Lisa was doing sth like our „guide". She was telling us some interesting stuffs and so. We saw someone in house behind the window, and Lisa said, that we were just spotted by old gossip Mrs. Baillif. We got to church and we heard some music coming from it. I and Wade decided to go there and Lisa was about to look for someone.

We opened the church door. There was a man, probably praying or something, who half angry, half surprised looked up at us and said: „What the heck you want here? It's goddamn funeral!"
„Ehm, sorry!" I quickly closed the door. „Damn, we came in the wrong moment. "So, did we just interrupt a funeral? I feel like an asshole again." Angry Wade sat on the ground. After 2 mins the man walked out of the door. „Sorry, I've ben so rude, what did you want?"
„Oh, no-no, it's totally understandable. Mm, our car is broken and we need something in the gas station. We met a girl, who took us here and she said, that there is a gas station and some Bo owns it." I tried to explain that, but i noticed, that the man was looking kinda... curiously at me.
„Yeah, yeah, okay... My name is Bo. Who told you about me?" He got serious, but smiled.
„Uh, that girl, what was her name, Carly? Lisabeth, I think. She said, that she lived here." said Wade quickly. „That b*tch?" Bo mumbled surprisedly. „Ee, yep, the gas station. Follow me."

Lisa

I didn't really want to go straight to the house, so I decided, that maybe, I should go to the House of wax. I came there, and I could see, that most of it haven't changed. There were some new statues, but I didn't look at them very properly, it wasn't very clean here, but all I was thinking about was just Vincent! How does he look like now? Has he changed his behavior? I was so curious! I was walking through the house, but I didn't go upstairs. When I was about to go away, I thought I saw someone. Could it be Vince?
I walked outside, went around the building but I haven't seen anyone. Carly and Wade were no more by the church I guess, they found Bo. So I decided to go to their house. It looked even older and dirtier than before. I guess they don't know what cleaning is... I knocked on the door, but I realized, that it's opened so, I walked in and started to feel nervous. I wrote him letters, bud he didn't reply me. Is he angry? Or dead? I was scared. But because I was inside I kept going, when I heard some noises coming from upstairs. „Hello? Is anyone upstairs?" I asked carefully. I heard the noise of opening door, I looked around me, when someone pushed me towards ground and I fell on my back.

Finally another chapter! So sorry it took me so long, I had many things to do. I hope you like it. Be sure to vote and leave a comment, so I could post new chapter very soon.
