The Wedding Ring

Chapter 3: Dead man

"HEY ASSHOLE" I said stumbling across the room with a bottle in my hand and when Gerald turned around to see me I half assed a hit to the head but instead I hit part of  his shoulder and fell right next to him.

Hey I tried.

"What the-" Gerald said looking at me on the floor. "Yeah I don't know what that was, get your trashy friends home Nat" he said and took a few steps away from me

"Who you callin' trashy asshole" Hannah then said and hit him in the head with a vase, not enough to knock him out but he stumbled backwards and tripped over the sofa hitting his head on the coffee table and falling to the floor.

"OH MY GOD" Hannah yelled out.  "IS HE DEAD?!"

"Oh crap crap crap" Natatlie said walking over to Gerald whom was on the floor and I got myself up from the floor.

"Holy shit I MURDERED A MAN" Hannah yelled out.

"SHUT UP" I told her and crawled next to Gerald, I opened his eye and put my ear on his nose. "He's still breathing, there's no blood what so ever" I said while Natalie and Hannah looked terrified at me.

"What the hell are we going to do, I am missing my wedding ring and plus like Gerald won't remember any of this!" Natalie said.

"Okay okay, just think back, where was the last place you saw your ring?" Sabrina asked Natalie.

"I don't know I was....." she said thinking "Yesterday morning I can't- SHIT" Nat said.

"I... I... crap" she said and walked around in circles. "It's back in Denver, IT HS TO BE BACK IN DENVER" she said

"what?"

"We need to go to Denver" Natalie said.

"are yoy sure?" I said

"Yes, it's.. on my top drawer IT HAST TO" She said bringing her hands to her head.

"Well why don't your parents bring it with them on the wedding?" Hannah said.

"are you crazy? this will only make things worse with them, for all I know they took it and hid it, look I'm driving back to Denver." she said.

"Why would your parents do-" I said and Hannah quickly cut me off

"We'll go with you"

"We what now?" I said and looked at her.

"And what are we doing about that mess?" Hannah asked pointing at Gerald.

"I.... might have an idea" I said

"You need a shovel?" Hannah asked.

"Don't think so..." I said

"Damn it Chris" Hannah said.

"Guys!" Nat said

"We're taking care of this Nat" I said and walked away from the unconscious Gerald.

----------

"Okay, I say, we put him in the trunk and leave for Denver." Alex said looking at Gerald on the floor.

"We take him with us to Denver?" Nat said.

"Yes, no phone no nothing, making it almost impossible for him to get to Jack" Alex said.

"It sounds illegal" Hannah said

Rian and I looked at each other and shrugged.

"Come on like any of you have any better plan" he said and we nodded.

"Fine then Rian help me girls let's go" Alex said hanging Gerald's arm over his shoulder and Rian doing the same on the other side. We dragged Gerald into the lobby and then the front desk lady came up to us.

"So how did you enjoy the suite?" she said and Rian and Alex quickly turned around.

"Perfect, we are taking it" Natalie said nervously smiling.

"Oh my, is your friend okay?" she said pointing over at Gerald.

"He just had one too many, can't handle himself am I right" I said letting out a nervous laugh.

"Yes...." she said looking at him.

"Well thank you very much see you later" Hannah said and pushed us towards the entrance.

"Where's the car Alex?" I said and he pointed towards the back. We walked over to the car and Alex opened the trunk and pushed Gerald inside of it, then him and Rian closed it and we were all about to get in the car when Natalie stopped.

"Wait, Gerald's car" she said and we looked at eachother.

"Chris take it and we park it inside the condo's parking lot" Alex said opening the trunk, I looked for the keys and found his phone.

"Do I take this or?" I said and then found the keys.

"Take everything come on" Natalie told me pushing me away and closing the trunk.

Hannah and I went around the  parking lot looking for Gerald's car, then when we found it we got in it and drove back to my apartment.

"Does this count as stealing a car? CHRIS ARE WE COMMITTING A FELON?!" Hannah said.

"Well we did kidnap Gerald" I said.

"Sweet" she said

"Pack all of your shit guys" Alex said running around the apartment throwing stuff into a bag, Hannah and I did the same then we ran outside and got into the car.

"So what now" Hannah asked and Alex started driving out of the city.

"We are going to Denver bitches" he said putting on sunglasses. "Oh wow these are real nice" he said and I saw they were Gerald's.

"Alex what the hell" I said trying to take them from him.

"I look good get off me" he said and I sat back on my seat, we'd been driving for about three hours already and we were about two hours away from Vegas.

"Um guys" Hannah said. "I kinda have to pee"

"Oh come on" Alex said and then we drove right past a sign that said just a few miles ahead there was a gas station.

"We need gas too" Rian said and we decided to make a stop, we all got off the car and Natalie and Hannah ran towards the restroom, Alex stayed outside and Rian and I went inside the small convenience store, I headed directly towards the food and got different bags of whatever looked good.

"Freedom" I said and dropped everything on the counter, the lady charged me then I made my way outside, Alex was nowhere to be seen and the car was violently moving, an old lady was staring and then I saw it, Gerald was crawling over the backseat.

"Oh nononono, HEY!" I yelled and ran towards the car.

"Oh, dear why is a man on your trunk" the old lady asked.

"it's uh... eh my cheating boyfriend" I said and nervously smiled, then the door opened and pushed me.

"Help me! HELP ME" he said getting out of the car and pushing me out of the way.

"Ma'am this psychopath and his friends kidnaped me" he said and the old lady looked at him and then back at me on the floor.
