Gone Forever

Chapter 22-Mia

Thalia's POV

It's been a week since the boys were arrested and Riley and I have had nothing to do. I don't know if that's because they always suggest fun activities or if we're just thinking about them too much and missing them.

"We should ac..." I start but I'm interrupted by a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Riley says. She goes up to the door and it's Mia.
"Thank you," Mia says, walking past Riley,"Sit down I have something to tell you." Riley sits down next to me.
"I don't know how to say this but...James is...dead."
"No he isn't he's just been arrested how would you know anyway?" Riley aks.

"He was told by the police officer that you were dead so he committed suicide."
"How can I trust you?"

"Why would I lie about this?"
"That's a stupid question so if this even is true how do you know?"
"I saw it in the newspaper."

"Can I see the newspaper?"
"I wish you could but it broke my heart so much that I threw it in my fireplace."

"You don't even know him."
"You do and I don't want you to be sad."

Mia's POV

James isn't really dead. I really don't like Riley and if she just believed me I know that something bad will have happened. My heaven way for this to turn out would be Romeo and Juliet when everyone dies but that's too unrealistic.
"Fine," I say,"Suit yourself but just to let you know, three months have turned into forever." I then leave. Hopefully something would have made her think.

Riley's POV

"Do you think he's really dead?" I ask.

"No. Of course not. Mia's someone that you should never trust," Thalia replies.

"But he could be dead, he has risked his life for me before."

"But this isn't risking his life this is because he would want to live without you!"

"Would it be safer to believe she's telling the truth?"

"No way. I know James is quite stupid but he is not dead. I bet Mia doesn't even have a fireplace! Repeat what I say: James is not dead and Mia is lying."

"Thalia that doesn't help."
"Say it."
"James is not dead and Mia is lying."
"Better?"

"Not really. I need some time alone." I get up and walk up to mine and James's bedroom. I can't wait two and a half months to find out whether my boyfriend's alive or not! I sit on the bed and rest my chin on my hands. Normally when I'm going through a time like this James would be helping me but that can't happen because he's dead. I don't know why but I'm believing Mia.
"James is alive James is alive James is alive," I keep telling myself, each time I say it my voice gets louder and louder until I get stopped.

"Boyfriends being dead is hard, no point in living really," I hear someone say. I look over and it's Mia,"Don't worry, I'll do it for you." I look at her confused but then I realize what she's saying. She holding a gun out. She's going to kill m...
